Title: Improvements in and relating to Automatic Match Making Machines.
Filed: 1914-11-18
Granted: 1915-08-12
Abstract: 22,727. Timmis, E. W. Dec. 8. Springs, arrangement of and mounting undercarriages on.-In motor-cars having auxiliary helical springs for absorbing small shocks, arranged between the upper and lower parts of the usual laminated springs, the helical springs are made heavy, compared to their strength and resilience, in order that their inertia may absorb vibrations. A special link cranked to void the end of the upper laminated spring is used for connecting the auxiliary spring to the ower part of the laminated spring. Fig. 1 shows the heavy helical spring A arranged between plates D, G, the lower plate G being adjustably secured to a link B connected at C to the lower part of the spring and cranked to avoid the end of the upper part. A hole E in the upper plate D is shaped to admit the link readily and also acts as a guide for the shank which is of crescent section. The increased inertia is obtained by enlarging the diameter of the spring.

Inventor: IMRAY OLIVER
IPC: H01H67/16
Filed: 1915-01-12
Granted: 1915-09-09
Abstract: 498. Imray, O., [Siemens & Halske Akt.Ges.]. Jan. 12. Automatic exchange systems and apparatus; party-line systems.-An auxiliary switch, which may be used to select a source of ringing-current to call a party-line subscriber, is actuated by the vertical magnet of the connector, or by the line relay after the test relay has been energized. Fig. 1 shows the circuits for the former arrangement. The line relay A. slowrelease relays V1, V2, and side-switch magnet S operate the vertical and rotary magnets H, D in known manner, to bring the wipers to the terminals of the wanted line. In the third position of the side switch, the magnet H is again operated to adjust the ringing- switch RS, and when these selecting - impulses cease, the side switch moves into its fourth position. If the selected line is idle, the relay P moves the side switch into its fifth position, in which the ringing-relay L connects the selected ringing-generator to line. When the subscriber answers, the relay Y disconnects the ringing-relay L and moves the side switch into its speaking position. Construction of combined connector and ringing-switch. The armature 21, Fig. 2, of the vertical magnet H carries two pawls 22, 24. one or other of which is operative, according to the position of a lever 27 carrying a roller 28 engaging a cam 26 on the connector shaft. During the tens impulses, the pawl 22 raises the connector ; but when the connector is rotated by the rotary magnet D, the lever 27 disconnects the pawl 22 and allows the pawl 24 to engage the ratchet-wheel 25, so that a further set of impulses in the magnet H sets the switch RS. Constrnctiun of ringing-switch operated by the line and test relays. The switch RS, Fig. 3, is mounted on the same base-plate 36 as the line and test relays A, P, and carries a ratchet 37 which is operated idly by a pawl 39 on the armature of the line relay, unless the detent. 41 is brought into operative position by the test relay P. The tens and units impulses through the relay A are thus ineffective, since the relay P is not energized at the time they are received.
