Title: Improvements relating to Devices for Indicating the Position of Railway Points and the Movements of Trains
Filed: 1908-07-10
Granted: 1908-09-24
Abstract: 14,697. Siemens Bros. & Co., and Ferreira, L. de M. G. July 10. Points and switches.- Indicators for showing (1) that points are set for diverting a vehicle to a branch road, (2) that the vehicle is at the points, and (3) that the vehicle has cleared the points may be similar to those described in Specification No. 12,783, A.D. 1902, and are operated by circuits controlled by track contacts at the points and contacts actuated by the hand-levers. Fig. 1 shows a number of sets of points branching from a main road operated by electromotors M' &c. the circuit to which is opened at switches L', N', &c. when the points are fully home. Similar contacts &c. for each set of points have similar letters of reference. Fig. 1 indicates apparatus I, II, III, IV, V for points R<1> &c., the apparatus I, IV, V being shown in detail. The contacts c<1>, d', e<1>, f<1>, g<1>, h<1>, &c. are closed by the hand-levers. To reverse the points R', the lever b<1> is reversed, thus closing the circuit to the motor M' from the source of energy T through a magnet J', contacts f<1>, N', and motor M' to earth. The magnet J' corresponding to the magnet J, Fig. 2, draws its armature and shows a red signal on the indicator for the points R'. The contact g<1> closes a circuit 'from the bus bar to the magnet K<1> corresponding to the magnet K, Fig. 2, resistance S', and contact rail P', and a train over this contact completes the circuit to earth, causing the magnet K<1> to draw its armature and cause a green disk l to be visible. As the train passes on and clears the points R', the magnet K<1> is de-energized, and the spring j withdraws its armature, thus releasing the lock on the armature of the magnet J and causing a white signal to appear on the instrument. If the points are to be again traversed by a second train, the contact o<1> is closed without replacing and resetting the points. This energizes the magnet J<1>, and the further cycle of operations is as above described. In setting the points R', the lever b<4> is reversed and this closes the motor circuit from the bus-bar through magnets J at each of the apparatuses I, II, III, IV in series, contacts f<4>, N<4>, and motor M<4>. The track-contact circuit is from the bus-bar through contacts g<4> to d', magnets K<1> to K<4>, and resistance S<4> to contact P<4>. As the train moves along the track, the indicators at each point are actuated as above described. Should it be necessary to set points at the apparatus H for a following train before the first has cleared the points R<4>, the lever b (not shown) at apparatus II is pulled as usual. The contacts h<2> (not shown) at the apparatus II serve to maintain the circuit for the points R<4> The contacts on the last lever b<5> of a series b<5> are arranged to close the circuit of the magnets K in both positions of the points lever.

Granted: 1909-09-13
Abstract: 19,132. Imray, O., [Rheinische Metallwaaren-und Maschinenfabrik]. Sept. 11. Field carriages.-Relates to guncarriages of the kind in which the recoil of the gun is diverted as described in Specification No. 18,737, A.D. 1908. According to the invention, the cradle d and cradle-carrier c are normally connected to the elevating-arc f by a spring catch k, but they are disconnected therefrom during the recoil, which is initially in the axial direction, by a rail r on the barrel e which rocks a lever o, withdraws the catch k, and holds the lever in the unlocked position. The gun is retained in the position of maximum deflexion from the firing position by a spring pawl z, on the carrier c, which engages with notches y on the are f, and is run-out and loaded in this position. The pawl z is released automatically when the breech is closed by a projection on the breech block, which strikes an arm 11 and thereby rocks a shaft 6 and lifts the pawl z through an arm 7 and link 5. The lever o may be operated by hand.

Abstract: 12,256. Herring, A. M. May 24. Gyroscopic apparatus. -Relates to means for balancing aeroplanes automatically by the gyroscopic action of propellers or by separate gyroscopes. The propellers 12, Fig. 4, are so mounted that, while driven by bevel - gear and universally-jointed shafting from the motor 15, they can swing transverselv about vertical axes 21 but not longitudinally. If the machine tilts fore-and-aft, the gyroscopic action of the propellers causes them to swing transversely. In swinging, they pull upon wires 11, which tilt planes at the front and rear of the machine so as to restore equilibrium. Gyroscopic wheels, separate from the propellers, may be employed as shown in Fig. 3. The gyroscopes 35, swinging only in a transverse vertical plane, control the fore-and-aft tilt of the machine by pulling on wires 11, which tilt restoring planes as before. Another set of gyroscopes 45 swinging only in a longitudinal vertical plane control transverse tilt of the machine by tilting restoring - planes 44 in opposite directions. The gyroscopes can be manipulated by the aeronaut to tilt the machine.
