Title: Improvements in and relating to Contacts for Electric Switches and the like.
IPC: H01H1/10
Filed: 1909-08-06
Granted: 1910-08-08
Abstract: 18,221. Field, M. B., and Ferranti, Ltd. Aug. 6. Contacts. - The contacts or jaws of electric switches, fuses, &c. are formed of ends or faces of standard wrought-copper strips, and are carried through the panel and connected directly to the cable or cable socket. In the form shown in Figs. 2 and 3, the jaws are formed of parallel bars a, b separated by distance-pieces e which pass through slots in the panel d, and are attached to the panel by angle-pieces, and connected to the leads either directly as at m or through a socket n. The movable member may consist of two copper pieces g, h hinged together and provided with a spring to form a quick break. In a modified form for heavy currents, the switch jaws and movable member consist of a series of parallel bars and the lower jaws, to which the movable member is pivoted, are drawn together behind the panel, riveted and soldered into a solid mass, and drilled with taper holes to receive cable sockets. Fig. 7 shows the contact applied to a circuit-breaker; in this case the copper strips a are separated by copper distance-pieces e, to which they are sweated and riveted, and the strips are drawn together on the other side of the panel and bolted together. Fig. 9 shows the contacts applied to a fuse clip ; in this form the jaws y may have a central projection x.

Abstract: 13,917. Knudsen, H. June 8. Strip-controlled electric driving-mechanism. -In a type - printing and type - setting telegraphic machine, a contact-arm a is rotated by an electromagneticallycontrolled escapement at the transmitter, and moves with a step-bystep motion over a series of contacts d, which are connected to fingers f resting on a perforated transmitting-strip n on a contact-drum in such a manner that a perforation sends a corresponding impulse to line. At the receiver a type-wheel b is driven synchronously with the transmitting - arm, and a received impulse presses a paper strip 6 against the wheel to print the appropriate letter. The wheel b may be replaced by a switch adapted to close a number of circuits having magnets adapted to operate a typesetting machine.
