Definitions

  • This invention relates to signaling systems and particularly to systems comprising electromagnetic signal receiving means.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a more sensitive electromagnetic signal receiving means and to insure the accurate response of such a means to incoming signals under wider limits of line resistance, line insulation, and line capacity.
  • the present invention is a new and improved circuit arrangement in which the impulse relay is polarized and has a plurality of windings, one winding being connected in combination with a condenser so as to increase the limits of line resistance, line insulation, and line capacity within which the relay will satisfactorily respond to signal impulses and to insure the response of the selective device which is to be set in accordance with the impulses received.
  • One feature of the invention is a signal receiving means comprising a polarized signal receiving relay having one winding connected in series with a line, for responding to signals constituting the opening and closing or" the line by a signal sender, and a second winding connected in series with a condenser and in combination with the winding of a slow-to-release auxiliary relay which operatively associates the signal receiving relay with a signal register.
  • the condenser When the signal receiving relay releases, the condenser is charged through the winding of the auxiliary relay and a winding of the signal receiving relay, the charging current being effective to hold the signal'receiving relay released for a short interval of time; and when the signal receiving relay operates, the condenser is discharged through the winding of the signal receiving relay, the current being effectiveto hold the signal receiving relay operated for a short interval of time.
  • the condenser charging current also helps to hold the auxiliary relay operated during the time that the signal receiving relay is released.
  • the contact springs of the polarized signal receiving relay are preferably held in normal position by a biasing winding. A biasing spring may, however, be used in place of the biasing winding.
  • A represents a subscribers station in an automatic telephone system and IR represents impulse receiving means.
  • the apparatus at station A includes a dial "1215 or an equivalent impulse sender, and is connected by line I I to a central ofiice or exchange in which automatic switching equipment is provided for establishing a connection between the line I l and an idle impulse receiving means IR in response 20 to the removal of the receiver at station A to originate a call.
  • the impulse receiving means IR may be used to directly control in succession each of a train of selective switches to complete a desired connection or may be used to operate a register which thereafter controls the various switches through which a desired connection is established.
  • the impulse receiving means IR comprises a polarized impulse receiving relay l3, a condenser i l, a slow-to-release relay I5, and a register or selector H.
  • the impulse relay I3 has three windings, the upper winding being connected, upon extension of the line H, to the impulse receiving means IR in a signaling circuit in series with the conductors of line H, the contacts of dial ID at the subscribers station, and in series with one winding of the dial tone transformer I 2.
  • the middle winding of relay is is a biasing winding for holding its contacts in the position shown in the drawing when the upper winding is deenergized, the biasing circuit being closed upon extension of a calling line to the impulse receiving means IR.
  • relay i3 The lower winding of relay i3 is connected in combination with the condenser M and slow-to-release relay it so as to insure the closure of the front contacts of relay i 3, in response to the closing of the signaling circuit between two successive dial impulses, for a long enough interval to prevent the release of relay l5 and allow time for the response of the register or selector.
  • relay i3 Upon the opening of the signaling circuit at the contacts of dial Hi to transmit the first impulse of a series, relay i3 begins to release, the opening of its front contacts causing the charging of condenser l through the lower winding of relay I3 and the winding of relay is. ihe charging current helps relay 5 to remain operated while relay I3 is released and is in such a direction through the lower winding of relay [3 as to aid its complete release and insure the back contacts of relay [3 remaining closed for an interval of time sufficient to cause the operation of the register, or selector, magnet I! in response to the dial impulse.
  • relay l3 When the signaling circuit is again closed at the contacts of dial l0, and the condenser charging current has ceased, relay l3 reoperates to again close the circuit for energizing relay l5 and to open the circuit for operating magnet 51.
  • the closing of the front contacts of relay 23 again causes the discharge of condenser l4 through the lower winding of relay l3, the current through this winding being in a direction to insure that the front contacts of relay l3 remain closed for an interval sufiicient to permit the functioning of the register or selector ll between succeeding impulses of a series.
  • the above described arrangement is one which corrects for too short an opening of the impulse circuit and which corrects for too short a closure of the impulse circuit between succeeding impulses of a series.
  • the arrangement is also one which does not require the use of an auxiliary impulse relay in addition to the usual slow-to--release relay for controlling the register, or selector, operating circuit, the sloW-to-release relay being connected so as to cooperate with the condenser 54 and lower win-ding of relay l3 to insure the accurate operation of the register in response to dial impulses.
