Level control

Claim 1

In a liquid level control having a motor device for providing said liquid to a vessel and a source of pressurized fluid for controlling operations of said motor, the improvement comprising: a housing; a float mounted on a first lever, said first lever being pivotally mounted on said housing, said float extending at least partially within said vessel; a single arm of said first lever, extending opposite from said float, including first magnet means; and magnetically controlled means for regulating the supply of said fluid supplied said motor, said regulating means including: a further lever, positioned within a first cavity in said housing, isolated from said first lever, also pivotally mounted on said housing, one arm of said further lever including magnetically attracted means, said further lever being so positioned as to be oscillatable as a function of the proximity of said magnetically attractable means to said first magnet means; bifurcated passageway means linking both said source with said motor and said source with said first cavity; throttling means for regulatably blocking passage of fluid through said passageway linking said source and said first cavity, said throttling means being positioned on another arm of said further lever opposite from said magnetically attracted means, whereby the quantity of said fluid entering said first cavity is incrementally increased or decreased as a function of the proximity of said first magnet means to said magnetically attracted means.
