Abstract: An activating mechanism is disclosed for an indicator. The mechanism includes a mounting bracket which may be connected to a container. A force transmitting member is slidably received by the bracket and extends through the container wall. The actuator is collapsible to be slid through an opening formed in the container wall. Through lever action, the actuator engages and moves the force transmitting member.
Abstract: A gauge or indicator (20) for providing a positive on/off visual indication comprises a lens (22) and a transition mount (24) with a resilient diaphragm (32) secured therebetween to define a sealed chamber therein. The chamber is filled with an opaque liquid (34) and a contrasting plug (36) which is secured to the diaphragm (32) and movable therewith responsive to an actuator stem (38) between an "off" position obscured by the liquid and an "on" position wherein the plug is visible behind the lens (22) upon displacement of the liquid. Additional embodiments (50, and 70) are also disclosed.
