ln llig. 5, l have shown more in detail the circuit arrangements where a push button 29 is designed to close circuit from battery 30 through both of the coils 19 and 20, which. coils are connected in parallel. 'llhe circuit passes through the springs 25 and 26 and as the element 27 actuates the spring 25, this circuit is broken so that the armature 1l may vibrate as well understood. These two coils are connected in parallel because the high resistance iine wire winding 2() may then discharge the current due to a break in the circuit through the low resistance winding i9, to thereby prevent arcing at the contacts provided between the springs 25 and 26.
llt will be seen that a very compact structure is provided. tor mounting the moving parts oit the devie and a highly ecient magnetic circuit results due to this arrangemento Furthermore the striker is actuated in a manner which secures uniform edect and a very even tone results more or less independent of the battery strength within reasonable limits. v
