  • Patent number: 11222758
    Abstract: The construction comprises a rotary handle with a first pivot axis, a locking latch with a second pivot axis, a fixed bottom ring, a locking pin movable with the locking latch between a first position in which the rotary handle can be turned in relation to the bottom ring and a second position in which the locking pin prevents turning of the rotary handle in relation to the bottom ring, a shaft adapter rotationally movable against a spring force in relation to the rotary handle. The shaft adapter comprises a protrusion having a locking member which locks the locking pin into the first position when the torsional moment acting on the rotary handle exceeds the spring force acting on the shaft adapter causing a limited rotational movement of the shaft adapter in relation to the rotary handle.

  • Patent number: 11069492
    Abstract: The construction includes a rotary handle turnable around a first pivot axis between an open- and a closed-position, a locking latch turnable around a second pivot axis between a locked position and a released position, a fixed bottom ring, a first locking pin movable in the longitudinal direction with the locking latch between a first position in which turning of the rotary handle is allowed and a second position in which turning of the rotary handle is allowed and a second position in which turning of the rotary handle is prevented. A second locking pin is movable between a first position in which turning of the locking latch between a locked-position and a released-position is allowed and a second position in which turning of the locking latch into the locked-position is prevented.

  • Patent number: 5513535
    Abstract: Method and device of acoustic flow measurement for measurement of the flow velocities of gases and/or of quantities that can be derived from same. Long-wave sound is transmitted into a measurement pipe (10). The sound signals passing in the gas flow downstream and upstream are detected by means of two sound detectors (14a, 14b) placed in connection with the measurement pipe (10) at a specified distance (L) from one another, the flow velocity (v) of the gas that flows in the measurement pipe (10) being determined by making use of polarity correlation (15;15.sub.1, 15.sub.2) of said signals. The frequency of the sound that is transmitted into the measurement pipe (10) is scanned between a certain minimum and maximum frequency (f.sub.min, . . . f.sub.max). The measurement signals (f.sub.a (t), f.sub.b (t)) arriving from the two sound detectors (14a, 14b) are passed to a narrow-band filter (17a, 17b) or system of filters (17a.sub.1, 17a.sub.2, 17b.sub.1, 17b.sub.2).
