Patent GB-190414545-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Thermo Electric Couples or Apparatus.
Inventor: BRISTOL WILLIAM HENRY
IPC: G01K7/02
Filed: 1904-06-28
Granted: 1904-07-28
Abstract: 14,545. Bristol, W. H. June 28. Pyrometers. - In thermo-electric couples, such as those used in pyrometry for measuring the temperatures of baths of molten lead, copper, tin, aluminium, &c., or of the lower temperatures of mercury and other metallic baths, the terminals of the couple A, B are not directly connected together, but their junction is effected by the metallic bath. The elements are adjusted in position by a bracket D, and their outer ends may be enclosed in a water, steam, or other jacket J of constant temperature. The elements may be partially encased in a refractory, non-conducting covering, or one element may be a tube having the other element placed inside, the annular space being filled with non-conducting material. For high temperatures, the elements may be of platinum and platinum alloy, connected at their outer ends to cheaper conductors, so that the secondary couples neutralize each other. The receptacle containing the metallic bath, or a plate or tool held by tongs, may be used as one of the elements, or the tool may be attached to an element and plunged in the bath. An adjustable resistance is placed in the circuit and altered to suit the varying conditions.

Abstract: 3290. Jaspersen, H. C. M. Feb. 10. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Pressure - regulating valves; actuating valves and cocks.-A gas-regulator as shown in Figs. 1 and 2 is provided with a membrane t<1> attached at the centre to a valve s which falls and closes the aperture in the partition q, i n the event of a leakage in the diaphragm, thus isolating the membrane c h a m-' bar. The casing is divided into two parts by a partition or block i, below which is situated the rectangular valve casing proper e. The incoming gas passes outside the casing e through four channels formed by four blocks Z of any material, and thence through four channels a, a', b, &c. into a chamber c. The gas then passes the valve d, and escapes through passages g, h in the partition i into the chamber o and thence through the discharge outlet j to the gas jets. The water carried by the gas is drained back from the chamber o by the conical upper surface i through the passages g, h, thus escaping the valve d, and back into the supply pipe through the opening p. When the membrane drops owing to a leakage therein, the piston valve n is lowered to cover and almost entirely close the inlets a, a<1>, b, &c., warning thus being given of the defect. The cylinder in which the valve n works is divided by a bellows-like device k from the upper chamber o. Cocks U, V, W,. Fig. 1, are provided and arranged to be' actuated' 'simultaneously by one handle X, as shown, to cut out the regulator when it becomes defective, or at other times, as required.
