ABSTRACT:
A gas-actuated sound signal generator is provided to produce a simple, reliable sound signal of predetermined frequency, or combination of frequencies. The signal generator is intended for use primarily with a tire pressure sensing system on a vehicle as a means for transmitting the occurrence of a low tire pressure condition from a wheel to a microphone mounted in fixed position to the vehicle and connected via processing circuitry to an alarm near the operator. The device is operated upon the release of a small amount of air from the tire if the tire pressure drops, for example, below a preset limit. The air released from the tire flows into the signal generator and is converted into a sound signal for detection by the microphone. The signal generator is comprised of a cavity block, a shim and a cover. The block contains an entrance feed through which air is admitted as from the tire and a cavity spaced from the entrance feed. The shim is slotted and overlaid on the block with the slot extending between the cavity and the entrance feed. The cover is formed with a port which registers with the cavity and, when placed over the shim, defines a communicating slit nozzle between the cavity and the entrance feed, as well as a port communicating with the cavity through which the signal is emitted. Air under pressure entering into the cavity strikes an edge of the shim and oscillations are produced.
