Title: Improvements in Electric Vibrators.
Inventor: NICHOLSON ARTHUR HAROLD
IPC: H01H51/34
Filed: 1911-10-20
Granted: 1912-06-06
Abstract: 23,191. Nicholson, A. H. Oct. 20. Electro-magnetic interrupters of the vibrating- contact type are provided with means for adjusting the stationary contact automatically by the flow of current through shunt and series solenoids e, k which act oppositely upon a beam c rigidly attached to a screwed spindle passing through a fixed nut b and bearing the stationary contact a. According as the contacts get too near together or too far apart for good working, the series or the shunt solenoid predominates and moves the contact member backwards or forwards. The solenoids may be made so as to damp the movement of their cores. A condenser is connected across one or both solenoids.
