Abstract

Abstract The housing of an apparatus transforming the rotary speed of the motor shaft of a motorcar into electric signals is constructed divisible and shaped to permit easy attachment to the gear casing of the motorcar. A housing envelopes an adapter transmission and an electromechanical transducer, and has a tapered end formed by converging walls tangential to a connector tube projecting from the housing. The tapered housing end fits into a confined space on a transmission casing when the connector tube is attached to an other connecting tube projecting from the transmission casing so that a coupling in the connector tube connects the transmission in the casing with the adapter transmission in the housing.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim 237 words
Mounting arrangement for an apparatus transforming rotary speed into electric signals, comprising a supporting casing having wall means forming a confined space and including a first connector tube in said confined space; transmission means including an output shaft and being mounted in said casing for driving said output shaft at varying speeds; a housing having a housing end portion including a second connector tube perpendicularly projecting from said housing and being detachably connected with said first connector tube for supporting at least said housing end portion in said confined space, said housing end portion converging toward the respective end of said housing and including two lateral converging wall portions disposed in planes tangential to said second connector tube on opposite sides of said second connector tube, and a curved wall end portion substantially matching the contour of said second connector tube and connecting said lateral converging wall portions with each other, said housing including a third connector tube; and an adapter transmission in said housing incLuding an input shaft having coupling means located in said second connector tube for being coupled with said transmission means in said casing through said first connector tube; and an electro mechanical transducer in said housing driven by said adapter transmission and generating electric signals representing the rotary speed of said output shaft at a ratio depending on said adapter transmission, and including electric output means located in said third connector tube.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 237 words
Mounting arrangement for an apparatus transforming rotary speed into electric signals, comprising a supporting casing having wall means forming a confined space and including a first connector tube in said confined space; transmission means including an output shaft and being mounted in said casing for driving said output shaft at varying speeds; a housing having a housing end portion including a second connector tube perpendicularly projecting from said housing and being detachably connected with said first connector tube for supporting at least said housing end portion in said confined space, said housing end portion converging toward the respective end of said housing and including two lateral converging wall portions disposed in planes tangential to said second connector tube on opposite sides of said second connector tube, and a curved wall end portion substantially matching the contour of said second connector tube and connecting said lateral converging wall portions with each other, said housing including a third connector tube; and an adapter transmission in said housing incLuding an input shaft having coupling means located in said second connector tube for being coupled with said transmission means in said casing through said first connector tube; and an electro mechanical transducer in said housing driven by said adapter transmission and generating electric signals representing the rotary speed of said output shaft at a ratio depending on said adapter transmission, and including electric output means located in said third connector tube.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 66 words
Arrangement as claimed in claim 1 wherein said housing includes first and second housing parts abutting each other in a dividing plane and including first and second walls substantially parallel to said dividing plane, said first wall supporting said second connector tube in a position perpendicular to said first wall, one of said housing parts having an endless lateral wall including said lateral converging wall portions.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 31 words
Arrangement as claimed in claim 2 wherein said third connector tube projects at an other housing end portion from said lateral wall in a direction transverse to said second connector tube.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 23 words
Arrangement as claimed in claim 2 wherein said third connector tube perpendicularly projects from said second wall at an other housing end portion.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 73 words
Arrangement as claimed in claim 2 wherein said housing includes a partitioning wall forming first and second cavities with said first and second housing parts; wherein said transducer is located in said first cavity; wherein said adapter transmission is located in said second cavity and includes means passing through said partitioning wall for driving said transducer; and wherein said housing includes means mounting said transducer and said adapter transmission on said partitioning wall.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 16 words
Housing arrangement as claimed in claim 2 wherein said second housing part is a flat cover.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 243 words
Housing arrangement as claimed in claim 5 wherein said partitioning wall is substantially located in said dividing plane. partitioning Housing arrangement for an apparatus transforming rotary speed into electric signals, comprising a supporting casing; a shaft rotatably mounted in said casing; and a housing including first and second housing parts abutting each other in a dividing plane, and having first and second end walls substantially parallel with said dividing plane, said first housing part having a connector tube projecting from said first end wall for attachment to said supporting casing, at least said first housing part having an endless lateral wall adjacent said first end wall and having wall portions disposed in planes tangential to said connector tube so as to facilitate attachment of said housing to said casing, said housing including a partitioning wall forming first and second cavities with said first and second housing parts; an electromechanical transducer in said first cavity; an adapter transmission in said second cavity for driving said electromechanical transducer; coupling means in said connector means coupled with said shafts and connected with said transmission; said adapter transmission and said electromechanical transducer being mounted on said partitioning wall, said adapter transmission including at least one transmission shaft mounted at one end in said partitioning wall and having an other free end; a bearing member located within said second cavity and supporting said free shaft end; and resilient means between said second end wall and said bearing member.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 25 words
Housing arrangement as claimed in claim 8 wherein said resilient means includes a leaf spring mounted on said second housing part abutting said bearing member.
