Title: Improvements in receiving apparatus for electrical impulses
IPC: H01H50/08
Filed: 1931-02-02
Abstract: 365,812. Electric signalling systems. LYTH, P. W., Lidingo, Sweden. Feb. 2, 1931, No. 3350. [Class 40 (i).] An indicating device is coupled magnetically to the armature of an electromagnetic impulse receiver. When impulses are received they pass to coils 2 of electromagnet 18 and to coils 13 of the armature 31. The current in the armature attracts the soft iron plate 4 before the armature 31 begins to move and then the armature and the disc move together. The movement is communicated to the indicator (not shown) through wheel 18. When the impulse ceases the spring 61 pulls the plate 4 away from the armature, before the spring 5 restores the heavy armature 31 to its zero position. The spring 61 also exerts a braking action on spindle 14 of plate 4 to prevent its moving in the reverse direction and also to prevent 5 restoring 31 before 4 has been released. The movement of the armature is limited by arm 10 coacting with spring stop 9. Stop 9 is split as shown and one end butts up against an eccentric disc 7, by means of which the movement of 31 can be adjusted. An embodiment in which the armature 31 is unwound is also described.

Abstract: 564,847. Charging and' discharging batteries. TELEFONAKTIEBOLAGET L. M. ERICSSON. March 8, 1943, No. 3765. Convention date, March 7, 1942. [Class 38 (iv)] A relay R, releasing on failure of a battery B, for example to energize an alarm signal, is connected in parallel with the battery and a rectifier L1 supplying charging voltage. It is designed to be held operated by a current smaller than that required to operate it and to release when the battery voltage falls below a definite value and in the interval between peaks of rectified voltage, when that voltage is also low. To increase the time available for release of the relay, the rectifier used may be of the half-wave type, but in a modification, a resistance is included in series with one half of a full wave rectifier to reduce the voltage peak in alternate half-waves below the release voltage of the relay. In further modifications, using full wave rectifiers, a winding is added to the relay and so energized as to neutralize the excitation due to the rectifier and leave the relay responsive only to battery volts. This winding may be fed through an auxiliary half-wave rectifier or through a full wave rectifier and may be effective independently of phase displacement between the currents in the opposed coils. The additional winding may be fed with current through a phase-displacing condenser from an auxiliary rectifier in parallel with the battery. The relay is operated by momentarily closing a switch P and retained by current through an auxiliary contact and resistance r.
