Title: Improvements in or relating to a gauge for indicating the weight of the liquid contents of a tank
IPC: G01F23/36
Filed: 1949-02-03
Abstract: 660,224. Liquid level indicator. LIQUIDOMETER CORPORATION. Feb. 3, 1939. [Aug. 12, 1948] No. 2987/49. Class 40 (i). [Also in Groups XVIII and XIX] In order that a liquid level gauge operating in a tank may be calibrated in units of weight instead of units of volume and remain accurate in its weight calibration during changes of volume with change of temperature, a float operated gauge is provided with a temperature responsive element to apply the necessary compensation. The gauge comprises a float 16 in a tank 10, a float arm 18 pivoted at 20, and connected by levers 26, 42, to an arm 46 pivoted at 48 and having a contact sliding on an arcuate resistance strip 50. The strip 50 is pivoted at 52, which is the zero position of the arm 46, and is connected at its other end by a link 54 to the lower end of a Bourdon tube 56 anchored at 58 and connected by a capillary tube 60 to a thermometer bulb 62 in the bottom of the tank. Variations of temperature cause corresponding movement of the Bourdon tube 56 as shown by broken line, which causes movement of the resistance strip 50, shortening or lengthening path of travel of the contact arm 46 as necessary to maintain a constant indication of weight on the dial 68 regardless of any changes of volume of the liquid in the tank with expansion or contraction due to temperature change. Fig. 2 shows a modification in which the position of the arcuate resistance strip 50 is varied as before, but in this case, a bellows 80 responsive to temperature changes of the bulb connected to the capillary tube 60 effects movement of the resistance strip by means of the linkage 94, 96, the resistance strip pivoting about the zero point 52 as before.

Abstract: 211,334. Parker, H. F. Feb. 6, 1923. Aerostats; framework.-The framework of the gas envelope of an airship comprises a series of rigid longitudinal members and flexible connections arranged so that when the container is inflated the connections are placed in tension, thereby preventing relative movement of the longitudinals and forming a rigid framework. The framework may be divided into a series of connected rigid bays each containing a gas cell. the longitudinal members being articulated between the bays. In the construction shown, three longitudinals 1, 2, 3 are arranged triangularly with the apex of the triangle pointing downwards. Bracing wires 4, 5, 6 connecting the longitudinals divide the framework into bays which are bounded at each end by tie wires 7, 8, 9. The longitudinals consist of lattice girders articulated between the bays by means of hinges d, Fig 6, placed on their interior faces. According to modified constructions, the longitudinals may be articulated between the bays by means of universal joints or thin metal plates. The framework may be constructed of steel. The gas cells 10, which are located substantially within the framework, are of trefoil form and are surrounded by network comprising transverse and longitudinal wires 11, 12, or, alternatively, bulging may be prevented by substituting for the transverse wires 11, transverse fibres in the gas cell envelopes. An outer cover 13 is also provided, spaced from the cells 10 by longitudinal webs 14, air under pressure being introduced into the space. The shape of the gas cells may also be maintained in known manner by means of an inflatable ballonet placed in the lower part of the envelope. Modifications are described in which the gas cells are divided (1) into three separate portions constituted by the two lower lobes, and the upper lobe and central portion combined, or (2) into four separate portions constituted by the three lobes and the central portion. In these modifications a fabric curtain is stretched across the bottom of the envelope and attached to the side cells. The load may be carried directly by or suspended from the framework. The framework may be connected at the forepart to a nose reinforcement and at the rear to a rigid tail section. Transverse bulk heads may also be provided to assist the gas cells in taking pressure loads. A modification is described in which the framework is constructed with the apex of the triangle at the top. In this case the netting 11, 12 need not extend below the base longitudinals.
