314 /   HD   ELECTRIC LAMP AND DISCHARGE DEVICES: CONSUMABLE ELECTRODES

20WTH DISCHARGE-DEFLECTING MEANS


DEFINITION

Classification: 314/20

(under the class definition) Subject matter provided with means for deflecting the electric discharge which is formed between the electrodes from the path the discharge would normally occupy in the absence of the deflecting means.

(1) Note. In most of the patents in this subclass an electromagnet is positioned adjacent the discharge area between the electrodes, and the magnetic lines of force of the electromagnet cause the discharge to be deflected from the path the discharge would occupy in the absence of the electromagnet, but this subclass also includes patents wherein the deflecting means is means for directing a jet of gas towards the discharge, or other means for deflecting the discharge.
