Abstract
A mechanical barometer set up for detecting air pressure and direction of change and/or value of change thereof by means of a mechanical barometric measuring device, the barometer including a mechanical means which interacts with the measuring device and by means of which an acoustic code correlating with the value of the air pressure and/or the direction of change and/or the value of change thereof can be output, including a mechanical clockwork, characterized in that measuring signals provided by the measuring device can be amplified by means of the mechanical energy of a clockwork, wherein the mechanical means can be activated at regular time intervals by means of the clockwork.
Claims10
A mechanical barometer (1), set up for detecting the pressure (p) and the direction of change and/or value of change (W) thereof by means of a mechanical barometric measuring device (2), the barometer (1) comprising a mechanical means (3) which interacts with the measuring device (2) and by means of which an acoustic code (C) correlating with the value of the atmospheric pressure (p) and/or the direction of change (Z) and/or the value of change thereof (W) is output, comprising a mechanical clockwork, characterized in that measuring signals (Δs) provided by the measuring device (2) are amplified by means of the mechanical energy of a clockwork (4), wherein the mechanical means (3) is configured to be activated at regular time intervals by means of the clockwork (4).
A method of displaying the value of atmospheric pressure (p) and the direction of change (Z) and/or the value of change (W) thereof, characterized by the following steps:
- detecting the atmospheric pressure (p) as well as the direction of change (Z) and/or the value of change (W) thereof by means of a mechanical barometric measuring device (2);
- correlating the value of the atmospheric pressure (p) and/or the direction of change (Z)and/or the value of change (W) thereof with an acoustic code (C) using a mechanical means (3) cooperating with the measuring device (2);
- generating the acoustic code (C) using acoustic signals;
- so that the value of the atmospheric pressure (p) and/or its direction of change (Z) and/or the value of change (W) is registered by a user even at a certain distance without optical perception of a display, wherein measuring signals (Δs) provided by the measuring device (2) are amplified by means of the mechanical energy of a clockwork (4) which also supplies the mechanical means (3) for outputting the acoustic code (C) with mechanical energy.
