Title: Improvements in Means for the Regulation or Control of Railway and like Traffic.
Inventor: KRAMER HANS VON
IPC: B61L3/22

Granted: 1914-05-28
Abstract: 12,406. Kramer, H. von. May 28. [Addition to 19,467/12.] Track apparatus actuating signals on and for stopping trains.-A modification of the apparatus described in the p a r e n t Specification comprises the use of a single track wire arranged in series loops at signalling points. Breakage of the wire at any point thus causes a warning to be given on the train. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the signalling l o o p s producing absence of induction in the engine wire frame 4 are formed on the opposite track to that on which the train is travelling. The loops are switched in or out of circuit according to the position of the signal arms 10 and switches controlled thereby. In another form, the out and return wires are laid close together between the tracks at any point at which warning is to be given. More than one turn of wire may he used at a track loop. Fig. 5 shows a form in which the warning-loop is on the same track as that on which the train is travelling. When the signal is at ' safety,' the track circuit includes wire 1, contacts 11, 6, wire 1<b> and wire 1, and induction is maintained in the engine wire frame. If the signal is at ' danger,' the track circuit includes wire 1, contacts 11, 9, wires 33, 31, 32, and wire 1. The currents in wires 31, 1 and the wires 33, 31 respectively, produce neutralizing-inductions on one side of the loop, and the currents in wires 32, 1<c> induce opposing induetions on the other side of the loop. By arranging these wires at suitable distances from the engine wire frame, all the inductions in the frame may he neutralized or insufficient resnltant induction left to actuate the relay. Fig. 3 shows a modified form of engine apparatus in which the circuit controlled by the Kramer and Kapp relay 16 includes an electro-magnet 17 energized to attract its armature 20 when the reed 18 of the relay makes contact with the springs 19. When the relay 16 is not energized, the circuit of the electro-magnet 17 is still completed through a non-inductive resistance 25, hut the current is too weak to attract the armature 20, which breaks the circuit of a magnet 21, the armature of which carries an indicator and also breaks the circuit of a solenoid 24 controlling the brakes or steam valve. The continually-completed circuit of the magnet 17 avoids or minimizes sparking.

Abstract: 6306. James, R. W., [International Cigar Machinery Co.]. Oct. 9, 1913. Cigar - making machines. - In a suction wrapper support for transferring the wrapper from the cutting-die to the wrapping - mechanism of a cigar machine, the support is given a movement which is the resultant of an approaching, a traversing, and an angular movement, such movements being similar to those given to the support described in Specification 7917/00, the support is arranged to be turned to bring the wrapper into patching position, and is provided with several suction chambers so that the wrapper is more effectively held during the wrapping operation. The support is pivotally mounted in an arm 606. Fig. 1, which in turn is pivoted to a bell-crank 604, 605. The bell-crank is operated by a cam 630 and bell-crank 626, 627 to give the approaching movement, while the arm 606 is operated by the rod 641, bell-crank 634, 637 and cam 639 to give the traversing movement. The angular movement is obtained from the cam 652 through the rod 646, bell-crank 643, and gears 653, 615. The support comprises two hollow brackets 619, 620, Fig. 3, pivoted on a hollow block 618, the brackets being connected to the suction chambers 671, 672, 673 and perforated wrapper-supporting face 624.
