To all whom t may concern.' i n Be it. lrnown that l. l'lroiiimn Spinne, a citizen of the l'lnited States, and a resirlhe present invention `relateszto a device commonly knownas a-pantograph and used i i in connectionwith electric railroad cars toi"` establishing an electrical connection with* a wire supported above 'the car. Pantographs ot this character have to be eonstructeilwitli soY su'liicient liexibility to allowthem to adjust themselves to the height aswell as the `tension ofthe wire so that a firm contact is maintained at all times no `mattei' wlietherthe `wire is stretched tightly or depends loosely from its sup-ports. f To `obtain an ideal condition tor maintaining the contact betweenf the pantograph and the wire it is necessary` to provide -means `in connection `with the pantograph that will automatically adjust the same to suit conditions. `Assuming `tor instance that the wire. .is stretched tightly' and rather 'high abovegthe car the contact member of the pantograph should automati-` cally rise 'to maintain the Contact.
llf on the other hand the wire isstietched tightly rather close to the car the contact member vshould. automatically descend to` meet this condition soythat no unduestrain n may be put on` the wire. It therefore of importance to provide-control means tor the pantograph that will answer the pressure exerted upon the contact member by the wire and will `cause the vcontact member to risev and descend to meet any situation that may arise. l t n y i The pantograph as such is oldzand the present `invention is principally continedvto,
thelcontiol means for the same. f
The preferred form otniy invention `"illustrated in the accompanyingdrawing in .which Figure l shows asideview otmy pantograpl'i7 Figure 2 atop plan view ot the same, Figure 3 plan view oit an extensible Atraine used in myidevice, Figure et a` vertical section .through the same, Figure a sectional detail `view of a valve usedfor the control of my device, and Figure 6 a vertical section through a shoe engaging the trolley wire. `While l haveshown only the pre` terred tornoA oit the invention it should be 'certain conditions.

The pins, however.` do not `from' catching underneath tliefshoe under Ilhe shoe which rests? in the groovesoftlie members (18') is held` hold the shoe affainst vertical motion and allow the shoe to be tornawfay yfrom the pantogrrapli in case..'tlie shoe is .caughtby normally held in place by a spring (25) connecting` thesame with a parallel ytrans` :versebar engaging the under surtaces of the members (18()` and also by light chains (30) connecting awcentral .portion ot' the shoe withtransrerse rods(52) within the upper `trames.` Both spring and chains areconstructed to break when' the yshoe isA caught. y i

port (38) communi.- eating through thetube (28) with the central portion of the cylinder (24), port (4:1)"y
communicating with af suitable source of pressure such as a pressure tank not shown inlthefdrawing and port discharging intor the atmosphere. A rotary valve (4r-2) is mounted in lthis housing and. provided withftwo peripheral grooves'(43) and` (45) valve is in the position shown in Figure 5 it `considered. to be in a"neu'tral position.
closes the port (38) and disconnects the intake and exhaust ports from'one another' andy from the-port (38) so` that it may be lt willbe noted that a-` slight turn of the valve to the right. asyiewed in Figure 5, connects the intalre withvthe port(38)thro1igh 'the groove (48); and a slight turn to the f left connects the exhaust port (39) with thecylinder through the `groove (45) while a more intense turnto the lett connects the intake with thel cylinder through the' groove (4:5). The rotary valve formsan integral part of a shaft (44:) rotatably supported between the lateral members (46) and of one oi the upper trames as for instance 'the framerii).
The latter ltrame differs from the other three framesin'so tar as it is madek of two vsections `(48) and V(49) slidably engaging each other by means 'of two transverse rods (51) and (52) secured in the iframey section 48) as shownat'fi) and (54;)and"riding,- inslots (56),and (57) ot the section A.(49).
VThe latter section which isthe upper oneV and `COQIlnects with. the shoe (18) `*terminates at its lower end in a yoke k(58) secured to the rod (51) supported in the lower section (48) by means ot a spring (59) tending to torce the upper section upwardly. vThus theframe (ll) is constructed extensibldvthe spring (59) tending to ,inaintain.the member in its most extended position. The yoke (58) which preferably comes to a point in the center of the frame is provided with a downwardly extending ra ck (Gl) engaging a pinion (62) .on the shaft (lie) previously mentioned.
The operation ofthe deviceis as follows: Normally ythe spring'- acting on' the two irame members (8) and drawsthe .same together and tends'toexpand theparallelogram vertically. ."The' springmernfoer (59) within the trame (1l) normally-tends rto expand the same yframe untilprevented from doing; vso by the tension oit' the trolleyy wire. Assuming that the pantograph has adjusted itself to ai definite position so that y its shoe l(18)* contacts with vthe trolley wire the valve (36) is adjusted to be closed. that is. substantially in the position shown in- Figure 5. 'Y This situation remains unchanged until a change occurs in the tension .the air'intake` port (41') and thetube (28).
Air or whatever pressure medium is used is Aforced intothefcentral portion 'of the cylinder V(2li) causing the two pistons (26) to g i move outwardlyv and to thereby` .torce apart `the twQ frames (3) and (.9) 'whereby 'the height of the `pantograph is reduced. "As soon as the'heieht @tithe latter has become adjusted to that ot the trolleywire the tension on the spring Awill ceaseand the latter returns to a normal position.causingr the pinion (62) andthe valve (42) to -return to a normal or inoperative position'.
Assuming now that the electric car passes il; lto a place where the trolley wire/fis higher the spring (59) ofthe extensiblei'frame (ll) which lunder normal vconditions is always slightlyY expanded is allowed to contract and to move the upper ytrame section up vwardly since thewpressure ot the trolley wire. has ceased. Thisgcauses theI rack (6l) to revolve the pinion (62) in the opposite `direction'and the valve (42) is rnow rotated to the left into a position where the .groove (45)' registers with `the tube and the exhaust port (39)*thereby l.allowinef the compressed air within ythe cylinder (24C) to escape and allowing: the'main spring `to draw the two trame members (8) vand catcllcsin the trolley wire or the members supporting the same, it is torn off the pantograph due to the momentum ot the car. the
spring and therhains (30) yielding yto the` pressure.
The resulting reaction of the springp(59) .is the same as in the `sec- Iondcase, only inlanlinten'siied Atornr'and the valve (42 instead of turningslightly to the left so as to connect cylinder and exhaust revolves sufficiently far to the left to 'connect thel intake and the cylinder through the groove (L15). whereby the opposite result is obtained. That is, the whole trame work contracts vertically and takes the upper members out ot the reach of the overhead wires.
