Patent GB-190915292-A (GB)
Title: Pneumatic Apparatus for Indicating and Recording the Speed of Vehicles.
Inventor: SALES GEORGES DE ROUSSY DE
IPC: G01P3/28
Filed: 1909-06-30
Granted: 1910-03-17
Abstract: 15,292. Sales, G. de R. de, and Grimaud, F. E. June 30. Signals, pneumatic.-In speed indioators of the type in which a piston or collapsible vessel, controlled by a vehicle-driven pump, operates the indicating-means, the speed is shown as lying within one of several speed groups, and the change from one group indication to the adjoining one is effected suddenly. The spring- influenced piston 7, Fig. 1, subjected to the pressure from the pump 1, is connected by a hollow rod 8 with the indicator 13 which may consist of a disk having differently coloured sectors or of a cylinder having longitudinal coloured strips. The rod is provided at intervals with air outlets 8<a>, 8<b>, 8<c>, so that as the speed increases and the amount of air pumped into the cylinder 6 exceeds that which can escape through one outlet the piston is forced along until the next aperture is exposed also. In a modification, a suction pump and a collapsible bellows are employed, the latter having a stationary hollow rod provided with apertures which are successively uncovered or coverea by the collapse or inflation of the bellows. In another arrangement, shown in Fig. 5, the sudden movements of the piston are effected by automatically-operated valves f, n, which cause sudden changes of pressure in the cylinder when the speed groups are to be altered. A suction pump is connected to the cylinder by the pipe 5b and the valve f is normally open. When the speed has increased sufficiently, the inward movement of the piston causes an arm m to depress one end of the lever i and so to close the valve f. The consequent sudden fall in pressure produces a rapid movement of the piston, and the indicating-disk rotates to show the next speed group. When the speed diminishes, the valve n is similarly operated by means of pawls r on the sector 10<a> in order to effect the quick movements of the piston.
