Abstract
1,003,006. Wind direction and force indicators. S. B. WILKS. March 12,1964 [May 21, 1963], No. 20117/63. Heading G1R. In a wind speed and direction indicator a circular mast 10 is universally pivotally mounted by a ball 11 on a board 12 and is attached to three equally spaced fluid filled flexible chambers 15 connected by pipes 19 to three equally spaced fluid filled flexible slave chambers 20 attached to the lower end of an indicator 25 universally pivotally mounted by a ball 24 in a bowl 23 provided with a spherical transparent dial e.g. calibrated with concentric circular rings 30 to indicate wind speed and surrounded by an annular disc 31 marked with compass points to indicate wind direction and the arrangement is such that as the wind force and direction moves the mast 10 the indicator is moved in harmony therewith to indicate the wind speed and direction on the dials 29, 31. In a modification, Fig. 3 (not shown) the indicator 25 is replaced by a bubble or a floating ball in a fluid filled chamber having a flat bottom and a spherical concentrically ringed graduated dial. In a further embodiment, Fig. 4 (not shown), the chamber is inverted and a ball rolls over the inner surface of the dial. In yet a further embodiment, Fig. 5 (not shown), the chambers hang from a ceiling or similar marked member. If the device is to be carried by a vehicle, such as a ship, the disc 31 may be rotated by a compass to show the free wind direction and a circular disc of appropriate diameter may be fixed to the top of the mast 10 with its axis coaxial with the mast. If the device is used on a ship the chamber of Fig. 3 is attached to a base plate and is mounted on gimbals. The fluid operating chambers 15, 20 may be replaced by electrically or mechanically operated means for the same purpose.
