Abstract
A double-sided meter includes a case having two open ends, and a movement mounted in the case for measuring temperature, pressure, humidity, or other measurements. The movement is provided at front and rear surfaces with two sets of dial disc and pointer to enable observation of reading values at either side of the meter. The double-sided meter further includes at least one clip-on index that is so shaped that it has some extent of elasticity for fitly and movably attaching to a peripheral wall of the meter. Pointed free ends of the clip-on index are pointed toward scales on the dial discs at two sides of the meter to indicate a desired range of reading values.
Claims7
A double-sided meter, comprising:
- an axially extended case having a tubular sidewall portion defining two open ends at axially opposed extremities thereof;
- and
- a measuring device mounted in said case coaxially in said sidewall portion, said measuring device including a movement, two sets of indicating means separately provided at opposing front and rear surfaces of said movement to capture said movement within said sidewall portion of said case, and a nipple sideward projected from said movement and said case to connect to a pipeline to be inspected;
- said indicating means being actuated responsive to said movement to indicate a reading value of any measured result;
- at least one clip-on index slidably coupled to said case for adjustable displacement thereabout.
A double-sided meter comprising:
- a case having two open ends;
- a measuring device mounted in said case and including a movement, two sets of indicating means separately provided at front and rear surfaces of said movement, and a nipple sideward projected from said movement and said case to connect to a pipeline to be inspected;
- and said movement driving said indicating means to indicate a reading value of any measured result:
- and,
- at least one clip-on index for attaching to a peripheral wall of said case, said clip-on index having a cross section having substantially a Σ-shaped configuration, and including two bent sections provided near two outer ends thereof and a transverse section located between said two bent sections:
- said bent sections having profiles corresponding to that of two flanges of said double-sided meter and having free ends formed into two index fingers to point toward scales on two sides of said meter, and said transverse section having a predetermined curvature for it to fitly abut on a depressed part of said peripheral wall of said case, said at least one clip-on index being provided at an outer side of said transverse section with push bars.
A double-sided meter comprising:
- a case having two open ends;
- a measuring device mounted in said case and including a movement, two sets of indicating means separately provided at front and rear surfaces of said movement, and a nipple sideward projected from said movement and said case to connect to a pipeline to be inspected;
- and said movement driving said indicating means to indicate a reading value of any measured result;
- and,
- at least one clip-on index for attaching to a peripheral wall of said case, said clip-on index having a cross section having substantially a Σ-shaped configuration, and including two bent sections provided near two outer ends thereof and a transverse section located between said two bent sections;
- said bent sections having profiles corresponding to that of two flanges of said double-sided meter and having free ends formed into two index fingers to point toward scales on two sides of said meter, and said transverse section having a predetermined curvature for it to fitly abut on a depressed part of said peripheral wall of said case, said curved transverse section of said at least one clip-on index providing an outward tension for said two bent sections to firmly clamp on said flanges of said meter.
