Patent GB-190621164-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in, or relating to, Electric Signalling Apparatus
Filed: 1906-09-24
Granted: 1907-06-13
Abstract: 21,164. relten & Guilleaume-Lahmeyerwerke Akt.-Ges. Sept. 22, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Order apparatus.-Relates to electric order apparatus for signalling in mines, ships, &c. in which the various orders are given by currents of different frequencies which act on tunedsprings or other resonant bodies at the receiving-station. The signals may be repeated at the receiving-station back to the sending-station. Fig 1 shows a system for sending five orders, the generator G comprising five iron wheels 1 ... 5, with different numbers of teeth and rotating on the same shaft in front of permanent magnets wound with coils 6 ... 10. The sending and receiving stations C, D are each provided with two combs 11 ... 14, each having five tuned springs 15 ... 19 corresponding to the five orders, the combs being influenced by the magnets 20 ... 23, respectively. To transmit any order, the operator at C closes the switch 32 corresponding to that order, thus completing a circuit through magnets 21, 23 and the generator coil 8. Magnets 21, 23 cause the corresponding springs 17 on the combs 12, 14 to respond. In order to acknowledge the order, the operator at station D closes the switch 32, completing the circuit of the generator 8 through the magnets 20, 22, thus vibrating the springs 17 on the combs 11, 13. The switches 32 are preferably constructed so as to remain in their depressed positions until another switch of the same set is depressed. The closing of each switch may complete the circuit of a bell at the receiving- station. In a modified system, the combs and switches at each station are divided into two or more parts, each part being provided with a magnet such as 20. This reduces the necessary number of generator coils. The Specification in the original form as published under the Act of 1901 comprises also the application to railway signalling systems. This subject-matter does not appear in the Complete Specification as accepted.

Granted: 1907-08-08
Abstract: 29,420. Jones, S. F. Dec. 24. Telegraphs.-Pneumatically-operated automatic transmitters of the Wheatstone type, controlled by a perforated tape, are constructed as follows :-A switch arm 46, movable between two earthed stops 40, 41 and two stops 43, 44 which are connected to the line j, is operated by a piston 51 movable in a cylinder d under the pressure of compressed air, the admission of which is controlled by the prepared tape. The leads from the battery are connected to insulated contacts on the arm 46, thus sending opposite currents to line as the arm oscillates. The cylinder is provided with two inlet passages 70, 71, which are arranged opposite outlet passages 74, 75 by which the air escapes through a plug 76 to the exhaust pipe 77. An air chamber situated beneath the cylinder has air passages 72, 73 arranged opposite to the passages 70, 71, Fig. 4, the prepared tape passing through a slot 79 between them.

Patent GB-190702750-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Motor Starting Switches
Inventor: ZWEIGBERGK THORSTEN VON
Filed: 1907-02-04
Granted: 1908-02-04
Abstract: 2750. Zweig-bergrk, T. von. May 21, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Switches; cut - outs. -.Relates to. the motor starting-switch described in Specification No. 8279, A.D. 1903, and consists in an arrangement of mechanism whereby the main circuit can be closed without altering the position of the resistance sector. The resistance brush 16 is carried by a sector 12 mounted on pin 11. The inner end of the sector is forked, and in the fork are mounted an arm 40 and an arm 30, the latter carrying the main contact brush 31 and an auxiliary spring- contact finger 32. The sector 12 is provided with teeth, which are curved as shown to correspond with the curve of the shank of the handle 15, a single projection 14, carried by the handle, engaging the recesses between the teeth. The sector is thus moved one step, i.e. the brush 16 is carried from one stud 18 to the next, for each revolution of the handle. The arm carrying the brush 31 and finger 32 is forked at its inner end, and carries a coiled spring 35, which tends to keep the contacts away from the main contact 50. The arm 40 is controlled by a spring 42, mounted in the sector 12 and engaging a lug 44, and carries pin which engages a slot 46 in the arm 30. To close the main switch, the handle is turned anti-clockwise, causing the curved piece 49 to press the arm 40 downwards against the action of the spring 42 without moving the sector 12. The pin is thus caused to lift the brush 31 and finger 32 into engagement with the main contact 50, where they are retained by the hold-on magnet 60. The handle is then turned in a clockwise direction to cut out resistance step by step, the arm 40 being carried upwards with the sector and clear of the part 49, owing to the action of the spring 42. A push-button 80, a segmental contact 17, and an additional contact finger 29 on the switch, normally complete a short-circuit around the hold-on coil 60. While switching on, therefore, the button 80 must be continuously pressed to break the short circuit, so that the coil 60 may become energized and hold on the main switch-arm 30 When the switch is brought into its final position and all resistance is cut out, the finger 29 engages with an idle stud 19 and opens the circuit of the push button 80, which may then be' released without the hold on magnet 80 becoming short-circuited. A blow-out of the type described in Specification No. 18,652, A.D. 1901, is provided. It consists of a core 51 wound spirally with a copper strip 55, and an intervening strip 56 of insulation, all mounted between insulating plates 53, 54 and iron ptates 52, 57. The final turn of the copper strip is secured to a brass block 58, to which the terminal plate 50 is bolted. The blow out also serves as an overload cut out for the plates 67, 52 which are provid ed with pole pieces 70, 71, attract an armature 73 in the case of an overload, and cause the spring 77 to short circuit the hold-ma agnet at the contact 78.
