Title: Improvements in Compensating Pendulums.
Inventor: ECAUBERT FREDERIC
IPC: G04B17/22
Filed: 1909-12-17
Granted: 1910-12-01
Abstract: 29,589. Ecaubert, F. Dec. 17. Pendulums.-In a pendulum which is compensated for changes in temperature for the purpose of enabling the compensating-effect and the speed of oscillation to be adjusted independently, one of the members by which the main weight is supported consists of an adjustable rod, extending in the direction of the length of the pendulum, and composed of two portions, joined end to end, which are made of metals having different coefficients of expansion. In one form of the invention, Fig. 2, the compound rod E is screw-threaded and the upper part, which is made of steel (for example) engages with the main weight G, while the lower part, which may be of brass, engages with a rotatable threaded sleeve T mounted in the lower cross-bar D of a known form of compensating-device. The ratio of the pitches of the two portions of the screwed rod E is inversely as the coefficients of expansion of the respective metals employed. In order to alter the speed of oscillation of the pendulum without affecting the compensation adjustment when once this has been correctly made, the sleeve T is clamped in the bar D, and the rod is turned, thereby raising or lowering the weight, the requisite proportions of the two metals in the effective length P Q of the compound rod being automatically maintained. A nut F is provided to allow for the displacement of the rod E. In another form, the pitch of the screwed rod is uniform throughout its length; in this case, the speed of oscillation may be altered by adding weights to or removing them from the pendulum bob. Fig. 3 shows a modification in which the main weight G is supported on a nut W screwed upon a compound rod E which is adjustable in the tubular lower end of the suspension rod C of the pendulum.
