ABSTRACT:
A U-shaped tuning fork is fixed to a supporting block connected to a body in which a fault is to be detected. A spring loaded rod is movably supported at one end on the supporting block and extends through a spherical wedge sandwiched between two legs of the tuning fork. The tuning fork resonates at a frequency at which the detected body vibrates when a fault occurs in it. This permits the wedge and therefore the rod to move indicating the occurrence of the fault. Simultaneously a microswitch is operated to indicate electrically the existence of the fault.
