Title: Improvements in Vapour Electric Apparatus
Inventor: FERGUSON SAMUEL
Filed: 1905-01-17
Granted: 1905-07-06
Abstract: 955. Ferguson, S. Jan. 18, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Converting alternating and direct currents; switches. -Mercury - vapour rectifiers and the like having subsidiary starting- electrodes are provided with e;l e c t r o-magnetic means for shaking them in order to strike the arc. The shaking also temporarily closes a special switch in the starting-circuit. The U-shaped exhausted tube 2 is mounted on a base 12, which is pivoted, above its centre of gravity, on an insulating-slab (not shown) and may be provided with a handle moving between cushioned stops. A pin on the base 12 engages a slot in a block, which is adjustably mounted on a screw 21, pivoted to the armature 20 of an electro-magnet 18. A spring 25 presses the armature away from the electromagnet when the latter is not excited. By means of a switch 38, current is sent through the electromagnet. When the cushioned end of the armature 20 meets the electro-magnet, a projection 29 on the base 12 pushes a spring arm 27 away from a contact 28 and breaks the circuit through the electromagnet 18, allowing the base 12 to swing back again. On the base 12 may be fixed a mercury switch 30 consisting of a glass tube with an inclined partition 31 extending some distance above the bottom. When the base is rocked, mercury flows over the partition and connects two wires 36, 31, thus putting the subsidiary starting- electrode 8 in circuit. After the rectifier is started, the switch 38 is opened and the rocking ceases. The mercury in the tube 30 then flows back through a small hole in the partition 31 and disconnects the wires 36, 37. The rectifier is provided with electrodes 34 which may be of artificial graphite and are connected to the alternating- current supply mains 39, 40. An electrode is connected through a storage battery 43, or other apparatus receiving the direct current, to the junction between inductances 41, 42 in series across the mains. Switches 44, 45 allow the current to be passed through a resistance instead of through the battery 43 during starting. The battery 43 may serve to excite the electro-magnet 18.
