Granted: 1906-09-27
Abstract: 4226. Pealling, T. W. Feb. 20. Automatic systems; contacts, mechanical.-A train in passing over spring-supported contact-rails mechanically sets the signal to 'danger' behind it and retains it at 'danger' until the train reaches the next signal. Each contact-rail g, Figs. 2 and 4, is supported on curved springs h, which are each fixed at one end j, and are free to slide at the other end through a staple k. The springs h normally retain the semaphore q at 'safety,' but, when the rail g is depressed by an arm e provided with a roller f and carried on the engine and last vehicle of a train, the balance weight raises the semaphore to 'danger.' The wheel flanges may directly depress the contact-rails. The engine depresses the next contact-rail g<1>, Fig. 6, before the last vehicle has left the contact-rail g. These intermediate rails g<1>, g<2> are connected by means of levers s, Fig. 5, and rods t to chains, wires, or cords passing over guide-pulleys back to the balance lever of the signal, which is thus retained at 'danger.'

Title: Improvements in and relating to Indicating and Recording Apparatus for Electric Pyrometers.
Inventor: ARMOUR WILLIAM
Filed: 1907-02-06
Granted: 1908-02-06
Abstract: 2926. Armour, W. Feb. 6. Pyrometers.-An automatic electric recording pyrometer with alarm a s described i n Specification No. 1906, A.D. 1906, is provided with improved forms of adjustable contacts or relays for giving an alarm and making a record at maximum and minimum temperatures, and with means for causing a single completion of contact to make a continuous alarm and record until the attendant breaks the circuit. To enable the deflecting force of the meter to make a good contact, a delicate spiral clock spring A, Fig. 2, is used, having a platinum tip B for touching the platinum end D of the pointer of the meter and completing a relay circuit actuating the recording-pen and the alarm. In another arrangement, a rotary contact L, Fig. 4, has two conducting-rings connected to a relay circuit and insulated from one another, and is provided with a cam Q, which oscillates a lever R ; the free end of the lever R normally touches an insulating-ring, but, when the T-shaped end S of the pointer comes in its path, presses the end S against the two conducting-rings, thus completing the relay circuit. In another arrangement, the clock-work used for driving the recording-drum controls the circuit of an electro-magnet the armature of which is normally held up by a spring and intermittently depressed. A bar 1, Fig. 6, attached to the armature is fitted over a spring U, which is thereby pressed intermittently against an insulating-piece 2, but, when the end D of the pointer comes underneath the spring, a relay circuit is completed through the spring U and the pointer, or through the spring U, the end D of the pointer, and a contact 3, or through the end D and two contacts 3. A vulcanite stop 6 is set so as to prevent the pointer from passing the limit at which the contact is set. To produce a continuous alarm and record, the relay current is made to traverse one coil of a doublywound magnet 7 or 8, Fig. 7, which attracts its armature, carrying the recording-pen 10, so as to connect contacts 8<a>, 9, which complete 'a circuit through a bell and the second coil on the magnet 7 or 8, which then holds the armature down. The alarm is stopped by an attendant opening a switch 7<a>. By placing the bell in shunt with the magnets 7, 8 instead of in series, the double winding may be replaced by the wiring shown in dotted lines in Fig. 8, the shunt current traversing the core and armature of the magnets 7, 8.
