Abstract: 26,260. Sipe, J. B. Dec. 2. Arc lamps.-A clutch lamp with enclosed arc is shown in section. A brass tube 8, supported in a socket 9 in the cap 2, contains a short tube 10, in which can slide a tube 11, provided with a closing-head 12 and a bushing 13 for supporting the carbon 14. Pin-and-slot connections between the tubes 10, 11, and between the latter and the bushing 13, prevent rotation of the parts. Flat spiral copper, strips 8<a>, 11<b> are attached to the insulated socket 9, head 12, and bushing 13, and to the bushing 13 is also fixed a short rod 15. The resistance support 6 is of ordinary form. Surrounding the tube 11 is the core 29 of the regulating-solenoid 17, which consists of a spirallywound copper ribbon, the convolutions being separated by radially-slit mica-discs. -Mica sleeves 24, 24<a> are slipped round and inside the coil when built up, and the whole is covered by a steel cylinder 26 and end-plates 18, 25, secured together by setting up the ends of the cylinder. The solenoid is supported on a split ring 16, adjustably clamped on the tube 8 by means of a small screw. An iron thimble 28 is inserted between the inner sleeve 24<a> and the tube 8. Secured to the end of the tube 8 is a collar 30, which supports, by means of screws insulated with porcelain bushings, the guide-plate 31 of the housing 5 and the dash-pot 34, insulating mica discs being interposed. The dash-pot 34 is of greater width than usual, and its piston 35 consists of a flat ring of aluminium or other suitable material, which does not quite touch the dash-pot cylinder, and is insulated by mica discs from plates 36, 39. The plate 36 is fixed on the end of the tube 11, and both plates have tapered collars so that the plate 39 may be fixed in position by hammering or compression. The piston 35 can slide between the insulating mica discs, so as to avoid friction against the cylinder. Pivoted to projections from the plate 36 are clutch arms 44, the free ends of which are shaped to receive the carbon. The cap 48 of the inner globe 56 is removably secured by means of bolts 49, pivoted to the cap and taking into forked lugs, against which nuts on these bolts bear. In the centre of the cap 48 is an insulating- bushing through which the carbon passes. The globe 56 is secured to the cap by a spring holder 66 so as to be practically airtight. The holder 66 consists of a steel wire frame having a ring 66<a> which fits the bottom of the globe, and the two upper ends of the wires are provided with nuts 65 sliding in brass tubes 62. Springs 64 act against the nuts 65 and against discs 63 screwed into the ends of the tubes 62. An outer globe 57, and a switch 68 at the top of the lamp, both of ordinary form, may be provided.
