Filed: 1934-09-15
Abstract: 431,667. Gas or liquid meters. ZACHARIASSEN, A., 2, Falstersvej, and PETERSEN, M. E., 13, Oster Farimagsgade, both in Copenhagen. Sept. 15, 1934, Nos. 26561, 26562, and 26563. Convention dates, Sept. 18, 1933, Sept. 3, 1934, and Sept. 3, 1934. [Classes 54 and 69 (ii)] Apparatus for measuring liquids or gases comprises two or more chambers for the fluid to be measured, and a bellows or like distensible member in each chamber, such bellows being connected in pairs directly or through conduits and filled with working liquid. In one form, chambers 1 ... 4, Fig. 2, each contain a bellows such as 5, Fig. 1, passages 9, 10 connecting the interiors of the bellows in adjacent compartments, 1, 2 and 3, 4 respectively, one bellows being fully expanded when the bellows to which it is connected is collapsed. One or both bellows of each pair is connected to a pivoted arm 14 and through linkwork to a crank 23 on a main shaft 24, the other being similarly connected to a crank 25 displaced by 90‹ relatively to the crank 23. The supply and delivery pipes 126, 28 for the fluid to be measured lead to chambers 26, 27, Fig. 3, connected under the control of valves 32, 33 through pipes 29 with the chambers 1 ... 4, and the valves are operated by cams on the shaft 24. The liquid used in the bellows may have a co-efficient of expansion equal to or bearing a definite ratio to that of the liquid to be measured ; temperature compensation may also be effected by connecting the arm 14 to the post 13 by a slidable block 48, Fig. 4, actuated by a bi-metallic member 49. In another form, two chambers 50; 51, Fig. 5, are connected to supply and delivery chambers 56, 58 under the control of valves 66, 67, 72, 73. The extent of collapse of the bellows 52, 53 is limited by stops 90, 91 ; as a bellows nears its collapsed position a stop 80 or 81 moves a tube 82 or 83 to stress a spring 76 or 77, and the tube finally moves a member 88 or 89 out of engagement with an arm 74 or 75, so that the stressed spring is released and the valves reversed. In a further form, the fluid to be measured is supplied to and delivered from chambers 93, Fig. 7, under the control of a cock 106, and each bellows is connected to a rod 97; as a bellows collapses, a collar 100 fixed to the rod 97 stresses a spring 101, and then moves hooks 113 to release a slidable member 102 which is then moved by the spring to turn the cock 106 through 90‹ by means of linkwork and ratchet gearing.

Title: Improvements in or in connection with anti-dazzle devices for use with the head lights of motor vehicles
IPC: B60Q1/14
Filed: 1926-10-26
Abstract: 289,257. Swaby, S. T., and Storr, W. E. Oct. 26, 1926. Electromagnets. - A series of pivoted louvre e plates a arranged in the body of a head lamp or in a unit attached to a head d lamp are adapted to be moved from one position to another and given an additional movement after the first movement, by an electromagnet b, arranged in an extension 3 of the lamp casing 4 and having two armatures, one e normally at a lesser distance from one end of the magnet core i than the other armature d is from the other end of the core. On energizing the magnet from the lighting circuit of the head lamps the armature e is brought against the core, moving a slidable rod j coupled to a lever k pivoted at r to the supporting framework n. The other arm o of the lever k moves a pin g operatively connected to one of the plates a which are suitably coupled together; the first movement is thus imparted to the plates. The pin g is fixed on a slidable rod f pivoted to the armature d and the first movement brings the armature d into the magnetic influence of the magnet b so that it is drawn up to the core and imparts to the pin g and plate a the additional movement. Stops q limit the outward movement of the armatures, and a spring h returns the plates when the magnet is deenergized. The arrangement described may be fitted to the right-hand head lamp while a magnet with a single armature may be used for the lefthand head lamp. To adjust the throw of the two armatures the pivot r of the lever k is arranged on a slide s movable, in a. slot t in the supporting framework n. A lever x pivoted to the framework at v is coupled to a. stud u fixed on the slide s and also to a frame y adjustable on the base 2 and clamped in position by a wing nut 5 so that by adjusting the frame y the position of the pivot r is altered. The magnet and its coacting parts are carried by a frame 6 which may be adjusted longitudinally on the base 2 to alter the position of the pin g with relation to the plates a without affecting the throw of the armatures, and is clamped in position by a wing nut 8. By this adjustment the plates may be retained at an angle with the axis of the head lamps so that the beam is permanently deflected, while allowing of further deflection when required.

Title: Improvements in gyroscopic mass flowmeters
IPC: G01F1/84
Filed: 1962-07-16
Abstract: 1,003,425. Gyroscopic Mass flowmeters, instrument calibration. W.ROTH. July 16, 1962 [Aug. 7, 1961], No. 27279/62. Headings G1N and G1U. The gyroscopic couple acting about a torque axis when a curved conduit is oscillated about a drive axis varies as a function of the fluid flow in the conduit, as described in Specification 893,830 and provision is now made for checking the calibration of the sensing apparatus by means of of an unbalanced mass providing output signals in quadrature to the output signals indicative of flow rate. Fluid flows through ring 10 which is rocked about drive axis 18 to produce couples about torque axis 15, which are sensed by velocity or displacement type moving coil transducers 19,19<SP>1</SP> An unbalanced mass 35 is provided, preferably at 45 degrees to the drive and torque axes. The transdu - cer signals are supplied to a synchronous detector receiving a reference phase signal from a first winding on two-phase generator 30. It is shown that the unbalanced mass produces a torque about axis 15 which is in quadrature to that produced by fluid flow. For checking the calibration the second generator winding is connected to the detector so that only the unbalanced mass signal is passed. The generator windings may be selectively connected to a relay coil operating synchronous switches. To eliminate the effect of variations of oscillation frequency w on the output amplitude the signals may be integrated one or more times, or other calculus and algebraic operations may be performed, as described in Specification 893,830. Self-calibrating arrangement (Fig. 6). Signals from transducers 19, 19<SP>1</SP> are passed through a linear or integrating amplifier 71 to synchronous detector 76, to which a reference phase voltage is also applied from generator 30. Depending on the position of switch 55 the detector provides an output representing either the mass flow or the calibration mass. Switch 55 is operated periodically by timer 79, which simultaneously operates switch 84 to connect the output of detector 76 to a differential amplifier 86,the second input to which is a D.C.reference voltage. If the calibration mass is not giving rise to an output voltage of the correct amplitude the differential amplifier produces an output to actuate a servomotor 72 to vary the gain of amplifier 71. A further stage of integration may be performed on the check signal, which differs from the fluidflow signal by a factor w. This further integration shifts the phase by 90 degrees and allows the use of a single phase generator. The unbalanced condition of the conduit may arise during normal manufacture, or be produced by adding a small mass to the conduit.
