AUTOMATIC GAS-LIGHT EXTINGUISHE R.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 254,198, dated February 28, 1882,
Application filed November 11, 1881.
fication.
This invention has reference to an attachment to clocks, by means of which at any desired time the gas for supplying one or more burners may be automatically turned off or on or an alarm operated.
The invention consists in providing the arbor by which the hour-hand is turned with a sleeve provided with acam and an auxiliary dial and a spring-pressed latch, constructed to release a rod operated by a spring or weight and connected with one or more gas-cocks, so that at the time for which the device-is set the gas will be either shut off or more fully turned on,
as will be described hereinafter.
Figure 1 is a view of the mechanism of a clock,showingan auxiliary dial, partly broken away to show the mechanism for operating the gas-cock more clearly. Fig. 2 is a front and side view of the auxiliary dial, showing the cam by which the mechanism for operating the gas-cock is operated.
.In the drawings, A represents the frame of a clock provided with the usual gears.
B is the pendulum, and Uis the arbor, to which the minute and hour hands are secured.
In clocks the minute-hand is usually secured to the end of the arbor and the hour-hand to asleeve surrounding the arbor, both connected with the gear, so that the minute-hand makes the revolution in one hour and the hour-hand makes one revolution in twelve hours.
On the sleeve of the hour-hand I place the auxiliary dial D, provided with the cam E, so that, while it can be turned on the sleeve of the hour-hand, it will turn with the same. The cam E supports the lever j, which is pressed against the cam by the spring 9. The end of the lever f, or a lateral'projection fromthe same, bears against a shoulder formed on the rod h, one end of which is connected by means of a rod, wire, or cord with the lever of the gaseock t', and the other end is connected in this case with the spring is. A weight may be connected with this end, or a coiled spring may be used to operate the gas-cock when released.
(No model.)
The cam E is provided with the notch e, and when in the turning of the cam the end of the spring-pressed lever f reaches the notch e the end of the lever suddenly enters the notch and releases the rod h. The spring or any other force, acting on the rod, moves the same and operates the gas-valve.
An alarm may be operated at a distance from the clock by this device at the same time that the gas-cock is operated. Gas may be allowed to burn so as to give a small flame, and at a given time the gas-cock may be operated to turn on more gas, so as to increase the light.
The operation of the device is as follows: The auxiliary dial being in place, the notch e is on a line with figure XII. If now the auxiliary dial is so that all the figures are on radial lines with the figures on the fixed and usual I dial, then the device will operate at twelve ocloek, the figure XII being under the hourhand; If it is now desired to turn the gas oft or on at three oclock, then the auxiliary dial is moved until the figure III is under the hourhand, and so for any other hour. When the hour-hand reaches this hour on the fixed dial the notch a will be under the end of the lever f and the rod It will be disengaged.
Having thus described my invention, Iclaim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1. The combination,withaclock, of the auxiliary dial D, adjustablyseeured upon the hourhand sleeve and provided with the notched flan gc E, the rod It, provided with a catch or shoulder and connected with a gas-cock, the lever having oneend arranged to engage with said shoulder and to rest upon the periphery of the flange E, and a spring arranged to press said lever into the notch in said flange and release it from said shoulder, substantially as described.
2. The combination, with a clock and the cock of a gas-burner, of an adjustable tripping device upon the sleeve of the hour-hand, a rod operated automatically to move the gas-cock in one direction, and a device arranged to hold said rod at a point of its movement in the opposite direction and to be disengaged therefrom at a predetermined period by the action of tripping device upon the hour-hand, substantially as described.
