Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to an apparatus for leveling a surface, e.g. of a table.
- It is known that a great many apparatuses have to be leveled accurately for a proper operation.
- It is an object of the present invention to provide an easily handled apparatus for accurately leveling objects. To this effect, an apparatus for leveling a surface, e.g. of a table is provided with at least three bellows containing a pressure medium, each being connected through a conduit to a central operating block adapted to selectively interconnect two or more conduits. Such an apparatus makes it possible to easily set up the object level, while using the spirit level present on the object or a loose spirit level.
- The apparatus forms an entirely closed system which is maintenance-free: The closed system ensures that no or hardly any wandering occurs during a prolonged period of time.
- In a further embodiment of the invention, the central operating block may be provided with a chamber in a conical wall of which the said conduits terminate, and which chamber accommodates a spring-loaded valve fitted with a corresponding conical portion, one end of said valve extending beyond the casing. As a result, all bellows communicating with said operating block can be brought in the desired position simultaneously. The form of the operating block described has the advantage that if either of the conduit openings is not properly shut off by the valve, the liquid will leak downwardly along the valve, thus pressing the valve more firmly still on the seat; this is a result of the difference in surface.
- Use can also be made of a central operating block suitable for separately controlling the supporting position in either of the two main directions, so that the placing in the desired position in either of the main directions can be effected more easily. The central operating block may be provided with a casing wherein the closable conduits, spaced at regular intervals, terminate and in which casing there is arranged a rotary slide fitted with such recesses that the conduits are either not in open communication with eachotheror are in open communication with each other two by two.
- To ensure that even after leakage between the circumference of the spring-loaded valve and the inner wall of the chamber, operation of the valve remains possible, the chamber wall opposite the conical wall has a recessed portion or recess which is separated from the chamber by a diaphragm.
- As a result, the valve can be lifted off its seat, so that two or more conduits can be interconnected.
- The above described apparatus may be accommodated in a box-shaped supporting table, thereby obtaining an easily handled element for supporting e.g. scales or the like.
- In the appartus described hereinbefore, the bellows may be surrounded by a casing consisting of two telescopically coacting portions, one of which being fitted with a supporting member adapted for coaction with table attachment means.
- The operating block may also be designed such that the opening in the conical wall is shut off by a diaphragm at the exterior of which there is arranged a valve operating member, and the valve made of slightly compressible material is supported against a cover, with interposition of a spring, while the conical portion of the valve has a larger diameter than the opposite portion which is slidingly received in a cover recess and which portion, adjacent the conical portion, is fitted with an equalizing passage.
- This arrangement produces an operating block wherein the chance of leakage is minimized.
- In order to prevent internal contamination of the bellows or pistons, these may be filled with distilled water to which an antifreeze agent has been added to prevent it also from being frozen.
- The apparatus according to the invention is suitable in particular for supporting scales used by the ambulant commerce, requiring a frequent leveling of the scales.
- It will be clear that the apparatus according to the invention is also suitable for settingup-a surface at a slight angle relative to the horizontal, as sometimes required e.g. with a slide projector or the like.
- Some embodiments of the supporting apparatus according to the invention will now be described, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
- Fig. 1 is a perspective view of an apparatus for supporting objects;
- Fig. 1A is a longitudinal section of a central operating block employed in the apparatus shown in Fig. 1;
- Fig. 2 is a partial view and partial cross-sectional view of an embodiment of a table leveling apparatus;
- Fig. 3 is a diagrammatic view of an operating block for either not connecting conduits or connecting conduits two by two, and
- Fig. 4 shows a different embodiment of the central operating block.
