Abstract: 6116. Hildebrand, W., and Knorr Bremse Akt.-Ges. March 11. Combinations of interdependent valves; rotary or oscillating disk valves.-The rotary-disk driver's pneumatic brake valve 2 which is operated by a handle 5, is fitted with an auxiliary valve 6, which is actuated bv a handle 9 and controls a passage c leading to the seat of the main valve, shown in Fig. 2, for operating the switch contacts of the alternative electrical control of the brakes. The ports f, g in the valve seat communicate by pipes 10, 11, Fig. 1, with the operating-cylinders 12, 13, of the switch contacts controlling other valves 22 for release and valves 20 for application of the brakes. The air from the main-reservoir con. nexion a has access to the valve casing 3 by a groove b in the valve seat, which is also formed with grooves h, i and the usual pneumatic ports A, B, H. The valve 2 is formed with the usual cavity k, Fig. 3, and with an additional cavity d. When the main valve is in position I, Fig. 2, the cavity k connects the ports B, H for the usual pneumatic release and at the same time the cavity d connects the port f with the grooves h, through which air passes to the cylinder 12, providing electric release. In the position II, the cavity d connects the ports c, f, and electric release only is obtained when the valve 6 is opened. With the valve in position III, all the ports are lapped, rendering the operation of the valve 6 ineffective. In position IV, the ports c, g are connected by the cavity d, and electric application is obtained by opening the valve 6. Lastly. with the valve in position V, both electric and pneumatic application of the brakes is effected. The air in the cylinders 12, 13 escapes, after an electric operation, either by a small opening e, Fig. 1, leading from the conduit c, or by an orifice in the valve 6. The auxiliary valve may be made in the form of a slide valve, and in one with the main valve 2.

Granted: 1914-01-29
Abstract: 3462. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.] Feb. 10. Automatic circuit-breakers; electro-magnetic switches. - Remote - control electromagnetic switches, of the kind which are automatically opened upon overload, are provided with an actuating-winding for closing the switch and maintaining it closed against the action of gravity, and with an overload coil which is adapted first to open-circuit the actuating coil and then assist gravity in opening the switch. The invention is described as applied in a motor control switch. A shunt winding 13, put into circuit by the motor controller C reaching a finger 28, lifts a core 14 attached to the pivoted contact member 10, which completes the power circuit of the motor A and also throws in a series or overload winding 16 having a core 17 attached below the contact member 10. If an overload occurs, the coil 16 first attracts a pivoted armature 18, separating contacts 20, 21 in line with the shunt winding 13, and afterwards, in conjunction with gravity, pulls the switch 10 open by attracting the core 17. A spring catch 24 holds up the armature 18 and thus prevents the contacts 20, 21 in the circuit of the resetting winding 13 from being closed, until an unlatching magnet 26 has been excited by closing a switch 27. Means may be added for making the withdrawal of the latch conditional upon the previous return of the controller C to the off position.
