Abstract
A level indicator having a support, a thick-film resistor network arranged on the support, a bow that carries a contact structure that produces, depending on the position of the bow, an electrical signal in the thick-film resistor network, a lever arm that is retained in the bow and has a float on its other end. The float having has a seat for the lever arm. The lever arm has a pivoting range in a first plane. The float has a second plane that is perpendicular and that extends perpendicular to the first plane and through the center of mass of the float. The float is mounted on the lever arm to be positionally immobile. The seat for the lever arm is arranged in a region of the float which is arranged on the side of the second plane that faces away from the seat of the bow and that is delimited by the second plane and the outer periphery of the float.

8. A level indicator comprising:
-
a support; a thick-film resistor network arranged on the support; a bow that is pivotable with respect to the support; a contact structure carried by the bow configured to contact the thick-film resistor network to produce an electrical signal in the thick-film resistor network depending on a bow position; a lever arm having a first end retained in the bow, the lever arm having a pivoting range lying in a first plane; and a float immovably fixed to a second end of the lever arm, the float comprising; a second plane between first and second longitudinal ends of the float extending through a center of mass of the float perpendicular to the first plane; a seat for the second end of the lever arm arranged in a region of the float delimited by the second plane and the first longitudinal end of the float on a side of the second plane that is further away from the bow. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
