ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for detecting the level of a liquid. A metal-detecting proximity sensor is placed near a non-metallic, vertically-positioned guide shaft. A float is placed on the liquid. A tube has one end attached to the float and the other end insertably placed within the guide shaft. A piece of metal is placed within the tube. When the apparatus is used for determining when the level of the liquid reaches a predetermined value, the metal piece has a boundary which is located at the height of the proximity sensor only when the liquid level is at its predetermined value. When the apparatus is used for measuring the level of the liquid, the proximity sensor has an output signal proportional to the distance from itself to metal and the metal piece has an outer surface whose distance to the proximity sensor at the height of the proximity sensor, changes with changes in the liquid level.
