Title: Improvements in Circuit Controllers for Induction Coils.
Inventor: HEYS WILLIAM GEORGE
Filed: 1904-02-13
Granted: 1904-04-07
Abstract: 3631. Heys, W. G., [Varley Duplex Magnet Co.]. Feb. 13. Gas and like engines, igniting in. Make-andbreak switches for induction coils suitable for explosion engines have the oscillating part operated electromagnetically in both directions, so that springs may be dispensed with and the switch may be sealed up. The contacts may be immersed in oil. They are prevented from sticking, owing to welding, by giving to one a slight turning movement each time the vibratory part moves away from it. Figs. 1 and 2 show an arrangement applied to an explosion engine for stationary or automobile work. The primary coil 2 of a transformer having a core 1 and secondary coil 3 is connected at one end by wires 26, 21 to a battery 19. A wire 27 connects the other end to a plate 7 hinged at 8 so as to hang between the core 1 and the core 5 of an electromagnet 4. The motion of the plate 7 is limited by a hook 9 formed on it, engaging an insulating-plate 6 carried by the electromagnet 4. The movement of the plate 7 carries a contact 10 into and out of engagement with a contact 11 secured to a post 12 mounted free to rock in the plate 6 and in a brass plate 13 secured to the magnet 4. A wire 23 connects the plate 13 through the usual make-and-break switch 18 on the axle of the engine, through the earth or the vehicle frame, and through a switch 17 to the battery 19. A condenser is arranged in shunt with the contacts. The magnet 4 is connected to the battery by a wire 22, and to the switch 18 by the wire 23. The rocking post 12 has an arm 14 pressed by a spring 15 away from the conducting- core 5, so that every variation of the current passing through the electromagnet 4 gives a slight turn tu the contact 11. The arrangement operates as follows :-When the switches 17, 18 are closed, the magnet 4 is energized, and attracts the plate 7 so as to close the circuit through the primary coil 2. The attraction of the coil 1 then overpowers the magnet 4, and again opens the circuit. Owing to the low resistance of the coil 2, the magnet 4 is almost de-energized when the coil 2 is in the circuit. A spring 16 may be provided to press the contacts 10, 11 apart. This spring is not strong enough to effect the apparatus when in action. As, however, it forces the contacts far apart when the apparatus is not in use, the contacts come together when the current is started, with a force sufficient to crush or remove any foreign substance on the contacts. The plate 7 may be a spring plate, or it may be supported by cords or filaments, a spring 16 being preferably provided when gravity does not hold the contacts apart. The plate may be pivoted in its centre, the magnet 4 being then arranged on the other end of the same side of it as the core. The device for preventing sticking may be dispensed with. The arm 14 and post 12 at times serve as a portion of the magnetic circuit of the magnet 4.

Velocipede lamps. -In an acetylene cycle lamp, the carbide-holder is divided into four compartments, each of which may be brought separately under a water-dripping arrangement. A water reservoir A is fixed above a receptacle E containing the carbideholder Y, which is divided into compartments D<1>, D<3>, &c., and may be rotated, within the receptacle, by a thumb - screw U. The water-supply is regulated by means of a plug, which may be screwed into a V-shaped orifice J in the bottom of the reservoir, and drips into perforated tubes F fitted in each compartment. The gas passes through a filtering-medium C into a chamber B, and escapes through a tube L to the burner. The burner is carried at the top of a short tube N which is divided into two parts and may be screwed up or down in a socket at the end of the tube L. When the tube is screwed down, a hole in the npper part N corresponds with the opening in the the tube L and the gas flows to the jet. When the tube is screwed up, a hole in the lower part corresponds with the opening in the tube L. This hole is covered by a leather pad 0 which is held by a spring Z and prevents the escape of gas, through a hole M in a thumb-screw P, unless the gas pressure is sufficient to overcome the spring.
