Granted: 1910-03-24
Abstract: 7556. Stern, A., and Doob, H. March 30. Track apparatus actuating signals on trains and other than on trains; and for stopping trains; indicating movements of trains.-As a train passes fixed electric conductors on the track, it indicates its position to the signalman, who can then operate a switch so as to stop the train by energization of an electro-magnet a definite number of times so as to drive a ratchetwheel 19 by means of a pawl 20 on the armature of the electro-magnet. A crank on the ratchet-wheel indicates various signals according to its position, and, in one position, closes a circuit to electro-magnets operating the brake or throttle-valves. In the arrangement shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the train carries a shoe 15 which serves to connect a live rail 26, through the engine circuit of the magnet 21, to a sectional conductor 27 and through the cabin apparatus comprising a switch 31, contact 35, lamp 34, and return lead 29. The magnet 21 is not energized while the signal lamp 34 is in circuit, but, by depressing the switch handle, the signalman cuts out the lamp and energizes the magnat, which drives the ratchetwheel one step for each pulsation, the number of pulsations being determined by the apparatus in the cabin. A similar instrument for repeating the indications of the engine apparatus may be fixed in the cabin. In a modified arrangement, Fig. 4, the battery 64 is not strong enough to energize the solenoid 68 with the lamps in series. In order to signal to the train, the signalman depresses the switch 57 and complete s a circuit from the battery 75, switch 57, rail 53, solenoid 68, and rail 51, back to the battery,
