Title: Improved Means for Automatically Stopping Two Approaching Railway Vehicles, or Trains.
Inventor: ROZIC VICTOR
IPC: B61L3/18
Filed: 1911-06-02
Granted: 1911-08-03
Abstract: 13,333. Rozic, V. June 2. Electrical systems, automatic; track apparatus for stopping trains.-Sources of current and electromagnetically - operated devices for actuating the brake mechanism and cutting-off steam are carried on each train together with a special vibratory contact in which the vibrations are caused by the movements of the trains. The circuits containing. this apparatus are completed through track conductors and contact shoes, the train wheels and ordinary rails forming return paths to apply the brakes and cut off steam when two trains approach within dangerous limits. The track conductors are laid in overlapping sections or may be continuous, and the arrangement of track conductors at crossings and points is described. The vibratory contact comprises a plate 1, Fig. 1, fixed at one end to a block 3 and carrying a weight 6 at the other end. The plate 1 vibrates between two adjustable contact screws 4, 5 and is assisted by two adjustable springs 7, 8. When a magnet 40 is energized, its armature 36 pivoted at 37 is attracted, and a stop 33 is moved away from a block 19, which is then moved by a spring 13 to apply the brakes and cut off steam by a connexion 25. If two trains I, II, Fig. 2, approach so that connexion is made between their contact shoes g through contact rails 27, 28, contact will at some time (since the vibratory spring contacts are arranged to have different times of vibration) be made from the current source D on the train I through the wire s, contact screw 5, wire k, the contact shoes g and track contacts to the wire k on train II, screw contact 4, wires r, e, magnet E, wire z, the ordinary wheels and rails to the train I, wire z, and magnet E, back to the current source D. The magnets E on both trains are thus energized and the trains thereby stopped.
