IPC: H04M15/08
Filed: 1961-03-13
Abstract: 924,491. Automatic exchange systems. ASSOCIATED ELECTRICAL INDUSTRIES Ltd. Feb. 20, 1962 [March 13, 1961], No. 9086/61. Class 40 (4). A calling line identifying arrangement, which caters also for party lines and PBX lines, comprises a matrix having at each cross-point such as M1163, Fig. 2, a pair of gas-filled diodes and a pair of coupling resistors which serve to couple an input wire C1163 to a particular thousands-hundreds wire 11XX and a particular tens-units wire XX63, the latter wires each being connected through rectifiers to a pair of wires so that, when a high voltage pulse is applied to the input wire, a group of four wires 1XXX, X1XX, XX6X, XXX3 are marked to represent the four digits of the calling number. The cross-point M1163 relates to an ordinary line and the input wire C1163 is connected to the private wire at the 1DF. In the case of a party line, there is a cross-point for each party, e.g. M1200, M1208, M1209, Fig. 2, and the input wires are all connected to the private wire of the line. In addition, two extra diodes are provided which are controlled by relays A, B, C, Fig. 3, in dependence on the party calling and serve to inhibit the cross-point diodes corresponding to non-calling parties. In the case of PBX lines which all bear the same number, the diodes at the corresponding crosspoints, e.g. M4455 . . . M4458, Fig. 4, are connected to provide the same markings. The four sets of ten marking wires are connected to pre-amplifiers PA, Fig. 8 (four only being shown) and the output from each of these is taken through rectifiers to two amplifiers of a set of five amplifiers MSM pertaining to the digit place concerned to provide a representation of each digit in a 2 out of 5 code. The base load resistor RP1 of the pre-amplifiers is of such a value that each of the two transistors marked at a time receives adequate current. The high voltage operating pulse may be produced by discharging in series three capacitors previously charged in parallel from the exchange battery. The cross-point circuits may be in the form of cards each carrying the elements for ten crosspoints with printed wiring, and the inhibiting elements for party lines may be carried on smaller cards which may be clipped on the cross-point cards.

IPC: B61J3/08
Filed: 1959-03-18
Abstract: 869,044. Mine car movement control mechanisms. QUALTER, HALL & CO (SALES) Ltd. March 16, 1960 [March 18, 1959], No. 9448/59. Class 104 (2). [Also in Group XXXII] A mechanism for controlling the movement of a mine car comprises stops which may be interposed in the path of, so as to stop, the mine car, a ram to impart movement to the mine car and mechanism operable upon the initial forward movement of the ram to remove the stop from the mine car path to permit the continued forward movement of the ram for predetermined distance to impart a given velocity to the mine car. In the arrangement shown in Figs. 1 and 2 of the Provisional Specification, a main frame 5 carries a pair of stop mechanisms 7 and a ram mechanism 8 which lie between the mine car rails 9. Each stop mechanism 7 has a spring- loaded vertically-slidable plunger 11 which can also move horizontally under a spring loading applied by a spring, rubber, or hydraulic buffer contained in a casing 14. The plungers 11 are connected to a shaft 15 slidable in slots 16 of levers 17 keyed to a shaft 18 and are maintained in the raised position by a spring 19 which loads a rod 20 slidable in a fixed abutment 21 and pivotally connected to a lug 22 fixed to the shaft 18. The ram 8, consisting of a carriage 23 mounted on rollers 24, has a pivotally mounted head 26 weighted at 28 to return it to its normal position after a dummy axle 32 on a mine car has passed thereover and comes to rest against the plungers 11. The ram carriage 23 is moved to and fro by a pushrod 35 of a pivotally mounted electricallyoperated actuator 33 connected to an actuating lever 37 which is connected at one end to the carriage 23 and at the other end to a spring-loaded strut 39. The push-rod 35 on being moved outwardly by the actuator 33 causes the lever to compress a spring 41 of the strut 39 and initially move the carriage 23 forwards. The carriage on moving forward engages, by means of a skid-shaped forward end 29 provided thereon, a roller 30 to rotate the shaft 18 to depress the plunger 11 and, the ram head now engages the dummy axle 32 to propel and impart an accelerated movement, due to the spring 41, to the mine car. The machine may be operated by a pneumatic or hydraulic cylinder. In a modification shown in Fig. 1 of the Complete Specification, the actuator 33 is connected to a roller mounted crosshead 43 in turn connected to the carriage 23 by a shaft 46. The actuator 33 on being operated moves the crosshead 43 towards the right of the Figure to compress a spring 47 until a skate 48, secured thereon, engages a roller 48a to rotate a shaft 51 and move the plunger 11 downwards, thus allowing the ram head 26 to engage the dummy axle 32 and accelerate, due to the spring 47 the mine car forwards.
