Title: Improvements in and relating to route setting systems for railway and like tracks
IPC: B61L19/06
Filed: 1954-08-04
Abstract: 793,945. Railway route-setting equipment. SOC. TECHNIQUE POUR L'INDUSTRIE NOUVELLE SOC. ANON. STIN. Aug. 4, 1954 [Aug. 5, 1953], No. 22668/54. Class 105. In a railway route-setting system of the kind in which the route-locking relays are included in a unitary network comprising control members such as contacts operable under the control of the points to indicate whether said points are in the reverse or normal position, the circuit diagram of the network simulating the track layout with the operating current following a path simulating the corresponding route, at least two such similar unitary networks, each controlling one specific function in the routesetting operation such as points control or signal setting, are interconnected to form an integrated network which lies between at least two feed terminals and includes controlling means, such as a section relay, controlling the operation of the route-locking relays, any point on one unitary network being connected to the corresponding point on one of the other unitary networks by intercouplings or cross-connections, at least one of which comprises additional circuit components such as relay coils. These relay coils may be of the multi-winding type connected in such manner that one winding lies in one unitary network and another in another unitary network so that various inter-actions between the coils may be obtained resulting in various operating conditions of the relays. Furthermore, polarized relays may be used. The unitary networks 01, 02, Fig. 5e, contain contacts W11+, W12-, W21+ and W22-, &c., in circuits simulating the track layout shown in the control board diagram, Fig. 5a. The +W contacts indicate the normal position and the -W contacts the reverse position of the corresponding points W1, W2. Contacts a1 and b1 of entrance-exit route locking relays whose windings are contained in another unitary network (not shown) control the route section relays I<SP>*</SP> and II*. The contacts determine the polarity of the network feeds. For example, with points W1 reversed, contact W11+ is opened and W12- is closed and a current path exists from the - battery terminal through locking relay contact a1, contact W12-, winding I*, contacts W16-, gl ¢, W25-, W26-, gl 1 to positive battery. Thus the relay I* will only operate if the track points have taken up the appropriate position for the route and these relays on operation control the operation of the route locking relays by contacts included in the energizing circuits of those relays. A route from signal A to branch line Gl1 with points W1 and W2 reversed can take place without the intermediate section Gl¢ having to be built up separately, the route section relay II* being energized over contacts al, W12-, W13-, b1, W22-, winding of relay II*. contacts W26-, gl1.

Title: Improvements in or relating to fluid control apparatus
IPC: F16K31/04
Filed: 1944-11-17
Abstract: 585,771. Valves. BABCOCK & WILCOX, Ltd., GLINN, R. J., and HANDOLL, P. G. Nov. 17, 1944, No. 22828. [Class 135] Main and byepass valves 3, 6 controlling the flow of fluid from an inlet 12 to an outlet 13 are actuated by a source of power such as an electric motor 76 through a cam-shaft 43 having cams 37, 40 and rocker arms 39, 42. The motor drives through a speed-reducing.gear 77 and a clutch 78 on to a spur-wheel 46 secured to the cam-shaft 43 to give a desired sequence of operations of the two valves determined by the cams 37 and 40. The sequence of operations is preferably such that the byepass valve is first opened and the main valve commences to open when the byepass is in its fully-opened position. As the main valve reaches its fullyopen position, the byepass valve closes. The cams are so shaped and clearances are provided between the cams and their tappets so that a certain freedom of movement of the power device is allowed whilst the valves remain in their full open and closed positions. Three stop switches 83, 84 and 85 for controlling the motor 76 are positioned on the casing 70 of the spur gear 46 and operated by a face cam 125 secured to the gear 46 so as to stop the motor automatically in the valve's closed position, the byepass open position and the main valve open position. A suitable controller is used to control the operation of the motor to effect the desired actuation of the valves in conjunction with the stop switches 83, 84 and 85. The apparatus is particularly adapted for use in steam blowers for cleaning the heating surfaces of steam generators, the byepass valve supplying a small amount of steam for heating the piping leading to the blowers to avoid excessive condensation at the commencement of the blowing operation for which the steam is supplied through the main valve.

Abstract: 171,454. Anderson, H. P. H. Aug. 10, 1920. Operating doors hydraulically and by screw-and-nut mechanism.-When hydraulic power is in use to move a piston - operated bulkhead door the hand-gear is non-operative, but should the pressure fluid be cut off or fail the halves of a nut carried by the door are automatically brought into engagement with a screwed shaft for manually operating the door. The fluid pressure is admitted from one of the mains 17, 18 through a local hand-operated valve control device 1 to the cylinders 23, 24 containing respectively pistons 46, 44 having piston-rods 26, 27 attached to the upper ends by bracket members 26<1> to the door 25. On the door is mounted a casing containing the halves 30 of a nut, which are forced apart against the action of springs 31 by a lever 32 while the door is operable hydraulically. In the valve casing 1 are pistons 8, 10, the rods 7 of which are secured to a hand-lever 12. By adjusting this lever, the pistons are operated so that the pressure and exhaust mains 17, 18 communicate through suitable ports and passages in the valve casting, and the pipes 21, 22, with the upper and lower sides of the pistons, thus operating the door. The piston-rods are tubular, the rod 26 having an orifice 45 on the upper side of the piston 46, the piston-rod 27 communicating with the lower side of the piston 44, as shown. Fluid pressure thus passes either from the upper or lower side respectively of the. pistons 46, 44 through pipes 42 or 43 to act on one or other of the piston members 37. These pistons are arranged on either side of a lever 36, which is connected to the arm 32 arranged between the halves 30 of the nut for engaging the shaft 28, by means of which the door is manually operable. By this arrangement, when fluid pressure is acting to move or maintain the door in the open or closed position, the lever 36 is operated by one or other of the piston members 37 to keep the handgear for the door non-operable, but when the pressure fails or is cut off the pressure under the sides of the pistons 37 is equalized through a passage 38, and the springs then move the parts 30 of the cut into engagement with the shaft 28.
