Abstract
Abstract A speed detector for detecting the speed of a moving body is of the type including a magnetic core, a detection coil wound about the core, a magnet with one pole thereof faced toward the periphery of the detection coil with a definite air gap therebetween, and means for relatively moving the magnet with respect to the core and the coil in accordance with the movement of the moving body. the magnet is arranged such that the magnetic flux produced thereby crosses the detection coil two times, thereby inducing a direct current voltage in the detection coil having a magnitude proportional to the speed of movement of the moving body and a polarity depending upon the direction of movement thereof.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
140 words
In a speed detector for detecting the speed of a moving body, said detector being of the type comprising a core of magnetic material having uniform cross-section, a detection coil uniformly wound about said core, a magnet positioned with one pole thereof faced to the periphery of said detection coil with a definite air gap therebetween, and means operatively connected to a moving body for relatively moving said magnet with respect to said core and coil in accordance with the movement of said moving body, the improvement wherein: said magnet is positioned such that the magnetic flux produced thereby crosses said detection coil two times, comprising means for inducing a direct current voltage in said detection coil having a magnitude proportional to the speed of movement of said moving body and a polarity depending upon the direction of movement thereof.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
140 words
In a speed detector for detecting the speed of a moving body, said detector being of the type comprising a core of magnetic material having uniform cross-section, a detection coil uniformly wound about said core, a magnet positioned with one pole thereof faced to the periphery of said detection coil with a definite air gap therebetween, and means operatively connected to a moving body for relatively moving said magnet with respect to said core and coil in accordance with the movement of said moving body, the improvement wherein: said magnet is positioned such that the magnetic flux produced thereby crosses said detection coil two times, comprising means for inducing a direct current voltage in said detection coil having a magnitude proportional to the speed of movement of said moving body and a polarity depending upon the direction of movement thereof.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
38 words
The improvement claimed in claim 1, wherein said permanent magnet comprises a pair of magnets with the respective poles thereof of the same polarity faced to the periphery of said stationary coil with a definite air gap therebetween.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
20 words
The improvement claimed in claim 1, wherein said permanent magnet comprises an annular magnet magnetized in the radial direction thereof.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
27 words
