Abstract:
1. A measuring device assembly comprising: a bracket member; a condition responsive element mounted with respect to the bracket member, the condition responsive element including an element inlet and an output end configured to produce motion in response to condition changes: (i) received at the element inlet and (ii) to which the condition responsive element is sensitive; and a coupler member having a first end and a second end, the first end mounted with respect to the output end of the condition responsive element via a pin member and the second end mounted with respect to a crank pin of a crank assembly, the coupler member configured and dimensioned to communicate correlated but amplified angular motion of the condition responsive element to a rotatable crank body of the crank assembly for operating an indicator relative to condition changes on a dial face; wherein at least a portion of the crank pin defines a first longitudinal axis and at least a portion of the crank body defines a second longitudinal axis; and wherein the span or degrees of indicator rotation is adjusted by changing the distance between the first longitudinal axis and the second longitudinal axis.
