A decelerometer of the type comprising a tiltable mercury tube deceleration switch carried on a first plate that is pivotally mounted on a second plate which may be secured to a moving object, such as a railway vehicle. A screw mechanism intermediate the first and second plates is arranged to effect adjustment of the degree of tilt of the first plate relative to the second plate in order to accommodate factory calibration of the degree of deceleration which the deceleration switch is intended to sense. The screw mechanism is further arranged to provide upper and lower mechanical stops to limit the range of deceleration adjustment and thereby prevent unauthorized field adjustment of the deceleration sensitivity beyond a safe level, when subsequently installed on a railway vehicle. A reference marking placed on the mercury tube in alignment with the level of mercury therein, when the deceleration switch is factory calibrated at the desired deceleration level serves as a means of properly positioning the decelerometer when installed on the railway vehicle so as to accurately retain the factory calibrated deceleration setting, since the lower limit of the deceleration adjustment locks out the mercury/contact closure of the deceleration switch as a means of obtaining a static zero mph/sec. reference. |

TOMOHIRO K; ONISHI K |
A switch which is closed or opened by an external force applied thereto. A weight resiliently suspended in the switch casing and an electrically conductive liquid in the casing are alternatively caused by an external force applied thereto to move thereby to establish electrical connection between the two switch terminals.

BREED DAVID S |
An integrating accelerometer using a liquid which serves both as the sensing mass and the integrator through using the acceleration acting on the mass of the fluid to create a pressure which forces a small portion of the same fluid through a restriction giving rise to either laminar or turbulent duct flow or inertial flow through an orifice or sharp edge slit.

BOSCH MATHIJS VAN DEN |
A device for protecting cars against skidding in curves, comprising a housing, filled with an electrically conducting liquid which is influenced by the centrifugal force when the car travels through the corner at speed, so that the level of the conducting liquid assumes an inclined position and the liquid can close or open an electrical circuit, leading to the switching-off of the ignition. By means of a displacer body the sensivity of the device can be adjusted.
