Abstract
537,195. Electromagnetic switches; mercury switches. WHIPP & BOURNE Ltd., and WHIPP, F. Feb. 27, 1940, No. 3613. [Class 38 (v)] The pressure between the contacts of an electromagnetic switch is increased, when the switch is subjected to a sudden shock, by the operation of an auxiliary switch also subject to the shock. The auxiliary switch may be a mercury switch, Fig. 3 the mercury in which is adapted to be displaced so as to bridge the gap between a metal casing 16 and a contact 18. The channel between the casing 16 and contact 18 is small so that mercury will flow through it slowly and contact will be maintained for a time. The operation of the auxiliary switch preferably serves to bridge at 15 an economy resistance such as 14 Fig. 2, which is in series with the coil 9 holding the main contacts 11, 12 of the electromagnetic switch closed, thus increasing the holding force. Specifications 214,667, [Class 38 (v)], 521,073, 521,074 and 525,510 are referred to.
