Title: Improvements in Electric Arc Lamps.
Inventor: ECKSTEIN AUGUST
Filed: 1905-02-21
Granted: 1906-01-04
Abstract: 3562. Eckstein, A., and Angold, A. E. Feb. 21. Arc lamps.-A clutch lamp, for use in a series of lamps, is provided with clutch gear shown in side view in Fig. 1, arranged and made of such dimensions that friction is small and an arc of full length is struck with a current not much larger than the normal working current, without the use of a shunt coil. All the arcs are restruck at intervals by the use of a commutator to open the circuit periodically, or springs or weighted buffers to retard the motion of the clutch gear when near the feeding-point, or contact-devices to vary the strength of the solenoids, or divided cores as described in Specification No. 12,146, A.D. 1903, or additions to the clutch gear, shown in Fig. 3. The clutch consists of two horizontally-movable jaws on opposite sides of the upper carbon D, one jaw being shown at K, Fig. 1 ; the outer ends of the jaws are pivoted to two inclined levers I, the lower ends of which are pivoted to an horizontal link, while the upper ends hang on two nearly horizontal levers G, double-jointed at H to the lamp frame. The free ends of the levers G engage in two slotted inclined links F, pivoted at E to a dash-pot C, which is carried by the # shaped core B of two series coils A. The vertical motion of the clutch is thus about two-thirds of that of the core B. When inactive the core extends nearly to the top of the coils A, which are made somewhat short and thick, suitable proportions being specified; when the arc is struck, the core projects above the coils, an increased current being necessary to hold it there. Fig. 3 is a front view of one of the slotted links F, its vertically-movable pivot E, and one lever G ; the pivot E carries a strut M which descends on a part R of a lever N, pivoted at P, as the core B, Fig. 1, descends ; the longer arm of the lever N is thus raised from a stop O, and raises the lever G with the clutch, so that the arc is actually lengthenel, when the feed should occur. Eventually, a shoulder S on the lever N pushes the strut M off the shoulder R, dropping the lever G and the clutch ; the pivot E then lowers the link F until the top of the slot in it presses out the lever G and opens the clutch. The link F is provided with a vertical edge V to bear against the pivot P and prevent movement of the link F to the right when the arc is struck. The parts F, M, N, O are duplicated in the lamp, to act on the second lever G. The invention is applicable to lamps having two arcs in one globe. Specification No. 7275, A.D. 1889, is referred to.
