Pressure indicator for automotive radiator, senses a predefined pressure and flags off a permanent trigger
The invention, a pressure indicator assembly is thread fitted onto a Radiator; the pressure indicator is designed to conduct 2 unique functions of sensing the pre-decided maximum sustainable pressure and communicating the same. Once the pre-decided maximum sustainable pressure of the Radiator is reached, a spring gets actuated and allows air (or steam) to flow inside the pressure indicator assembly. The air flow pushes an arrow head component; the top portion of the arrow head component shoots through a rubber retainer center hole into a visible transparent tube of the assembly. The retainer rubber and the transparent tube only allow partial passage of the arrow head component and entrap its base stem portion permanently, hence permanently flagging off the arrow head component. The flagged arrow head component is visible through the transparent tube, indicating the maximum pressure has been reached.
1. An indicator fitted on a radiator to sense a pre-decided maximum sustainable pressure of the radiator having been reached, wherein the indicator communicates that the pre-decided maximum sustainable pressure of the radiator has been reached by flagging off an arrow head component ( 10 / 19 ) of the indicator, the arrow head component ( 10 / 19 ) on its return gets trapped by a rubber retainer ( 11 / 20 ) in the indicator such that the arrow head component ( 10 / 19 ) stays flagged permanently.
