Title: Improvements in Automatic or like Couplers for Railway and similar Vehicles.
Inventor: WATSON CECIL
IPC: B61G1/28
Filed: 1914-01-21
Granted: 1914-06-25
Abstract: 1663. Watson, C. Jan. 21. [Cognate Application, 5850/14.] Couplings, automatic. - In a link-and-pin coupling of the drop-pin type, the pin is held up in the uncoupled position by a pawl which projects into the draw-head only so far as is necessary for its release by the upper of the two opposed penetrating links. Thus, the lower of the two links does not release the pawl on the opposite draw-head, and the coupling is effected by the upper link alone. Consequently, when the engaged pin is raised for uncoupling, it is assured that both pins shall be in the raised position, and inconvenience in shunting operations is thus avoided. The pin is held up by a pawl k having at its lower end k<3> shoulders which rest upon the edges of a narrow slot in the draw-head. When the cars come together the upper link knocks back the pawl into a wider slot k<1> through which the shoulders can fall, and the pin then drops as shown on the left of Fig. 1, while the pin on the other draw-head remains up. To relieve the engaged pin of bending strain as far as possible its lower end is adapted to bear upon a cross-bar c<1> formed on the lower link. When the pin is raised the pawl automatically swings into engagement with the narrow slot in front of the slot k'.

Abstract: 16,342. Marks, E. C. R., [International Quadruplex Co.]. July 8. Diplex, duplex, and quadruplex telegraphs; siphon recorders.-In a system in which impulses are normally sent to line and a signal is sent by suppressing certain of the impulses, the receiver normally records a wavy line to indicate that no signal is being received, and records straight lines when signals are received. The Figure shows the connexions at one end of the line in a quadruplex system. The commutator 7 connects the generators 1, 2 to line alternately through the brushes 12, 13. The siphon recorders 18, 25 at a receiving - station are arranged with only one fibre as 21, 28 connecting the coil to the cradle, so that each instrument makes a record of pulsations of one polarity only. When the transmitting operator A depresses the key 14, the generator 1 is disconnected from line so that only negative pulsations are sent, and one of the recorders marks a straight line on the tape instead of a wavy line, thus indicating a signal. The batteries 32, 33 are used for clearing the line only, the current from them being too weak to actuate the recorders.
