Title: Improvements in Automatic Block Signalling Systems for Railways.
Inventor: WIGHT SEDGWICK NORTH
IPC: B61L23/22
Filed: 1914-05-13
Granted: 1915-05-13
Abstract: 11,803. Wight, S. N. May 13. E l e c t r i c a l systems, a u t o m a t i c. - In a normal'- danger automatic electric system, a main section and a clearing-section are each provided with a track relay, and a control relay is controlled jointly by the two track relays so as not to be energized by the entrance of a train on to the clearing-section in the direction of traffic governed by the signal, but is energized by a train passing on to the clearing - section from the block, so as to break the signal circuit. The signal circuit is controlled by the track relay of the clearing-section and by the control relay. The invention is a specific form of that described in Specification 11,801/14. Fig. 2 shows part of a track section which is divided into a number of subsections, of which C is at the end of the block which extends to the right of the Figure. A train entering this block in the direction of the arrow X passes on to the clearing-section A and de-energizes the relay 30, thereby closing the circuit of the operating- mechanism of the signal 8 through contacts 39, 33, 35. When relay 31 is de-energized, this circuit is broken, and the signal returns to danger. If the train approaches on the section C in the direction of the arrow Y, the relay 31 is de-energized first, and as the train bridges the insulating-joints 15, the relay 30 is also deenergized, and a circuit is made from battery 36 through contacts 32, 34 and the magnet 37, which is energized and closes a holding-circuit through its armature 38 and opens the signaloperating circuit at the armature 39. The relay 37 is de-energized only when the relay 30 is again excited after the train has cleared section A.
