Title: Improvements in and relating to Systems and Apparatus for Electrically Controlling a Group of Railway Switches or Signals.
Inventor: ALEXANDER ALBERT EDGAR
Filed: 1913-03-03
Granted: 1914-03-03
Abstract: 5295. Alexander, A. E., [Union Switch and Signal Co.]. March 3. Electric operation and control.-Relates to a system for the electric operation and control of points and signals comprising a controller E, a motor F, and a relay R for exciting and reversing the motor, and consists in so arranging the circuit of the relay field that it is closed when the lever 18 of the controller E is in either extreme position, so that the relay armature will return to its proper position if moved therefrom by exterior means. The armature 24 is constantly energized from the power mains X, Y which extend throughout the system for each point or signal motor, and may vary in size according to the current required. The control is effected by (i) three or (ii) four small control wires extending from the central controller E to each point or signal. (i) In the form shown in Fig. 2, the relay field is energized through wires 28, 36, 9, 14, 31, and 39. Rotation of the lever 18 until stopped by segment 19 reverses the current through wires 28, 29, 30, 31, 14, resistance H<1>, and wires 9, 36, 38, 39. Rotation of the armature 24 energizes the motor F through wires 42, 45, 46, 47, motor field winding, wires 50, 48, 49, motor armature winding, and wires 50<Î> 44. The points or signals are then operated and the indication circuit completed from wire 14 through wires 51, 52, 53, 37, 54, and resistance H. The current in this circuit is sufficient to energize the relay 33 to raise the armature 41 and complete a circuit from wire 37 through wires 55, 56, magnet 21, and wire 60. This raises the latch in the segment 19 and allows the completion of the movement of the lever 18. (iii) In the form shown in Fig. 3, the circuit for the relay field 134 is through wires 140, 142, 141, and 143. Rotation of the lever C<10> reverses this through wires 140, 141, 142, and 143. Rotation of the relay armature 135 completes the motor circuit through wires 138, 144, 145, motor armature 113, wires 146, 147, 148, 149, 150, motor field 114, and wires 151, 139. An indication circuit is then closed through wires 138, 152, 153, 154, 155, magnet R<10>, and wire 156. Latch 129 is then raised to allow the lever C<10> to complete its movement. The arms 125, 124 do not move from their contacts until near the end of the lever movement, when a circuit is completed from wire 154 through wires 1100, 1101, magnet M<10>, and wires 1103, 156. This magnet is used in interlocking systems to control any other circuit or circuits. The four-wire control system is also shown applied to both points of a cross-over road.
