ELECTRIC INCANDESCENT LAMP HAVING SECOND-CLASS CONDUCTORS.
Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed June 28, 1900. Serial No. 21,366.
ing Second-Class Conductors, of which the j following is a specification.
This invention has reference to the em ployment of second-class conductors for electric incandescent lamps in which it is necessary to previously heat the incandescent body to a certain elevated temperature in order to allow the current to pass through the said body. On the other hand, such incandescent bodies required the use of a special resistance in order to prevent their fusion by the action of a current of undue intensity.
Various means, most of which comprised the use of a separate heater, have been devised to effect the elevation of temperature of the second-class conductor. Now it is obvious that representative of a lamp, its circuits, and an electromagnetically-operated switch for automatically changing the circuits.
By my invention the construction ofincandescent lights of this class is greatly simplitied. rials which emit a high degree of heat on the current passing through them and which at the same time when used in the form of threads or wires of a certain length and thickness are creating sufficient resistance for the protection of the light proper. Then, in the second place, my device is so arranged and made up that when the lamp is turned on the heating appliance and the resistance A combined are placed in parallel circuit to the incandescent body B. I thus elevate the temperature of the incandescent body B by the heater A, so that the body B becomes a conductor for the electric current. By then applying a suitable switch the heater Ais put in se ries to the incandescent body B, so that it op crates as a primary resistance for the incan- In the first place, I make use of matedescent body which has already reached a high degree of incandescence and which therefore necessitates the use of a special resistance in order to prevent fusion.
\Vhile I prefer to arrange the heater A in form of a coil around the incandescent body B in order to effect the uniform heating of the said incandescent body, still it is obvious that I may also use other arrangements of the two bodies relatively to each other to suit existing conditions. It is further obvious that I may employ different means to effect the switching of the two bodies constituting the lighting device. Thus I may effect this switching from parallel into series connection, whereby the heating-body becomes only a protecting resistance, either by hand or automatically, by the use of electricity, for instance. In the case of tubular-shaped incandescent bodies I may also arrange the heating-body A at the inside of the said incandescent body. By this arrangement the exterior incandescent tube B acts as a protection against external influences upon the heatingbody therein inclosed.
It is evident that by constructing secondclass incandescent lights in the manner outlined the handling of this kind of devices is greatly simplified and the adaptability of these lights for various technical purposes is greatly enhanced.
In order to also utilize the quantity of electric energy absorbed by the resistance body A, which amounts to about ten per cent. of the total electric energy of the system for the purpose of illumination, I prefer to employ such material for the said resistance and heating body which on the passage of the current will emit a Stronglight by itself. Of the many substances and combinations of substances which on the passage of the current acquire the quality of emitting a powerful light and which at the same time are adaptable for a heating and resistance body combined, carbon in the form of threads or in any other suitable shape or condition has been found very serviceable. In this case the use of the vacuum will become necessary, which, however, does not interfere with the ready adaptability of the system.
When the current is turned on, it will first pass through the heating-body A, as above described, which acts as a heater until the body B becomes a conductor and acquires incandescence. If the current is now switched by means of a small lever C or otherwise, the
\ source of energy for supplying current to a The lamp comprises, essentially, an incandescent body B and a heating-body A, and in Fig. 1 the heating-body A is shown in the {form of a coil around the incandescent body B, the bodies A and Bbe ng shown within a vacuum-chamber F, while in Fig. 2 the incandescent body is shown in the form of a tube B with the heating-body within the same.
In Fig. 1 a hand-switch, as a lever C, and suitable circuits'and contacts are shown for switching the bodies A and B from parallel to series. I/Vhen the lever O is in the position, indicated in full lines, it will be readily seen that the bodies A and B are in circuit in parallel relation to each other, and when the lever C is in the position indicated by dotted lines they are in series relation, the current passing in each case from the source D, according to the arrows, the wires being connected to the contacts.
In Fig. 2 automatic means, as an electromagnetic switch G, are shown for accomplishing the switching from parallel to series, and when the core g is in the position indicated by full lines it will be seen that the bodies A and B are in circuit in parallel to each other; but when the magnet it becomes energized, drawing up the core g to the position indicated by dotted lines, carrying with it the insulated contacts 1 and 2 and contact-piece i, the bodies A and B will be switched into series relation.
