ABSTRACT:
In order to avoid a liquid overfill condition and detect a maximum liquid level in a liquid containing reservoir 12, a filler pipe assembly 10 is provided in which an elongated filler pipe 14 has one end 16 integral with the liquid containing reservoir 12 and the other end 18 remote from the liquid containing reservoir 12. The elongated filler pipe 14 has a liquid-supplying opening 20 at the end 16 thereof integral with the liquid containing reservoir 12 and a liquid-receiving opening 22 at the end 18 thereof remote from the liquid containing reservoir 12. It also includes a liquid passageway 24 extending between the liquid-receiving opening 22 and the liquid-supplying opening 20. The elongated filler pipe 14 is adapted to receive liquid in the liquid-receiving opening 22 and direct liquid along the liquid passageway 24 and into the liquid containing reservoir 12 as it exits the liquid-supplying opening 20. The assembly 10 still further includes a one-way barrier 26 positioned relative to an overfill opening 28 in the elongated filler pipe 14 at a point remote from the liquid-receiving opening 22. With this arrangement, the barrier 26 directs liquid introduced at the liquid-receiving opening 22 past the overfill opening 28 and into the liquid containing reservoir 12 while allowing liquid in the liquid containing reservoir 12 to escape through the overfill opening 28 in the event of introduction of liquid in a quantity sufficient to reach the overfill opening 28 in a liquid overfill condition.
