International Classification:

Abstract:

A transducer diaphragm overload protection system provides a core of insulating material for supporting a sensor and being movable relative to a deflectable diaphragm portion, and establishes a mechanical interconnection between that deflectable portion of the diaphragm and that movable core, while that core is in a movable condition. The movable core is rendered stationary relative to the diaphragm, and the mechanical interconnection is removed by establishing between the deflectable diaphragm portion and the core a gap corresponding to a predetermined diaphragm deflection, while maintaining the core stationary relative to the diaphragm. Advantageously, in pressure transducers having a ceramic core for supporting the transducer sensor, the desired gap may then be established by locating a dissolvable shim between the core and the diaphragm, while such core is movable, and by thereafter dissolving such shim after the core has become set in the transducer. Alternatively, the diaphragm may be deflected by application of an overpressure, whereby the core is moved into the desired position, and the necessary gap may thereafter be established by relaxing the diaphragm after the core has become set in the transducer.

Abstract:

A hand truck having in addition to the normal lower support platform and wheels, a structural loop for maintaining open trash bags in an erect and open condition on the platform. The loop is hingedly mounted to the hand truck about an axle for swinging upwardly and rearwardly so that it can be manually moved to a position where it does not obstruct the positioning of a conventional cylindrical trash container on the platform. The integral handle for the hand truck is formed to provide a stop for the rotation of the trash bag loop and the handle and the axle accommodate a clip-on tray which can be used to carry additional trash bags and small garden tools commonly used when collecting trash or pruning and trash bag clips.
