  • Publication number: 20170115152
    Abstract: A liquid-level gauge is provided, which includes a body of transparent material having a head part connected to an elongated part with an end region formed with two facets of 45 degrees relative to a vertical line of sight along the elongated part with a common linear tip portion disposable into a matching socket to engage with a liquid-level in an enclosure tank. The liquid-level gauge includes a horizontal second planar member coupled to a first planar member inserted to a slot cut vertically into the elongated part from the common linear tip portion. The first planar member is engraved a first legend on two opposite sides and the second planar member is engraved a second legend on top side facing the two facets. The head part forms an aperture allowing a view of an image bearing the first/second legend when the liquid-level is fully below/above the two facets.
