Hydraulic reservoir with fluid level detector
First Claim
1. A hydraulic reservoir with fluid level detector comprising:
- (A) a main body having an internal space for containing(B) a cap attached to said main body for covering a top opening of said main body;
(C) a diaphragm arranged across said top opening of the main body, the outer circumference of said diaphragm being held between said main body and said cap, and the space between said cap and said diaphragm communicating with the atmosphere;
(D) a reed switch fixed to said main body;
(E) a float provided with permanent magnet, so arranged as to be vertically movable in said internal space of the main body, said reed switch and said float with permanent magnet constituting a fluid level detector, and when said float with permanent magnet is positioned under a predetermined level, said reed switch being closed by magnetic force of said permanent magnet;
(F) operating means for pushing down said float, being vertically movable and able to be pushed down from the external against buoyancy of said float; and
(G) a cylindrical portion integrally formed with said diaphragm, being closed at the lower end, said operating means being inserted into said cylindrical portion and said float being pushed down through the closed end of said cylindrical portion by said operating means.

Abstract
A hydraulic reservoir with fluid level detector includes a main body having an internal space for containing brake oil; a cap attached to the main body for covering a top opening of the main body; a diaphragm arranged across the top opening of the main body, the outer circumference of the diaphragm being held between the main body and the cap, and the space between the cap and the diaphragm communicating with the atmosphere; a reed switch fixed to the main body, a float provided with permanent magnet, so arranged as to be vertically movable in the internal space of the main body, the reed switch and the float with permanent magnet constituting a fluid level detector, and when the float with permanent magnet is positioned under a predetermined level, the reed switch being closed by magnetic force of the permanent magnet; an operating rod for pushing down the float, being vertically movable and able to be pushed down from the external against buoyancy of the float; and a cylindrical portion integrally formed with the diaphragm, being closed at the lower end, the operating rod being inserted into the cylindrical portion and the float being pushed down through the closed end of the cylindrical portion by the operating rod.
