4 Claims, 3 Drawing Figures ADJUSTABLE-SPRING ATTENUATOR FOR RADIATEI) BEAMS FIELD OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to attenuators for radiation beams such as optical beams.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Many optical instruments require attenuating det ices capable of giving precise control ofvarying attenuation of an optical beam path. Attenuators for instruments such as gas analysers. for example. have generally involved the use of wedge combs or shutters placed in the optical beam. calling for carriages and guides manufactured to a high degree of accuracy. Previously known precision attenuators have. therefore, tended to be costly and somewhat complex.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The object of the present invention is to provide a variable attenuator for the purpose described which. whilst capable of precise adjustment. is both of simple construction and inexpensive.
According to the present invention a variable attenuator for use in a radiation beam path comprises at least one obturating element which element is capable of varying its physical form, whereby according to the degree of such variation the element may of itself, or in combination with other elements, attenuate a radiation beam path in which it is placed to a greater or lesser degree. there being further provided control means for producing gradual variation in the physical form ofthe element.
In the preferred form of the invention, a variable attenuator includes a helical coil spring which is placed in the beam path to be attenuated, the coil density of the spring in the beam path being controllable by means of a spring take-up arrangement which may be automatically or hand-operated. The spring is prefera bly placed across the full height or full width of the beam to be attenuated and variation of the spring coil density alters the number of turns met by the beam thus altering the degree of obscuration.
The spring may be a compression spring but is preferably an extension spring continuously under tension for all settings of the attenuator. It is also possible. however, to use a coil spring varying between compression and extension over the operating range of the attenuator.
One embodiment of the invention will now be de scribed with reference to the accompanying drawing in which:
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING FIG. 1 shows a simple perspective view of an optical beam path attenuator according to the present inven tion.
FIG. 2 shows a sectional front elevation of a spring take-up arrangement of the attenuator shown in FIG. 1, and
FIG. 3 shows a side elevation of the spring take-up arrangement shown in FIGS. I and 2.
DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT Referring to the drawing. the attenuator shown comprises a spring wire coil 1 supported by a bracket 2 such that several of the spring coils may interrupt a light beam indicated by arrow A.
I'he coil I is fixed at its lower end to bracket 2 by screws 3. the upper end of the coil being arranged to wind onto the cylinder 4 of a coil take-up arrangement. The latter arrangement comprises. in addition to cylinder 4,11 knurled operating knob S, a shaft 6 and a transverse pin 7, in fixed relationship to one another and arranged to rotate together by means of the shaft 6 being mounted in a hole in an end wall at the top of cylinder 4. The extreme upper end of the coil is fixed between the cylinder 4 and the bracket 2, cylinder 4 being rigidly held by the bracket.
The arrangement shown enables the number of turns of coil 1 passing through a fixed beam area. or path. to be varied by turning the knob 5 and thus taking up a greater or lesser number of the coil turns on to cylinder 4.
Typical dimensions for the attenuator shown are as follows:
25 X 40 mm rectangle.
Beam palch' si/e:
S i r approxlniately.
12 thousandths of an inch.
The attenuator described. in addition to being generally mechanically simple and robust. is particularly suitable for use in locations subject to vibration since. al though the coil may vibrate in such circumstances. the overall attenuating effect of the coil remains constant to a surprisingly high degree.
The invention is not limited to the use of coil springs as attenuating elements. Alternative forms may comprise, for example, a plurality of elements of leaf-spring shape, or a deformable strip of zig-zag configuration. A further possible embodiment may employ a body of material capable of transmitting radiation. the change in form of the body being arranged to alter the path length of radiation through the body, and thus vary the attenuation of the beam.
It will be appreciated that the invention is not limited to attenuators for optical beams but may also be applied to attenuators for alternative forms of radiation. for example. infra-red radiation.
