Abstract

Abstract ABSTRACT OF DISCLOSURE A paper fibre length measuring instrument, comprising a capillary tube, through which the fibres to be measured, in a liquid, are passed, and having on one side of the capillary tube a light source and on the opposite side of the capillary tube a photocell from the results of which the lengths of the fibres are determinable. The photocell comprises a diode matrix of which the diodes calculate the fibre length from the image of the passing fibre.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim 66 words
A paper fibre length measuring instrument comprising a capillary tube through which the fibres to be measured, in a liquid, are passed and having on one side of the capillary tube a light source and on the opposite side of the capillary tube a photocell, the photocell comprising a diode matrix, the diodes of which calculate, from the moving image of the fibre, the fibre length.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 66 words
A paper fibre length measuring instrument comprising a capillary tube through which the fibres to be measured, in a liquid, are passed and having on one side of the capillary tube a light source and on the opposite side of the capillary tube a photocell, the photocell comprising a diode matrix, the diodes of which calculate, from the moving image of the fibre, the fibre length.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 20 words
An instrument according to claim 1, wherein between the light source and the diode matrix there are disposed crossed polarizers.
