Abstract: 28,092. Carbone, T. L. Dec. 19. Arc lamps.-A lamp is arranged to produce an arc just below an insulating base-plate, between the lower ends of two inclined pairs of inclined carbons. One pair of the carbons 15, 16 is shown in Fig. 4, with its guides. The carbons are carried by clamps 12, which slide in contact with inclined projections 17 on a plate 8, and are connected by short outwardly-inclined links 11 with a block 10. This block slides freely on the plate 8. The two carbons at either side of the lamp are thus caused to move down equally, and their lower ends are in contact, as shown, to form one electrode. Above the insulating base-plate they pass between adjusting-screws 19 carried by the plate 8, and they are separated by a pin 20 carried by a swinging link. The plate 8 at one side of the lamp is secured to the insulating base-plate and a top-plate, which are also connected by two iron rods and brackets. The similar plate 8, guiding the second pair of carbons, at the other side of the lamp, can be turned about pivots on the top-plate by a link and an iron armature, this being movable between stops by a series electromagnet; the plate 8 and carbons are thus moved outwards to strike the arc. The first pair of carbons passes through a small guiding-aperture in the insulating baseplates ; the second pair is guided by two' slotted plates, pivoted on the base-plate, and closed together by an arm of the swinging plate 8 when the arc is struck. A cut-out is released by a bent lever being deflected by two projections 32 on one block 10, when this descends sufficiently owing to the carbons burning out.
