Title: Improvements in Telephone Exchanges
Filed: 1908-11-12
Granted: 1909-03-04
Abstract: 24,330. Siemens Bros. & Co., [Siemens & Halske Akt.-Ges.]. Nov. 12. Telephone systems.-Relates to the supply and control of the ringing-current in exchange telephone systems in which a call is repeated periodically by a slowly-rotating switch until the called subscriber replies. In order that ringing-current may be connected to line immediately the required connexion is made, and without waiting for the slowly-rotating switch to come into action, one or more quicklyoperating switches are adapted to connect the ringing-generator to line at once, and then to transfer its control to the slowly-rotating switch. When the connecting-plug VS is inserted in the calling-jack VK, the relay RER is energized, and connects the negative terminal of the battery B over the contacts 6, 7 to the relay HER, which is energized as soon as it is grounded by the quicklyrotating switch SRE. The relay HER locks-up at the contact 14, and, by closing the contact 11, connects the battery B through contacts 6, 7, 11 to the calling-relay RR, which connects the ring- ing-generator RM to the two sides of the cord circuit. When the contact of the quickly-rotating switch SRA (which is displaced relatively to the switch SRE) earths the relay HAR, the latter locks-up at the contact 29, and, by opening the contact 16 and closing the contact 17, brings the relay RR under the control of the slowly-rotating switch RE. The periodic application of ringing- current continues until the called subscriber removes his receiver, thereby energizing the relay SR<2>, which supplies current to the winding 10 of the relay RAR ; this relay de-energizes the relays RR, HER, HAR by opening the contact 7, and locks-up through the winding 9 and the relay RER until the plug VS is withdrawn. The duration of the initial ringing-current is determined by the angular displacement of the contacts in the switches SRE, SRA.
