Abstract
878,190. Indicating liquid levels. MEDINGER, VON W. Feb. 19, 1959 [Feb. 19, 1958], No. 5779/59. Class 123(1) A liquid level indicator comprises a float 1 containing a magnet 3 and slidably mounted on a closed tube 2 disposed vertically in the liquid container, an armature 4 which follows the movements of the magnet being disposed within the tube. The armature movements are transmitted by a chain 7 to a pulley 9 carrying a level indicating pointer 8, the chain passing over the pulley and being connected to a counterweight 10. To prevent the chain becoming jammed in the tube 2 if the float is lifted quickly, for example when the container is being cleaned, the chain is not connected positively to the armature but passes through a hole 6 therein and is connected to a weight 11 upon which the armature normally rests. If the float is lifted quickly the armature is raised from the weight 11 which continues to hold the chain taut and prevent jamming whilst the counterweight acts to wind the chain over the pulley until the weight 11 again comes into contact with the armature. In a modification a resistance thermometer is housed within the tube 2.
