Title: Improved Apparatus for Exchanging Tablets used in the Staff or Tablet System of Railway Working.
Inventor: TYER EDWARD
Filed: 1908-05-21
Granted: 1909-08-23
Abstract: 11,045. Tyer, E, [Wynne, H. J.]. May 21. Transferring articles to or from trains in motion. - An apparatus for automatically exchanging tablets between engine and station, comprises swinging arms on the engine and track standard with means on each arm for catching and delivering tablets, the engine fitting being in part detachable so that it may be fixed at either side of the engine. The longitudinally-adjustable engine-arm B, Fig. 2, is pivoted on a bracket A fixed to the engine and can be fixed in the operative and inoperative positions by means of a pin c. The arm B carries a detachable receiving-fork D, Fig. 1, with retaining-springs and a rubber buffer E, which is similar to that detachably fitted to the track standard. At the back of the fork D an inclined tablet sling horn G fitted with a spring, is fixed, and a striker F is also secured thereto for releasing the trigger H<1> to allow the bracket H to swing round. The bracket H on the track standard is held in the operative position against the action of the spring P by a catch K, against which the trigger H<1> bears. The tablet-holding device T is similar to that on the engine except that two inclined holders are provided so that tablets may be exchanged with trains travelling in opposite directions. When the trigger H<1> is knocked down by the arm F, the catch K is raised by the spring R, and the bracket is swung round by the spring P and is held by a spring latch L, In a modification, Fig. 1<a>, the tablet holder G on the engine is pivoted to the receiving fork and held in a vertical position by a flat-spring G<1>. The holder on the track standard is a single one and is fixed to the trigger, thus dispensing with the striker F. A different form of retaining-latch is used on the receiving-forks. The apparatus is supplied in various parts with rubber buffers to take up the shock.
