Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
Filed: 1898-03-26
Granted: 1899-03-25
Abstract: 7367. Boult, A. J., [Antwerp Telephone and Electrical Works]. March 26. Indicators or annunciators.- An indicator for telephone stations &c. consists of a core N with two coils X, Z and two pivoted armatures S, 0, the whole being carried in a suitable casing G. The coil X is in the subscriber's circuit, the effect of a call being to attract the armature 0, an ebonite block Q on an arm on the armature causing a local battery circuit to be completed through contacts A, B. This circuit includes the coil Z, causing the core to be further energized to attract the armature S towards a projection u on the core, raising a flap V to disclose a number on the piece P. The armature also completes a night call or indicator circuit by bringing a rod t into contact with a rod T. The local circuit is broken by the operator to restore the parts. Projections or screws r, R' of gunmetal &c. prevent the armature from adhering to the core. The contacts A, B are made of long flexible strips, and have a slight relative sliding motion when bent downwards, ensuring the contacts being kept clean.

Abstract: 322. Taylor, D. Jan. 6. Lubricators; cooling bearings.- A lubricator is so arranged that the flow of oil is regulated by the temperature of the bearings. The oil cup E is provided with a stopper L, through which passes a pipe H connected to an air chamber D, communication between the pipe and chamber being established by an opening M. The pipe H opens out into the air space G above the lubricant in the cup E, and it may be provided with a non- return valve, to prevent the entry of oil into the pipe, or it may be given a double turn as shown. A non-return valve may be fitted to the chamber D to admit air, and a passage, closed by a stopper N, is provided for expelling oil from the chamber. The oil passes from the cup E down the needle &c. J to the bearing F. The chamber D is placed close to the bearing. Should the bearing become heated, the heat is transmitted to the air in the chamber, and the expansion of the air increases the pressure above the oil, so as to force out more lubricant and thus cool the bearing. According to the Provisional Specification, the pipe H may be surrounded by an air space, or it may pass from the chamber to the space above the oil outside the lubricator.
