Definitions

  • a semi-circular magnet is pivotally mounted between these two disc magnets and the magnetic field of this magnet always lies between the magnetic fields of the two holding magnets.
  • Magnetizable stop pins limit the swinging movement of the semi-circular magnet and cause a snap action operation by this magnet.
  • a modified form of the device includes a central disc magnet mounted on the stem and between the two holding magnets.
  • the semi-circular pivoted magnet will have its magnetic field placed between the magnetic fields of one holding disc magnet and the central disc magnet When in one position; and will have its magnetic field lie between the fields of the other holding disc magnet and the central disc magnet when it is in its other position.
  • the pivoted magnet will have a snap action between these two positions.
  • the magnet carries a semi-circular magnet.
  • the magnet has one polarity on one face and an opposite polarity on the other 3,504,316 Patented Mar. 31, 1970 face.
  • This magnet has its magnetic field always lying within the magnetic fields of two spaced apart disc magnets that are mounted on a stem which is movable in the direction of its length.
  • Each disc magnet has one polarity on one face and an opposite polarity on the other face.
  • the limit stops for determining the amount of swing of the rockable member are formed of magnetizable material and are positioned so that one of the stops. will contact with the semi-circular magnet when the rockable member swings into one extreme position and the other stop will contact with the semi-circular magnet when the member swings into its other extreme position.
  • the novel snap action of the rockable member is produced by the magnetic attraction between the semi-circular magnet and the magnetized stop that it contacts during the initial movement of the stem and its two disc magnets in an axial direction that will tend to swing the semi-circular magnet from its contacted stop to the other stop.
  • the magnetized contacted stop will delay any swinging of the semi-circular magnet until this magnetism is broken whereupon the semi-circular magnet will have a snap action as it moves from the contacted stop to the other stop.
  • the stops are made of non-magnetizable material and a center disc magnet is added to the stem and is disposed between the two holding disc magnets
  • the rockable member with its semi-circular magnet is positioned so that the magnetic field of this magnet will either lie between the magnetic fields of the center disc magnet and one of the holding disc magnets or will lie between the magnetic fields of the center disc magnet and the other holding disc magnet.
  • the snap action of the rockable member is caused by the stem moving the center magnetic disc past the semi-cir cular magnet.
  • the rocking of the member can be used for actuating mercury or micro switches or for any other function desired.
  • the pivoted U-shaped magnet is bound in a magnetic field and does not require a spring to pull it in or out of the field. Therefore the U-shaped magnet is in a constantly engaged magnetic field.
  • FIGURE 1 is a vertical section through the device, portions being shown in elevation, and illustrating one form of my invention.
  • FIGURE 2 is a horizontal section taken along the line 2-2 of FIGURE 1.
  • FIGURES 3 to 5 inclusive are three schematic diagrams omitting the non-magnetic tube and illustrating the semi-circular magnet as being positioned to .the right of the vertically movable stem rather than encircling the stem as shown in FIGURES 1 and 2. This is for the purpose of more clearly illustrating the purpose and func' tion of the various magnetic fields surrounding the magnets.
  • FIGURES 6 and 7 are schematic diagrams of a modified form of the invention.
  • FIGURE 1 A tank indicated generally at A, carries water or other fluid.
  • a chamber B is associated with the tank for indicating the level of the fluid therein.
  • An upper interconnecting pipe 1 extends between the tank and the chamber and a lower interconnecting pipe 2 extends from the bottom of the chamber to the bottom of the tank.
  • the top of the chamber B may be secured to an assembly base C.
  • My device is mounted in a housing indicated generally 3 at D in FIGURE 1.
  • the housing has a bottom wall 3 that has a central opening for receiving the upper portion of a coupling member E.
  • the coupling member has a lower threaded end E1 that is received in a threaded opening 4 provided in the base C.
  • the upper portion E2 of the coupling E is threaded and receives a washer 5 that rests on the nut-shaped central portion 6 of the coupling member.
  • the bottom wall 3 of the housing D rests on the washer and a nut 7 is threaded onto the upper portion E2 for clamping the bottom wall in place.
  • a non-magnetic tube F is sealed in the bore of the coupling member E, see FIGURE 1.
  • This tube has a closed upper end 8 and a threaded stud projects upwardly from this end.
  • a dome-shaped cover 9 has a central opening for receiving the stud and a nut 10 is screwed onto the stud for removably securing the cover in place.
  • the lower end of the dome-shaped cover 9 overhangs an upwardly turned annular flange provided on the bottom wall 3.
