Definitions

  • Our invention relates to improvements in systems of communication, and more particularly tele-printers, tele-writers and the like.
  • the object of our invention is to provide an automatically operating return signaling device or indicator which becomes operative when a call is received and transmits a Signal to the calling subscriber.
  • This may in the simplest case consist of a. signal indicating readiness, but preferably a special signal identifying the called up subscriber will be transmitted, for instance, his name.
  • the return signaling device is in its mode of operation preferably adapted tothe tele-printer so that the return signal can be written down by the receiving apparatus of the calling subscriber.
  • An impulse transmitter of suitable construction is therefore employed, such as a transmitter for standard perforated paper tapes, or a step-by-step mechanism of the nature of dial selectors, or a contact mechanism with cam control.
  • the return signaling device is connected with a contact of the receiving relay in such a manner that said device is released by the relay as soon as the calling impulse arrives.
  • the receiving relay is preferably connected in such a way that its armature is operated once by the calling imdcpresses ⁇ a calling key 'whereupon at the' called station the armature ofthe receiving relay is reversed and the return signaling de vice or recorder rendered operative. It will be understood that instead of the key other means may be provided which start the return calling device automatically after the through connection has lbeen effected.
  • the return report is now Written down by the receiving apparatus of the calling subscriber so lthat this subscriber knows that he is correctly connected and that the station called up is ready to receive his message.
  • the return signaling device is then automatically rendered inoperative again and switches in the receiving apparatus at the called station if this should not already have been done by the calling impulse. No attendants whatever are thus needed at the called station.
  • these contacts are electrically connected with the signal transmitter serving ,for return signaling.
  • the arrangement is preferably such that during the return signaling the run of the control shaft depends upon the operation of the signal transmitter in such a manner ythat the signal transmitter controls the mechanism which releases the control shaft for one revolution at a time.
  • the contacts of the signal transmitter for instance the contact arms andcontacts of a dial selector of known design, the bank of contacts of which is wired in accordance with the return symbol or si nal.
  • a dial 0 ates, for instance, in such a manner that the receiving relaylof the called Asubscriber is first reversed by the calling impulse.
  • theV signal transmitter provided for the return Areport After switching in the motor theV signal transmitter provided for the return Areport performs its first step and releases the control shaft transmitter.
  • the signal transmitter and the control shaft of the main transmitter cooperate alternately by controlling each other alternately.
  • the return signaling device or indicator With the tele- 0 printer or tele-writer in a self-contained unit and, if desired, to use different switchgear in common. In many cases it is, however. preferable to use the return signaling device as a separate appliancewhich may be readily 35 connected with standard apparatus .and thus -ing itself from the called up line.
  • a further considerable simplification may be brought aboutby providing at the exchange station one or a plurality of return signaling devices for one group or all the lines combined and by using automatic switchgcar to effect the connection of a return indicator disengaged at the time.
  • the return signaling device After a connection has been made by dispatching series of current impulses in a well known manner the return signaling device is automatically switched in and transmits t'ne return signal, which may consist of the name of the town and the name or the numberof the called subscriber, to the receiver of the calling subscriber and then again renders itself automatically inoperative by disconnect- Simultaneously the line tothe called subscriber is connected through and is now ready for transmitting messages.
  • the return signaling device returns to the initial position of rest only after the two subscribers have been dis'connected.
  • Thestarting ofthe return signaling ,device in the case of outgoing 4tratiic is, however, impossible since the lswitchgear which initiates the operation of the naine transmitter is so arranged that it can be rendered operative by arriving current impulses only.

  • -F ig. 2 shows a. special construction for a 105 mechanically operating start-stop apparatus the contacts of which are controlled by cams or tappets,
  • Fig. 3 is a detail of the apparatus shown in i110 Fig. 2, and
  • Figs. 4, 5 and G' illustrate various systems of connection for the application of a return signaling device in tele-printer systems with selector operation.
  • various systems of the interlinking ofthe return signaling device with connecting apparatus, such as selectorsof exchanges, are shown in these v figures.
