Abstract

850,861. Automatic exchange systems. POSTMASTER GENERAL. Nov. 14, 1956 [Nov. 14, 1955], No. 32547/55. Class 40 (4). A subscriber's bell BL is fed from an exchange battery B connected to the subscriber's line on the outgoing side of exchange switches ECS, a ringing signal being sent from a ringing generator RG at the exchange over the exchange switches to control the ringing of the bell BL by power from the exchange battery B. The arrangement is particularly intended for use with electronic exchanges, in which the switches are not suitable for the transmission of sufficient power to operate a conventional bell. As shown, a capacitor C1 in series with a magneto bell BL is normally charged to the potential of the exchange battery B. The ringing signal (audio-frequency modulated at a low frequency) is received by a tuned circuit C3, T2, demodulated by MR, C4, and applied to the emitterbase circuit of a transistor TS so as to increase the conduction between the emitter and collector which are bridged across the capacitor C1 and the bell BL, thus ringing the bell. The current drawn from the exchange battery varies the potential of a lead 4 to give a check signal to the exchange that the ringing is effective. Distortion of speech transmission by C3, T2 may be reduced by shunting the transformer T2 by a resistor R4 under the control of additional cradle-switch contacts CS3. Alternatively the cradle-switch may disconnect the circuit C3, T2 from the line. Instability due to feed-back at the transistor TS is prevented by a resistor R 1, which may be replaced by the emitter-collector path of a second transistor, Fig. 2 (not shown). In a modification (not shown), a D.C. bell is used with a series-connected transistor. Selective ringing on a party line may be effected by using different audio-frequencies for the ringing signals. A thermistor in series with the bell prevents tinkling due to dialling by another subscriber on the line.
