To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, LUGIUs J. PHELPs, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of New York, in the county of New -York and Stateof New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Polarized Relays, of which-the following isa specification.

'My invention relates to the construction of relays ofthe class known as polarized relays, and is designed more especially as animprovement upon t-he type'of relay knownjas the Siemens polarized relay. Like thelatter,

- my relay embodies a polarized armature playing vbetween two soft-iron magnet-cores normally polarized, so as to exhibit magnetism of the same sign, and, wound with coils of wire connected'v or applied in such way thatthe current which increases the strength of onepole will 'decrease orreverse Vthe polarity of the` other; but in the manner of charging the elec-.

'tro-magnets and in the-formand mounting,

' Sto., of the armature, andthe construction l and arrangement ofthe various parts,' it em bodies improvements which, among other things, tion, as well-as to the 'stabilityof adjustment. In my improved' relay the electro-magnets are charged, not fromtlie same pole of` the permanent magnet, but from separate poles of 3o a multipolarmagnet having acommon oneentral pole by which the armature' is'charged orma Il etized. I

he armature off position vdirectlynpon ,themass of iron formingits charging-pole, and preferably provided with knife-edge bearings.

The improved details an stitnting my inventioniwill be" moe specific- 40 ally hereinafter 'set out in connection with the accompanying drawings, and will; .thenlbe specified in the claims;

A, F ment, upon which is mounted the magnet or magnets serving to charge the armature, and the two-'electro-maguets B B of the instrument. 'I he electro-magnets B-B'are charged by magnetic contact or contiguity with separate magnet-poles, which poles are preferably the poles of a multipolar magnet, having va common or central pole of .one sign and separateor distinct poles of the opposite sign. Such rnultipolar4 magnet Amay be of steel and have permanentvv magnetism of its own, or it', in ay be kept 'constantly charged by electricity. It may be made in a singlepiece, or it may be compound, or made up of several magnets hav-v ing like poles conjoined to forma common or central pole.
