A detachable plug for use with ironclad switches comprises a two-part casing d<1>, d<2> of cylindrical or other section containing two stationnary contacts g, h each located within a separate recess u, v in the casing and so arranged that they do not project beyond the contour of the casing. The leads g<1>, h<1> to the contacts are insulated and secured within grooves in the lower part of the casing; as shown in Fig. 3, and are connected at the ends to the leading-in wires f, e. When a cylindrical casing is employed, a longitudinal rib is provided thereon to ensure the correct insertion of the plug into the switch.

Abstract: 26,170. Soc. Anon. des Etablissements Delaunay-Belleville. Dec. 28, 1912; [Convention date]. [Addition to 19,679/13.] Clutches and s p e e d - v a r y i n g mechanism.- Comprises a modification of the apparatus described in the parent Specification, whereby m a n u a l control of the speed-varying device may be substituted for the positive mechanical control. The roller D, Fig. 1, is continuously driven from the main shaft A of the gear through the gearing F<1>, F<3>, F<2>. The flanged spindle M, when rotated, is adapted to rotate the controlling - screw V of the gear, which may be of the Janney type. On turning the handle P, the flanged nut E is rotated, thus moving the screw N longitudinally and bring- ing either the upper or lower flange of the spindle M into frictional engagement with the rotating roller D. The rotation of the parts M, V, the direction of which depends on which flange of the sleeve M is engaged, causes a withdrawal of the screw N and sleeve M into their inoperative position, so that the screw V is moved an amount corresponding with the rotation of the handle P. A direct manual turning of the sleeve M and screw V is obtained by inserting a key in the slot R. A modification is shown in Fig. 4, in which the nut C is forced axially by a rotation of the screw G, rotational movement of the nut being prevented by the setscrew H projecting into a groove I. The nut C is brought back to its inoperative position by the rotation of the sleeve M.
