Abstract: 8809. Mewburn, J. C., [Hoffmann, B.]. April 6. Telegraphs, printing. Relates to improvements in that class of apparatus described in Specification No. 24,076, A.D. 1894. Fig. 1 diagrammatically shows the apparatus at one station, the keys L, M being depressed for transmitting. At the receiving- station the key M is raised, while, if telephones are to be employed in place of the telegraphic apparatus, both keys are raised, thus connecting the line terminals 17, 31 to the telephone terminals t, t. H are the line battery and I the local battery terminals. The main motor shaft A carries a type-wheel B, escape-wheel C, vibrator-wheel J, and distributer arm D. The distributer brushes a, b are connected to collector rings on the shaft rubbed by brushes e, d respectively. The distributer contacts w, x, y, z of the ring E are connected to the keys of the board G, and these are arranged alternately to open and close the circuit; thus, the depression of a key produces either three consecutive closed keys or three consecutive open circuit keys. The sequence of intermittent currents control the escapement C through the lever f and armature g of the two magnets h, and at the same time prevent the vibrator spring o from closing the contact p in the local circuit. As soon as the sequence is broken by the depression of a key, the local circuit is closed at p, and the printing- magnet K is excited, thus bringing the paper against the type-wheel B. The type-wheel has two sets of characters set alternately, and is provided with two stop-pins and a tripping-device by which either set of characters can be brought to the printing position. The paper is fed between a corrugated roller q and a guide-fork, the roller q being rotated by a ratchet-wheel and fixed spring pawl to produce a feed after printing each sign. The distributer ring F and key 0 are employed in bringing the apparatus to unison at any time ; the key 0, when depressed, reverses the current and brings the leading distributer to a stop at the unison position should the two not then start together a second depression ensures unison. An accessory is described in which the key 0 is provided with a conducting-tip and two extra springs connected to the ring F, and a rotating make and brake operated through half a space by a wiperpawl on the shaft A.

Title: Improvements relating to the Brake Mechanism of Railway Carriages and the like.
Inventor: CHOLODKOWSKY ANDRE
Filed: 1898-09-03
Granted: 1899-07-29
Abstract: 18,872. Cholodkowsky, A. Sept. 3. Brakes.-Relates to apparatus for converting non-automatic vacuum brakes into automatic vacuum brakes, and hand-power brakes into automatic vacuum or compressed-air brakes. The special apparatus includes the cylinder A, Fig. 3, and the valve D, Fig. 6. The cylinder A is divided into two chambers a, a<1> by the piston h, which is pulled down by the spring g. The valve D consists of two spring-actuated valves D<3>, D<4> operated by a special key M, which can hold open either or both of the valves. The chamber a of the cylinder A is connected by the pipe B with the ordinary train-pipe C, and the chamber a' is connected by the pipe E with the train-pipe C and the auxiliary train-pipe G. The driver first closes the cock I and opens the valve H. He also sets the valve D so that the upper valve D<3> is held open, while the other remains closed but in position to act as a non-return valve. He then opens the ejector P, and the air is drawn from both chambers of the cylinder A and from the pipe G. The cock H is then closed, and the cock I opened. Should air be re-admitted to the pipe G, by accident or other cause, it will enter the chamber a<1> and raise the piston h, which, through the rod d and levers L, N, opens the ejector P to exhaust the air in the train-pipe C to cause the operation of the brake cylinders K. Hand-power brakes may be converted by fitting a cylinder A on each carriage. The entrance of atmospheric air into the lower chamber a<1> in the case of vacuum brakes, or of compressed air in the case of compressed-airbrakes, causes the rod d to rise, thereby bringing a pivoted lever into action with an eccentric on the axle, the brake rod of the hand-power brake being. thereby pulled upon and the brakes applied.
