  • Patent number: 5649429
    Abstract: The invention relates to an air conditioner for motor vehicles, with a compressor, a condenser, an expansion valve, and an evaporator, all traversed by a refrigerant in a refrigerant circuit in the above sequence. An air distribution duct leads to the vehicle interior, where the evaporator is located and can be exposed to an air flow. The air flow can be adjusted optionally by means of a servo-controllable flap to supply fresh air or to recirculate the air. A pressure sensor is located between the evaporator and the expansion valve of the refrigerant circuit for safety reasons, to detect the refrigerant pressure in the vicinity of the evaporator. If the refrigerant pressure drops below a presettable minimum acceptable limiting value, the sensor generates a pressure signal that sets the flap controlling the air stream to supply fresh air and activates the corresponding blower as well as an optical and/or acoustic warning device.

  • Patent number: 3940894
    Abstract: Transparent tubular caskets are closed at one end by a shouldered plug-type cover. Pegs are driven laterally through the transparent wall into aligned holes in the cover. A central evacuating and inert gas filling hole is threaded to receive a pad-eye for lowering the tubular casket into a glass lined vertical concrete vault. The upper edge of the vault is rabbeted to receive a rabbeted concrete cover with centrally recessed decorative identification plate, which covers a threaded pad-eye receiver hole. A plurality of vaults in a honeycomb arrangement have interspaces to receive ashes and pets.
