An accumulator warning system utilizing an electric system with an electric signal and wherein a movable member is disposed in a container having a gas on one side of the member and oil on the other side of the member. The movable member moves toward electric conductors when the gas in the container is depleted, and thus the electric signal is activated.

An accumulator warning system comprising a fluid container having fluid passageways at opposite ends thereof, a divider member movably and fluid-tightly disposed in said container for dividing said container into two compartments in fluid-flow communication with respective ones of said passageways,

An accumulator warning system comprising a fluid container having fluid passageways at opposite ends thereof, a divider member movably and fluid-tightly disposed in said container for dividing said container into two compartments in fluid-flow communication with respective ones of said passageways, electric conductors disposed in one of said compartments and being spaced apart and disposed in the path of movement of said divider member, an electric system connected with said conductors and including an electric power source and an electric signal, an electrically conductive member movably mounted on said divider member and extending therefrom toward said conductors and having a span at least equal to the spacing between said conductors and being movable on said divider member in the direction of movement of said divider member, a spring operatively associated with said conductive member for yieldingly urging said conductive member toward said conductors for yielding to the movement of said divider member toward said conductors after said conductive member is in contact with said conductors to thereby permit said divider member to move further toward said conductors after said conductive member is in contact with said conductors for energizing said signal, said conductive member being hat-shaped and having a crown portion and a brim portion, said crown portion being disposed toward said conductors and said brim portion being disposed toward said divider member, a flanged cylinder mounted on said divider member and having an end opening for telescopically receiving said crown portion and having a flange surrounding said end opening and being of a size smaller than the extent of said brim portion to overlap the latter and thereby movably restrain said conductive member relative to said divider member, an additional hat-shaped conductive member telescoped with and extending beyond and being smaller than the first said hat-shaped conductive member, additional said electric conductors disposed in said one compartment and spaced apart less than the spacing between thE first said electric conductors and at a distance to match the span of said additional hat-shaped conductive member, a spring disposed to yieldingly urge said additional hat-shaped conductive member toward said additional conductors, and an additional electric signal connected to said additional conductors and to said electric system.
