Abstract

Abstract A photometer comprising a light source, a rotating plate provided with a plurality of filter means having different wave lengths, a reference plate and a sample means, said rotating plate disposed between said light source and said reference plate and sample means, and a half-mirror and a reflection plate located between said light source and said rotating plate, said half-mirror and reflection plate being disposed so as to form a first light passage adapted to extend to the reference plate, and a second light passage adapted to extend to the sample means, whereby alternate radiation through one of said filter means against the reference plate and the sample means is made by the rotation of said rotary plate.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim 118 words
A photometer comprising a light source, a rotating plate provided with a plurality of filter means having different wave lengths, a reference plate and a sample means, said rotating plate disposed between said light source and said reference plate and sample means, and a half-mirror and a reflection plate located between said light source and said rotating plate, said half-mirror and reflection plate being disposed so as to form a first light passage adapted to extend to the reference plate, and a second light passage adapted to extend to the sample means, whereby alternate radiation through one of said filter means against the reference plate and the sample means is made by the rotation of said rotary plate.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 118 words
A photometer comprising a light source, a rotating plate provided with a plurality of filter means having different wave lengths, a reference plate and a sample means, said rotating plate disposed between said light source and said reference plate and sample means, and a half-mirror and a reflection plate located between said light source and said rotating plate, said half-mirror and reflection plate being disposed so as to form a first light passage adapted to extend to the reference plate, and a second light passage adapted to extend to the sample means, whereby alternate radiation through one of said filter means against the reference plate and the sample means is made by the rotation of said rotary plate.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 19 words
The photometer of claim 1 wherein motor means is operatively connected with said rotating plate for rotating said plate.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 25 words
The photometer of claim 1 wherein a light receiving element is operatively associated with said reference plate and said sample means for receiving light therefrom.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 23 words
The photometer of claim 1 wherein the reflection plate, the sample means and the light receiving element are combined in a multiplication ball.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 26 words
The photometer of claim 4 wherein an additional reflection plate is disposed near the multiplication ball for directing the second light passage to the sample means.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 51 words
The photometer of claim 1 wherein the filter means are so disposed that both the first and second light passages can be simultaneously shielded from the reference plate and the sample means by the rotation of said rotating plate thereby performing a zero adjustment at every rotation of the rotating plate.
