Granted: 1910-03-24
Abstract: 10,729. Cochrane, W. N. May 6. Electrically-released switches.-For controlling electric lights on a train from one point in the van, the coaches are fitted with switches which are operated and released electromagnetically and are constructed as shown. A vertically movable spindle, carrying brush contacts d and auxiliary sparking-contacts l, is raised by the attraction of an electro-magnet a for an armature b, and closes the circuit across contacts k, l<1>, through which the lamps are fed, for example by two batteries. The switch is retained closed without continuing to energize the electro-magnet a, by means of a pair of pivoted hooked latches e, pressed apart by springs and carried by the upper end of the spindle c. These latches spread apart and catch over grooves in the top plate h of an auxiliary solenoid i. To open the switch, current is sent to the auxiliary solenoid i, which attracts an armature j provided with a sleeve embracing the hooked latches, these being thus pressed together and released from the grooves in the plate h. In the form shown, a second brush d' is adapted to close a circuit across terminals k<1>, putting the two batteries in parallel. This brush may be dispensed with when one battery only is employed.