  • a stem G Within the non-magnetic tube F, I slidably mount a stem G and a holding disc-shaped magnet H is mounted at the top of the stem and it slides in the bore of the tube, see FIGURE 1.
  • the entire upper face of the disc magnet is a North pole, which is indicated by the letter N, and the entire lower face is a South pole and is indicated by the letter S.
  • a non-magnetic spacing sleeve 11 is next mounted on the stem and its upper end contacts with the underside of the disc magnet H.
  • a lower holding disc-shaped magnet J is mounted on the stem G and bears against the bottom of the sleeve 11.
  • Another spacing sleeve 12 is mounted on the stem and abuts the underside of the disc magnet J.
  • a spring-pressed disc 13 is slidably mounted on the stem and is yieldingly held against the lower end of the sleeve 12 by a coil spring 14.
  • a base disc 15 is slidably mounted on the stem and is held in place by a split locking ring 16 that in turn is removably held in an annular groove provided in the bore of the coupling member E.
  • the coil spring 14 yieldingly holds the magnets H and J and the sleeves 11 and 12 as well as the disc 13 in assembled relation. The lengths of the sleeves may be varied to permit the disc magnets to be placed the desired distance apart.
  • the stem G slides in a central opening provided in the base disc 15.
  • the lower end of the stem G is connectced to one or more liquid displacers K, shown in FIGURE 1.
  • the displacer may be adjustably mounted on the stern. I have shown the liquid displacer received in the chamber B where the liquid level 17 will be the same as the liquid level in the tank A. It is possible to have the base C mounted directly on the tank and have the stem G and the liquid displacer K project into the liquid in the tank. In this way the chamber D could be dispensed with.
  • the stem G can be moved in the direction of its length by other means than that shown in FIGURE 1.
  • the coil spring 14 will oifset the weight of the displacer as well as the weight of the stem G.
  • a platform Q is adjustably supported by a threaded post 18 and held in place by nuts 19.
  • the platform is of non-magnetic material and it has an opening 20, through which the non-magnetic tube F extends.
  • the platform Q and the carriage L are placed within the housing D.
  • a U-shaped pivot support 21 is mounted on the platform Q and the carriage L is pivotally mounted on the support 21 at 22.
  • the carriage L is also U-shaped and its arms support the ends of the semi-circular magnet P, at 23, see FIGURE 2.
  • the semi-circular magnet P encircles substantially one half of the cylindrical tube F, and it is disposed close to the outer surface of the tube.
  • FIGURE 1 shows the magnet P positioned between the two holding disc magnets H and J.
  • An iron stop screw R is adjustably mounted on the non-magnetic platform Q fit and the magnet P comes to rest on this screw when it is in one of its two positions. As soon as the magnet P contacts the iron screw R, the screw becomes magnetized and there will be a magnetic attraction between the two which I utilize for delaying the upward swinging of the magnet P during the initial upward movement of the stem G. This will be explained shortly.
  • a non-magnetic bracket 24 is mounted on the platform Q, see FIGURES 1 and 2, and it carries an adjustable upper iron screw T.
  • the semi-circular magnet P on its upward swinging movement with the carriage L contacts the upper stop screw T, and magnetizes it. This will create a magnetic attraction between the magnet P and the stop T and I utilize this for delaying the downward swinging of the magnet during the initial downward movement of the stem G. This will be explained in the operation of the device.
  • the carriage L may be balanced in its swinging movement on the pivot 22 by a counterbalance weight 25 that is placed opposite to the magnet P.
  • a wire terminal block U has wires, not shown, leading from it to the mercury switch M. One or more openings, not shown, may be provided in the bottom wall 3 through which other wires, not shown, lead from the terminal block U, and may be used for any purpose desired.
  • FIGURES 3, 4 and 5 illustrated diagrammatically the operation.
  • the non-magnetic tube F has been omitted and the semi-circular magnet P, has been moved to the right side of the stem G so that the fields of flux around the various magnets can be more clearly shown.
  • the iron stop screws R and T have also been moved to the right and will be contacted alternately by the magnet P, as the latter is swung from one position to the other.
  • the semi-circular pivoted magnet P is in contact with the lower iron stop R, and that the stem G, is being raised vertically by the rising liquid 17 in the chamber B, or by any other means.
  • the upper surfaces of the magnets H, J and P have a North polarity while the lower surfaces of the same magnets have a South polarity.
  • the magnet P will magnetize the iron stop R because it is in contact therewith.
  • the holding magnet J has a flux field surrounding it as indicated by the looped lines J. Also the magnet P, has a flux field P surrounding it.
