Abstract: A flexible coupling is provided for connecting ends of two shafts which may be misaligned. The coupling includes a first member which is attached to one of the shafts and a second member which is attached to the other shaft. Each of the members has three dogs extending toward the other member but spaced therefrom with a resilient drive insert located therebetween. The drive insert has an annular flange which extends around the dogs and between the members and specifically engages shoulders or recesses on both members. The dogs have negative angles so that in the event one of the members should become loose on its shaft, the dogs will still remain in engagement. Finally, hubs of the members have locking inserts which enable the hubs to accommodate different shaft shapes.

The mandrel can be very short with a free terminating end from which the non-rotating coil feeds continuously for easy collecting or processing operations.

Abstract: Apparatus for guiding and coiling one or more metallic strands that are continuously advancing along their length from a casting apparatus. A coiling apparatus has an open-top coil-collecting basket with concentric, generally cylindrical inner and outer walls. A rotating cone is disposed over the inner wall. At least one boom and a set of opposed rolls and associated fairing assemblies mounted on the boom guide the strand from the casting apparatus to the coiling apparatus.

Abstract: A liquid filled differential pressure transmitter includes a metallic measurement diaphragm within a pressure chamber and a pair of isolation diaphragms sealing the chamber from the process fluid which serve to transmit the applied pressure signals to the measurement diaphragm. The isolation diaphragms bottom against mating back-up surfaces to limit deflection of the diaphragm during overrange pressure conditions. An electrically conductive liquid fills the chamber so that measurable electrical resistances are established through the liquid between the measurement diaphragm and a pair of electrodes adjacent thereto formed on opposite walls of the chamber. As the measurement diaphragm deflects in response to applied pressure signals, the electrical resistance between the diaphragm and each of the electrodes changes providing an output signal which is a function of the applied differential pressure.

Abstract: A differential pressure sensor comprises a pressure-to-displacement transducer resiliently coupled to a cantilever beam strain gauge arrangement. The pressure-to-displacement transducer is provided with overrange protection permitting substantial displacement in the range of measurable pressure differentials and the more fragile cantilever beam is provided with separate overrange protection more narrowly constraining its displacement. The resilient coupling between the transducer and the beam absorbs the displacement differential. As a consequence of this structure, the device can provide high sensitivity readings in the measurable range of pressure differentials and is protected against pressure differentials greatly in excess of the measurable range.

Abstract: The voltage drops across a series-connected pair of strain gauges and arbitrary resistance are measured at zero and maximum stresses at three temperatures. The appropriate resistance for span compensation at the two extreme temperatures is then calculated from these values. The span compensation resistance is then distributed between a first resistor connected in series with one of the strain gauges and a second resistor connected in series with the other strain gauge. Initially, the first resistor is assigned a value of one ohm and the second resistor the remainder. With these values the series/parallel resistances required for temperature compensation at zero stress are calculated for the two extreme temperatures. The outputs at zero stress are then calculated for both the maximum temperature and the intermediate temperature and the difference between these outputs is obtained.
