Title: Improvements in Controlling Devices for Gas or Air Conduit Systems, which are Operated by Variations of Pressure.
IPC: F16K17/00
Filed: 1912-02-19
Granted: 1912-11-14
Abstract: 4132. Deutsche Gasgl³hlicht Akt.- Ges. (Auerges). Feb. 18, 1911, [Convention date]. Valves controlled from a distance. - In controlling-devices for air and gas conduit systems which are operated by variations of pressure in such a manner that a supply-valve which is normally maintained open at a certain pressure is automatically closed at a higher pressure by the action of a second valve which admits pressure to the other side of the supply-valve, two differently-loaded membranes 3, 4, Fig. 1, are arranged to act as valves. The working pressure opens the valve 3 and a higher pressure lifts the diaphragm 4, gas thereby passing through a port 6 to the back of the diaphragm 3, a spring 7 closing the valve. In a modification, it is arranged that a greater area. of the diaphragm 4 is exposed when lifted by the high-pressure wave, whereby the membrane remains raised until the pressure is reduced below the working pressure. This arrangement may be applied to operate a gas-valve in a separate conduit by air under pressure. The device may also be arranged so that the diaphragm does not communicate directly with the atmosphere, but is connected by a passage 17, Fig. 12, with the rear side of the membrane 4, a valve 18 closing this passage when the membrane 4 is lifted by a high-pressure wave. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 14, the membranes 3, 4 are loaded by weights, gas at low pressure entering at 1 through passages 19, 17, 22 to the pilot. With an increase of pressure, the diaphragm 3 is raised and gas passes to the lamp. The diaphragm 4 is lifted by a wave of increased pressure and gas passes through a passage 11 to the other side of the diaphragm 3, which thereby closes. At the same time, the valve 24 is raised, preventing access of gas above the diaphragm 4, and reducing the supply of gas to the pilot. The valves remain in this position until the pressure is lowered sufficiently.
Patent GB-191207435-A (GB)
Title: Improved Electric Signalling Circuit for Train Despatching and like Systems.
Inventor: FIELD JOSEPH CONROW
IPC: H04Q5/20
Filed: 1912-03-27
Granted: 1912-09-05
Abstract: 7435. Field, J. C. March 30, 1911, [Convention date]. Party-line systems and apparatus.-In a stepby-step selective signalling-system for party-line systems, such as for train-despatching &c., an impulse-sending relay at a central station can be energized any desired number of times from any station by earthing the line wires at that station. The way-stations, such as B, C, are all connected in parallel across the lines 5, 6, and each station is provided with an impulsetransmitter 40, telephonic apparatus 25, 26, and a selector comprising a ratchet-wheel 17 adapted to be stepped round by means of a quick-acting magnet 15 and carrying a contact-arm 21, which engages with a contact 22, differently placed at each station, to close a circuit through a signal 23. A slow-acting magnet 16 allows the stepping and holding pawls 18, 19 to engage the wheel during the passage of the impulses. The disks 40, which can be rotated by clockwork or the like, have teeth 41 which press the contact-springs 42, 51, 53 together and so earth the line wires. This closes the circuit of the relay 8 at the central station from the earth at 61 through the relay 8 and battery 7, and then in parallel through an inductance 32 and wire 6 and through a resistance 34, inductance 31, and wire 5, to earth again at 54. The relay armature 9, being thus attracted, breaks the circuit from the line 5 through the resistance 34 and connects it to the other pole of the battery, so sending a current impulse through all the stations, moving their selectors one step. A sector 46 is mounted on each disk 40 with its edge flush with the ends of the teeth 41, and can be fixed at any point to determine the number of impulses sent. The first tooth 44 is made wider than the others in order to send a prolonged starting impulse to energize the magnets 16; the following short impulses step round the selectors, and the prolonged current as the sector 46 passes under the contact 42 serves to ring the bell at the selected station. The depth of the notches between the teeth 41 is such as to keep the circuit through the resistances 70 and the contacts 42, 51 closed at the calling station during the signalling operntion. The earth connexion of the relay 8 can be broken by the key 65, and the central-station operator can then call, in case the leakage current should become so great as to interfere with operation of the relay. Indnctances 31, 32 and a condenser 33 are used to smooth out the current impulses, and inductances 71 at the waystations serve to protect the apparatus from the effects of lightning.

The motor, Fig. 3, comprises a permanent magnet 6, and an armature coil 14 mounted, together with the commutator, on a spindle 11. The armature has curved pole-pieces 13 around which are secured pieces 12 of brass or the like, transverse iron connecting-pieces being provided above and below the armature. Compensating balance-screws may be fitted to the bimetallic strips.
