Abstract: 8907. General Composing Co. July 4, 1910, [Convention date]. Arc lamps.-In a 'candle,' an intermediate layer for effecting re-ignition contains compounds of titanium such as a salt, the dioxide or titanic acid, together with carbon or graphite if necessary. Conductive compounds are formed from these materials only after heating to high temperatures, so that the ' bridge' produced by the action of the arc does not become so thick as to carry a large current. The bridgeforming materials may be finely divided or colloidal, for the same purpose. Inert substances such as a mixture of magnesia or chamotte and silicic acid or a silicate, or of an oxalate or carbonate and a flux, may be added. The end of the candle is covered with a conductive powder to enable the first ignition to take place. According to the Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a), the titanium compound may be replaced by ferrous oxide, lead oxide, or compounds of vanadium or tungsten; the reducible material may occupy only part of the cross-section of the separating mass; and this mass mav contain substances which increase the luminosity of the arc. This subjectmatter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

A lantern carrying a switch is adapted to be rotated to close the case and position the switch so that the circuit may be completed after the case is closed but must be broken before the case can be opened. The closure may be effected b y a screw connexion or by the engagement of pins on one part with slots in the other. In the arrangement shown, a cylindrical metal case C containing the battery, has two bayonetpins Z on its rim for engaging inclined slots in the base Y of the lantern ; a hasp U on the base being locked to a staple on the case. The lamp l is carried by a detachable cover H fixed by a separate spring in the base Y. The centre contact of the lamp is connected by a pin P to a spring K on one battery terminal. A switch S threaded through the top of the lantern is adapted to engage a spring J on the other terminal. The battery has a projection E, Fig. 2, to register with a slot in the case and the springs J, K are positioned by engaging square projections on the battery terminals. The switch S moves from the dotted to the full position ready for screwing down to engage the spring J when the bayonet-joint is locked. In a modification, the cover H does not rotate with the lantern but has a set-pin to engage a hole in the top edge of the case. The switch is positioned over a guide-hole in the cover in the locking position ready for screwing down to complete the circuit, but must be unscrewed until clear of the cover before unlocking is possible; or the switch may engage an insulated plate or stud on the cover and one battery terminal an insulated ring fixed under the cover.
