Liquid level indicator having an adjustable float

Abstract: A device for indicating a low level in the reservoir of an automobile windshield washer system comprises a warning light on the vehicle''s dashboard and a float-controlled switch that operates the warning light when the float drops to a predetermined level. At its lower end, the float has a series of end-to-end elements that are joined together by flangible connections so that one or more of the sections can be removed to shorten the float and allow it to be used in reservoirs of different depths.
