Abstract: 13,315. Compagnie pour la Fabrication des Compteurs et MatÚriel d'Usines Ó Gaz. Nov. 11, 1910, [Convention date]. Electro-magnetic interrupters. - Relates to current-limiting interrupters of the kind having an electro-magnet, a pivoted armature, and a separate pivoted contact - lever. According to the invention, the electro-magnet armature a, Fig. 1, carries a hook or extension e, which, when the armature is attracted by excessive current, strikes, after a certain free movement, a lever l attached to an adjustable weight p and bearing a flexible contact-strip L, and removes it from a fixed contact-plate c. The circuit of the electro-magnet is thus broken, and the strokes are repeated automatically. The fixed contact-plate c is attached to a brass cylinder which fits into a split brass tube. The vibratory contact L is detachably held to the lever l by a pivoted copper or brass flap. The switch is provided with a cover removably attached to a base by means of springs on the cover engaging pins on the base. In a modified form, Fig. 3, devices are added enabling the apparatus to act as a cut-out at predetermined higher values of current. The devices consist of an arm h rigidly attached to the contact-lever, and a spring- retracted latching-lever b<1> which yields to the right upon the impact of the arm h if it swings too far, due to excessive current, and prevents the arm from returning. To re-close the circuit afterwards, the lever b<1> must be turned to the right by hand. A screw V is provided to adjust the current value at which the device operates, and an adjustable tension spring R may also be provided.
