Title: Contactor apparatus comprising means for automatically opening power circuits and a local control device
Inventor: CHRISTIAN THOMAS
IPC: H01H71/68
Filed: 1982-11-02
Abstract: A contactor apparatus comprising means for automatically opening power circuits should faults occur and a local control member. This apparatus comprises a plurality of power lines (8) each comprising a power contact (2) adapted to be opened during a short circuit by a striker (28), a coil (13) and a bimetallic strip (14), responding to smaller overloads. The elements responsive to overcurrents act on a cascade of sudden tripping devices (19) (17) (31) which govern the positions of the local control member (18) and act on a control switch (4) placed in series with the electromagnet (1). Such an apparatus is advantageously used in installations where protection of the lines, remote control and local control of the consumer apparatus are desired.

Title: Apertured macroscopically expanded three-dimensional polymeric web exhibiting breatheability and resistance to fluid transmission
Inventor: THOMPSON HUGH ANSLEY
IPC: D04H13/02
Filed: 1986-05-27
Abstract: @ The present invention pertains, in a particularly preferred embodiment, to an apertured, macroscopically expanded, resilient three-dimensional polymeric web which is believed to have particular utility as a breatheable barrier for a disposable bandage such as a diaper. The web preferably comprises a deeply drawn three-dimensional structure containing a multiplicity of debossments of macroscopic (i.e., visibly perceivable by the normal human eye at a perpendicular distance of about one foot) cross-section, each of said debossments originating as an aperture in a first surface of the web and having a continuously interconnected side wall extending in the direction of a second, remotely located parallel surface of the web. The side wall of each debossment terminates to form an end wall in the second surface of the web. The end wall includes a multiplicity of apertures, each of said apertures being sized and shaped to independently support an aqueous fluid meniscus. The smaller apertures in each end wall are so spaced relative to all adjacent apertures in the end wall that the aqueous fluid menisci supported in the apertures do not contact one another or the side wall. In a disposable absorbent bandage context, the second surface of the web containing the end walls with small apertures therein is placed in contact with the absorbent core portion of the bandage and the surface of the web in which the debossments originate is oriented so as to contact the wearer's outer garments in use.

Abstract: A method of drying or processing materials in a drying or processing cylinder, or other drying or processing apparatus, located within or forming at least part of an enclosure 1. At least a portion of a process gas entering a higher pressure region 4 of the enclosure is routed by a fan 2 through a venturi and around, over, across, through or adjacent the open end of a material input tube 7 at increased speed and reduced pressure. This provides suction at the opening of the material input tube into the higher pressure region of the enclosure which is sufficient to prevent, or substantially prevent, the pressure at the higher pressure region of the enclosure causing the process gas atmosphere in the enclosure to be blown through the tube and out of the enclosure into the external air or other gas atmosphere outside the apparatus. Preferably, the venturi is defined by an annulus formed by the material input tube located coaxially within a process gas duct 6, 8. The speed of the fan may be controlled. In a further aspect, an associated apparatus is disclosed.

Title: Improvements in and relating to thermostats
Inventor: HUNT ANDREW
IPC: F24H9/02
Filed: 2009-10-06
Granted: 2013-12-04
Abstract: A thermostat has two separate switches operated by one differential expansion actuator, a thermostatic switch 4 for controlling the temperature of fluid such as water in a tank and a thermal cut-out switch 5 to turn off a heater if the thermostatic switch fails. An assembly comprising the switches is attached to the end of an elongate actuator 3 comprising actuator members having different thermal expansion coefficients, such as a tube 7 attached to a rod 8 at its distal end. Changes in temperature can cause relative movement of the actuator members 7,8 which act separately on the switches to change their state at different thresholds, The temperature threshold may be adjustable using dial 19 for the thermostatic switch, which can automatically reset while the cut-out switch may require manual reset using push pin 33. A four-terminal thermostat (fig 6) can be adapted to replace a two-terminal thermostat by an adaptor (fig 8,70) that short-circuits two of its terminals such as the element terminals, (fig 8, 53,54) , the power supply terminals (fig 9, 51,52) or pilot light terminals (fig 10, 63,64). The adaptor can be insulated hand have male or female connectors.
