Alarm apparatus. -A central station B is provided with means for automatically transmitting an alarm signal to stations 36 .. 39 when the normallyclosed circuit from a transmitting- station A has been broken and reclosed by pulling and releasing a knob 40. The breaking of the circuit de-energizes a magnet 4 at the central station, and the armature releases two weighted levers 16, 17. The lever 16 closes contacts 21, 22 completing a local circuit 25, 26, 27 which includes an alarm bell 29 and a magnet 30. The lever 17 moves only a little way and is then arrested by a hook 24 engaging a notch in the back of the armature ; but when the line circuit is closed again the lever 17 is again released and completes its motion, moving the contact 22 in such a manner as to break the circuit 25, 26, 27 and make a fresh circuit from earth 7 through a magneto signal-transmitter 35, and the line 33 to earth 34, so that an alarm is given at the stations 36 ... 39.. The signal-transmitter 35 is operated by a simple form of weight motor, the release of which is not effected until the magnet 30 has been energized and again de-energized, a device similar to the lever 17 being used for this purpose. By this arrangement the transmitter 35 begins to rotate at the same time that its circuit is completed to the line 33. Each transmitting-station has its own line-wire and central station apparatus and is characterized by a particular signal. Breakage of a line-wire or failure of the battery 5 causes the lever 16 to be released so that the fault is notified by the alarm bell 29, but the lever 17 is not released and the stations 36... 39 do not receive an alarm.
