Patent GB-190500542-A (GB)
Title: An Improved Electric Switch or Cut Out.
Inventor: MACLEAN JOHN
Filed: 1905-01-11
Granted: 1905-12-21
Abstract: 542. Maclean, J. Jan. 11. Cut-outs; switches.-A lever actuated by rack- and-pinion mechanism is balanced between the pull of a spring and the pull of a solenoid when normal current is passing. The insulated lever a, Figs. 1 and 2, is screwed to the forked plate a<2> pivoted on the pin a<1>, and connects two terminal plates b, c, insulated from the brass plate d, one end of which is bent into a frame d<1> to support the solenoid e. The contact-lever a carries tappets h, i, which are actuated by cams f, g mounted on the spindle j. A lever arm n, pivoted at k, is attached to the core w of the solenoid e by a rod s, and also carries a rack m engaging with the pinion o on the spindle j. The core of the solenoid e has a fixed part v secured to the frame d' and with a conical top as shown in Fig. 5. The movable part w consists of an inverted iron cup in which is a central core r with a conical space r<1>. The cup w just clears the exciting-coil v<1>. The outer edges of the two parts v, ware also coned to diminish the air gap. In order to prevent the switch from acting too rapidly, the solenoid may have a tube x carrying a hollow piston x<2> which fits in a cavity x<1> in the part w. A longitudinal groove in the exterior of the piston enables air to pass from the space r<1> to the space x<1>. The switch is closed by rotation of the handle p, the cam g strilfing the tappet i. When the current passing through the coil v<4> of the solenoid e exceeds a predetermined value, the cup w is attracted down, thereby actuating the rack m and pinion o against a spring q<1>. When the arm l passes its dead centre, the spring and solenoid act in the same direction, and the cam f opens the switch. A graduated dial p<1> may be used in connexion with the handle p to measure approximately the current passing.

Title: Improvements in Three Phase Arc Lamps
Inventor: NASMITH JOHN WILLIAM
Filed: 1906-07-03
Granted: 1907-03-07
Abstract: 15,107. Nasmith, J. W., [Carbone, T. L.]. July 3. Arc lamps with three converging electrodes for three - phase currents have adjustable resistance or inductance coils in and between the supply conductors for equalizing the consumption of the carbons. If the coils are within the lamp, they may also be used to control the feed-regulating mechanism. In the arrangement shown, there are coils e, f between the conductors b, d and their respective carbons, and coils g, h, between these two conductors and the third conductor. The coils e, f can be adjustably shunted by resistances i, k, which may be spira's of nickeline wire. The coils e, f form the main windings and the coils g, h the secondary windings of differential regulating-coils. The lamp is adjusted as follows. The coils e, f being wound to produce a greater attraction in the regulating coil than is necessary, the current in them is reduced to the required extent by adjusting the resistances i, k. These are then further adjusted to correct inequalities in the consumption of the electrodes, and the regulating- mechanism is finally adjusted by the use of small weights. A magnetic arrangement is used to keep the arc down, as described in Specifications Nos. 24,859 and 27,657, A.D. 1902.
