Title: Burglar Alarm.
Inventor: BROMHEAD SAMUEL SIDNEY
Filed: 1904-10-06
Granted: 1905-02-23
Abstract: 21,454. Bromhead, S. S., [American Bank Protection Co.]. Oct. 6. . Alarms, burglar. - Relates to burglar-alarm systems in which an electric circuit is closed by a clock, so that during certain hours the lock of a safe cannot be tampered with nor the bolts withdrawn without sounding a general alarm. The bolts 3 of the safe door 2 are connected to a sliding bar 4 which carries two contact-pieces 8, 9. Four springs 16, 17, 18, 19 mounted on an insulating- block 15 are provided with " offsets " 19<1>, 21 with which the pieces 8, 9 make contact on withdrawing the bolts. The offsets 21 are shorter than the offset 19', and make contact with the pieces 8, 9 only for a brief interval intermediate to the limits of movement of the bolts, while the offset 19<1> makes contact with the piece 8 even when the bolts are completely withdrawn. The hour-hand of the clock is attached to the insulating-disc 32, part of the circumference of which is covered with the metal band 34. A narrow piece of metal 40 is also inserted into the edge of the disc, so that, when this comes under the points of the two springs 30, 31, it rings the " reminder " bell 48 if the door has not yet been locked. The current passes from the spring 16 along wires 41, 42, springs 30, 31, wire 46, bell 48, and the battery A, and thence to the contact-piece 8. If the door has been locked and the clock has entered on the night circuit, so that the springs 30, 31 are in contact with the band 34 and thence with the wire 60, on withdrawing the bolts, the springs 18, 19 are put into contact and the alarm bell 65 sounded. The current passes from the spring 18 along wires 43, 46, spring 31, wire 60, circuit-closer 61, releasing- drop 62, battery B, and the spring 19, and thence by the contact-plate 9 back to the spring 18. The drop 62 makes contact with the piece 63, ringing gong 63 through the battery B. In a similar manner, each spring 16, 17 rings the gong 69. The bell 44, besides serving as reminder bell, is used as a test bell, as is also the bell 48. If the bolts are moved at any time when the clock is out of circuit, the piece 8 engages during the movement with the spring 17, and a current passes along the wires 43, 47, bell 48, rheostat 50, and the battery A, and back ; and similarly from the spring 18, wire 43, bell 44, rheostat 56, battery B, spring 19, and the contact-piece 9, and back. The tumbler-wheel 74 has a slot 76 which receives a pin, secured to the bar 4, and permits the bolts to be withdrawn. Any attempt, while the clock circuit is on, to turn the tumbler wheel to this correct position will cause the piece 83 to drop into one of the slots 75 and so connect, by means of the screw 81 and the plate 82, the two wires 54, 42 and ring the alarm.

A recoil spring H is mounted between washers and secured by the cottar G as shown. The framing may be strengthened b y pressed steel brackets, as shown in Fig. 6, consisting of channelled angle-pieces to which the sockets E are riveted centrally, or to one side if the spring is to be in line with the buffer. In other forms, stiffening-ribs and flanged guiding-holes for the buffer rod are pressed in the plates. Double brackets for use at the centre of the vehicle are pressed from one or more plates with ribs and flanged holes 3, Fig. 13, for the spring sockets. The bolt-holes 1 are flanged to lessen the risk of shearing the bolts. In another form, the ribbed plate 4, Fig. 8, of the bracket is bent and is riveted to the longitudinal member N. For aligned springs and buffers, the brackets are sunk in the framing as shown. The springs may consist of an outer spring B, Fig. 9, and an inner light spring A, which takes up small loads. Under heavy loads, the cup C comes against the short heavy spring B, which then acts also, the combined action being helped by the contact of the inclined fares F of the two springs.
