Title: Improvements in Fluid Pressure Brakes for Locomotives and Railway and other Vehicles.
IPC: B60T15/04
Filed: 1911-12-30
Granted: 1912-04-18
Abstract: 29,397. Westinghouse Brake Co., [Westinghouse Air Brake Co ]. Dec. 30. [Addition to 13,561/05.] Fluid - pressure.-Fluid - pressure braking-apparatus of the kind described in the parent Specification, in which the valve mechanism for controlling the transference of fluid to and from the brake cylinder is governed by the opposed pressures in the brake cylinder and in an application chamber, is provided with electromagnetically-operated application and release valves. Fig. 2 shows the valve mechanism in release position. The supply of fluid from the reservoir at 10 to the brake cylinder at 6 is controlled by a valve 11, and the exhaust from the brake cylinder by a valve 7, both of these valves being actuated by a piston 3, which, during a pneumatic application of the brakes, is subjected at the left-hand side 2 to the pressure in an application chamber 51, and at the right-hand side to the brake-cylinder pressure. The whole device is controlled pneumatically by a main slide valve 19 operated by a piston 13 subjected to train-pipe pressure at 15. For operating the valves 7, 11 electrically, there are provided a release valve 59 and application valve 55, controlled respectively by electro-magnets 21, 22, which are respectively energized by the engagement of a contact-arm on the driver's valve 30, Fig. 1, with contacts 32, 34 connected to the arrangement of circuits shown in Fig. 1. When the magnet 22 is energized for an electric application, the valve 55 is opened and allows fluid to pass from the main valve chamber 16 by passages 56, 57 to the right-hand side of a piston 23, which is thus moved to the position shown in Fig. 4 and actuates a valve 25 to close an atmospheric port 50, which was previously in communication with the chambers 2, 51. The air from the chamber 16 then passes through ports 57, 58, 49, 48, 47 to a port 46, which communicates by ports 53, 52 with the application chamber 51, and by ports 45, 44, 43 with the chamber 2, thus operating the piston 3 to cause an application of the brakes. When the magnet 21 is energized to release electrically, the valve 59 is opened and allows the chambers 2, 51 to exhaust by the passages mentioned above and an atmospheric port 60. If, after an electric application followed by a pneumatic application, it is desired to release the brakes pneumatically, the piston 23 must be returned to the position shown in Fig. 2 in order to allow the chambers 2, 51 to exhaust through the port 50, and this is ensured by providing passages in the main slide valve 19 which, in the serviceapplication position, connect a port 61 leading from the piston 23 to an exhaust port 65.

Granted: 1913-02-20
Abstract: 23,378. Putlitz, G. Zu, Bachmann, C., and Mann, C. R. Oct. 13, 1911, [Convention date]. Railway-carriage doors and the like, fastening automatically; pneumatically-operated fastenings.-The door-locking mechanism of railway carriages, which is normally operated by compressed air from the brake-pipe, has its valve controlled by means of compressed air from axle - pumps, and the whole apparatus is arranged so that the excess of air from the axle pumps is utilized for locking the doors. A needle-valve a serves to connect the door-locking devices, which are in communication with pipe d, either to the atmosphere by a pipe f or to the brake-pipe e and reservoirs D, E by a pipe k, and is controlled by means of a plunger b operated by compressed air from the axle-pumps t. The plunger b works in a cylinder b' which is provided with a small vent-hole g and with a valved pipe h connecting the cylinder to the reservoir D. When the train starts, the compressed air from the axle-pumps forces the plunger b against the spring u, putting the door-locking devices in connexion with the pipe k and reservoirs D, E, which are at that time filled either with brakeair or with compressed air resulting from the previous operation of the axle-pumps. As the train gathers speed, the compressed air thus generated passes to the reservoir D through the valved pipe h, and maintains the door-locking devices closed. If, however, the compressed air generated at any time be insufficient, brakeair from the pipe e and reservoir E opens the valve e<2> and fills the reservoir D. When the train stops, the air beneath the plunger b escapes through the vent-hole g, the valve b<2> having then closed, and the plunger returns to its normal position. In so doing, the needlevalve is operated and the door-locking devices are put in communication with the atmosphere through the pipes d, f. In a modification, the needle-valve a and plunger b are arranged on the same axis for direct control together.
