Granted: 1906-10-18
Abstract: 27,180. Smart, C. Dec. 29. Disengaging. couplings. - Relates to means for suspending and releasing electric arc lamps &c. A hollow casting a with the cylindrical extension c is suspended from the fixed casing by bolts 6. The lamp-holder s carries a hollow vertical stem l, through which the suspending- rope passes, provided at its upper end with a T-shaped head o, shown in Fig. 4, which is adapted to pass through a rectangular slot in a ring p, Fig. 9. This ring carries two pins r which rest between projections e<1>, e<2>, &c., formed on or attached to the casting a. When the lamp is raised, the T-shaped head o passes through and picks up the ring p, the pins of which engage one of the fixed bevel surfaces h, h<1>, thereby turning the ring through a right-angle and securing it to the tube l. If the lamp is then slightly lowered, the pins r rest between the projections e<1>, e<2>, &c. and sustain the lamp. In order to release the lamp, it is raised until the ring p is again turned through a right-angle, and freed from the T-shaped head o. The lower end of the fixed casing is formed with a cam and slot to guide the lamp into correct angular position. Electric contact is made by means of contact plugs or plates 1 on the lampholder engaging between springs z, connected to cables passing through holes 2 in the upper casting. The whole may be suspended from a ball-andsocket joint to allow of oscillation.