  • the magnet P will now have a snap action and will quickly swing clockwise into the position shown in FIGURE 4, where the magnet will now contact the upper iron stop T.
  • the repelling force between the swinging magnet P and the lower disc magnet I will limit the upward movement of the stem.
  • the clockwise swinging of the magnet P into the position shown in FIGURE 4 will free the downward pressure on the stern G caused by crowding of the two flux fields J and P prior to swinging and this will permit the stem to move upward more quickly and aid in the snap action swinging of the magnet.
  • the magnet P contacts the upper iron screw stop T, there will be magnetic attraction between the two.
  • On the reverse downward movement of the stem G it will have to travel from the position shown in FIG- URE 4 into the position shown in FIGURE 5 before the flux field H for the upper disc magnet H will start to crowd in upon the flux field P' of the swinging magnet P.
  • the distance between the two disc magnets J and H determines the amount of lost motion of the stem before the swinging magnet is snapped into its new position. This distance can be varied.
  • the swinging of the magnet P and its carriage L can be used for any purpose desired such as actuating mercury or micro switches or air switches.
  • the heads of the iron stops R and T can be made larger and this will cause more delay before the swinging magnet P will be freed from the stop it is contacting. Also the stop screws R and T could be shifted laterally with respect to the swinging magnet P, and this will vary the amount of magnetic attraction between the magnet and its contacted stop and thus vary the time period when the magnet is freed from its magnetized stop. Any means, not shown, may be used for this lateral shifting of the stops. It will be noted that the pivoted magnet P is bound in a magnetic field in both of its extreme positions and does not require a spring to pull it in or out of the field. The swinging magnet will therefore be in a constantly engaged magnetic field.
  • FIGURES 6 and 7 I show a modified form of the invention.
  • I mount two disc-shaped holding magnets on the vertically movable stem V, an upper magnet W, and a lower magnet X.
  • I further mount a central disc magnet Y on the stem and dispose it midway between the two holding discs.
  • a pivoted semi-circular magnet Z is shown spaced to the right of the stem V, but in actual practice it would be mounted on a pivoted carriage and would enclose the stem in the same manner as the semicircular magnet P, encircles the stem G, and is mounted on the carriage L, in FIGURES 1 and 2.
  • the semicircular magnet Z is spaced to the right of the stem V, in FIGURES 6 and 7, in order to illustrate the fields of flux that surround the various magnets.
  • the non-magnetic tube F would enclose the three disc magnets W, X and Y and the semi-circular magnet Z would enclose the tube.
  • a lower non-magnetic stop 50 limits the swinging movement of the magnet Z, in one direction while an upper nonmagnetic stop 51 limits the swinging movement of the magnet in the opposite direction. Both stops are made of non-magnetizable material.
  • the magnet Y is called a sensing magnet.
  • the top and bottom holding magnetic discs have their South poles S on their upper faces and have their North poles N on their lower faces.
  • the center magnetic disc has its North pole N on its upper face and its South pole S on its lower face while the semi-circular swinging magnet Z also has its North pole N on its upper face and its South pole S on its lower face.
  • All four magnets W, X, Y and Z have their fields of flux W, X, Y and Z, surrounding them as indicated by the oval lines in FIGURES 6 and 7.
  • the pivoted magnet Z is shown in contact with the upper non-magnetic stop 51.
  • the upper holding magnet W has a portion of its flux field W merged with a portion of the flux field Z of the pivoted magnet Z.
  • the flux field Y will have a portion forced through a portion of the flux field Z of the pivoted magnet.
  • substantially all of the flux field Z of the magnet Z creates a repelling force of at least one-half of the flux field Y of the center magnet Y.
  • the center magnet Y will be forced through the flux field Z of the pivoted magnet Z, as the stern V moves the center magnet Y upwardly.
  • the pivoted magnet Z will be held in its new position in FIGURE 7 by the repelling action of the two flux fields Y and Z and by the magnetic attraction between the lower holding magnet X and the pivoted magnet Z.
  • the reverse snap action takes place when the stem V starts moving downwardly. It is possible for the stem to override a slight distance in its up or down movement and the holding magnets W and X will maintain the swinging magnet Z in the position into which it had just been swung.
  • the modified form of the invention uses two holding magnets W and X that are mounted on the stem V and move with it.
  • the center magnet Y is used to force through the flux field Z of the pivoted magnet Z to produce the snap action for the magnet Z.
  • the pivoted magnet Z will be bound in a magnetic field in both of its extreme positions and does not require a spring to pull it in or out of the field. It can therefore be said that the pivoted magnet Z will be constantly engaged in a magnetic field.
