Granted: 1912-05-30
Abstract: 25,224. Braam, J. P. van. Feb. 9, [Convention date]. Track apparatus actuating signals on trains. -In apparatus of the kind in which a track ramp operates engine apparatus to signal the proximity of a ' danger ' signal, one portion of the engine apparatus is carried on a part of the vehicle not supported by springs, and is connected by an automatic coupling-device to the apparatus giving the signal. Relative motion of the parts is thus normally obtained, but, when the track ramp operates the engine apparatus, the coupling comes into action to give the cab signal. The track ramp operates either of two arms a fixed to a shaft c, which is carried by a frame b fixed to a part of the vehicle, such as the axle-box, not supported by springs. Projecting arms on the shaft c engage slotted arms d to pull down a rod e in either direction of travel of the engine. The upper part of the rod e carries two pivoted tongs k normally kept apart by a wedge m fixed to a sleeve o, which, through a device f fixed on a spring-supported part of the vehicle, operates the cab signal in any way. Relative motion is thus possible between the rod e, and its sleeve o, but on operation by the track ramp to pull down the rod e, the tongs k are withdrawn from the wedge m, and a spring n forces the tongs k into coupling engagement with the sleeve o. The rod e and sleeve o then move together to operate the cab signal.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Thermostats.
Inventor: GRUNDY HERBERT HAMILTON
IPC: H01H37/52
Filed: 1912-03-02
Granted: 1913-03-03
Abstract: 5311. Grundy, H. H. March 2. Thermal switches consist of a number of bimetallic strips fixed together at one end and splayed at the other end so that a change in temperature causes the strips to bend and operate the switch. In the arrangement shown in front and side view in Figs. 1 and 2, bimetallic strips a<1> are secured at one end to a holder a<2> pivoted at a<3> to the frame, the other ends being separated by distance-pieces a<8>, and connected by a flexible coupling with a finger a<5> engaging with a slot on a rocking arm a<6>. The flexible coupling may be obtained by cutting away the ends a<7> of the strips, or by securing narrow strips to the ends. The rocking arm carries contact arms b<2> dipping into mercury cups, and is fitted with an overbalancing weight such as a tube b<4> containing a material or liquid such as mercury; or the arm may carry a mercury switch consisting of one or more tubes containing mercury and fitted with contacts. A slight movement of the finger causes the arm to overbalance, the walls of the slot being so formed that the finger is then free to continue its movement. The finger, when moved in the opposite direction, engages with the slot so as to bring the arm back to its normal position. The apparatus is set for operation at any desired temperature by means of a pointer c<2>, pivoted to the frame and moving over a scale, the lower end being forked to engage with a pin c<4> fixed to the frame a<2> carrying the strips. Any movement of the pointer from the central position causes the lower end of the strips to be raised, thus compensating for the shortening of the strips with change of temperature, and avoiding locking of the finger in the slot. In the modification shown in Fig. 4, the strips e<5> are secured at one end to pivoted plate e<1> provided with a pointer e<2>, and the other ends are fitted with pins e<6> engaging between the teeth of a comb or slotted plate e<7> which is carried by a pivoted frame e<8>. A finger f secured to the frame engages with a slot formed on a rocking arm f<2> which is fitted with an overbalancing tube. A second rocking arm f<4> is actuated by the arm f<2>, and carries an overbalancing tube and contacts f<5> dipping into mercury cups. The frame carrying the strips may be fixed and the finger may be adjustable so as to allow of setting.

