    Abstract: A finger-atachable device for sensing liquid levels by lowering it to the surface of a liquid comprises a member (1) which is preferably a housing which is adapted to fit a human finger, a float or piston (6) which is held in moveable relationship to the member and which, when the device is downwardly directed, is lower than the member and which is lifted relative to the member when it contacts a body of liquid and thereby brings an element (4) into contact with a finger in the member whereby the level of the liquid is sensed by the user of the device by touch. The housing may comprise a resilient member adapted to grip a human finger or a substantially non-resilient structure which maybe of thimble shape. The float may be surrounded by a member to protect it from damage and which may be removable for cleaning. The element (4) may be part of or an extension of the float. The device may be used with food or drink, hot, cold or dangerous liquids and by blind people.
