Schwinimer level indicator for containers

The object of the innovation is a float content indicator for containers, e.g. fuel containers for internal combustion engines e The task was to create a To create content display., The production of which does not requires great expense «

The object is achieved according to the hiring in that the float is stored inside the filler sieve that goes deep into the container ο the float carries it preferably on its upper side a display stick provided with a scale; which, when the cover is removed protrudes from the container according to the height of the liquid level and from the lid when the container is closed is held down.

The content indicator after the inflation offers above all the advantage that it does not require its own cutout in the container wall. Even if the cap of the filler opening must be removed each time before the contents of the container can be read, it is still there

small envelope not in relation to the manufacturing costs of a separate arrangement of the content indicator, in particular in those cases in which the container is only "used" temporarily or infrequently, e.g. a fuel container is hot Portable pumps for fire extinguishing purposes.

In a further development of the innovation, a perforated guide bushing for the float is arranged inside the filling strainer. Such a socket ₉ which is narrow or in some way from the sieve. Would surround spacing _s provides a better guide ;, as the colander ₉ itself which is usually a woven fabric made of very fine wire forms, and is therefore easily deformed. The guide bushing, like the float _5, can be made of plastic. However, these parts can also be made of sheet metal. The guide bushing is advantageously carried out in adaptation to the filling sieve with a circular cross-section. The swimmer can also have an ice cross section. However, it is expedient au the float is another cross-sectional shape give _s which leaves a passage for filling the fuel between the float and the guide bush at some points of the circumference.

The price increase is illustrated in the drawing. Fig. 1 shows a fuel tank with a float content

indicator "in a vertical position with the cover removed Longitudinal section. In fig. 2 the same content indicator is shown with the container closed. In figs 3 and 4 there are two different cross-sectional shapes of the float are shown.

In the usual way, the container 1 has a filler neck 2 on its upper side, which can be closed by a cover 3. A wire screen 4 is suspended in the filling opening and extends almost to the bottom of the container. Within the wire mesh screen is the provided over its entire height with holes cylindrical guide bush 5 for the guided therein float 65 which is preferably designed as a closed plastic hollow body formed "on its top side carries the float one provided with graduations indicating rod 7, which in each case projects out of the filler neck Length shows the height of the liquid level in the container. An upper transverse wall 3 of the socket 5 contains a bore for guiding the indicator rod and further openings.

Fig. 2 shows that the attached to the filler neck Yerschlußdeckel 3 keeps the float 6 depressed over the indicator rod 7 below the liquid level. With removed The lid is buoyant by the float

liquid raised to the position shown in Fig «1» ¥ _e nn der. If the container is to be filled with liquid, the float with the guide socket can be lifted upwards by gripping the indicator rod. If the radial distance between the indicator rod and the hand of the filler neck is sufficiently large, however, the parts mentioned can remain in the container when it is filled.
