Definitions

  • Fig. l is a perspective view of my improved signal.
  • Fig. ill is a cal section on a line corresponding to line 2-2 of Figs. HI and TV.
  • Fig. HT is a vertical section on a line corresponding to line -3-3 of Fig. TV, the upper end of the shaft and standard being Fig. TV is a I corres ending to the broken line 4-4 of Fig. ll. V
  • Fig. V is a detail view partially in vertical section showing the driving wheel in en agement with the star wheel, the parts. about to complete a shifting operation.
  • Fig. VII is a detail vertical section illustrating details'of the electrical connections.
  • a base 4 carrying a tubular standard 5 on theupper end of wvhich is a lamp 6.
  • The' tubular shaft 7 is rotatably mounted upon the standard 5 and carries the. lantern or lam housing 8 and the signal member 9 having t e words Stop and Go thereon.
  • the lamp housing is rectangular in cross section and is provided with panes 10 which may be colored as desired, as, for, instance, a red pane for the Stop side and a white pane for the Go side.
  • the circuit wires 11 for the lamp arear ranged longitudinally of the standard. At
  • the base; of the standard is a ratchet-like positioning cam member 12'having four ratchet-like cams.
  • the shaft 7 is provided with a meeting positioning member 13 riding on the cam member 12 so that as the shaft 7 is rotated the cams of the'member 13 ride upon the member 1% and drop from their high points, thus serving to position the signals;
  • a coil spring 15 is arranged on the shaft within the housing, the upper end of thesprin being-supported by the thrustcollar 16 a justably mounted on tlieisli'aft by means of the set screws 17. This spring prevents overthrowof the shaft, although the weight of the shaft and the parts carried thereby act to the same end.
  • the shaft is driven with a step by step movement, the shaft being provided with .a star wheel 18 which is engaged by the tapp'et 19 on the driving wheel 20 as the driving wheelrevolves, thereby securing a step by step rotation of the shaft.
  • the tappet 19 is preferably a roller to minimize friction.
  • driving wheel 20 is connected to the motor 21jby means of a'train of gears, designated generally by the numeral. 22, the ,train of gears being such that the shifting of the signal is properly timed.
  • a switch 23 is provided within the housing to controlthe motor.
  • a switch 24 con: trols the lamp. Of course it is not necessary that the lamp shall be lighted during the daylight hours.
  • the wiring is shown diagrammatically in Fig. VI.
  • the signal is connected to the source ofelectrical supply through the wire indicated at 25.
  • I preferably provide a street sign 33 provided with a lamp 3%, shown in the dia grammatic Fig. Vi, the street sign being controlled by the switch 35.
  • a housing constituting a base, a standard projecting upwardly from said housing, a tubular shaft r'otatably mounted on said standard, an actuated member mounted on said shaft, a ratchetlike positioning cam mounted within said housing at the base of said standard, 'a ratchet-like positioning member on the lower end of said shaft riding upon said positioning cam, a star wheel on said shaft having teeth corresponding with the cams of said positioning member, a driving wheel provided with a tappet adapted to engage with a tooth of said star wheel on described my invention
  • a housing a base, a standard projecting upwardly from said housin a tubular shaft rotatabl Y mounted on said standard, an actuated member mounted on said shaft, a ratchet-like positioning cam mounted within said housing at the base of said standard, a ratchet-like positioning member on the lower end of said shaft ll ing upon said positioning cam, a stai wheel on said shaft having teeth corresponding labor, a spring mounted on said shaft within said housing, said shaft being provided with a thrust collar for said spring, and driving means including a driving Wh el provided wvith tappet adapted. to engage with tooth of said star wheel on each revolution my hand and seal.
