  • Fuel level sensor with spring-loaded wiper contacts
    Patent number: 11874154
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for a fuel delivery system and a fuel level sensor assembly thereof. In one example, a fuel level sensor includes a wiper assembly with spring-loaded wiper contacts. Cylindrical springs are provided between a wiper housing and the contacts to bias the wiper contacts into contact with a resistive card.
    Type: Grant

  • Fluid-level sensor
    Patent number: 11674840
    Abstract: A fluid-level sensor includes a housing, a substrate supported by the housing and defining an arcuate slot completely though a thickness of the substrate, and electrically conductive traces disposed on a backside of the substrate. A wiper assembly is disposed adjacent to a front side of the substrate and includes an arm pivotal relative to the substrate and a wiper attached to the arm. The wiper has an elongate neck extending through the slot and a head attached to the neck and in contact with the traces to close an electric circuit, wherein the wiper is configured to move along the slot and slide across the traces responsive to pivoting of the arm to vary resistance of the electric circuit to output a fluid-level reading.
