Definitions

  • the present invention relates to improvements in and relating to telecommunication systems, and more particularly to an imr proved method of and apparatus for twoway communication over a single circuit common to both directions of transmission.
  • the exchange of signals is generally effected by means of a system called the 4- wire system, and in order to establish a twoway communication between two stations A and B, two separate circuit-s are employed, the one used for transmission from A towards B and the other used for transmission from B towards A.
  • the use of two separate circuits is necessary because the one-way ampifiers arranged in each of the circuits can m3 o nly transmit the current in ⁇ a single direction, but the exchange of signals or conversations never taires place simultaneously in the two directions and the two circuits are thus never traversed simultaneously by the 5 communication currents.
  • the present invention has for object to provide a telecommunication system in which the exchange of signals is effected over a ,L5 single circuit common to both directions of transmission and employing single-Way aniplifiers,wherein the above stated disadvantages are overcome.
  • the amplifiers or repeating means along the line are each controlled by means of a communicating device or the like, so that their direction of transmission is continuously reversed, at predetermined intervals of time, to set the line alternately for transmission in cach direction of communication, the reversals or altei'nations following one another with a frequency high enough to permit of the correct transmission of a vocal emission or signal element coming from either one of the stations.
  • each amplifier is then set by means of a suitable control device to transmit only in the appropriate direction for the cpmmunication, and when the latter stops, t ie tinuously reverse the directionof transmission of the line, until another communication current is sent out from one of the stations.
  • the reversals of the direction of transmission of the amplifiers are not stopped immediately, but continue for a certain interval of time so as not to lose the first parts of the speech during the operation of the direction-controlling means.
  • a particularly suitable frequency for the reversals of the amplifiers has been found to be 500 per second. Duringthis'time, therefore, the amplifiers still transmit alternately in both directions, thefrequency of the reversal 'being such that speech currents from either station Will be transmitted and heard.
  • All the amplifiers may be controlled in synchronism, in such a manner that Vall the sections of the circuit are controlled together to transmit alternately in each direction of communication,
  • Fig. 1 is a general view of an. amplifying station acco'rding'tothe invention.
  • Fig. 2 is a detailed view of part ol' the commutatin'g device.
  • the two sections ofy the transmission line are represented atl() and 11, 12 being the line amplifier and 14 and 15' two deteetor-ampliers co-operating witl two electro-magnets 1li and 17.
  • 13 is the commutating device according to the invention in which 27 isthe connnutating cyliiuler, 22 the commutator brushes, 2B and 24 contacts connected to the line 10-11, and 25 conducting rings individually numbered'l to 6 startingl from the top.
  • ⁇ 19 is the commutator collector, 20thje collector brushes connected to the input terminal'sfof the amplifier 12 and 21 the collector brushes connect-ed to the output terminals of the amplier.
  • ⁇ 18 is an electric motor for driving the commutating devices and 26 controlling ⁇ devices for displacing the cylinder 27.
  • the conducting rings 25 and the contacts 23 and 24 are located within the hollow cylinder 27, on its inner surface, and four movable brushes 22 rotate ⁇ about the Vaxis of the cylinder and wipe over the contacts 23 and 24.
  • These brushes 22 Vare respectively conn ⁇ ected,'as ⁇ shown', to the fourvrings provided onthev collector 19, which is mounted on the saine a-Xis as the commutating cylinder 27, and the terminals of the line amplifier 12 are connected to brushes 20 and 21 wiping over the collector rings.
  • the line amplifier 12 is thus connected, dur-V ing the rotation of the brushes 22 of the. com-Y mutator, to transmit alternately in each d tion of transmission.
  • the cylinder 27 can be displaced longitudinally, in eitherdirection along its axis, so that in the displacement'represented by a downward movement in the drawing, the rings 1, 2, 4 and 5 are brought into contact with their corresponding brushes 22, and in the corresponding upward movement the rings 2, 3, 5 and 6 are brought into contact with the brushes.
  • the displacements of the cylinder 27 are effected by the controlling ⁇ devices 2.6 lwhich are themselves operated by the detector-amplifiers 14 and 15, according to the direction of transmission over line 10, 11.
  • the controlling device 26 associated with and operated by the detector-amplilicr 14 causes the cylinder 27 to be displaced so as to bring the rings 'l 2, 4 and 5 opposite their corresponding brushes.
  • the side 10 is thus connected Vto the input terminals of the line amplifier 12 and the side 11 to its output terminals.
  • the detector-amplider 15 is put out oi" action by operation ot the corresponding); clectromagnet 1.7 by signals received 'in the detector-amplilier 14 Jfrom the line ll).
  • the comn'iutating cylinderl 27 is returned to its original position and the amplilier 12 is .again connected to transmit alternately in tee two directions.
  • the connnutating cylinder 27 is displaced in the opposite directionto that above vand the detector-aniplilier 14 is put out of action by operation tft the corresponding electromagnet 1G.
  • the contacts 23, 24 will be connected permanently to the rings 1-6, as indicated in Fig. 2 and in the simplest possible construction the contacts will consist ot' rings extending over a semi-circlev mounted on the drum 27.' ln vthe case or a plurality of contacts, they will be connected to the appropriate ring alternately.
  • the number of contacts employed Will obviously depend to a' certain extent upon the 'frequency of' alternations desired, which frequency must be high enough to permit of the current transmission of a vocal emission or signal element.
  • This frequency a suitable value of which is found to be 500 per second, is selected in order that the interruption at the commencement of any vtransmission due to the persistence of Vploying synchronous the alternatious may take place sufficiently not supas the sending of a synchronizing current can then be effected under the control station.
