Abstract
Abstract An accelerometer comprises a pair of stators, a permanent magnet arranged within each of the stators, arcuate support portions diametrically opposed to each other on the surface of each stator, a pair of ring members each of which is positioned on the arcuate support portions of a stator, and a support ring with a flapper interposed between the support ring members. The flapper is connected to the supporting ring by two hinge portions. On each side of the flapper is a bobbin on which a coil is wound, the coils being connected to an external circuit. All of the component elements of the accelerometer are constructed and designed so as to avoid stress depending upon a change in ambient temperature.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
198 words
An accelerometer comprising: a magnetic assembly having a first stator and a second stator; a pair of diametrically opposed arcuate support portions formed on a surface of each of said first and second stators; a pair of ring members each arranged in contact with said support portions of one of said stators; acceleration detecting means comprising a flapper made of cobalt-nickel alloy and a support ring member of non-magnetic metal, said support ring member being mounted between said ring members, said flapper being connected by two spaced hinge portions to said support ring member, and a bobbin having a coil wound thereon mounted on each opposed surface of the flapper, said bobbins being mounted on a support of the same material as or a material having the same coefficient of expansion as that of said flapper, each said coil being connected to a conductor of an external circuit at a portion on a transverse center line extending through the center of each of said two hinge portions; and a permanent magnet and a U-shaped pickoff means attached to each of said stators, said magnets being arranged so that poles of the same polarity are directed towards one another.

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
18 words
An accelerometer as claimed in claim 1 in which said support ring member is made of cobalt-nickel alloy.
