Abstract:
1. A submersible assemblage comprising: an electrical cable having first and second ends; an electrical connector attached to the first end; a cylindrical housing attached to the second end of the cable, the housing having an open end displaced from the second end of the cable, the housing defines an interior region; a ring carried in the interior region of the housing, the ring having an annular shape, and a molded radial member which extends inwardly from the annular ring, the member carries an elongated, radially extending strain gauge-type transducer structure, the structure having a free end with a centered opening; a movable pressure plate that slidably engages the opening and is axially movable, relative to the ring, in response to applied fluid pressure; a diaphragm located adjacent to the pressure plate, the diaphragm closes the open end of the housing whereby the housing is water tight, and wherein the housing defines an exterior annular support surface wherein the ring carries control circuitry, coupled to the transducer to produce a first signal when the pressure plate moves in one direction, relative to the ring and a different signal when the pressure plate moves in the opposite direction relative to the ring.
