Title: Improvements in Electrical Mercury Switches Operated by a Vehicle Passing along a Railway.
IPC: B61L1/04
Filed: 1909-07-07
Granted: 1910-01-27
Abstract: 15,854. Siemens Bros. & Co., and Ferreira, L. de M. G. July 7. Mercury switches. - R e l a t e s to mercury switches operated by a vehicle passing along a railway, of the type in which mercury is expelled by a diaphragm acted on by a passing train into a cup where it makes contact with an insulated terminal. To allow the mercury to return rapidly into the main reservoir after the passage of a train, the tube e through which it is forced is provided with a branch passage i provided with a ball valve k the movement of which is limited by a pin v. The main passage e is also preferably provided with a ball valve f at the top. On the passage of a train, mercury is forced up the passage e, closing the valve k, opening the valve f, and overflowing into the cup g, where it bridges the insulated contacts m ; excess mercury overflows into the chamber h. On the pressure being removed, the ball valve f closes the passage e, causing a vacuum to form above the mercury. The difference of pressure in the passage e and chamber h causes the valve k to open, and the mercury flows back into the reservoir. An additional terminal p may be provided for testing when the apparatus is full of mercury. Fluid actuation.-In a modification, Fig. 4, for preventing stray currents from interfering with the action of the switch, the mercury, instead of bridging the iusulated contacts as in Fig. 1, acts upon a float s carrying a contact-piece r which bridges spring contacts q.
