  • Patent number: 10890478
    Abstract: The present disclosure reveals a level indicator for use with storage tanks on motorhomes or campers. The level indicator comprises a sensor attached to the bottom of a storage tank in order to allow easy access to replace the sensor in case of failure. The sensor is calibrated to indicate the amount of liquid above the sensor in the tank. As the level of the tank changes, a readout meter indicates the volume of liquid present by percentage.

  • Patent number: 4531507
    Abstract: A charcoal lighter device having a tubular housing adapted to rest vertically on a support surface and a handle assembly positioned outside of and attached to the housing. A charcoal support grate fits in the housing and has a first edge pivoted in the housing and a second edge. A grate support finger is connected to the handle assembly and is positionable, by the movement of the handle assembly relative to the housing, between an extended grate support position and a grate release position. The second edge is positionable on the grate support finger such that the grate is in a generally horizontal charcoal support position spaced above the support surface when the grate support finger is in its grate support position, and the second edge pivots downwardly from said generally horizontal position to a charcoal dumping position when the grate support finger is subsequently moved to its grate release position, thereby safely dumping the lit charcoal into a barbecue grill positioned beneath it.
