AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The design improves visibility of contaminants by using a floating separator and light reflection, facilitating quick identification of water and sediment levels, even in challenging orientations and environments.

Problems solved by technology

Because of wear, water, particulates, heat, and other factors, the oil may become contaminated.
In many situations, the color of the oil and other factors make distinguishing between oil and water in the sight glass quite difficult.

Abstract

The present disclosure relates, in one embodiment, to an oil sight apparatus. The oil sight may include a sight body with a chamber defined in the sight body. The chamber may include a top, a bottom, and a sidewall spanning from the top to the bottom. A separator may be located in the chamber. The separator may be configured to sink in oil and to float in water such that the separator may rest at an oil-water separation line in the chamber.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCES TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]The present application is a continuation of and claims priority to and benefit from the following patent applications, each of which is hereby incorporated by reference its entirety: U.S. patent application Ser. No. 15 / 698,826 titled “Oil Sight Glass” filed Sep. 8, 2017, which claims benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 385,790 titled “Oil Sight Glass” filed Sep. 9, 2016.BACKGROUND[0002]The present disclosure relates generally to an oil sight glass. More particularly, the present disclosure pertains to improvements in traditional oil sight glass devices.[0003]The function of an oil sight glass is to provide visual confirmation of water and / or debris in oil. The oil may be stored in a reservoir, and the oil sight glass may be connected to the reservoir. Oil reservoirs may be used to feed gearboxes, hydraulic systems, and lubrication systems. Because of wear, water, particulates, heat, and other factors, the oil may becom...
