Abstract There are a number of types and sizes of containers intended to hold liquids, and it is difficult to stock level sensing devices suitable to all requirements. To simplify mounting and make possible the adjustment of an apparatus to fit a large number of different installations a level sensing apparatus includes a contact device and an attachment, which are interconnected by a carrier slidably fitted to at least one of said device or attachment. The carrier preferably is a rod provided with a scale to make possible a direct positioning of the device, and is further made of soft material or shaped in such a manner that it is easily deformed to both sides of the device, thereby definitely locking the latter in the desired position. To make possible a check of the position of the apparatus, when the latter as been fitted into the container, a control member is fitted to the device and extends outside the container. This member is provided with a mark, and the distance between this mark and the wall of the container is a clear indication of the location of the device.
Means for mounting a level sensing device within a container in which the device is connected to a removable attachment designed to be mounted in an opening in a wall of the container, the improvement that the device is mounted upon a rod-like carrier including a substantially vertical portion upon which the device is slidably mounted, to be locked at any desired distance from the attachment.

The means according to claim 1 in which the carrier is made of deformable material, and has an I-shaped cross section, between the flanges of said Iguides at the device are governed during the adjustment, the locking being brought about by a deformation of the flanges.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim

Means for controlling the position of a level sensing device mounted within a container by means of a rod cooperating with an attachment fitted to a wall of the container, the distance between the device and attachment being individually adjustable by a relative displacement of said device and said attachment along the rod, the improvement of a member being attached to the device, and slidingly passing out through a wall of the container, said member being provided with markings at known distances and of sufficient magnitude to guarantee that at least some of said markings will always be located outside the attachment.
