Abstract:
A tank and liquid level indicator has first housing that holds a liquid and a second elongated housing in fluid communication with the first elongated housing so that a liquid level in the second housing is approximately equal to the level in the first housing. A float in the second housing cooperates with the circuitry to operate one or more light switches. A light-transmissive cover is disposed over the light source.

Claim (Index 1):
A tank and liquid level indicator comprising:\n a first housing enclosing a first volume that holds a liquid; a second elongated housing enclosing a second volume, wherein the second housing is attached to an exterior of the first housing so that the second volume is in fluid communication with the first volume so that a level of the liquid within the second volume is approximately equal to a level of the liquid in the first volume; a float disposed within the second volume and being buoyant with respect to the liquid so that the float moves with the level of the liquid in the second volume along a first axis passing through a center of the float, wherein at least a portion of the float is magnetic so that a magnetic field extends from the float; a plurality of magnetic sensors aligned sequentially with respect to each other in a direction having a vertical component, wherein the magnetic sensors are disposed with respect to the second volume so that movement of the float within the second volume in response to the level of the liquid within the second volume causes sequential detection of the magnetic field by respective said magnetic sensors of the plurality of sensors; a plurality of light sources in electrical communication with the plurality of magnetic sensors so that the magnetic sensors control actuation of the plurality of light sources in response to the detection of the magnetic field; and a light-transmissive cover attached to the second housing so that the plurality of light sources is disposed between the second housing and an outer surface of the light-transmissive cover, wherein the outer surface is disposed on at least one side of a first plane that is parallel to the first axis and at an outer surface of the second housing and is disposed on an opposite side of the first axis from the first housing, wherein the plurality of light sources is disposed with respect to the outer surface of the cover so that a first portion of light from the plurality of light sources passes through the first plane and a second portion of the light from the plurality of light sources travels away from the first plane, wherein the plurality of light sources is viewable from an angle that is greater than 180 degrees, and wherein the angle is defined as an angle swept about a second axis, defined by an intersection between the first plane and a second plane that is perpendicular to the first plane and upon which the first axis lies, and wherein the angle is bisected by the second plane.
