Title: Improvements in Selectors for Automatic Telphone Exchanges.
Filed: 1908-09-14
Granted: 1909-03-04
Abstract: 19,309. Siemens Bros. & Co., [Siemens & Halske Akt.-Ges.]. Sept. 14. Switches.-In a selector for automatic exchange telephone systems, the use of a separate releasemagnet is avoided by a construction of selector in which the armature of the vertical-feed magnet is mechanically connected to the detent pawl of the horizontal, or rotary-feed magnet. Fig. 1 shows a selector having its contacts arranged on a flat panel. The wipers w<1>, w<2>, w<3> are moved vertically by the rack a and pawl c, and horizontally by the rack p and pawl o. The detent-pawl s is connected by the rod n to the armature lever e of the magnet b. When the wiperhave been raised to the required horizontal row and have been moved one step into thetesting-position, the rack a moves the curved detent h from engagement with a lug x<2> on the lever x, which is then pulled upwards by the spring y until the lug engages a catch x<1>. The lug x' then prevents the return of the detent h to its normal position, and further horizontal movement of the rack clears it of the detent. In moving backwards, the detent pushes back the pawl c, so that the rack a is free to return to its zero position whenever it is no longer held up by the engagement of the wipers with the fixed contacts. When the required row has been selected, the armature b<1> remains in its attracted position, thus bringing the detent s into operative relation with the rack p, which can now be moved by the pawl o. When the conversation is over, the magnet b is de-energized, thus withdrawing the detent s which presses back the pawl o so that the rack p is drawn back by the spring v<1>, and, when the wipers are free of the fixed contacts, the rack a descends by its own weight or under the action of a spring. The lug z depresses the lever x, releasing the detent h and pawl c, which again engage the rack a. The invention is also applicable to selectors having cylindrically or spherically-arranged contacts.
