Abstract

A Vehicle Water Flow Level System with Display and Memory Controllers has an external unit with inner and outer chambers which can be easily attached to the exterior of the vehicle while the Display and Memory Controllers can be within the interior. The overall shape of the external unit can be vertical. The inner chamber can contain the float meter while the outer chamber can support the water flow meter at the bottom. Also at the bottom could be a screen adapter for a replaceable screen screw that acts as a filter, preventing debris from entering the inner chamber affecting the float meter. The controllers have a calibrating feature for adapting to various vehicle heights

Claims

1. A vehicle water flow level system with display and memory controllers for monitoring, logging and displaying the level and flow of water around a vehicle, comprising:

means for providing an outlet for excess water in chamber;

means for moving with the rise and fall of water in the chamber;

means for measuring the rate water is moving around the vehicle;

means for accepting the replaceable filter screw;

means for supporting the removable filter, removably fitted to said means for accepting the replaceable filter screw;

means for filtering so that only clear water enters the inner chamber, firmly fitted to said means for supporting the removable filter;

means for supporting the float switch, rigidly connected to said means for accepting the replaceable filter screw, moveably connected to said means for moving with the rise and fall of water in the chamber, and firmly secured to said means for providing an outlet for excess water in chamber;

and

means for recording, converting and displaying signals from the flow and level switches.

2. The vehicle water flow level system with display and memory controllers in accordance with claim 1, wherein said means for providing an outlet for excess water in chamber comprises an overflow.

3. The vehicle water flow level system with display and memory controllers in accordance with claim 1, wherein said means for moving with the rise and fall of water in the chamber comprises a float switch.

4. The vehicle water flow level system with display and memory controllers in accordance with claim 1, wherein said means for measuring the rate water is moving around the vehicle comprises a flow switch.

5. The vehicle water flow level system with display and memory controllers in accordance with claim 1, wherein said means for accepting the replaceable filter screw comprises a screw adapter.

6. The vehicle water flow level system with display and memory controllers in accordance with claim 1, wherein said means for supporting the removable filter comprises a replaceable filter screw.

7. The vehicle water flow level system with display and memory controllers in accordance with claim 1, wherein said means for filtering so that only clear water enters the inner chamber comprises a filter.

8. The vehicle water flow level system with display and memory controllers in accordance with claim 1, wherein said means for supporting the float switch comprises an inner chamber.

9. The vehicle water flow level system with display and memory controllers in accordance with claim 1, wherein said means for recording, converting and displaying signals from the flow and level switches comprises a display and memory controllers.

10. A vehicle water flow level system with display and memory controllers for monitoring, logging and displaying the level and flow of water around a vehicle, comprising:

an overflow for providing an outlet for excess water in chamber;

a float switch, for moving with the rise and fall of water in the chamber;

a flow switch, for measuring the rate water is moving around the vehicle;

a screw adapter, for accepting the replaceable filter screw;

a replaceable filter screw, for supporting the removable filter, removably fitted to said screw adapter;

a filter, for filtering so that only clear water enters the inner chamber, firmly fitted to said replaceable filter screw;

an inner chamber, for supporting the float switch, rigidly connected to said screw adapter, moveably connected to said float switch, and firmly secured to said overflow;

an outer chamber, rigidly connected to said inner chamber, rigidly connected to said screw adapter, and rigidly connected to said flow switch; and

a display and memory controller, for recording, converting and displaying signals from the flow and level switches.
