Patent GB-189818612-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Railway and other Signalling.
Inventor: BOULT WILFRID SWANWICK
Filed: 1898-08-30
Granted: 1899-07-29
Abstract: 18,612. Boult, W. S., and Boult, C. R. Aug. 30. Signals, electric. - Relates to d e t a i l improvements in the magnetic system of railway &c. signalling described in Specification No. 29,257, A.D. 1897. In the present invention, the bells on the engine are cut out, without interfering with the reception of other signals, by means of the replacing- push shown in Fig. 7, which may also be used in the signalling-circuit of winding-engines in mines &c. The tongue N<6> is pivoted on, and polarized by, the permanent magnet N<4>, and completes the bell circuit with the contact N<8>, which is insulated from the core N<3> of the coils N<5> in the signalling- circuit. When the push N<12> is depressed, the projection N<11>, on a pivoted iron bar controlled by the push, attracts the tongue N<6> to itself, and breaks the bell circuit when the push is released. If another signal is received, even during the replacing operation, the core N<3> pulls the tongue N<6> from the projection N" and again completes the bell circuit. The polarized relays of the engine armatures are constructed as shown in Fig. 9, the needles G being mounted between the two parts G<5> of the bridge-piece of the armature. The parts G<5> have horns G<6>, which project as far as the ends of the needles, the needles and horns being polarized by the permanent magnet G<7> &c. The relay acts by repulsion to close the signalling- circuits between the contacts G<9>, G<6>, this method of control being also applicable to polarized relays for general signalling purposes.

Abstract: 6771. Burton, W. J. March 29. Locks, key; padlocks; latches.-Relates to detector locks and latches, such as door, cupboard, rim, andlike locks, padlocks, and drop latches, latch bolts, and the like for fastening doors, drawers, gates, windows, &c. The bolt b is operated bv a locking-slide c, which is provided with a stump d engaging gates in tumblers pivoted at a<1> and a'. The tumbler g, pivoted at a<4>, has a stump g<3> engaging an angular gate i in an auxiliary tumbler h. When the lock is opened by the proper key, the tumbler h is inoperative, but if, in an attempt to pick the lock, the tumbler g is raised higher than is necessary to free the stump d, the secondary tumbler h is moved by its spring so as to hold the stump g<3> in the notch i<2> and lock the tumbler g, preventing any movement of the slide c The attempt to pick the lock is detected, when the proper key is used, by the fact that the lock is blocked, but it can be reset, so as to be unlocked in a proper manner, by turning the key in the reverse direction so as to turn back the secondary tumbler h, and release the stump g<3> from the notch i<2>, allowing the tumbler g to fall again into the normal position shown in Fig. 1. The other tumblers e, f may be similarly provided with detector mechanism. The application to padlocks is shown in Fig. 9, in which the same reference letters represent similar parts. One of the tumblers c is provided with a foot e<5> which throws out the shackle b by a spring action when the bolt c is withdrawn, the gate in the tumbler e being suitably formed for the purpose.
