Abstract

1,191,080. Relays with conducting liquid wetted contacts. SIEMENS A.G. 3 Dec., 1968 [4 Dec., 1967], No. 57302/68. Heading H1N. An electromagnetic relay having conducting liquid (e.g. mercury) wetted contacts has a bridging contact armature in a cavity in a sealed container and arranged so that the armature moves at each relay operation to sweep the cavity. The bi-stable relay of Fig. 1 has an armature 4 rockable in a cavity 1 in a glass enclosure 8 provided with magnetic fixed contacts 2a, 2b, 3a, 3b having polarizing permanent magnets arranged so that the armature bridges either contacts 3a and 2b or 2a and 3b. The armature is moved between its stable positions on appropriate energization of a coil 7. In Fig. 2 the armature 14 is a disc which bridges either contacts 12a and 13a or contacts 12b and 13b and is moved rectilinearly therebetween on appropriate energization of the coil 17. Additional magnets (not shown) may make the relay stable in one position only. Any mercury not on the wetted contact areas of the armature or fixed contacts is " gathered up " during armature movement and the relay can be used in any position. The armature 14 may have a hole 14a along its " axis of symmetry."
