| 摘要 | A water level control device having a mounting bracket formed of electrically conductive material and a cover member formed of electrically conductive material that is spaced from the bracket by an electrically non-conductive body member. A conductive strap is carried by the device and is disposed in contact with the bracket and with the metallic cover so that when the bracket is attached to a grounded frame structure of an appliance, the conductive cover will also be grounded. | ||||||
| 权利要求 | 1. In a water level control device having a mounting bracket formed of electrically conductive material and a first part formed of electrically conductive material that is normally spaced from said bracket by a second part formed of electrically insulating material, the improvement comprising a conductive member being carried by said device for the sole purpose of being disposed in contact with said bracket and said first conductive part so that when said bracket is attached to a grounded frame structure, said first conductive part will also be grounded. 2. In a water level control device as set forth in claim 1, the further improvement wherein a fastening member secures said bracket to said control device, said fastening member also fastening said conductive member to said bracket. 3. In a water level control device as set forth in claim 1, the further improvement wherein said first part has a portion thereof secured to said second part of said device, said portion of said first part also being secured to said conductive member. 4. In a water level control device as set forth in claim 3, the further improvement wherein said second part of said device has a flange means and said portion of said first part is crimped over said flange means to secure the same together, said conductive member having one end thereof crimped between said flange means and said portion of said first part. 5. In a water level control device as set forth in claim 4, the fuRther improvement wherein said conductive member comprises a metallic strap having the other end thereof secured between said bracket and said second part, said strap between said ends thereof conforming to the contour of said second part. 6. In a water level control device having a mounting bracket formed of electrically conductive material and at least one exposed part formed of electrically conductive material that is normally spaced from said bracket by another exposed part formed of electrically insulating material so as to be electrically isolated from said bracket, the improvement comprising conductive means being carried by said device for the sole purpose of being disposed in contact with said bracket and all of said exposed conductive parts so that when said bracket is attached to a grounded frame structure, all of said exposed conductive parts will also be grounded. |
