expand with an intentional abnormal rise of gas-pressure,
means for communicating its expansive movement to release
clockwork and allow the latter to move alternately forward
or backward an arm communicating with the tap of the
burner, means such as a coiled spring to energize the said
clockwork, and means at the controlling gas-station for giving
the required abnormal pressure to the gas, substantially as
and for the purposes set forth. (2.) In apparatus for auto-
atically turning on and off the lights of gas-burners, in
combination, means embracing an expanding body arranged
to synchronously expand with an intentional abnormal rise
of gas-pressure, means such as an adjustable weighted lever
or corresponding weight or pressure medium operating against
the action of the expanding body, means for communicating
the expansive movement to release clockwork and allow the
latter to move alternately forward or backward, means for
communicating the movement produced to the tap of the
burner, means for providing energy to the said clockwork,
and means at the controlling gas-station for giving such
abnormal pressure to the gas as will overcome the adjusted
retarding pressure or weights upon the expanding body,
substantially as and for the purposes set forth. (3.) In
apparatus for automatically turning on and off the lights of
gas-burners, in combination, means embracing an expanding
body arranged to synchronously expand with an intentional
abnormal rise of gas-pressure, means such as an adjustable
weighted lever operating against the expansion of the ex-
panding body, a clockwork mechanism having a crank 9
and means for stopping the mechanism on a half-turn of the
crank, a rod 11, means for removing part of the weight or
pressure from action against the expansion of the body, a
plate 25, and an arm 27, substantially as and for the purposes
set forth. (4.) The general combination and arrangement
of the several parts forming apparatus for automatically
turning on and off the lights of gas-burners, controllable
from a distance, substantially as described, and as illustrated
in the drawing.
