Abstract:
An emergency exit bolt assembly for mounting on the inner surface of a door includes active and inactive cases supporting a pair of pivoted levers connected by a horizontal panic bar. A slide supported for movement in the active case imparts rotary motion to a hub associated therewith when the panic bar is depressed. The hub is journalled in an alignment compensator entrapped in a space between the backplate of the active case and the inner surface of the door and arranged for limited movement relative thereto to compensate for misalignment of the drive connection between the active case hub and another hub associated with a mortise latch unit mounted in a mortise opening in the edge of the door. In one position, the slide cooperates with the active case hub to maintain it in a predetermined angular position to facilitate connection of the drive shaft between the active case hub and the other hub on the latch unit during installation on a door.
Abstract:
A cooling system for a glassware mold includes means for generating a flow of cooling air to pass over the surface of the glassware mold. There is additionally provided a cylindrical metallic body having similar cooling characteristics to the glassware mold and the surface of this body is subjected to a flow of cooling air similar to that which is passed over the surface of the glassware mold, whilst heat is continuously supplied to the cylindrical metallic body in order to maintain it at a temperature near to the desired operating temperature of the glassware mold during a glassware forming process. The temperature at or near the surface of the cylindrical metallic body is continuously sensed and fluctuations in this temperature are utilised in order to vary the rate at which the cooling air is passed over the surface of both the glassware mold and the cylindrical metallic body. The rate at which the cooling air cools the glassware mold is thus maintained substantially constant despite changes in the cooling capacity of the cooling air.
