(under subclass 327) Systems wherein the discharge device is
mounted so that it can be tilted, and one of the electrodes is either a liquid or movably mounted so that when the discharge device is tilted the electrodes are brought into physical contact with each other, and when the device is restored to its operating position, the discharge is drawn between the electrodes.
(1) Note. This subclass includes patents wherein the only significant support structure for the discharge device claimed is that which is provided so that the discharge device may be tilted for starting. Where more of the discharge device support structure is claimed than that necessary for mounting the discharge device so that it can be tilted during starting, the patent is excluded from this subclass even though the system is claimed.
