Patent GB-190420129-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Mechanism for use in conjunction with Apparatus for Utilizing Electro-magnetic or "Hertzian" Waves.
Inventor: SMITH MICHAEL HOLROYD
Filed: 1904-09-19
Granted: 1904-12-15
Abstract: 20,129. Smith, M. H. Sept. 19. Signals, electric.-In wireless systems for working signals in which Hertzian waves are utilized, a predetermined and adjustable time interval is secured by the use of the apparatus shown in Figs. 1 and 3, which may be introduced into any suitable part of the receiving or transmitting circuit. A rocking bar G, secured by a soft-iron sleeve E to a loosely-mounted shaft D, supports a pair of electromagnets H, H<1>, the former of which is permanently excited and may be replaced by a permanent magnet. On the arrival of a Hertzian wave from the transmitting-station, the electromagnet H<1> is energized and is drawn towards the sleeve E, causing a stop K on the rocking bar to press upon a metal table A, which is slowly rotated at a constant speed by a Morse instrument &c. actuated by the transmitted energy or otherwise. A n arm N clamped to the shaft D is thus brought into contact with a fixed stop P, which, together with the arm N, is connected by wires to the instruments employed to effect the signal or movement. The time interval is varied by clamping the arm N in different positions on the shaft D, and the set-screws serve for making the final adjustments. In order to return the arm N to its normal position faster than it advances, a metal quadrant I, secured to the rocking bar G, is driven in the reverse direction to the table A by means of pulleys M, M', when the electromagnet H<1> is de À energized, until it is brought to rest by the engagement of a lug R with a fixed stop R'. The rocking bar G may be driven from the table A by the use of one pulley only. The return of the arm N may be aided by a spring S, or it may be effected by the direct action of a spring or weight, the pulleys being thereby dispensed with. The pressure of the rocking bar upon the table A may be adjusted to allow of slip when the bar is brought to rest at either end of its swing, and the stops R, R<1> on the terminals N, P may be shaped as shown in Fig. 4, so as to lift the quadrant out of contact with the pulley M' when they engage. The Provisional Specification states that the time interval may be adjusted by varying the relative sizes of the pulleys M, M<1>.
