Video door phone indoor terminal.. Going a little further in time, we find video door phones featuring a video installation apart from the classical audio. In these cases, the intercom plate has the same structure as the previous version but features a video monitor connected to a surveillance camera that allows inspecting the person who pressed the button and part of the surrounding area.
Shop-Vac was founded by Martin Miller in 1953 under Craft Tool Company of New York. Miller wanted to replace the broom and dust pan in his workshop with a vacuum cleaner capable of collecting wood and metal chips too large for a conventional machine.
The most widely used form is the interrupter bell, which is a mechanical bell that produces a continuous sound when current is applied. See animation, above. The bell or gong (B), which is often in the shape of a cup or half-sphere, is struck by a spring-loaded arm (A) with a metal ball on the end called a clapper, actuated by an electromagnet ...

When not in use, the hose is loosely coiled around a wire rack mounted on a closet wall, or on the back of a door. An alternative for storing vacuum hoses is the "Hide-A-Hose" system, which uses suction to draw the hose into the vacuum piping in the wall for storage. Hose lengths used are typically 30/40/50 ft (9/12/15 m).
Doorbell mechanism from 1884 in Andrássy Avenue, Budapest Antique mechanically operated shop doorbell on a torsion spring. William Murdoch, a Scottish inventor, installed a number of his own innovations in his house, built in Birmingham in 1817; one of these was a loud doorbell, that worked using a piped system of compressed air.

A door closer is a mechanical device that regulates the speed and action of a door’s swing. [1] Manual closers store the force used to open the door in some type of spring and reuse it to close the door. Automatic types use electricity to regulate door swing behavior. Door closers can be linked to a building's fire and security alarm systems. [2]
A vacuum interrupter uses a high vacuum to extinguish the arc between a pair of contacts. As the contacts move apart, current flows through a smaller area. There is a sharp increase in resistance between the contacts, and the temperature at the contact surface increases rapidly until the occurrence of electrode-metal evaporation.
