Title: Train Controlling Mechanism for Automatically Applying the Brakes
Inventor: THOMPSON JAMES THEODORE
Filed: 1908-01-28
Granted: 1908-06-04
Abstract: 1914. Thompson, J. T. May 18, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Locomotives.- A valve for applying the brakes to a train at a given part of the track is reset by a further movement of the operating - mechanism independently of the driver. The mechanism employed is an electric motor, which operates the valve through a cam, and which is controlled from an electromagnetic switch so arranged as to be opened by a motor at the end of the cycle of operations. The electro-magnet 15, Fig. 4, is in circuit with a collector on the locomotive, which makes contact with a conductor on the track, which serves to complete the circuit when the signal to which it is connected is at "danger." The armature 17 of the magnet 15, when raised by its controlling-spring, serves as a stop to the piece 75 pivoted on the member 68 carrying the roller 70. When the magnet 15 is energized, the piece 75 is free to turn, and this allows the member 68 to rotate clear of the bolt 61 of the switch arm 56, which is moved by the spring 60 to close the circuit of the motor 30. The motor drives the disk 31 and, by means of a slot 32, in which a pin 33 on the rod 34 engages, moves the rod 34 so as to open the valve 20. The concentric part of the cam slot 32 ensures the valve being kept open for a certain time, after which it is again closed by the further rotation of the disk. The pawl 92 on the rod 90 jointed to the rod 34 passes over the bar 95 on the switch on the first movement of the disk 31 and, on the resetting movement, pulls open the switch and opens the motor circuit. The end of the pin 61, which is pressed forward by a spring, is chamfered so as to easily move over the roller on the detent 68. A registering-device 100, operated by a star-wheel driven by a pawl 102 on the disk 31, records the number of signals passed at danger. Fig 5 shows the track contact rail 3 and the train contact roller 8 carried on a pivoted lever 7, which is pressed upwards by a spring 10. At points, contacts may be arranged to close the circuit to the track conductor and engine apparatus.
