A sensor switch for controlling the fill level of granular material filled into a container in which the sensor may either be mounted adjacent a fill path of the container or at a separate location. The sensor includes an elongated arm pivotally attached to a bracket for operating a switch located within the bracket. The sensor may be adjustably mounted on an elongated, remote support member mounted either to the side walls or to the top of the container. The sensor may have three operating positions including an initial position, an actuated position in which the arm actuates the switch, and a third position in which the arm releases the switch.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A sensor switch assembly for control of the fill level of granular material filled into a container, said sensor switch assembly comprising:a bracket located at a fixed position adjacent a material fill path for the container;a sensor switch mounted on said bracket;a sensor arm pivotally mounted on said bracket in alignment with and engageable with said sensor switch; anda sensor element, projecting from said sensor arm and actuated by material moving into said container along said fill path, said sensor element and said sensor arm having three operating positions:A. an initial position in which said sensor switch is in an initial operating condition,B. an actuated second position in which said sensor arm actuates said sensor switch to a second operating condition, different from the initial operating condition, and maintains said sensor switch in the second operating condition, andC. a third position in which said sensor arm releases said sensor switch.