- According to Fig. 1, an apparatus for supporting objects comprises four bellows, each having a
stub 22. Thebellows 2 are each connected throughconduits 8 to a central operating block 7, fitted with acontrol knob 20. - As shown in Fig. 1A the central operating block 7 comprises a
casing 10 wherein there is provided achamber 11 fitted with aconical wall 12. Adjacent saidconical wall 12 there terminate a plurality ofpassages 13 corresponding with the number ofbellows 9, theconduit 8 being connected to said passages. In thechamber 11 there is arranged aconical valve 14, which is kept in abutment with the conical wall orseat 12 by means of aspring 15. - The spring finds support against a
screw cover 16 closing thechamber 11. Thevalve 14 is fitted with astem 17 extending through apassage 18 of the casing, whose portion projecting from the casing is fitted with saidcontrol knob 20. - To prevent leakage along the stem, the
stem passageway 18 is fitted with a plurality ofpacking rings 19, in this case three. - As shown in Fig. 1A (and also fig. 2), the
screw cover 16 is fitted with a recessed portion 46, covered by adiaphragm 47. As a result, it remains possible, even if the space of the chamber wherein thespring 15 is disposed is entirely filled with oil, to push theconical valve 14 off its seat. - The above described apparatus may be used both in loose design and be incorporated in existing apparatus. Another possibility is shown in Fig. 2, wherein the apparatus described is accommodated in a box-
shaped table top 6. Since a major portion of the means employed therefor are identical to the above described means and, consequently, are shown with the same reference numerals, a description thereof will be omitted. For the rest, the following is observed regarding Fig. 2. - The operating block 7 is accommodated in a recessed portion of the
table top 6, thereby obtaining a flat top surface. As shown in the left-hand part of Fig. 2, thebellows 9 comprises the concertina-like bellows portion 23 proper, which is closed at the top end by awall 24 and at the bottom end by awall 25. Thewall 24, together with a small part of thebellows portion 23, is fixedly received in anattachment disc 26 fitted with arecess 27 adapted for coaction with a corresponding recess in the plate-like table top 6. - The comparatively
thick bottom wall 25 of thebellows 9 is fitted with arecess 28 adapted for coaction with a recess of ajacket 30. This thick syntheticplastics bottom wall 25 operates in a vibration damping fashion. It can therefore also be designed as a separate rubber disc. - The
attachment disc 26 is fitted with a dependingjacket 29 adapted for coaction with the saidjacket 30 attached to thebottom wall 25. - The
jackets oriented edges bottom wall 25, as shown in the drawings, is further fitted with astem 33 coacting with an inwardly extendedportion 34 of thestub 22. In order to obtain a fluid connection between theconduit 8 and the interior of thebellows 9, the saidportion 34 is fitted at thetop wall 24 withpassages 35. - In the construction shown, the
bellows portion 23 proper and thebottom wall 25 together with thestem 33 are in a single piece. This is also the case with thetop wall 24 with thestub 22 and thedownwardly extension 34 thereof. These two portions may be interconnected e.g. by glueing and be kept firmly against one another by incorporation of the connecting portion in theattachment disc 26. - The operation of the apparatus shown in Fig. 2 will be clear: By pushing in the
control knob 20, thevalve 14 is lifted off its seat so that allconduits 8 are brought in open communication with each other, resulting in self-adjustment of the bellows, depending on the eveness of the foundation on which they find support and the desired position of the table. After completion of the said adjustment, the control knob is again released, so that theconduits 8 are closed. Said adjustment may take place e.g. by means of one or more leveling instruments (leveling instruments are statutory in the Netherlands e.g. with scales). - In the second embodiment diagrammatically shown in Fig. 3, use is made of a cylindrical,
central operating block 40 fitted with fourpassages 41, each communicating through aconduit 42 with abellows 43. In thecylindrical casing 40 there is received aplug 44 fitted with two slots 45: The slots are designed so that twopassages 41 can be interconnected. In Fig. 3a the two upper, and the two lower passages, respectively, are interconnected, while in Fig. 3b the two left-hand passages, and the two right-hand passages, respectively, are interconnected. When the plug 4 is turned in an intermediate position there is no connection between the various passages and hence a stable condition is attained. - The operating block shown in Fig. 4 essentially comprises a casing 50 in a
chamber 51 of which there is received avalve 52 made of a slightly compressible material, whichvalve 52 is maintained in abutment with aconical seat 55, with interposition of aspring 53 finding support against acover 54. In theconical seat 55 there terminatepassages stubs 58, 59 connecting viabends hoses - As shown in Fig. 4, the front of the
conical valve 52 extends into anopening 64 of the casing 50. Theopening 64 is shut off by adiaphragm 65 retained by acover 66. Said cover is fitted with aneck 67 through which there is provided anopening 68 for the passage of thestem 70 of acontrol knob 69. Theopening 68, at the side of the diaphragm, terminates in achamber 71 for receiving theenlarged head 73 of thestem 70 fitted withsaw cuts 72 for assembly purposes. - The operating block shown is further attached by means of a
nut 74 by champs to awall 75 having an opening 76 of an apparatus, not further shown. - In order to achieve a rapid pressure equalization around the
valve 52 in thechamber 51, the valve is fitted with an equalizingpassage 77. - Although not indicated, the various above described parts of the operating block can be interconnected by means of thread, adhesive or the like. The only condition therefor is that the connection should be entirely leak-tight.
- The operation of the operating block will be clear: When the position of the apparatus or
wall 75 is to be changed, thecontrol knob 69 is pushed in, thus interconnecting thepassages chamber 51 is entirely filled with oil, operation of the valve remains possible, since the valve is made of slightly compressible material and is fitted with anequalization passage 77. - The apparatuses described in the above have the advantage that they enable a rapid operation. Besides, they provide a good vibration damping, while a further advantage is that, due to the use of a closed system, this system is maintenance-free and is not troubled with wandering supports.
- Finally, it is observed that a great many modifications are possible without departing from the scope of the invention.
