Abstract: 15,569. Telephon Apparat Fabrik E. Zwietusch & Co. July 5, 1910, [Convention date.] Impulse transmitters for automatic exchange systems. In an impulse-sender having several number segments which are returned to their normal positions in succession, the segments are connected to the driving-shaft by means of ratchet couplings, the pawls of which are relatively staggered so that each segment does not commence its return movement until the previous one has finished its motion. The segments 1, provided with handles 3, are secured to disks 21 mounted loosely on a shaft 2 to which are secured rigidly a number of arms 18 carrying pawls 19 adapted to engage notches 22 in the disks 21. The segments 1 are provided with lateral notches 4 which oscillate bars 6 during the setting and returning of the segments, the bars 6 acting on a common bar 8 controlling the impulse-springs 2. During the setting of the segments, the exchange circuit is opened by a contact controlled by the handle 14 that winds the driving-spring, so that the operation of the contacts 2 is ineffective. As each segment reaches normal, a pin 33 thereon oscillates a common bar 32 and opens a " switch- " ing " contact 31 so as to effect the necessary change of connexions in the exchange apparatus. Centrifugal braking-mechanism acts during the return of the segments only. In a modified apparatus, the segments are provided with radial teeth which engage levers acting on a common rocking arm, and the "switching"- impulses are sent after the return of each segment by projections on a disk secured to the driving-shaft, which projections act on the contact spring through a pivoted trigger-device whereby the contact is closed during the return movement of the shaft only.
