Abstract

A suspension support with volume indication for a LPG tank comprising a slidable upright pole, a securing rail having an opening as a sliding path, a retractable restoring device, a plurality of suspension hooks and a measuring device with a display capable of showing level indication is disclosed. The suspension support is characterized in that the securing rail is mounted at one end of the slidable upright pole and the restoring device connected the securing rail with the slidable upright pole at one end within the sliding path, the sensing section of the measuring device is mounted between the slidable upright pole and the sliding path, remote away from the restoring device, such that the sensing section produces a triggering action due to the weight between the securing rail and the slidable upright pole, and signal of level number is transmitted to the display of the measuring device to provide an indication, and the suspension hooks are mounted to one end face of the slidable upright pole to suspend at a lug on the LPG tank and the bottom of the LPG tank.
