Definitions

  • the present invention broadly stated, relatcs to calling devices and is concerned more particularly with impulse senders for automatic telephone systems in which switches,
  • the subscriber at the special substation is therefore relieved of the labor of dialling a whole numher; subscribers whom he desires to call frequently are assigned single digit code numbers, and, by dialling such a number, the calling subscriber extends the connection in a simple manner.
  • Fig. 1 is a front view of the device complete.
  • Fig. 2 is a rear view of Fig. 1 with the regular calling device located in the center of Fig. 1 removed.
  • This regular calling device will not be described in the instant case.
  • Any known calling device can be used for this purpose, such for example as is disclosed in the patent to Herbert F. Obergfell, No. 1,642,822, issued September 20, 1927, which may be consulted for details.
  • Fig. 3 is another front view of the calling device.
  • Fig. 4 is a cross section taken on line AA of Fig. 3.
  • the complete mechanism comprises the regular calling device 1, with its finger stop 2, and the auxiliary calling device 3, with its finger stop 4. Both calling devices are rotatable in the direction of the arrows.
  • the regular calling device has ten finger holes, and the auxiliary calling device has 25 finger holes, which means, that the first is adapted to send a maximum of 10 impulses at one time, and the second is adapted to transmit impulse series of 25 impulses.
  • a cup-shaped base member 7, best seen in Figs. 3 and 4, is provided with an opening in the center, and with two projections and 51, which serve for fastening the regular dial 1 shown in Fi 1.
  • This base member 7 is also provided. wit three holes, two of which are shown at 52 and 53. These holes serves for attachin to the base 7 a ring 38 which forms one hal of a ball bearing assembly.
  • the ring 38 is attached to the base 7 b means of the screws 52' and 53' shown in ig. 4.
  • balls 43 On the outside of this rin 38 are provided balls 43, which are covered y a ring 35.
  • the ring is movably secured to the ring 38 b means of a cover ring 39 which is fastene to the ring 38 by means of screws 40.
  • the cover rin 39 is providedwith a rojection 41.
  • the finger plate 3 is provised with a flange 42 which overlaps the pro'ection 41 of the cover rin 39.
  • e finger plate 3 is attac ed to the ring 35 by means of screws 5. It will therefore be seen, that, if the finger plate 3 is rotated, the ring 35 with its flange 36 will, be rotated around the ring 38 which is attached to the base 7. The enterin of dust into the ball bearing is prevented iy the flange 42 of the finger late 3 which overlaps the pro ect1on 41 of tiie cover ring 39.
  • the bearin ring 35 is provided with a flange 36.
  • the periphery of this flange 36 is provided with teeth, as is best seen in Fig. 3.
  • Attached to the base 7 are bearings 33 which hold a ear wheel 28 rotatable around the axis 34.
  • This gear wheel 28 meshes with the gear 36 provided on the flange of the bearing ring 35. Therefore, when the finger plate 3 is rotated, the gear wheel 28 will rotate in an opposite direction to the rotation of the finger plate 3.
  • the front view will be explained a little more fully with reference to Figs. 1 and 4. It will be seen that the base 7 has its edge 64 turned in slightly to provide a holding for the number plate 6, which carries the numerals 1 to 25 visible through the finger holes in the plate 3.
  • the description as presented above will be suflicient for furnishing an understanding of the front part of the calling device and of the main driving mechanism including the bearing and the operation of the gear wheel 28
  • Attached to the back of the base member 7 are two mounting posts designated 8 and 10.
  • Them mounting fposts carry a mounting plate 12 which is a 9 and 11.
  • the plate 12 can be removed from the rest of the assembly by means of the screws 9 and 11 and carries the following mechanism:
  • a bracket 13 carries the impulse spring assembly 44, which is rovided with terminals 62 and 63 for attac ing the necessary conductors to the impulse springs.
  • the worm gear 21 will be rotated through the action of the dial and will 0 erate the worm shaft 15 and the usual fl all governor.
  • the impulse cam 19 whic is also attached to the same shaft as the worm gear will thereby be rotated and will operate the impulse springs 44.
  • a spiral s ring 47 Secured to the plate 12 is one end of a spiral s ring 47, the attachment being shown in Big. 2 at 65.
  • the other end of the spiral spring 47 is attached to a washer 48 which is firmly secured to a shaft 24 protruding through the plate 12 and carrying at its other end the gear wheel 25.
  • This gear wheel 25 meshes with the gear 28.
  • the action of the spiral spring 47 will therefore tend to act u on the finger plate 3 through the gear w eels 25 and 28 which are meshed to the peripheral gear 36 on the flange of the bearing ring 35. WVhen the finger plate 3 is moved off normal the spring 47 will be tensioned, and, when the finger plate is released. the tension of the spring 47 will move the finger plate back to normal position.
  • Rotatably mounted on the shaft 24 which carries the gear wheel 25, is a member which carries a gear wheel 26 and a ratchet 27.
  • the gear wheel 26 meshes with the cog wheel 22 operating the worm gear 21.
  • Attached to the gear wheel 25 is a pawl 29 which engages the ratchet 27 and is maintained in this tendency by a spiral spring 30.
  • t e plate 12 Rotatable around a pin 59 which is attached to the base 7 is a clutch bracket 31.
  • This clutch bracket has projections 32 and 32, and a clutch arm 31.
  • the projection 32 extends throu' h an opening 58 in the base 7,
  • a control device for automatic telephone substations comprising a circular main sup porting shell having a central opening, an impulse transmitting mechanism mounted in said opening equipped with a finger hole dial within the opening,-and a separate impulse transmitting mechanism equipped with a finger hole dial surrounding said opening.
  • a control device for signalling systems comprising a plurality of independently operable impulse generating mechanisms mounted centrally one within the other on a common circular supporting base and forming a common surface plane, the capacity of each mechanism with respect to the generation of impulses responsive to a single actuation increasing with its distance from the center.
