Abstract: 9738. Roschanek, O. April 21, 1913, [Convention date] Index hands and pointers.-Relates to means for actuating external index hands according to movements within a fluid-tight chamber, but without use of stuffing-boxes &c., described as applied to a pressure gauge. The pressure difference between fluids which have access to the gauge by connexions 3, 4 is determined by the displacement of a flexible diaphragm 2, strengthened by plates 5 and constrained by being connected to one end of a rod 7, of which the other end is secured to and closes a tube 9 actuating by link-work an index hand 10. Movements of the diaphragm are thus accompanied by a bending of the rod and tube and are communicated to the index hand in a fluid-tight manner without employment of stuffing-boxes. Fig. 2 shows a modification in which the attachment to the diaphragm is near its periphery, projections 11 enforcing a leverlike action of the diaphragm. In other forms, the tube is bent back upon itself, or a virtual extension of its length is obtained by arranging several tubes concentrically one within the other, with connexions at alternate ends; or the diaphragm may be arranged to produce a torsional movement of the rod and tube. In one form, the diaphragm is connected to the midpoint of the rod, the ends of which are secured to separate tubes.

Filed: 1914-05-23
Abstract: 12,690. Gilbreth, F. B. May 23, 1913, [Convention date]. Void. [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Drawings to Specification. Kinematograph apparatus.-A method of studying and standardizing the motion of objects, such as a workman's hands or parts of a machine or other mechanically-actuated device, consists in taking a photograph of an incandescent lamp or other illuminable substance fixed to the moving object. Preferably, intermittent lights controlled by intermittently-acting contact devices are used, so that by counting the breaks in the path of the light and knowing the speed of operation of the contact device, the time occupied in the operation may be determined. When the movements of two or more parts are to be observed, differently timed contact devices are used in the circuits of the different lights. The intervals between the flashes may be increased or diminished as the operation progresses, and the flashes may be of variable intensity so as to avoid confusion between crossing or proximate parts of the cycle and to indicate direction. The film or plate or the background may be graduated as a means for measuring the movements. In the case of complicated movements, the film may be moved continuously or as in a moving - picture apparatus to expose successive portions, the known time of movement of the film indicating the time occupied in the parts of the operation recorded. Stereoscopic photographs are preferably taken. The incandescent lamps may be replaced by a reflecting-crystal illuminated from a suitably-situated source of light, or by a fluorescent substance acted on by ultra-violet or invisible rays from an arc or other light, the remaining rays being absorbed by a screen. The apparatus may be used for studying the effects of incentives, drugs, foods, stimulants, and fatigue on the operator, and the causes of mental and physical phenomena.
