Title: Spectacle retaining cord having integral noose assemblies
Inventor: SMITH GUY CUBITT
IPC: G02C11/00
Filed: 1988-11-08
Abstract: A spectacle cord having an integral noose assembly 30 of individually adjustable size at each end of a flexible strand 28. Tension on the cord from the spectacles tends to tighten rather than loosen the grip of each noose on the spectacle frame, so that the spectacles are less likely to be wrenched free from the spectacle cord. The size of either noose can quickly be changed (by feeding through more of the strand, or withdrawing some of the strand) without significant damage to the noose assembly or reduction in its future performance. The coil is secured, preferably by fusing, at its end remote from the outer noose so that the securement is largely isolated from flexure and consequent premature failure. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-905726-A (GB)
Abstract: 905,726. Valves. BARNSLEY Ltd., WILLIAM, and BARNSLEY, A. H. C. Jan. 5, 1961 [Jan.14, 1960], No. 1350/60. Class 135. A thermally actuated valve comprises a valve closure member 11, formed as a stepped plunger, co-operating with a valve seat 12 and loaded in the opening direction by a spring 15 into contact with a bi-metal disc 18. The valve is held closed when the disc 18 is cold, but when the disc is heated, as for example by a pilot jet 22, it buckles and allows the valve to open under the spring loading. As shown, the valve controls the flow of gas from an inlet 14 to an outlet 17 connected to the burners of an appliance. The valve may also be used to control gas flow to the burners and open a by-pass in the event that the appliance heats above a predetermined value. The disc 18 is clamped between a sleeve 20 and nut 19 and may be adjusted axially relative to the plunger.
