Abstract
A pressure gauge having a cup-shaped case closed by a transparent cover, through which a graduated scale and a pointer movable therealong are visible, the cover being mounted rotatably on the case in an axial fixed position with respect thereto.
Claims8
Pressure gauge of the type comprising a cup-shaped case closed at the front by a cover consisting at least partly of transparent material;
- a dial provided on the front with a graduated scale and disposed in the case so as to be visible through the cover;
- measuring means disposed in the case to measure the pressure of the external environment;
- a pointer mobile along the graduated scale under the control of the measuring means;
- the cover being mounted rotatably on the case in an axially fixed position with respect thereto, and seal means being interposed between the cover and case;
- said seal means being disposed in such a manner as to be directly influenced by the pressure to be measured, and being elastically deformable by the effect thereof to angularly lock the cover relative to the case when said pressure exceeds a determined value.
Pressure gauge of the type comprising a cup-shaped case closed at the front by a cover consisting at least partly of transparent material;
- a dial provided on the front with a graduated scale and disposed in the case so as to be visible through the cover;
- measuring means disposed in the case to measure the pressure of the external environment;
- a pointer mobile along the graduated scale under the control of the measuring means;
- the cover being mounted rotatably on the case in an axially fixed position with respect thereto, and the dial being mounted rotatably about the axis of the case and in an axially fixed position relative thereto, means being interposed between the cover and dial to make this latter angularly rigid with the cover.
Pressure gauge of the type comprising a cup-shaped case closed at the front by a cover consisting at least partly of transparent material;
- a dial provided on the front with a graduated scale and disposed in the case so as to be visible through the cover;
- measuring means disposed in the case to measure the pressure of the external environment;
- a pointer mobile along the graduated scale under the control of the measuring means;
- the cover being mounted rotatably on the case in an axially fixed position with respect thereto;
- a maximum indicator device supported by the cover in a position facing the dial, this latter being supported in an axially and angularly fixed position in the case, the maximum indicator device comprises a second pointer mounted on the cover by way of friction means, so that it is mobile relative to the cover and to the dial along the graduated scale thereof;
- and means interposed between this second pointer and the first pointer to cause the second pointer to be entrained by the first against the braking action of the friction means in the case of movements of the first pointer corresponding only to increases in the pressure to be measured relative to a previously attained maximum pressure;
- the friction means comprise a drum supporting the second pointer and mounted rotatably about one of its own axes in a cavity formed in the center of the inner surface of the cover;
- a relatively high viscosity liquid being interposed between the inner surface of the cavity and the outer surface of the drum.
