Granted: 1915-06-10
Abstract: 6520. Siemens Bros. & Co., and Ferreira, L. de M. G. March 14. Visual outdoor signals; slots, reversers, and like apparatus.-Relates to electrically - operated semaphore signals driven by a motor through epicyclic gearing and consists in the application of sun-and-planet epicyclic gearing. When the circuit of the motor P is established either manually or automatically, the pinion N drives a spur-wheel K mounted loosely on a shaft E and carrying on a stud W two planetwheels G, H rigidly coupled together. On energizing an electromagnet R, the sun-wheel J is locked by a device explained below, and consequently as the planet-wheels G, Hare carried round the sun-wheels F, J, the sun-wheel F is rotated at a speed dependent on the difference between the radii of the wheels G. H. The wheel F is secured to the shaft E, which drives through pinions D, C the shaft B operating the signal arm through a crank A &c. On the signal arm reaching the ' off ' position, the circuit of the motor is automatically broken. preferably at a contact operated by the signal arm. After the magnet R has been deenergized, the weight of the signal gear restores the signal to the ' on ' position, the pinions C, D, shaft E, and sun-wheel F being driven in the opposite direction; the spur-wheel K is held stationary by a free-wheel device Y, and the planet-wheel H consequently rotates the sunwheel J and with it a spur-wheel L which drives, through a pinion M, a spindle O, operating a centrifugal brake device to obviate shock when the signal returns to danger. The brake comprises a fixed brake ring U co-operating with blocks Z on weighted cranks T, which are mounted freely on pins X secured to arms S keyed to the spindle O. Pins V secured to the cranks T engage slots in an armature disk Q, so that, when the armature is locked by the electro-magnet R, the spindle O is held against rotation. By making the slots in the armature oblong, the brake blocks Z are forced outwards when the motor is started and the magnet energized, additional resistance to the rotation of the armature being thereby gained. The magnet R, instead of being tubular as shown, may consist of a ring of poles, alternately of opposite polarity, energized from separate windings, the armature being preferably slotted radially.
