Abstract
533,016. Discharge lamps. SIEMENS ELECTRIC LAMPS & SUPPLIES, Ltd., ALDINGTON, J. N., and ASKEW, J. E. July 4, 1939, Nos. 19443/39 and 412/40. [Class 39 (i)] [Also in Group XXXVII] The method of starting a discharge lamp consisting in including in series with it a choke which also acts as an electromagnet to operate a switch which breaks a heating-circuit for the electrodes including the choke is applied to lamps in which the electrodes are connected in series so as to be both heated for starting by the current, this necessitates enclosing the switch in an envelope which does not contain air, it may be exhausted or contain oil or a'neutral gas. The invention is especially applicable to lamps of 1 metre and over in length. The switch may comprise a loose bar forming the armature of the choke magnet and bridging two mercury contacts or the armature may be carried on a leaf spring which carries or operates the contact. Fig. 5 shows an arrangement of the latter sort with provision for slight delay in the separation of the contacts. The armature 17 is mounted on a leaf spring 40 carrying a hook 19 arranged to engage a wire 22 after the armature has moved a certain distance. The wire 22 is mounted on a leaf spring 21 and makes contact with a wire 25.
