Patent Images
1. A fuel measuring device, comprising:
- a float disposed inside a fuel tank;
a rotatable body disposed within a housing and being rotatable by elevation of the float;
a supporter supporting the rotatable body;
a magnet mounted on the rotatable body, the magnet generating a revolving magnetic field; and
a magneto resistive sensor disposed at a distance from the rotatable body, the magneto resistive sensor detecting rotation angle of the revolving magnetic field,wherein the rotatable body comprises a cylinder having a flange provided on a peripheral surface of the cylinder and having extending parts that are generally perpendicular to the flange and protrude towards an opening on a front surface of the housing, andwherein the supporter comprises a pipe-shaped body and bent parts provided on one side of the pipe-shaped body, the bent parts being configured to correspond to the extending parts.
