Abstract
An aircraft instrument with an acceleration compensation device comprises at least a capsule, a rocking axle, a link mechanism to transmit displacements of a free end of the capsule to the rocking axle, a first gear integrally provided with the rocking axle, a second gear meshed with the first gear and being rotatable, and weights. The weights are provided on the first gear and the second gear each correspondingly, and rotative force of the weights caused by an acceleration force works on the rocking axle so as to cancel the rotative force of the rocking axle by the displacements, due to the acceleration, of the free end of the capsule.

An aircraft instrument with an acceleration compensation device comprising:
- at least one capsule, a rocking axle, a link mechanism to transmit displacements of a free end of the capsule to the rocking axle, a first gear integrally provided with the rocking axle, a second gear meshed with the first gear and being rotatable, and weights provided on the first and the second gears so as to displace the centers of mass of the gears radially from the respective rotation axes, the relative masses and positions of said weights being such that the rotative force of the weights caused by an acceleration force works on the rocking axle so as to cancel the rotative force of the rocking axle by the displacements, due to the acceleration, of the free end of the capsule.
An aircraft instrument with an acceleration compensation device comprising:
- at least one capsule, a rocking axle, a link mechanism to transmit displacements of a free end of the capsule to the rocking axle, a first gear integrally provided with the rocking axle, a second gear meshed with the first gear and being rotatable, and openings provided in the first and the second gears so as to displace the centers of mass of the gears radially from the respective rotation axes, the relative sizes and positions of said openings being such that the rotative force of said openings caused by an acceleration force works on the rocking axle so as to cancel the rotative force of the rocking axle by the displacements, due to the acceleration of the free end of the capsule.
