.To @Zt/whom t my; comm:
Be it known that I, WILLIAM H., MARTIN, residing at New. York, in the county of Bronx and State of New York, have in-.k
vented certain Improvements in Signaling,
of which the following is a specification.
This invention rotates to signaling and is described herein with particular reference to methods of and means for transmitting and receiving ringing si nals in telephone transmission systems, alt iough itsl application isy 'd available as an additinahtelegraph or other not limited to such s stems.
In l present day te epli'one and telegraph` practice, it is customary 'to provideka-transmission system with a plurality' oflchannels each. of which serves to transmit current independently' of the others. Iuterferencevbetween the various channelsA is prevented by employing for each, different frequencies ory haiids of frequencies andapparatus selectively responsive thereto., The frequency `range is thus divided into 'a number ,of levels and a separate transmission channel is pro-y 1 vided for each frequency level. Two of the channels used in telephone practice are the Avoice channei and ther-inging-channel, the` i frequency level of the latter being generally below that off the former. In present usualI practice, for example, the ringin currents have ia frequency of 135 cycles, w `creas the. components` of 'the voice current have yfre-- quencies varying from about 300 to 2000 cycles@ V .arrangemcntnecasitates at repeater and similar' installations the provision of To prevent false operation of the signal-f t apparatus by the voice currents, I prop to employ s plurality of signaling currents differing in uency and to so arrange the signal apparatus that the same respon s only when the `said currents are appliedl to` `the line in, certain predetermined sequence.7 Interference withthe voice channel appart tusby the ringing `currents need not lbe termina comi Tnection to apply current from the, generators separate repeating or relaying apparatus for fto the line.
'tion of the arrow the operator ma ycause the signaling channel, th'us enhancing the commercial eliciency of thel transmission system.
.A good understanding ofthe invention may now be had by reference to the following description, having reference to the ac- A companying drawing, showing inf diagrammatic view a specific form and arrangement of circuits embodying the invention.
l `In this drawing reference character L desi ates a -transmission line associated Ywith which at its left end is shown a signal,
transmitting device, and at .its right end, a signal receiving device. The transmitting device comprises a switch S having a contact arm5 adapted to co-o rate with contact se ents 1, 2, 3 and 4, insulated from each en't fre uencies of current designated f1f2 and fs, ave one terminal connected to Isegments 1 2 and 3, respectively, and the other to the lcontact arm 5, a transformer 6 being interposed in this con-4 y turning arm 5 in the direcconsecutive flow of .currents of uencies f1, f3 and f, from the transmitting to the receiving station.
The signal receiving device comprises an amplifier A1hemin shown as consistin of a plurality of electron tubes. vRelays R2 and R, are associated with the output circuit of theuamplifier and rendered selectively responsive to frequencies f1, f, and A, respectively, by means of resonant circuits. comprising inductances L1, L12, L, and condensers C1, C, and 0 `respectively, R1, R, and
Ra givern the normally open circuit. of a relay which in turn verns the circuit .of a si al device herein own as an annunciator y To signal from. the transmitting to the receiving station, theoperator turns contact erinA 5 in ,the direciion eiche arrow, As this erin bridges conteo@` segment i, con rent of liii'equrnuy f1 rions over iine L into he lnmpiier A, whereby it is eugmeneefi end caused to operneetiie reiey R1.
