Title: Improvements in or relating to Railway Signalling Systems.
Inventor: KRAUSE PETER
Filed: 1908-04-24
Granted: 1908-09-10
Abstract: 8994. Krause, P., and Harff, M. April 24. Collectors for electricity. A broad contact-plate is raised by connexion with the semaphore, gate, &c., when the line is blocked, into a position where it will contact with blocks 17, 18, 19, 20, Fig. 5, of any passing train and so close an alarm circuit 11, 12 on the train. Simultaneously with the raising of the plate, two contact-plates are raised and form terminals of an alarm circuit in the signal cabin. When a train passes, the bridge-piece 16, 21, Fig. 5, makes contact between the plates and closes the cabin alarm circuit. The frame carrying the contact-pieces 16 ... 21 may be pivoted to the engine frame and may be preceded by a brush, also fixed to the frame, which scrubs the track contacts. The track contacts may be mounted on parallel levers so that they remain horizontal when raised; or one end of each may be mounted on a roller and the other on a lever, so that they will be raised to an inclined position. The circuit on the engine may be arranged for operating the brakes of the engine.
