6415618 - Device for detecting full dehumidifier water tank - Owned by LG Electronics Inc. (Seoul,KR)

Dehumidifier including a water tank under a cabinet for storage of condensate dropped from a heat exchanger, a vertical barrier in front of the water tank for separating a space, a fixing guide fitted to a fitting hole on a top surface of the water tank, a floater rotatably fitted to the fixing guide for being rotated by buoyancy, and detection means fitted to one side of the barrier for detection of full water tank as the floater rotates, thereby detecting a full water tank more, accurately.

5083461 - Low friction trunnion bearing and high pressure seal - Owned by Fisher Controls International, Inc. (Clayton, MO)

A high pressure, fluid level sensor and seal includes a body supporting a removable end cap and housing a trunnion bearing comprising a pivot disk that is pivotable about a pivot axis formed by a pair of pivot pins that are secured to the base of the end cap. The pivot disk is connected to a control arm that freely passes through the end cap. The pivot disk is also connected to a displacer arm that engages a float or displacer in communication with fluid in a high pressure tank. A compression spring acting between the control arm and the end cap biases the pivot disk against the pivot pins. The control arm engages an operating mechanism in a controller that includes a relay. The body is secured in the wall of a high pressure tank. A high pressure seal is formed by a spacer that forms a slip fit with an annular recess on the pivot disk and which engages the end cap and O-rings. The O-rings couple the spacer to the pivot disk and couple the spacer to the end cap. Small pivotal movement of the pivot disk about the pivot pins does not disrupt the high pressure seal. The entire assembly is readily removable from the tank for servicing without requiring removal of the body.

4620441 - Liquid level control - Owned by Custom Engineering & Mfg. Co. (Tulsa, OK)

A liquid level control responsive to the level of liquid in a vessel having visual verification of fluid level including a tubular body for attachment to an opening in a vessel, the body having aligned openings in opposite sides receiving a pivot shaft, a control box mounted on one side and receiving an extension of the pivot shaft, an arm having one end attached to the pivot shaft and extending out the end of the body into the vessel and having a float on the end which is responsive to the level of liquid within the vessel, a control system within the box actuated by rotation of the pivot arm, and a transparent sight glass sealably closing the end of the tubular body so that the operator can observe the liquid level in the vessel through the sight glass.

6006605 - Level maintaining apparatus for a liquid

An apparatus for automatically maintaining a level of water in a pool reservoir comprising a housing which includes a transmitter/receiver device, a logic circuit in communication with the transmitter/receiver device, a valve assembly controlled by the logic circuit, and a water inlet and a water outlet in communication with the valve assembly. In addition to the housing, the apparatus also comprises a power supply connected to the housing, a float in communication with the housing, the float pivotally connected at a front portion of the housing facing a reservoir, the float further riding a surface of the reservoir, and a flag in communication with the float, the flag positioned to come into a parallel position with the transmitter/receiver.

6089086 - Liquid level gauge - Owned by Rochester Gauges, Inc. (Dallas, TX)

A float-type liquid level gauge is provided for measuring the level of a liquid such as LPG within a horizontally oriented cylindrical tank (228). The gauge includes a movable pivot arm (212) supporting a float arm assembly (225) and coupled by gears (207, 214) to a magnet shaft (206, 208) and magnet (210) mounted in a rigid support arm (204) through a sideways-securing shaft channel(209). The support arm is connected to the lower side of a gauge head (202) and the magnet extends into a passage (52) in the gauge head so as to be magnetically coupled to a level indicating dial (226) provided on the upper side of the gauge head. The lower portion (302) of the support arm is angled and offset with respect to a longitudinal axis (265) such that a high ratio can be obtained between the gears while still permitting the components of the gauge to pass through the opening of a standard pressure fitting (234).
