Title: Improved Automatic Signalling Arrangement for Tramway Lines or Electric Railways.
Inventor: SAMAIA DINO
IPC: B61L23/22
Filed: 1912-05-02
Granted: 1913-04-03
Abstract: 10,434. Samaia, D. May 2. Electrical systems, automatic; single-track systems; track apparatus actuating signals other than on trains ; visual outdoor signals.-On single-line tramway tracks and the like, a danger semaphore signal is set and a lamp energized at the exit end for the time being and a caution lamp energized at the entrance end until the track is again clear of trains. A number of cars may proceed through the section at one time. A contact maker, Fig. 2, fixed on the trolly wire makes a circuit through one of the interrupters 15, 15<1> according to the direction of the car. If the bar 8 is moved to the dotted line p sition the end 131 of the arm 10<1> lifts the rod 14<1> and makes the circuit to interrupter 15<1>. A train entering the section from the left of Fig. 1 closes the circuit at contact 1 to the wire b, the solenoid 22 at the signal 6 and earth T. In passing out of the section at the other end the contact D at contact 2 closes the circuit to solenoid 23 at the same signal. If the contacts 1, 2 are passed in a reverse direction the signals are similarly set or reset. The contact makers at each end of the section are positioned respectively in advance and in the rear of their adjacent signals so that, if two trains approach the section from opposite directions and simultaneously close the contacts 1,3, the driver whose train closes contact 3 shall not see the danger signal at that end, and this train may proceed whereas the other will be signalled to stop by the signal 5. A control lamp 7 shows the driver of a train moving over contact 3 that the proper signals are set. Lamps N illuminate the disk 26. Fig. 3 shows the signal mechanism operated by two solenoids 22, 23, the cores of which are connected to links 24, 25, which rock rings mounted between flanges of wheels 19, 20 and carrying pawls 41 engaging ratchet teeth thereon. These pawls also carry a member which lifts a detent pawl from the ratchet-wheels. The wheel 19 is formed as a nut on the screw spindle 17, and the wheel 20 is keyed to permit axial movement of the said spindle. By this means the spindle is moved to the right of Fig. 3 by energization of the magnet 22 and reversely by the magnet 23. In the normal position shown io Fig. 3 the screw 17 holds the lever 31 against the action of a spring to keep open the contacts e, f and to keep the disk 26 in clear position. The first car entering the section energizes the magnet 22 causes the screw 17 to move to the right and release the member 31, which closes the contacts e, f and moves a rack 29 gearing with a pinion on the spindle 27 to move the disk 26 to danger position. Following cars entering the section move the screw further to the right. Cars passing oat of the section energize the magnet 23 and move the screw to the left. The switch 31 is opened and the signal 26 replaced only when the section is cleared of cars.

Title: Improvements in Mechanism for Coiling Wire.
Inventor: JAMES EDWARD
IPC: B21F3/04
Filed: 1913-04-23
Granted: 1914-01-01
Abstract: 9578. James, E. April 23. Coiling ; b e n d i n gformers.-In a machine for coiling wire tubes consisting of two wires one coiled within the other for making flexible tubes for armouring electric conductors, rubber hoses, &c., of the type in which some or all of the rolls for coiling the wires on a mandrel or conductor consist of a number of sections one or more of which has corrugations thereon, the sections are capable of rotating relatively to each other so as to reduce friction. The tubes may be put on the conductors during or after coiling. The coiling-rolls 23, 14, of which the roll 23 is carried by an arm 8 adjusted by a screwed rod 11 through a spring and hand-wheel 10, are formed with sections 13 which are mounted on their shafts and provide bearings for the loosely-mounted sections 14<1>. The coiling-rolls are set with their corrugated sections out of line with each other and may be provided with spaces as shown in Fig. 8, so that the wires W, w may be fed straight to the mandrel without having to pass over the rolls. The wires W are coiled by the section of the rolls having narrow uniformlyspaced corrugations, and are then stretched in the other section of the rolls by the wires w, which are engaged, in the form shown in Fig. 8, by ribs 19 between more-widely spaced corrugations. The ribs may be grooved, if desired, to suit the shape of the wire. The ends 24 of the rolls are bevelled so that the recoil of the wires after coiling may be gradual. The rear section of the upper roll in the form shown in Fig. 4, or both sections thereof may be smooth. When forming a tube in which the second wire w<2> is the outer one and of a section similar to that shown in Fig. 7, the outer sections of all the rolls are smooth. The mandrel 1, which is mounted so as to be capable of rotating, may be formed of smaller diameter at the part opposite the outer section of the rolls, and may be hollow so that the wire may be supplied with lubricant from the chamber 18 through holes 17. When armouring conductors, the conductors may pass through the hollow mandrel and take the place of the part of smaller diameter. Lubricant may be carried thereby from the chamber 18 to the wires. In this case also, the inner coil may be of such diameter that it may be embedded in the insulation. The wires may be fed by rolls 30, 31 driven by worm or other gearing from a shaft 26, the upper rolls being mounted in a pivoted frame adjusted by a screw through a spring and hand-wheel 36. The wires pass through tubes 39 provided with lubricant. The rolls 14, which are shown as being driven by worm gear, may be used alone to feed and coil the wire, or in conjunction with the feed rolls or they may be idle. The upper roll 23 may also be driven.

Cylinder offset machines; tripping- arrangements.-A handoperated travelling- cylinder machine, of the kind in which a travelling offset cylinder is moved first over a lithographic surface a n d then over the sheet to be printed, is c o nstructed so that the offset cylinder is mounted in a carriage guided by the engagement of a roller with upper and lower tracks during the printing and non-printing movements respectively, and the tripping of the roller is effected at the end of the movement of the roller in one direction over the bed by a hand-operated cam shaft which allows the bearing-blocks of the cylinder to rise under spring action when the cam shaft is rotated. As shown, an offset cylinder 1 is mounted in bearing-blocks 12 which are supported on springs in a carriage 13 which can be moved over a bed 2 by means of gear-wheels 10 on the cylinder shaft and racks 17 fixed to the bed. The bed is supported on ledges 6, 7 in a frame 3, and is secured by screws 8 to the frame. The bed carries a lithographic plate and an impression surface on which a sheet is laid. The roller 1 is brought into printing contact with the bed by moving a cam shaft 35 mounted in the carriage 13 so as to cause the raised parts of a cam 36 to act on rollers 33 carried by adjustable screws 40 mounted in the blocks 12 and secured therein by lock-nuts. The blocks 12 are thus depressed and the crank-handle 19 of gear 10 is then rotated to move the carriage first over the lithographic plate and then over the sheet. The carriage is fitted with guide-rollers 14 which move over upper and lower tracks 15, 16 'attached to the frame 3. When a sheet has been printed, the shaft 35 is operated by its handle 37 to trip the roller 1 and on the return movement of the carriage 13 no printing occurs, the rollers then moving on the track 16. Stops are provided for limiting the movements of the carriage 13 and of the cam shaft 35.'
