Abstract: 22,065. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. Oct. 6. Intergrating.-A fluid-velocity meter of the type described in Specification 22,804/09, [Class 54, Gas distribution], is provided with an integrating-mechanism in order to register the total flow or consumption of steam or other fluid passing through a pipe. The integrating- mechanism comprises a n actuating - lever which is operated periodically to actuate the numeral disks, and has means connected to the moving member of the meter, whereby the extent of the movement of the actuating-lever can be varied in accordance with the positions taken up by the said member. The moving member of the meter is attached by pivoted levers to a swinging- arm 12, which has a recording-pen 14 attached at its lower end and is also provided with a cam-surface or stop-arm 38 on which rests the nose 39 of a pivoted arm 31. This arm has a roller 34 which is adapted to engage a clock-driven cam 35, and is thereby rocked to actuate a lever 28 connected to a friction clutch 24, 25 of a counting - device. The position of the stop-arm 38 is regulated by the amount of the flow and limits the movement of the pivoted arm 31, and in the position when no fluid is flowing the roller 34 is held free of the clock-driven earn. At the instant when the nose strikes the stop-arm, a locking- device is set to prevent displacement of the swinging-arm. This device comprises a pivoted lever 40 having at one end a sharp edge 42 adapted to engage small teeth cut on an arm 43 attached to the swinging arm, and provided at the other end with a roller engaging a cam 45, arranged so that engagement takes place during each alternate quarter of a revolution of the clock-driven shaft 18.
