Helita,
Paris, France Application April 10, 1951, Serial No. 220,166 In France April 24, 1950 12 Claims.
It is known that the efficacy, that is the extent of the protection zone, of a lightning protector is considerably increased by disposing in proximity to the lightning rod radioactive elements that ionize the surrounding air and augment its conductivity.
To this end the present applicants have namely filed in France the following patents: 736,729- application September 5, 1931, for: Improvements on Lightning and Hail Arresters; 774,954--application September 13, 1933, for: Improvements in Lightning Protectors, Lightning and Hail Arresters; and 82l,0i5-application March 13, 1937, for: Improvements in Radioactive Lightning Protectors and Hall Arresters.
The object of the present invention is to provide an improved radioactive lightning protector. lightning or hail arrester, in which the emission of the particles proceeding from the radioactive element is facilitated by accelerating means analogous to those employed, for example, in cathode ray tubes.
The invention will be best understood by referring to the accompanying drawings which show, by way of example, some embodiments thereof and in which:
' Fig. 1 is a schematic view, in sectional elevation, showing an embodiment of the present invention; Fig. 2 is a plan View corresponding to Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is a schematic view, in sectional elevation, showing a further embodiment of the invention; and
Figs. 4 and 5 illustrate yet a further embodiment of the invention, Fig. 4 being a sectional 3 such for example as porcelain, encompassing the rod I and carrying a radioactive material, for
example imbedded in the enamel with which the said cap-like member is coated.
In order to facilitate or accelerate the emission of the radioactive particles, two preferably annular electrodes 3 and 4, having the form of a cylinder, disc, rim or the like, are disposed above and below the cap 2, round the rod I.
The electrodev 3 is connected with the rod I,
-while the electrode 4 is insulated from this rod and carries members 5 forming collectors of potential.
In case of a storm, when the potential gradient is very high, the potential to ground of electrode 4 can be very high due to the action of collectors 5. Since electrode 3 is grounded, an electrostatic field will result between electrodes 3 and 4. This field is utilized to accelerate and direct the motion of ions in proximity to the layer carried by cap 2 into a conical beam of ions, and therefore of lesser electric resistance, around and beyond the rod.
The metallic parts 6, which connect the annular member 3 with the lightning rod, should have a cross-section as small as possible in order to reduce the percentage of ions captured and neutralized by these parts. To this end, it will be advantageous to arrange these supporting parts 6 under the cap 2, as is shown in Fig. 3.
Figs. 4 and 5 show an embodiment of the invention in which the cap-like member 2 has upset flanges 7 whose peripheral portions are metallized to constitute the annular member 3, the radioactive material being disposed for example as at 8. The metallized flanges 3 are connected with the lightning rod by means of a narrow metallized band 9 disposed below the porcelain member, as is shown in Fig. 5 in which this band is viewed from underneath. The cup-like insulator 2 is provided with drainers l0.
