Granted: 1908-08-31
Abstract: 19,570. Garrard, C. C., and Ferranti, Ltd. Aug. 31. Cut-outs; switches. - In an electric relay, a time lag is obtained by winding up a divided weight so arranged that under normal conditions of the circuit part of the weight is wound up, while on the occurrence of abnormal conditions the whole weight is wound up through a predetermined distance before the circuit is broken. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the cord c, which is wound up by a disk g operated by the electro-magnetic device h, passes loosely through a bore in the adjustable weight a, and has the other weight b attached to its end. The weight b moves downwards, when no current flows in the coils h, without affecting the weight a. With a normal current it remains just below, and when the limiting conditions are reached it lifts the weight a, which is attached to a contact-arm j for completing circuit through a trip coil, after the weight has travelled the set distance. The setting is performed by a supporting-fork d and a slide e, with a scale and pointer for indicating. - In a slightly modified form, the cord c passes through a hole in one of the arms of the contactlever, which supports the weight a and is adjustable by a screw. In the modification shown in Fig. 3, the right-hand end of the lever i may itself form the weight the movement of which determines the time lag. The other weight t is carried by the cord c, which passes through the lever i, then over, or several times round the spindled, and carries a counterbalance b. The lever i may carry adjustable weights a, p on each side of the pivot l. Distinct cords may be used for supporting the respective weights, and they may be wound on axles of different diameter.

Abstract: 11,221. Scherl, A. July 6, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Motor r oa d vehicles ; locomotive railway and tramway vehicles. - Single-track motorcars or monorail vehicles held in equilibrium by gyroscopes are provided with lateral supports, normally held out of contact with the track, which are automatically dropped to support the vehicle should the gyroscopes fail, The side support shown in Fig. 1 consists of two struts f, carrying a spring blade g, which are connected by a transverse member m and secured to blocks h sliding in guides i fixed to the vehicle. A modified support is described in which a forked strut, attached to a single slideblock, carries a spring which may have one or two rollers for running on the ground. The strut f may also be made with a hinged portion x controlled by a spring z as shown in Fig. 5 ; or it may be made of telescopic parts connected by a helical spring inside. The supports are preferably kept raised by a bolt, which may be released by a system of levers &c. controlled by the gyroscopes. If the gyroscopes are electricity driven, a polarized electro-magnet q, Fig. 6, is placed in the motor circuit so as to be energized, when the speed of the gyroscope falls, to attract a bolt n in opposition to a spring o and thus release the side supports. If the struts f are arranged at a sufficient angle, they will be maintained in operative position by the friction of the blocks h against the guides i. The blocks may however be locked by a separate bolt r.