Title: Improved Calling or Alarm Apparatus for use in Wireless Signalling.
IPC: H04W88/02
Filed: 1913-06-05
Granted: 1914-06-04
Abstract: 13,065. Ditcham, W. T., and Grindell- Matthews Wireless Telephone Syndicate. June 5. Electric selectors. - In calling-apparatus for wireless svstems in which a station is called bv a dash of predetermined duration, the dash signal is arranged to cause a column of mercury to rise or tilt to close the signal contacts. With the apparatus shown in Fig. 1 the beginning of the dash opens the cock a' and closes the cock a<2>, so that mercury flows from the container b into the tube a. When the ordinary Morse dash has been exceeded, the contacts 1, 1<a> are connected by the mercury, but the winding c<1> of the magnet e has not a sufficient number of turns to actuate the armature g. The mercury reaches the contact 2 just before the dash for which the station is arranged has been completed, and the other winding e<2> of the magnet c is energized over this contact. The armature g is now attracted and the switch h is tilted, but this switch has a retarded action so that the contacts h<1>, h<2> are not closed immediately. When the dash is of the proper length for this station, the cocks a', a<2> are opened after the contact 2 is passed, and the mercury flows out of the tube a. The armature g however is held attracted by the windings e<1> so long as the contacts 1, 1<a> are covered, and this affords enough time for the contacts h, h<2> to be closed and the bell j rung. When the dash is of longer duration, the contact 3 is reached by the mercury hefore the contacts h<1>, h<2> are closed, thus energizing the winding k<2> and opening the circuit of the bell. The armature l is held attracted by the winding k<1> so that the bell j is not rung during the fall of the mercury. A dash of longer duration than that of any of the station-calling dashes causes the mercury to reach the contact 4 and give a general alarm signal. The mercury may be returned to the bowl b by a pump, or the arrangement shown in Fig. 5 may be used. When the mercurv in the lower bulb m connects the contacts o, the magnet g is energized and inverts the column and bulbs. The mercury flows along the tube n into the bulb b, the circuit of the magnet g remaining closed so long as the flowing mercury connects the contacts o<1>. When the flow ceases and the magnet q is de-energized the column is returned to the position shown by the spring t. The switch h consists of a pair of glass hulbs connected by a constricted neck. The contacts h<1>, h<2> are connected when sufficient mercury has passed through the neck to cover them. The mercury may be caused to rise in the tube by expansion due to heat.

Inventor: DAY GERALD ST JOHN
IPC: H01R33/46
Filed: 1913-07-03
Granted: 1914-04-02
Abstract: 15,318. Day, G. St. J. July 3. Holders. - Means are provided for interrupting the circuit at one or more places between the leads and the opposing contact surfaces, the circuit being closed by the combined action of inserting the lamp, or the like, and the movement of an adjustable member; coupling or uncoupling is only possible when the contacts are dead. In the lamp-holder shown in Fig. 1, an insulating-block a carries two spring-plunger contacts, each having a metal or other conducting - section b<1> and an insulating - section b. Each plunger slides on a metal rod f integral with a central disk f<1>, which forms an abutment for the actuating- spring b<2>. The upper part of the rod f engages a slidable piece having a conducting - section c<1>, provided with a nut c<2> for clamping one supply wire, and an insulating-section c, the piece being pressed by a spring c<3> which is stronger than the spring b<2>, so that when the lamp is inserted, the rod f engages the section b<1> only and the circuit is not closed until the section c<1> is pressed against the top of the rod and the lamp locked by means of a nut d threaded into the holder. In a modification shown in Fig. 4, having a separate adjustment for each plunger, one plunger is housed in a sleeve a<1>, for example of metal, and carries a metal stem h<1> adapted to engage an adjustable contact screw k threaded into the block a; the other plunger has a tubular part n<1> which slides on an insulating-stem m<1> on a contact screw m adapted to abut against the part n<1>, or this arrangement may be reversed. In a further modification, the holder is provided with two insulating-blocks separated by a spring, two contacts on the upper block being pressed against corresponding contacts on the lower by an external cam-ring which is rotatable on the holder and engages cam-surfaces on the top of the holder; the ring rests on two pins projecting from the upper block, and the lower block either slides in the holder or has its contacts movable by the insertion of the lamp.

Abstract: 18,515. Kolb, G. Aug. 14. Steering and balancing.-The frame of a flying-machine is mounted around a spherical housing containing a gyrostat, in such a way that the frame can be rocked by the aviator about a transverse and a longitudinal axis around the housing. Movements about both axes may take place simultaneously. Fig. 1 shows a sectional elevation on the line A, B, C, D, Fig. 2, and Fig. 2 shows a plan; the arrow shows the direction of flight. The gyrostat is mounted about a vertical axis in the housing a, which has two grooves b, b' formed in it. Worm-wheels d, d<1> are carried by the frame c of the machine and have tongues i, i' which work in the groove b<1>. Similar wormwheels e, e<1> have tongues h, h<1> which work in the groove b. Each worm-wheel is meshed with upper and lower worms, such as f, g, feathered on shafts l, n, m, o. When the worms which engage the wheels d, d<1> are rotated through the shaft r and gearing shown, since the wheels d, d<1> are fixed by the tongues and the groove on the housing, the worms roll on the wheels and carry the frame c around the housing. By these means, the inclination of the planes to the horizontal is altered. Operation of the shaft s causes the worms g to roll around the wheels e, e<1> and so causes the machine to move around an axis in the line of flight. The worm gears are of small pitch so as to be automatically looked.
