SU32180A1 - Apparatus for measuring the volume of leather and other flat objects - Google Patents

Description

The proposed apparatus is designed to quickly measure the volumes of flat objects, the amount of which is difficult to calculate by calculation. If there are data for flat figures about their thickness, it is possible, having determined the volume using the specified apparatus, to find their area, or, knowing the area and volume, to find the thickness.

The apparatus of the apparatus consists in that the object, the volume of which one wishes to determine, is introduced into the chamber, into which, without the test object, a certain amount of sand or other free-flowing substance enters to a certain level. After that, sand is poured into the chamber to a certain level, then it is poured out and weighed, and each weight unit of sand must correspond to a certain unit of volume.

In FIG. 1 and 2 depict a general view of the apparatus in two projections.

The proposed apparatus consists of a horizontally or vertically positioned chamber 7, into which is pushed

39

frame 2, to the grid 3 of which a flat object 4 is suspended by means of clamps 4. Chamber 7 is closed with valve .5 or door and sand is released from funnel 6 by opening the gate (not shown in the drawing). After filling the chamber 7 with sand to control line 7 on glass 8, sand through the bottom gate 9 is discharged from chamber 7 to a belt conveyor 10, which transfers sand to the weighing tank 77, the latter being on the short arm of the lever 72, is balanced by moving the load J3 along the long arm of the lever 72 by means of a cable M, thrown over the blocks 75-76 and passing through the mechanism of the counter 77 of a conventional device; the cable is kept tight with J8 load. After determining the volume, sand from the weighing tank 77 is discharged into the bunker J9, from where it is fed by the elevator 29 to the funnel b, where it is evenly distributed by the screw 27 through the corresponding side windows in the chute 22 of the funnel 6. Transporter, elevator

and the auger is driven by the motor 23. The movement of the gate 9 is achieved by means of the handle 24.

Frame 2 is pushed into the chamber with a pre-suspended object, for example skin. Having closed the shutter chamber 7, open the shutter at the funnel 6 and let sand into the chamber /; while the chamber / sand is being filled, the next item is suspended on the spare frame. Previously suspended from it is previously suspended. As soon as the chamber / is filled with sand to line 7, the gate at the funnel 6 closes and opens the gate 9 at the bottom of the chamber 7, releasing the sand to the conveyor 10, and from there the latter is transferred to the tank 77. After transferring all the sand from chamber 7 to the tank 77 the movement of the load 13, having pulled the cable 14, and observe the result of the measured volume on the counter 77. Having moved the load 13 to the initial position and at the same time opening the gate at the reservoir 77, sand is released into the bunker 19, where the latter is fed by an elevator

in the funnel 6. At this time, open the valve or the door 5, pull out the frame 2 from the chamber 7, and in its place insert the prepared frame with the new object. For convenience, the balance pointer 25 comes from lever 72.

The subject matter of the invention.

Claims (1)

1. An apparatus for measuring the volume of skins and other flat objects according to the amount of sand intended to fill a certain volume of the chamber, partially occupied by a measured object, characterized in that the chamber 7 provided with slides in the upper and lower parts is located above the conveyor belt 10 for the purpose of tsadachi sand from the chamber to the tank 11 lever weights, the counterweight 13 of which is articulated by a cable drive with a counter 77. 2, With an apparatus according to claim 1, use an elevator 20 to lift sand from a hopper 19 located under the weights to a bulk funnel 6 equipped with an auger for uniform distribution of sand.
