Abstract: A control mechanism for moving a door of an air conditioner which includes a mounted movable carriage in contact with a biased door. The carriage by means of a connected resilient arm containing a pin which slidably follows a ramp arrangement holds the door in an open position when operated in a single direction and released. Upon the second operation in the same direction and subsequent release the biased door returns to a closed position and the control mechanism returns to its initial position.

Abstract: A forced air range is part of a domestic appliance system which includes hot and cold thermal reservoirs. A thermal exchange fluid can circulate between a heat exchanger in one of the thermal reservoirs and a heat exchanger within a duct in the forced air range. For operation, an ordinary houseware such as a pot, is placed on the range and temperature and heating rates are programmed. A blower circulates air through the heat exchanger and under the houseware. Thermal exchange fluid flows through the heat exchanger to maintain the circulating air at the programmed temperature.

Abstract: An apparatus for simultaneously monitoring the temperature within a refrigerated enclosure and the temperature of the ambient air exteriorly of the enclosure which functions to shut down normal compressor operations and selectively activates one or more primary and auxiliary ambient air inlet supply units dependent upon the temperature of the ambient air when the ambient air temperature is below the temperature within the enclosure.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a room air conditioning unit and is more specifically directed to the airflow control mechanism for adjusting the airflow through a vent generally associated with such units for permitting a flow of air between the air conditioned space and the outdoor air.

Abstract: The present invention includes a ventilator for use in equalizing pressures within and without an enclosure, such as a coldroom or the like. A heated valve assembly is situated within an enclosure wall opening such that it is freely exposed to both environmental and internal fluid air pressures. A fluid impervious wall formed with inlet and outlet ports therethrough is partially covered by inner and outer closure members, both of which are supported and keyed by a common rod or shaft. These closure members are each biased by a common helical spring toward sealed and closed positions in which the inlet and outlet ports are covered. Pressure differentials are equalized by displacement of at least one of said closure members, thereby permitting air flow through one of the respective ports. By preselecting the spring rate of the helical spring, the minimum forces required to displace the closure members are controlled and predetermined.
