No. 13965.—31st August, 1901.—ANDRÉ GOLDSCHMIDT, of 73, Rue Caumartin, Paris, France, Civil Engineer. A continuous and automatic electro-hydraulic brake.

Claims.—(1.) A continuous hydraulic brake electrically operated, in which the energy required for the braking is taken by means of a compression pump from the impelling-power of the vehicle in motion, and characterized by a brake-cylinder 3 communicating by means of a valve b electrically operated with the forcing-channel q of the compression pump, in combination with a pipe 1 leading from the valve b to the channel q, on which pipe is arranged at the side of the channel q a stop-valve z, and on a branching of which pipe moves a piston 2 submitted to the action of a spring h, said piston and said spring being utilised during the loosening of the brakes as elastic means for transmitting to the brake-piston 8 the liquid under pressure confined in the communication-pipe 1, and the greatest part of said liquid under pressure remaining disposable in said pipe when the valve b is closed for the loosening. (2.) In an electro-hydraulic brake, according to claim 1, an arrangement in the communication-pipe 1 of the elastic medium for transmitting the energy constituted by the piston 2 and the spring h, in which arrangement the rod 7 of said piston 2 is in the prolongation of the axis of the suction- and forcing-valves (l and m) of the compression pump, so as to automatically lift up said valves for the liberating of the pump when the liquid in the communication-pipe 1 has reached a determined pressure. (3.) In an electro-hydraulic brake, according to claim 1, the arrangement on the forcing-channel q of the compression pump and behind the stop-valve z, of a discharge-valve a electrically operated communicating with the reservoir for liquid k, and enabling the engine-driver to produce a liberating of the pump—that is to say, its free operating without absorption of energy—whatever may be the pressure of the liquid contained in the communication-pipe 1 between the pump and the brake-cylinder.
