Patent GB-459493-A (GB)
Title: System and apparatus for controlling at a distance one or more electric circuits by means of sound waves
IPC: G08B5/36
Filed: 1935-04-03
Abstract: 459,493. Detecting approach of overtaking vehicles. BELTRAMI, C., 2, Via Borgonuovo, Milan, Italy. April 3, 1935, Nos. 10391 and 10392. Convention dates, April 4, 1934 and Oct. 4, 1934. [Class 118 (ii)] A signalling device controlled by sound comprises one or more balanced beams which is or are normally held spring pressed against a diaphragm and which open the circuit of a normally energized relay when the diaphragm is vibrated by sound waves to close an alarm circuit. Movement of the armature may be retarded by a fly-wheel to prevent closure of the alarm circuit by single noises and a spring mounting may be used to prevent undue vibration. Spark-quenching devices may be provided. The invention is described as applied to an alarm circuit for indicating to a driver the approach of an overtaking vehicle, a hand-controlled reply circuit being also provided. As shown in Fig. 1, when sound waves cause diaphragm B to vibrate, the relay armature is released and contacts N are closed to light lamps R in the driver's cabin and at the rear of the vehicle. When it is safe for the overtaking vehicle to pass, the key P is depressed to light lamps V and so inform the driver of the faster car that he may overtake without danger. In the embodiment shown in Fig. 1, the contact in the solenoid circuit includes the diaphragm B, but in the arrangement shown in Fig. 3, two levers C, are provided spring-pressed towards each other. When the diaphragm vibrates the inertia of the arms C prevent them oscillating at the same rate as the diaphragm so that the contact L is open so long as the sound continues. The delay action device for the armature is shown in Fig. 4, and comprises a fly-wheel V driven by the armature M through toothed spindle T. If the circuit of coil S is open for only a short period, the armature M is not given time to put the fly-wheel in motion before it is again attracted and contacts N are not closed. To prevent undue vibration, the device may be mounted by the spring bars Q<1>, Q and the central bar Z as shown in Fig. 5. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specifications 7565/06, [Class 118], 184,239, 195,657, [both in Class 118 (ii)], and 433,417.

Abstract: 236,167. Atlas-Werke Akt.-Ges. June 28, 1924, [Convention date]. Driving-gear and regulating and control-transmitting gear for winding and paying-out apparatus.-In an electrically-driven ship's anchor winch or capstan provided with a friction clutch between the motor and drum as a safety member one part of the clutch is subject to the action of a disconnecting element, such as a compression spring adjusted to the maximum load while the other part of the clutch is influenced by a weighted or spring lever which enables the disconnecting stress of the friction clutch to be adjusted and also to be removed completely fcr the purpose of testing the releasing power o.' the clutch when working. The drum 5 is driven through worm gearing 4 by a shaft 3 which is coupled by a multiple disc clutch 2 to a shaft 1 driven by the motor. A bell-crank lever 14 having a weight 15, or a spring load, is connected by a driver ring 13 to a sleeve 16 which is connected to a disc 10 bearing against springs 17. Notches 18 in the weight', or lever, are engaged by the end 19 of a lever 20. The lever 14 can be moved into positions a - - d by the lever 20 to vary the load which will release the clutch. A rod 21 pivoted to the lever 20 is provided at its end with a resilient sleeve 22 which engages an aperture 23 in a hand wheel 24 by means of which the controller of the motor starter is actuated. The motor cannot be started until the sleeve 22 is withdrawn from the aperture 23, and in this position of the lever 20 the clutch is unstressed. On turning the wheel 24, the sleeve 22 slides along its underside until it registers with the aperture 23 when it :moves upward and locks the wheel in position for rormal running of the motor. During running the position of the lever 14 can be varied, by means of the lever 20, without unlocking the wheel 24, to ascertain if in position b, e.g. the load will effect the release of the clutch. The shaft 3 is preferably displaceable longitudinally. The end of the shaft 3 is mounted in a ball bearing 28 in a casing 27 which is longitudinally movable in an extension 26 of the casing 25. A compression spring 29 is placed between the casings 25, 27. All the members of the clutch that have a large moment of inertia are connected to the shaft 1.
