Abstract:

A restraining device that is mountable on a track, has an elongated member and an attachment mechanism connected to an end of the elongated member, to mount the member on a track. The elongated member has a tubular core with an upper end and a lower end and a tubular sleeve having an upper-end opening and a lower-end opening. The core is received within the sleeve such that the sleeve is axially movable relative to the core, and the upper end of the core is connected to the attachment mechanism through the upper-end opening of the sleeve. A spring provides spring-loading for the sleeve such that the upper end of the sleeve is urged against the track to resist motion of the elongated member on the track. The attachment mechanism has a mount for slidably mounting the elongated member on the track, and a pivoting joint connected between the elongated member and the mount, such that the pivoting joint allows the elongated member to be pivoted relative to the track.

Abstract:

In an improved cellular telephone network, which in the illustrated embodiment, is a roadside emergency callbox system, and in which each cellular callbox includes programmable circuitry for call progress processing, various tones transmitted in a telephone exchange are detected, decoded and responsively acted upon by the callbox according to program control. Each callbox is further capable of receiving and decoding DTMF tones from the telephone exchange to allow arbitary information, including alphanumeric information for local display at the callbox, to be received and interactively processed subject to on-site program control. Still further, each of the callboxes within the cellular network can be remotely programmed by a maintenance computer to call a newly designated telephone number in the event of activation of the callbox which can be utilized in the case of the need for extraordinary emergency response. Each callbox senses a plurality of operational conditions and status alarms which are reported periodically or in real time according to remote program control, including the option of remotely masking any alarm or reporting protocol.
