Definitions
- Example 11 is a diagram showin g the relative positions of the different parts'of ⁇ an approved form of apparatus, including a combination of circuits.
- the intelligence can be transmitted and imprinted onpaper or other ⁇ suitable substance without requiring the aid or any known generator of galvanisin or electricity, a galvanic or electric circuit composed of any known conductors of electricity, a portrule and signal-lever or other contrivanoe for closing and breaking the circuit, al1 in combination with an electro-magnet or device by which the .motive power of the electric or galvanic current, which I call electromagnetism, may be developed and applied to give motion to other machinery for the purpose of marking' or imprinting intelligible characters, signs, or letters at any distances.
- the con duetors may be suspended in the air upon pos'ts or otherwise, or buried in the ground, being always well insulated at the posts or inA the ground.
- Fig. 2 where'D indicates the battery; a a, the circuit; E, the 'port-rule; B, the signal-lever, andV C the electro-magnet.
- the leJer may be couuterbalanced by a weight or its equivalent, as at C, to make it move easily.
- the types are setup and confined -in a rule to form any required sentences in one long line.
- This rule demominated in the drawings, leirample S, a type-rule, has on its under side a rack that gears into a pinion, on a shaft under the grooved railways D, of common construction, o'n which said rule slides,and is directed underthe cog bien the lever.
- the types are advanced at a regular speed by the application of any convenent'power to the pinion and bring the @@hes or raised and depressed parts successively under the cog b.
- the merc l f y-cupsnay be Adispensed with, and any othl convenient metallic contact be made 'to acqiign-plish the same end, and the closing and'f-breaking of the circuit may be et'- fected by applying the hand or any other machinery to the signal-lever, or by any other mode adapted to the same end.
- the closing 'of the circuit by the depression of the signallever causes the'electric current to run upon the circuit a a, example 11, Fig. 2, and through the helices of the electro-magnet C, which is thus charged with powerto move any machinery which may be connected with it in a ⁇ proper manner.
- the second part of my invention consists of a register for recording the characters, signs or letters transmitted from any distance, an is composed of the following parts in combination, viz: I A bent lever, A, as shown most distinctly in example 10 Fig. ⁇ 4. To one arm of this lever there is attached one or more pencils, fountain-pens, or othery suitable marking-instruments,]3, directly under which is placed a.
- a 'reel or spool, d is placed, on which a strip of paperor other markable material is wound, the end of which is carried over the cylinder D, and is confined thereon by. means of two tapes and endless se't in motion.
- ⁇ To the register may be attached Van alarmbell, as shown in example 1U, Fig. 5, the ma-l chinery for striking which may bc variously modiiied,'and thereforeneed not be described.
- the register or second part of my invention is operated upon by the first part yin the following manner, rv ⁇ viz':
- the short end of the penlever in the second'part, as seen in example 10, Fig. 4, is anarmatnre, f, which is brought in proximity to the electro-magnet C in the, circuit a a, as shown in example il, Fig.2, and in example 10, Fig. 4.
- the electro-magnet C being charged byelosing the circuit, attracts the armature, bringing it nearly in contact,
- My system of characters consists of dots, spaces, and lines variously combined to form letters and other characters, a specimen of which is represented in examples 1, 2, and 3.4
- a notch or indentation- is required in the types, into which the cogy or toothpon the signal-lever will fall and instantly rise from as the types move onwalldi and when aline is to be formed on the paper at the register as a sign'v the notch in the type is extended, so that the lever will remain down for a space Aof time sniiicient to make the line required.
- the alarm-bell ' (shown at A, example 1U,
- Fig. 5 may be struck bymeans of a hammer actuated by a supplementaryelectromagnet placed in the same circuit as thatiirst named.
- registers and registering-stations may be connected with the same circuit, all constructed and operating as above described.
- I adopt the following arrangement, whereby I can use any number of additional batteries orgcnerators of elec tricity, and by which I can connect progressively any number of consecutive circuits, viz: I place at any point in the rst circuit an electro-magnet, and opposite its poles I place an armature on a lever like that described for registering; but instead of using the said lever tomark with', I usc it to close and break' i is used to'clzose-and break. the first circuit.
- the second 'circuit has an independent 4ba'ttery, and may be used to work aregister or other apparatus for registering, or to close and break a thiidcircuit, or both, and thus Aby a combination of circuits the requisite'. power 'can be obtained at any distances ad infin itu m.
