Abstract

Apparatus for measuring the level of water in batteries of accumulators for motor vehicles. The invention relates to an apparatus which visualises and measures the level of water above the plates of the batteries. It consists of a translucent cylindrical body (1) in which a float (2) moves according to the upthrust of the water. This float is provided at its top end with a coloured pellet (4) which makes it possible directly to read, on the graduations of the translucent body (1), the height of water above the plates on which the apparatus is placed.

Description

DESCRIPTION
La présente invention concerne un appareil de mesure du niveau d'eau dans les batteries d'accumulateurs ipour l'automobile.DESCRIPTION
The present invention relates to an apparatus for measuring the level of water in accumulator batteries for the automobile.

Il est très difficile de connaître le niveau d'eau au dessus des plaques qui doivent être immergées de un centimètre selon les recommandations des fabricants de batteries.It is very difficult to know the water level above the plates which must be submerged by one centimeter according to the recommendations of the battery manufacturers.

A notre connaissance,il n'y a pas sur le marché, une jauge permettant ce contrôle.To our knowledge, there is not on the market, a gauge allowing this control.

L'appareil selon l'invention permet de visualiser et de mesurer le niveau d'eau au dessus de ces plaques.The device according to the invention makes it possible to view and measure the water level above these plates.

Cet appareil est compos d'un corpscylindrique(l)en matière translucide de diamètre 12 mm permettant de pénétrer dans l'orifice de remplissage des batteries.Sa lonqueur est de 9Omm.This device is composed of a cylindrical body (l) in translucent material with a diameter of 12 mm allowing to penetrate into the filling port of the batteries. Its length is 9Omm.

La partie inférieure pénétrant dans la batterie sur une longueur de 30 à 50 mm(suivant la marque),le haut du corps cylindrique(l)reste parfaitement visible.The lower part penetrating into the battery over a length of 30 to 50 mm (depending on the brand), the top of the cylindrical body (l) remains perfectly visible.

A l'interieur de ce corps(l),un flotteur en polystirène(2), se déplace dans le cylindre en fonction de la hauteur de liquide qui pénètre dans ce cylindre par un trou de diamètre six millimètres pratiqué au centre du bouchon inférieur(6). Inside this body (l), a polystyrene float (2), moves in the cylinder according to the height of liquid which penetrates in this cylinder by a hole of diameter six millimeters practiced in the center of the lower plug ( 6).

En fonction de la poussée du liquide,le flotteur(2)remonte dans
le cylindre(l)guidé par deux pastilles(4)et(5)qui réduisent les frottements du flotteur(2) sur le corps(l) de l'appareil.Depending on the thrust of the liquid, the float (2) rises in
the cylinder (l) guided by two pads (4) and (5) which reduce the friction of the float (2) on the body (l) of the device.

La pastille supérieure(4)de couleur vive permet de visualiser le niveau d'eau par rapport à des graduations de O à 20 mm gravées sur le corps cylindrique translucide(l)dans sa partie visible au dessus de l'enveloppe de la batterie.The brightly colored upper dot (4) allows you to view the water level in relation to graduations from 0 to 20 mm engraved on the translucent cylindrical body (l) in its visible part above the battery casing.

A ltextrémité supérieure du corps cylindrique(l),un cabochon(3) percé en son centre d'un évent,vientcoiffer l'appareil.At the upper end of the cylindrical body (l), a cap (3) pierced in its center with a vent, comes to dress the device.

le contrôle précis du niveau d'eau,assure aux batteries un meilleur fonctionnement et une plus longue durée de vie.precise control of the water level, ensures the batteries perform better and have a longer service life.

L'ensemble des composants sera réalisé en matériaux compatibles avec les exigeances techniques(poids du flotteur)et chimiques (corrosion du mélange eau-acide) All components will be made of materials compatible with technical requirements (weight of the float) and chemical (corrosion of the water-acid mixture)

Claims (2)
