20140325861 | OIL INSPECTION DEVICE FOR WORK VEHICLE - An oil inspection device for a work vehicle includes a conduit pipe, a projecting pipe, and an oil inspection tube. A dipstick is used to check the lubricating oil level in the oil inspection device. The conduit pipe has an oil inspection component where oil is checked and conducts the lubricating oil from a reservoir space to the oil inspection component, the reservoir space holding the lubricating oil. The projecting pipe is provided to the conduit pipe and faces upward from the oil inspection component. The oil inspection tube has a connector with a hexagonal prism shape. The connector is removably connected to the projecting pipe and disposed on an outside of the projecting pipe. The oil inspection tube is configured to have the dipstick inserted. | 11-06-2014 |

20080229602 | TEMPERATURE SENSITIVE DIPSTICK - A fluid level indicator for determining the level of fluid in a container includes a dipstick that is entered into the fluid in the container and withdrawn from the fluid, a billet of thermochromic material having a reference temperature, a billet length extending along a portion of the dipstick, and a fluid level range marking on the dipstick along the length of the billet. | 09-25-2008 |
20100095547 | Instant reading oil dipstick - The present instant reading oil dipstick automatically extracts a representative column of oil from the crankcase oil reservoir. Such is done inside of a translucent fluoroplastic tube. A machined brass slide valve, with sealing O-rings, fits inside of the metal dipstick tubing leading into the engine crankcase. When the dipstick is withdrawn for checking oil level, the slide valve automatically closes over an air vent in the plastic tubing, thus preventing the oil that is inside the bottom of the tubing from running out. The oil level can be ascertained, easily—even in low light levels—without having to wipe off the oil from the outside of the dipstick, and without having to reinsert the dipstick one or more times. | 04-22-2010 |
20160069726 | Cap with visible float gauge - The present invention, a cap for liquids with a visible float gauge, is comprised of a hollow, cylindrical cap made of transparent material, a color coded display of levels and/or a text display, and a fixed inner cylinder. The inner cylinder is attached to the cap top at its top end. The inner piece is concentrically placed in the cylindrical cap inside of the float gauge, and a float gauge is internally retained by the cap. The cap is then screwed on to a liquid reservoir as is found on a typical internal combustion engine, whereupon the float gauge floats on the liquid and is seen through the transparent part of the cap. The float gauge is the indicator, giving a liquid level reading. | 03-10-2016 |

20110061254 | Instant reading oil dipstick improvements - Instant Reading Oil Dipstick Improvements is a near universal design with most assembly done by the manufacturer. The customers can easily adapt such to match their existing dipstick geometry by pushing the adjustable parts to the correct location, where they will remain. The air valve is within a single, machined brass cone that adapts to the metal tube and seals in the engine vacuum. A new tubular plastic air seal around the wire handle increases reliability. And a cone shaped rubber squeegee will automatically remove oil from the outside of the tubing as the dipstick is withdrawn from the crankcase. | 03-17-2011 |
20110061255 | FLUID RESERVOIR ASSEMBLY - A bottle assembly has a bottle for storing a fluid, such as a cosmetic fluid. An applicator for applying the fluid is configured to be insertable and removable from the bottle along a path. A sealing body is configured to seal the bottle. The sealing body has a channel width movable between a first width and a second width. The first width is large enough to accommodate the applicator and the second width is smaller than the first width. The channel is resiliently biased toward the second width. | 03-17-2011 |
20110247230 | FLUID RESERVOIR ASSEMBLY - A bottle assembly has a bottle for storing a fluid, such as a cosmetic fluid. An applicator for applying the fluid is configured to be insertable and removable from the bottle along a path. A sealing body, or assembly, which may include one or more seals, is configured to continue to seal the bottle when the cap is removed. | 10-13-2011 |

20100154237 | MOTOR VEHICLE OIL DIPSTICK MEANS - An oil dipstick structure including a tubular plastic dipstick guide with an opening at one end thereof, and a dipstick rod connected to a sealing member at one end. The dipstick guide includes a dipstick abutment engageable by an abutment member on the dipstick rod when the dipstick rod is inserted into the guide. The dipstick abutment is located in the dipstick guide at the opposite end from the opening, and the length thereof is such that the dipstick abutment extends out of the dipstick guide when the abutment member of the dipstick rod is in engagement with the dipstick abutment. | 06-24-2010 |
