Abstract

547,173. Mercury switches. WEST & CO., Ltd., A., and BREEZE, V. L. March 10, 1941, No. 3241. [Class 38 (v)] A mercury switch has a rod extending along the path of flow of the mercury to facilitate free movement, the container being of such restricted cross-sectional area that the mercury would, in the absence of such a rod, tend to stick. The rod may be of conductive material and serve as an electrode. In the example an insulating casing 1 closed at one end, carries a metal rod 2 lengthwise, the other end being held in a plug 5 retained by a nut 8. A flanged metal sleeve 4 serves as the other electrode. If the rod is a non-conductor, two metal electrodes are used, for example, in the form of wires extending through one end. The rod may extend only from the end of the wires to the other end.
