ÖlmeßstabOil dipstick
Die Neuerung betrifft einen Ölmeßstab zum Messen des aktuellen Ölstandes in einer Brennkraftmaschine mit einem angespritzten Griffteil und einer durch eine Öffnung des Gehäuses der Brennkraftmaschine einführbaren in den Ölspiegel eintauchenden Stahlbandsonde mit jeweils einer Maxima- sowie einer Minima-Markierung für die Sollfüllmenge .The innovation concerns an oil dipstick for measuring the current oil level in an internal combustion engine with a molded-on handle and a steel strip probe that can be inserted through an opening in the housing of the internal combustion engine and is immersed in the oil level, each with a maximum and a minimum marking for the target filling quantity.
Bei derartigen Ölmeßstäben ist es üblich, außer den Markierungen für die Maximal-Füllung und die Minimal-Füllung, auch Füllmengenangaben zwischen Maxima- und Minima-Füllung auf der Sonde durch Einprägen anzubringen. Da die Füllmengenangabe als lesbare Zeichenfolge in üblicher Schrift erfolgen muß, ist bei der Herstellung der Sonde ein besonderer Arbeitsgang erforderlich. Außerdem ist die Information auf dem schmalen als Sonde ausgebildeten Stahlband schlecht ablesbar. Die Sonde muß dazu jedesmal von anhaftendem Öl gereinigt werden.With such oil dipsticks, it is usual, in addition to the markings for the maximum and minimum fill, to also engrave the fill level information between the maximum and minimum fill levels on the probe. Since the fill level information must be provided as a legible character string in standard writing, a special process is required when manufacturing the probe. In addition, the information on the narrow steel strip used as a probe is difficult to read. The probe must therefore be cleaned of any oil adhering to it each time.
Die Neuerung hat somit die Aufgabe, einen Ölmeßstab der vorgenannten Art zu schaffen, bei der die Füllmengenangabe leichter erkennbar ist.The innovation therefore has the task of creating an oil dipstick of the aforementioned type, on which the filling level indication is easier to recognize.
Dies wird nach der Neuerung dadurch gelöst, daß die Sonde lediglich mit den Markierungen für die Maximal- und Minimal-Ölfüllung versehen ist und die Füllmengenangabe als Text auf dem Kunststoffgriffteil angegeben ist.This is solved by the fact that the probe is only provided with markings for the maximum and minimum oil filling and the filling quantity is indicated as text on the plastic handle.
Die Markierungen der Sonde können beim Zuschneiden des die Sonde bildenden Stahlbandes gleich mit eingeprägt werden. Eine zusätzliche Prägeoperation zur Anbringung der Füllmengenangaben auf der Sonde kann entfallen.The markings on the probe can be embossed when the steel strip that forms the probe is cut. An additional embossing operation to apply the filling quantity information to the probe can be omitted.
Beim Anspritzen des Griffteils an die Sonde wird der Informationstext für eine Ölnachfüllmenge durch die Spritzform gleich mit hergestellt. Diese Information ist dann auch wesentlich besser lesbar als bei Anbringung auf der Sonde, da sie in größeren Zeichen darstellbar ist und nicht von anhaftendem Öl abgedeckt wird. Ein solcher Ölmeßstab ist gegenüber den bekannten Ausführungen billiger herstellbar und anwenderfreundlicher.When the handle is molded onto the probe, the information text for the oil refill quantity is produced at the same time by the mold. This information is then also much easier to read than if it is attached to the probe, as it can be displayed in larger characters and is not covered by adhering oil. Such an oil dipstick is cheaper to produce and more user-friendly than the known versions.
