ABSTRACT:
A meter housing including internal metering apparatus movable by fuel flowing through the housing. The metering apparatus in its driven function operates in a rotating, reciprocating or wobbling manner, and with its operation moves a permanent type magnet. The magnet is associated with a sensing device in an electrical circuit which senses the moving functions of the magnet and transmits operating cycles to a pulse receiver in the electrical circuit which in turn operates selected types of counters or read-out devices such as digital tachometers, totalizing counters, re-set counters, or the like. Importantly, the magnet is a part of the metering apparatus operating in the fluid compartment of the housing and the sensing device is disposed in another compartment in the housing close enough for influence by the magnet but completely isolated from the fuel by a fluid impervious wall, thus preventing any possibility of explosion. Also importantly, the sensing device and other components in the circuit are solid state electronic components which will withstand rugged treatment. Temperature compensating elements are employed in the measuring system. The metering apparatus can be used with various types of combustion systems, such as gas engines, Diesel engines, and various other combustion apparatuses. Furthermore, the meter may be associated with vehicles to show off-highway fuel consumption. Various types of rate designations such as gallons per hour, miles per gallon, revolutions per gallon, and other functions may also be employed. Also, an alternative form of metering apparatus is employed that meters extremely small increments to accomplish sensitive readouts.
