Abstract
An Electric Dispatcher switching system is actuated by an electric clock mechanism and is designed to set in motion automatically, either simultaneously or consecutively, and to stop in the same way, a number of electric appliances or machines. The Electric Dispatcher comprises concentric circles of connecting structure energized by the rotating commutator arm of an electric clock having permanent magnets or gliders fixed on the commutator arm. Electric current is distributed through the connector structure to an electric wire system connected to technical equipment of a factory or institution in conformity with a time table previously dialed on a sectorized dial plate of the Electric Dispatcher.
Claims6
An Electric Dispatcher or Electric Kaleidoscope switching assembly with magnets for controlling the timing of one minute luminous advertising, luminous displays or other electrically actuated apparatus, the settable and resettable one minute switching system comprising:
- a source of electric energy,
- a programmable electric clock means for connecting said source to the displays and for controlling the operation of the displays or of other electrically actuated apparatus, the programmable electric clock means further comprising:
- (a) a housing means having a clock box compartment and electric program timing connector means compartments disposed in three levels,
- (b) said electric program timing connector means compartments having two ledges on said housing means,
- (c) a rotatable commutator arm connector activating means detachably mounted to a clockshaft above an electric grate means,
- (d) an electric grate means connected to said source of energy supported by the upper ledge of the housing means and consisting of concentric metal rings united by transversal bars, and a sectorized time unit cylindrical plate supporting connector timing means,
- (e) said connector timing means mounted in concentric circles on said sectorized time unit plate, said connector timing means consisting of an unmovable part screwed to the underlying plate, and a movable part attached by a hinge to the unmovable part and lying reversed over the unmovable part,
- (f) rotation of said rotatable commutator arm connector activating means across any sector of the concentric circles of connector means causing the energizing of unbarred electrical connector means with said grate means, thereby activating desired displays or the like.
One-day, one-hour or one-minute Electric Dispatcher switching assemblies with glider means and connector timing means for controlling the simultaneous or consecutive operation of the technical equipment of factories or institutions, the Electric Dispatchers being activated by one-day, one-hour or one-minute electric clock means, the Electric Dispatchers switching system comprising:
- a source of electric energy,
- a programmable electric clock means for connecting said source to the technical equipment of factories of institutions and for controlling the simultaneous or consecutive operation of said equipment, the programmable electric clock means further comprising:
- (a) a housing means having a clockbox compartment and an electric program timing connector means compartment,
- (b) the electric program timing connector means compartment having one ledge on the housing means,
- (c) a sectorized time unit cylindrical plate mounted on said ledge supporting concentric circles of connector timing means,
- (d) a rotatable commutator arm detachably mounted to the clockshaft of the electrical clock means, said rotatable commutator arm being connected to said source of electric energy, said rotatable commutator arm having glider means with chainlet brushes designed to slide above the circles of unfolded connector timing means to energize said connector timing means,
- (e) said connector timing means consisting of an immovable part screwed to the underlying sectorized time unit plate and a foldable movable part, attended by a hinge to the immovable part,
- (f) rotation of said rotatable commutator arm with glider means across any sector of the concentric circles of connector timing means causing the energizing of the unfolded electrical connector timing means.
