UNITED STATES PATENT oEEIoE. i
ELMER, SEELEY, OF` CONNEATVILLE- PENNSYLVANIA.
FLUID-INDICATOR.
Specification of Letters Patent.
To all whom t may concern Be it known that I, 'Emma E. SEELEY, a i-ltizen of the United States, residingv at Conneautville, in the county of Crawford and.
State of Pennsylvania, have invented new andusefullmprovem'ents in Fluid-Indicators, of whichtion.
The inventicn'relates to fluid indicators, and more particularly to the class of combined fluid strainers and indicators.
Thelprimary object of the invention is the the following is a specifica- `provision of a device 'of this character in which fluid within a container can be measured so as to determinethe quantity or the .level thereof withiilthe container.
Another object ofthe invention is the provision of a device of this character .wherein fiuid when being introduced into a -container will be strained so as to render it free from foreign matter, thereby avoiding the accumulation of ysediment or foreign matter interiorly of the container.
A furtherobject of the invention is the provision of a device of this character wherein the indicator guide tubemay be 'detachably fitted within the inlet opening in a container and the closure for the latter connected therewith, thus obviating' the necessity of forming a separatel aperture for receiving the device or requiring alterationy in the`construction of the container or those ordinarily used. n v
Astill further object of the invention is the provision. ofa fluid strainer'and indi- 'cator which is adapted to be detachably l fluid vmay be strained andalso the luantity I receptacle.
accurately. measured when held wit A still further object of the invention is the provision of a devic'e of this character in which the length may be increased or decreased so as to admit it to fit fluid containers of varying depths, whereby the fiuid therein can be measured for determiningthe quantity or level thereof.
A still further object of the invention is the provision of a device ofthis character which is simple in construction, reliable and efiicient in its purpose, and inexpensive in manufacture.
With these and other objects in view the i in the invention consists in the construction, com- Patented May 13, 1913. i 4.Application tiled J' une 4, 1912. Serial No. 701,595. v
bination and arrangement of partsas Will be hereinafter more fullyV described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing, and pointed out in the claims hereunto appended.
In the drawing Figure 1 is a fragmentaryvertical sectional view through a fluid' container showing the combined lstrainer and indicator constructed in accordance with the invention mounted therein. Fig. 2 is a ver tical longitudinal sectional view through the device. F'g. 3 'is a perspective view of the cap .us c with the indicator. t
Similar reference characters vindicate corresponding parts throughout the several views in the drawing.
Referring to the drawings by numerals, 5
designates a portion of a body of a fluid' receiver which'may be of any ordinary wellknown construction, andis designed more. v
especially for use in automobiles, motor boats, orother self-propelled vehicles, the
, body being formed with the usual internally threaded filling opening for receiving a cap 6 which latter is adapted to be removed so that the tank may be lled by the pouring of fluid, through the opening in the body thereof.
Adapted to be inserted through the threaded openin in the body 5 of the tank is acombined uid strainer4 and indicator comprising a cap 7 formed with 'a central o enin .8 and also rovided With'an exter- P g P nally threaded .Harige 9 which is of less size than the circumferentiaLarea of the major eov portion of the said cap/7 and is designed to -v detachably enga e in the internally threaded opening in the/ ody 5 of the tank for the mounting bf/the said cap therein, after the screw cap 6 has been detached from the said tank. The cap 7 is formed withvan internally threaded annular wall lO'for permitting the screw cap 6 to be engaged therein,
- so that itmay be carried thereby.
. Fixed to or integral with the flange 9 of the cap 7 is the inner section 1l which ad'- justably telescopes within the outer section 12 of a tubular guide, the outer section/12 being formed with a closed bottom 13,'Awhile the side wall thereof is provided at intervals with vertically alining outlet openings 14,
. whereby 'on the pouring of fluid into the guide the same will discharge' through the outlet openings 14 into the body 5 of the inner face of the side wall of thev oute'r sectank for the filling thereof. Fixed to the.`
It 'is of course understood that when the. inner and outer sections 11 and 12 of the tubular guide are adjusted, so as to increase the length of the latter whereby the said guide may be placed withintanks of varying depth a measuring rod 17 of the re'- quired length will be fixed Within the cap 7 in' proper-'Working position in the tubular guide for measuringpurposes. In other words, when the tubular guide is shortened connection with the accompanying drawing,
it is thought that the construction and operation of the invention will be clearly understood, and therefore, a more extended explanation has been omitted. f
,Vhat is claimed is l. A device of the class described comprising a sectional extensible tube guide, 'a measuring element inovably mounted therein, one of said sections of the guide being provided with perforatiens, and a forarninous strainer strip covering the perforations.
2. The combination with a fluid container having a filling hole and also having a cap for the latter, of a device comprising sectional extensible tube guide, a measuring element movably mounted therein, one of said sections ot' the guide being provided with pertorations, a toraminous strainer strip covering the perforat-ions and means for suspending the said guide from the filling hole of the fiuid container and adapted'to receive the cap.v
3. The combination With a fluid container having. a filling hole and 'also having a screw cap for the latter, of a device comprising a. sectional extensible tube guide and having perforations, a measuring element therein, a foraminous strainer strip cover; ing the perfor-ations, lmeans-for suspending the said guide from the iilling hole otl the fluid container and adapted? to receive the screw cap, one of said sections being telescoped within 'the other odi-'the guide and adapted to permit. longitudinal'adjustment of the. latter. 7 y
