An automatic sensor system for detecting and adjusting a level of contents held within a reservoir is disclosed. The system has a sensor probe having a probe housing with opposing ends, an interior cavity that opens through one housing end, and a constantly open air vent aperture piercing the housing proximate the other housing end, included within the housing are lower and upper level detection contacts that communicate information about the detected level to a circuit that signals for a contents delivery source to send additional contents when needed.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION An object of the present invention is to produce a sensor probe for measuring the level of contents within a reservoir that is resistant to wave action of the contents.
Another object of the present invention is disclose an automatic sensor system for adjusting a level of contents held within a reservoir.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a circuit for activating and terminating the delivery of contents into a reservoir.
The subject invention comprises an automatic sensor system for detecting and adjusting a level of contents held within a reservoir.
Included is a sensor probe comprising a probe housing having the first and second ends with an interior cavity that opens through the first housing end.
Proximate the second housing end is a constantly open air vent aperture piercing the housing.
Within the cavity are first means for detecting a lower level of the contents and second means for detecting an upper level of the contents.
In an associated circuit is a processing means for determining the lower and upper levels of the contents.
Additional contents are delivered to the reservoir when the first means for detecting the lower contents level is not in contact with the contents.
Contents delivery is terminated when both the first means for detecting the lower contents level and the second means for detecting the upper contents level are in contact with the contents.
Other objects, advantages, and novel features of the present invention will become apparent from the detailed description that follows, when considered in conjunction with the associated drawings.
