Title: Improvements in or relating to control systems for parking garages
Inventor: ROYCE NORMAN JAMES
IPC: G08G1/14
Filed: 1960-11-01
Abstract: 973,644. Vehicle signalling systems for car parks. W. S. ATKINS & PARTNERS. Feb. 1,1962 [Nov. 1, 1960], No. 37494/60. Heading G4Q. A vehicle parking system for controlling the movement of cars in and out of parking bays in a garage comprises a separate indicator for each bay, the indicator circuit and other circuits in the bays being so interconnected that the operation of certain indicators to the "go" position can be prevented. The indicators are green or red-greenyellow traffic lights. The arrangement is such that the two parking bays "downstream" of a bay always have priority e.g. bays P have priority over bay M. Operation of circuit with respect to bay M. The attendant switches control switch 55 to 56 to energize conductor A and filament R 1  of the red lamp R. A small magnet SM is also energized. If bay switch SS has not been closed by the driver to indicate that he wants to leave the bay, a large magnet LM will be de-energized and C 1  C 3  engaged. Switch 55 is now switched to 57 which deenergizes conductor A and energizes conductors B, C, to light filament R 2 . If switch SS was closed, magnet LM will be energized and C 1 , C 4  and C 2 , C 5  engaged and in position 57 of switch 55 lamps G, Y will both be lit and the red lamp go out. In position 58 of switch 55 the lamp Y goes out. Coil SSW connected to the green G resets switch SS. Operation of a switch SS of a bay e.g. P having priority is closed. One winding CRW will be energized and relay CR will open thereby de-energizing LM and moving armature SA back so that C 1  again energizes C 3 . The order given by switch SS of M is therefore interrupted and the red lamp for that bay will remain alight. The closure of any switch bay SS has no influence upon the relays CR of bays upstream. A modification using semi-conductor gates and stores is described (Fig. 3, not shown), and the system may be completely automatic, in which case photo-electric cells are placed in the aisle 52, or in each bay to count how many bays are empty. Specification 973,645 is referred to.

Abstract: 942,210. Coin-freed vending apparatus. C. F. TAYLOR (METAL WORKERS) Ltd. Jan. 16, 1962 [Nov. 2, 1960], No. 37655/60. Heading G4V. Coins inserted in a vending machine selling a range of articles are held in suspense at the foot of a hopper 2 by a platform 7 on a sliding tray 5 and by movement of the tray forward or backward the coins fall through an "accept" shoot 9 to a coin-receiving box or through a "return" chute 8 to the customer. When the machine is switched on, a solenoid 10 is energized and a straight link 12 moves the tray against the action of a spring 6 so that the platform 7 blocks the foot of the hopper and when an article is selected of a value not exceeding the total credit established by coins that have been inserted a second solenoid 11 is energized and, through a bent link 13, moves the tray further against the spring loading to bring the "accept" shoot 9 below the hopper. If, however, the customer presses a coinreturn button, or selects an article of a value exceeding the credit, the first solenoid 10 is de-energized and the spring 6 moves the tray so that the "return" shoot 8 registers with the bottom of the hopper.
