Abstract: 190. Strachan, R. P., and Strachan & Henshaw. Jan. 2. [Cognate Application, 15,381/12.] Protective arrangements and devices at track points; points and switches for conductors.- In telpher systems, a protective section is provided on each of the approaches to a junction switch, the sections being so connected that the main line approach section always provides a " live " path for the collector when either the branch or main line continuation section provides a " live " path. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 2, the three protective sections a<2>, a<3>, and b<2> are connected to the electric supply through a switch g operated directly by the track switch C, C', whereby the section a<2> is only " alive " when one of the other sections is " alive," this section depending upon the position of the track switch. By this arrangement, a car is " blocked " if the track switch has not been set for it. In a modified arrangement, the switch g is dispensed with and the conductor point or switch is connected directly to the supply so that according to its position the corresponding sections are made " alive." Figs. 3 and 6 show two forms of conductor switches adapted for use in such an arrangement. In another arrangement, insulated conductor sections are not required, the collectors either being diverted on to a dummy track or raised from contact with the conductor by means of a pivoted member such as s, Fig. 8, mounted adjacent thereto. In a further modification, the conductors are pivotally supported so that they can be moved transversely whereby the collectors are caused to pass over a fixed " dead " track. These various devices of dummy tracks and diverting switches are operated from the track switch through any electrical or mechanical connexions.
