Patent CA-2445425-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HOPFE HELMUT W
IPC: G01F15/02
Filed: 2003-10-17
Abstract: A temperature compensated fluid meter includes a temperature transducer with a bellows that expands and contracts. Movement of a rod attached to a movable end of the bellows is coupled to a transmission assembly which includes a cylinder and a cone that have a transfer ring mounted between them. The actuator rod is interconnected with the transfer ring to move it substantially linearly and continuously along the axis of the cylinder in response to changes in the temperature of the fluid being measured. This changes the speed of rotation of the cone with respect to the cylinder for a particular volume of fluid as the temperature of the fluid changes. A cone shaft in which the cone is mounted is interconnected with the compensated index within the register so as to substantially linearly and continuously cause the index to record a temperature compensated fluid volume. A pair of elastomeric expanders in the mounting assembly for the cylinder's shaft flex in response to a force exerted on the cone by a spring that biases the cone, mounted at an angle to the cylinder, toward the cylinder. The flexing of the elastomeric expanders minimizes the effects of discontinuities in the size and shape of the ring, the cylinder and the cone during their rotation. A register cover attached to the fluid meter has at least one side rib extending from a location adjacent each of a plurality of mounting holes in a mounting flange at an open end of the register cover. Radially extending closure ribs, corresponding to the side ribs, are located within the register cover and on a closed end of the cover and extend toward the center of the closed end. In some figures an end of each of the closure ribs is attached to a flange on the closure end of the register cover.

Title: Pressure regulator
Inventor: PORTER BILL
IPC: G05D16/06
Filed: 2002-08-14
Abstract: A variable device 10' for regulating the outlet pressure of a fluid from a valve body 15', includes a pressure-sensing chamber 60' having a wall formed by a resilient self-restoring diaphragm 20' which is responsive to pressure in the chamber 60'. A valve element 80' connected to the diaphragm 20' controls flow into the chamber 60'. Increased pressure in the chamber 60' decreases the flow into the chamber 60' and decreasing pressure increases flow whereby fluid flow out from the chamber 60' is maintained at a desired pressure. The outlet pressure is adjusted by deflecting the diaphragm 20' in a direction to open the valve while permitting a section of the diaphragm 20' connected to the valve member 80' to remain responsive to the pressure in the chamber 60'. An adjustment cover 150 is provided to adjustably deflect the diaphragm 20' and includes a catch mechanism 158 to allow adjustment of the fluid outlet pressures and also retain the device 10' at a desired value. An indicator arrangement 166 may be provided to visually indicate the fluid outlet pressure.
