Title: Improvements in Indicator Signals for Railways and in Operating Means therefor.
IPC: B61L17/02
Filed: 1909-11-05
Granted: 1910-06-16
Abstract: 25,579. McKenzie & Holland, Haywood, T. E., and Beauchamp, A. W. Nov. 5. Visual outdoor signals.-In routeindicating signals for drivers, in which figures or other signs are exposed, each figure frame is provided with a separate operating - motor, so constructed that the moving element of each motor is directly secured to or forms part of such frame. The frames are operated by pneumatic, hydraulic, or other pressure, and an indication circuit is so arranged that the operating- levers are locked unless all the frames are in their n o r m a l position. The frames are housed in a casing 3 on the post, and consist of top and bottom pieces 7, 8, between which the figures are hung on wires 34, and tubular side-pieces 9, the frames sliding on guide-rods 10 attached to supports 14. Within the tubular pieces 9 are rods 15, attached to supports 14, and provided with pistons consisting of cup-leathers 16 held between nuts 17 and washers 18 clamped by hollow screws 19. The fixed pistons and movable cylinders act as motors for the slides, and are supplied with fluid pressure through pipes 20, 21 and valves 22 to raise the frames in front of a casing 4 having lamps 5, and behind an aperture in the front of the casing 3, which aperture is normally closed by a screen 29. The screen is mounted and operated in a similar manner to the frames, having a controlling-valve 33, and in addition operates the semaphore, for which purpose it is provided with projections 31, 32 for engaging a foot 30 on the operating-rod 2. The underside of the screens have projections 35 for closing contacts 36 in one indication circuit, all the contacts 36 being in series and mounted on an insulating-block 42. These contacts are closed by the screens in normal position ; in operated position, they raise counterweighted levers 44 to close contacts 43 in the circuit of the valve 33 controlling the screen 29. Fig. 9 shows a diagram of the circuits &c. controlling three screens, A, B, C being the operating-levers which, when moved, close two sets of contacts 48, 51, the first closing the circuits of the valves 22 from the positive busbar 46 to the negative 47, thus causing the screens to rise, break contacts 36, and close contacts 43, in the circuit of the valve 33. The contact 48 having previously been closed, the screen and semaphore are thus opsrated, and the semaphore contact 57 broken. The raising of the frames and screen breaks the circuit of the indication magnets 54, thereby locking the levers that have not been operated. These levers are only unlocked on the return of frames, semaphore, and screen. Indication contacts may also be provided for the screen. Instead of two tubular motors being provided for each frame, one may be attached to the lower member thereof, in which case the tubular side members act in conjunction with the rods 10 to guidetheframe. Specifications 5109/92, 26,943/02, and 19,492/07 are referred to.

Picking-motions; checking pickers; checking picking - sticks; pickers; picking- spindles.-A picking-roll 13, Fig. 1, on the main shaft of a loom contacts with a lever 15, and, through connexions, operates an arm 20 on the picking- shaft 21. An arm 31, loosely mounted on a sleeve 32, Fig. 3, is normally locked to the shaft by spring-pressed rods 26, the bevelled ends of which are received in correspondingly-shaped recesses in the hub of the arm 31, but, if any obstacle to motion arises, the springs 28 yield. The arm 31 is adjustably connected to a lever 38 having a roller 42, which engages a pivoted picking-stick 43 passing through a picker 50. A lever 47, actuated by a spring 46, returns the parts after operation. The picking-stick has a slot, through which passes a stud 72 on a bracket 40 carried by the rock-shaft of the lay, and links 73, 75, 76 are provided, so that the stick has no rubbing action on the picker. The picker, which is checked by a buffer 59, Fig. 5, slides on one or more rods 51, which are preferably made hollow and provided with holes communicating with a longitudinal groove, and are supplied with oil from cups 54. A spring- pressed lever 80 acts on the picker to check the outward stroke of the picking-stick.
