Patent GB-191016329-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in a Central Energy Electrical Signalling System.
Inventor: FRANCIS JOHN CHISHOLM
IPC: G08B29/16
Filed: 1910-07-08
Granted: 1911-01-26
Abstract: 16,329. Francis, J. C. July 8. Fire, police, and like alarm systems. In alarm systems of the kind in which one or more transmitting - stations are connected to a central alarm station by a normally closed metallic circuit, means are provided for establishing a path for the signalling- currents in the event of a fault, ground, or crossing, and for indicating the character of the fault. The normally closed circuit passes from the central - station battery 1 over the magnet 8, one winding of magnet 10, contact 21, switch 78, lead 4, contacts 22, 23, magnet 13, contacts 79, 80, magnet 11, contact 25, the other contacts 22, 23, lead 5, contact 27, magnet 12, lead 3, second winding of magnet 10, magnet 9, contact 29 and magnet 6. The high resistance of the magnet 11 is sufficient to prevent the energizing of the magnets 8, 9, 13, but when the switch 16 is actuated, contact is closed between 79, 80, 81, and the magnet 11 is short-circuited. The armatures 26, 71 of magnet 11 fall, and contact 43 makes a ground connexion, while contact 45 brings magnet 14 into a shunt-circuit. A further movement of the switch 16 breaks the contact at 79, 80, and the magnets 13, 14 are de-energized. The mechanism by which the magnets 13, 14 operate the code-wheel is shown in Fig. 2. The arms 52 actuate the ratchetwheel 54 to which the arm 55 is attached. The energizing and de-energizing of the magnets move the arm 55 to the two dotted positions, the second position releasing the escapement arm 58, whereupon the code-wheel 15 rotates. When a break occurs in the normally closed circuit, the magnet 6 is de-energized, whereupon contact 36 being closed, the magnet 7 is brought into circuit, thus closing contact 33. When the break occurs in the line 3, a signalling-circuit is obtained through the line 2 and indicator magnet 8 to ground at the transmitter. When the break occurs in the line 2, a similar circuit is obtained through lead 32, contact 33, and magnet 9. The contact 37, which is controlled by the magnet 6, indicates the fault in the lamp 20. When a ground occurs in either of the lines 2, 3, one of the leads remains intact for signalling, while the other completes a circuit to ground from the magnet 1, thus overbalancing the magnet 10, the contact 42 of which indicates the ground by lamp 19. In the event of a cross between the lines 2, 3, the magnet 11 is de-energized and completes a ground connexion as before. Magnet 6 thus becomes deenergized, and two leads are obtained from the battery 1 through the indicator magnets 8, 9 to the transmitter. The manually - operated switch 16 may be replaced by an automaticallyoperating switch, such as a thermostat.

Abstract: 29,654. Dicker, S. G. S., [Automatic Electric Co.]. Jan. 18. Automatic exchange systems; telephones. - In a combined telephone receiver and impulse-sender for automatic exchange working, the electro-magnet D, Fig. 1, of the receiver, and the impulse-sender are mounted at opposite ends of the instrument. The impulse-sender is of the finger-dial type, and is so arranged that the movement of the contactmaker only takes place after the dial has reached its extreme forward position. The rotary dial is locked in its advanced position each time it is rotated, until the contact-maker has completed its operation, and means are provided for returning the dial to its original position if it is accidentally released before it reaches its forward position. The back and front plates 33, 32, Fig. 10, carry respectively the impulse-springs 60, 61 and a glass plate 36 having a backiog on which are printed the numerals corresponding to the holes 19 in the rotary dial 12, so as to be visible through the dial. The dial 12 is fixed to the shaft 38, which is connected by a coiled spring 39 to a wheel 40 loosely mounted on the shaft. The wheel 40 is geared to a shaft 58 carrying a cam 59, Fig. 25, for operating the impulse-springs 60, 61, and the shaft 58 is in turn geared to a spindle 49 having centrifugal friction brake springs 46, which engage the surrounding cylinder 48 when the speed of the spindle 49 is excessive. The high speed spindle 49 is locked by a double catch, one part of which is tripped, when the dial is turned, by a lateral movement of the wheel 40 produced by a cam-surface on the cup containing the spring 39, the other part of the catch being only released when the finger inserted through an opening of the dial engages a special trip lever, which also acts to lock the dial in its forward position. When the dial is turned, the spring 39 is put in tension, and the release of the double catch allows the spring 39 to turn the wheel 40, thus actuating the impulsesprings at a rate controlled by the brake 46, 48. Special means are provided for ensuring that the wheel 40 is arrested in a position exactly corresponding with that of the dial &c. Specification 1298/10 is referred to.
