연합인증

연합인증 가입 기관의 연구자들은 소속기관의 인증정보(ID와 암호)를 이용해 다른 대학, 연구기관, 서비스 공급자의 다양한 온라인 자원과 연구 데이터를 이용할 수 있습니다.

이는 여행자가 자국에서 발행 받은 여권으로 세계 각국을 자유롭게 여행할 수 있는 것과 같습니다.

연합인증으로 이용이 가능한 서비스는 NTIS, DataON, Edison, Kafe, Webinar 등이 있습니다.

한번의 인증절차만으로 연합인증 가입 서비스에 추가 로그인 없이 이용이 가능합니다.

다만, 연합인증을 위해서는 최초 1회만 인증 절차가 필요합니다. (회원이 아닐 경우 회원 가입이 필요합니다.)

연합인증 절차는 다음과 같습니다.

최초이용시에는
ScienceON에 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 로그인 (본인 확인 또는 회원가입) → 서비스 이용

그 이후에는
ScienceON 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 서비스 이용

연합인증을 활용하시면 KISTI가 제공하는 다양한 서비스를 편리하게 이용하실 수 있습니다.

초록

A connection system for a fluid level measuring system is disclosed. The disclosed connection system comprises an outer member (also known as a boss), at least one retaining means or clip, and a tube that has been previously shaped and in receptive within the outer member. The end of the tube not received within the outer member is associated with a cap or handle for inserting and removing a fluid level indicator blade (or dipstick).

1. A fluid level measuring device comprising:a tube having first and second ends wherein the first end of the tube has at least one lug and wherein the second end of the tube has at least one flange or protuberance, a handle having at least one slot for engaging the at least one lug of the tube thereby forming a bayonet connection between the tube and handle, a shaft associated with the handle and comprising a fluid level measuring blade, a tubular member dimensioned for engaging the second end of the tube wherein said flange or protuberance contacts a seat defined by the tubular member and wherein said tubular member is connected to a fitting that connects the tubular member to a reservoir containing the fluid level to be measured, an O-ring disposed between and in contact with the second end of the tube and the tubular member; and, a retaining means for maintaining the tube in engagement with the tubular member wherein the retaining means is inserted into the tubular member, wherein the tubular member defines at least one opening for receiving the retaining means. 2. The fluid level measuring device of claim 1 wherein the retaining means comprises at least one clip.3. A fluid level measuring system comprising:a tube having first and second ends wherein at least one flange or protuberance is adjacent to the second end of the tube, a handle that removably contacts the first end of the tube wherein the handle is connected to a shaft comprising a fluid level measuring blade. a tubular member dimensioned for engaging the second end of the tube wherein said flange or protuberance contacts a seat defined by the tubular member, a seal disposed between the tube and the tubular member; and, retaining means associated with the tubular member that is inserted into the tubular member for maintaining the second end of the tube in engagement with the tubular member and wherein the retaining means engages slots defined on opposite sides of the tubular member. 4. The fluid level measuring system of claim 3 wherein the tube is dimensioned to be received within the tubular member.5. The fluid level measuring system of claim 3 wherein the tube is received within the tubular member.6. The fluid level measuring system of claim 3 wherein the handle contacts the first end of the tube by a locking mechanism.7. The fluid level measuring system of claim 6 wherein the locking mechanism comprises at least one lug defined on the tube and at least one slot defined on the handle and wherein at least one lug engages said at least one slot.8. The fluid level measuring system of claim 6 wherein the seal comprises an O-ring located about the tube.9. The fluid level measuring system of claim 6 wherein the seal comprises an O-ring connected to the member.10. The fluid level measuring system of claim 3 wherein the retaining means comprises at least one member selected from the group consisting of compression, wrist pin, snap-ring or snap-fit connection.11. The fluid level measuring system of claim 3 wherein the retaining means comprises a clip that is inserted through said slots.12. The fluid level measuring system of claim 3 wherein the tubular member comprises a second tube that communicates with the fluid level to be measured.13. A fluid level measuring apparatus comprising:a tube having first and second ends wherein at least one flange or protuberance is adjacent to the second end of the tube, a handle that removably engages the first end of the tube wherein the handle is connected to a shaft comprising a fluid level measuring blade, a connection system for affixing the second end of the tube to a fluid reservoir or to a second tube that is affixed to the fluid reservoir wherein the connection system comprises: a hallow cylindrical member dimensioned for receiving the second end of the tube wherein said flange or protuberance contacts a seat defined within the member, a seal disposed between the tube and the member; and, a means for retaining the second end of the tube within the member that is inserted through at least one opening defined in the member. 14. The apparatus of claim 13 wherein the seal comprises an O-ring.15. The apparatus of claim 13 wherein the means for retaining comprises at least one member selected from the group consisting of a clip, pin or ring.16. The apparatus of claim 13 wherein the connection system affixes the second end of the tube to the fluid reservoir.17. The apparatus of claim 13 wherein the connection system affixes the second end of the tube to a second tube that is affixed to the fluid reservoir.18. A connection system for connecting a fluid level measuring device to an engine fitting or engine reservoir comprising:a first tube having first and second ends wherein the first end of the tube is open in order to receive a fluid level indicator, and at least one flange or protuberance is adjacent to the second end of the tube, a tubular outer member dimensioned for receiving the second end of the first tube wherein said outer member comprises a second tube that is connected to the engine fitting or directly to engine reservoir, an O-ring disposed between the first tube and outer member; and a retaining means associated with the outer member for maintaining the first tube within the outer member and wherein the retaining means is inserted through two openings defined on opposite sides of the outer member. 19. A fluid level measuring device comprising:a tube having first and second ends wherein the first end of the tube has at least one lug and wherein the second end of the tube has at least one flange or protuberance, a handle having at least one slot for engaging the at least one lug of the tube thereby forming a bayonet connection between the tube and handle, a shaft associated with the handle and comprising a fluid level measuring blade, a tubular member dimensioned for engaging the second end of the tube wherein said flange or protuberance contacts a seat defined by the tubular member and wherein said tubular member is connected to a fitting that connects the tubular member to a reservoir containing the fluid level to be measured, an O-ring disposed between the second end of the tube and the tubular member; and, a retaining means for maintaining the tube in engagement with the tubular member and wherein the tubular member defines at least one opening for receiving the retaining means.
