Submersible meter register case and assembly
First Claim
1. A register case for a fluid meter totalizing register suitable for submerged service, comprising:
- a housing comprising a water impermeable elastomeric material defining at least one wall of a cavity, said cavity having a top opening and a bottom opening and defining a volume therebetween for receiving and containing therewithin, in a region in between said top opening and said bottom opening, a fluid meter totalizing register,a transparent lens closing said top opening in a direct, water-tight sealing engagement with said wall of said housing, anda magnetic-force transmitting element of water impermeable material closing said bottom opening in a direct, water-tight sealing engagement with said wall of said housing,the register having a rotatable register element disposed within said cavity adjacent an inner surface of said magnetic-force transmitting element, the rotatable register element adapted to be driven by magnetic coupling with a rotatable meter element disposed adjacent an opposite, outer surface of said magnetic-force transmitting element.

Abstract
A fluid meter totalizing register assembly suitable for submerged service includes a fluid meter totalizing register and a register case. The register case has a housing comprising a water impermeable elastomeric material defining at least one wall of a cavity for receiving the fluid meter totalizing register. The register case includes a transparent lens of water impermeable material closing a top opening of the cavity in a water-tight seal with the wall of the housing, and a magnetic-force transmitting element of water impermeable material closing a bottom opening of the cavity in a water tight seal with the wall of the housing. The register includes a rotatable register element disposed within the cavity adjacent an inner surface of the magnetic-force transmitting element. The rotatable register element is driven by magnetic coupling with a rotatable meter element disposed adjacent an opposite, outer surface of the magnetic-force transmitting element.
