Abstract

817,044. Electrically-tripped switches. BRITISH THOMSON-HOUSTON CO. Ltd. Dec. 9, 1957 [Jan. 3, 1957], No. 345/57. Class 38 (5). A high-speed switch comprising an axiallymovable rod 1, carrying a contact bridge 21 co-operating with fixed contacts 22, is latched to the " open " position (as shown) against the upward force of springs 4, 20 by a restraining member 8, axially aligned with the rod 1, and a number of balls 17 confined between the rod 1, the member 8 and a tubular housing 18 having a reduced bore at 19. Thus the restraining force on the member 8, provided by an energized winding 12 coacting with a plunger 10 resiliently connected to the member 8 by a spring 25, need only be a small proportion of the upward force exerted by the springs 4, 20. To close the switch a bucking coil 16, opposing the main coil 12, is energized, thereby freeing the restraining member 8 and allowing the springs to close the contacts. The switch is reset by admitting compressed air to a cylinder 3 to force down a piston 2 fixed to the rod 1. The member 8 is then returned to the position shown by a spring 24.
