Patents by Inventor Marc A. Brzozowski

Marc A. Brzozowski has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 6868724
    Abstract: A fuel level sensor that includes a housing having a cavity formed therein, and a resistor element disposed within the cavity for creating a signal that may be utilized to indicate a liquid fuel level within a fuel tank. A float lever is associated with the housing adjacent a first end and adjacent a second end with a float is responsive to the level liquid fuel in the fuel tank. The float lever includes a first magnet that is disposed adjacent to the housing. A wiper and contact assembly is positioned generally adjacent to the resistor element to generate a signal that may be used to indicate a liquid fuel level. The wiper and contact assembly includes a second magnet that is magnetically coupled with the first magnet so that movement of the float lever is translated to movement of the wiper and contact assembly.

  • Publication number: 20040251194
    Abstract: A strainer constructed for attachment to an inlet of a fuel pump has at least one layer of permeable material forming a cavity. A body is disposed at least in part in the cavity and has at least one tubular portion arranged for fluid communication with the inlet of the fuel pump to provide a substantially unrestricted flow path leading from the filter to the inlet of the fuel pump, while inhibiting vapor from entering the fuel pump.
