Claim 1
Independent Claim
148 words
A DEVICE FOR CONVERTING A DISPLACEMENT INTO AN ELECTRICAL QUANTITY SO ARRANGED THAT THE ELECTRICAL QUANTITY VARIES WITH THE SQUARE OF THE DISPLACEMENT, COMPRISING A FIRST ELECTRODE AND A SECOND ELECTRODE SPACED APART AND FACING EACH OTHER, A HOLE PROVIDED IN SAID FIRST ELECTRODE, AND A THIRD ELECTRODE HAVING AN ELONGATE FORM AND A UNIFORM CROSS-SECTION PERPENDICULAR TO ITS LENGTH, SAID THIRD ELECTRODE BEING POSITIONED WITHIN SAID HOLE AND HAVING A PORTION THEREOF EXTENDING ON EITHER SIDE OF SAID FIRST ELECTRODE, MOUNTING MEANS FOR SAID THIRD ELECTRODE PERMITTING SAID ELECTRODE TO BE DISPLACED FOR A LIMITED DISTANCE IN THE DIRECTION OF ITS LENGTH WITH RESPECT TO SAID FIRST ELECTRODE, ELECTRICAL CONNECTING MEANS MOUNTED ON EACH OF SAID ELECTRODES, A VOLTAGE SOURCE CONNECTED TO SAID FIRST AND SECOND ELECTRODES, AND OUTPUT TERMINALS ONE CONNECTED TO SAID THIRD ELECTRODE AND ANOTHER CONNECTED TO ONE OF SAID FIRST AND SECOND ELECTRODES.
