Abstract:
1. A moisture indicator for selective attachment to an existing diaper worn by a baby, capable of providing an audible alert and a visual alert when the diaper has been wet by the baby, comprising: an electrical circuit which includes an audible alarm which emits an audible alert upon selective activation, and a liquid crystal display bulb which emits an visual alert upon selective activation, said circuit having an open position and a closed position, and having an ON/OFF switch for selectively converting the circuit from the open position to the closed position and thereby selectively deactivating the alarm and the liquid crystal display bulb, wherein the circuit includes a mechanism for selectively activating the alarm and the liquid crystal display bulb when the diaper has been wetted by the baby; a battery compartment for housing an existing battery for selectively powering the audible alarm and the liquid crystal display bulb; a housing having a front surface, a rear surface, a top surface, a bottom surface, a first inner wall, and a spatially separated second inner wall, said surfaces and walls together defining three spatially separated chambers positioned in a side-by-side manner, said chambers including an alarm chamber for housing the audible alarm, a light bulb chamber for housing the liquid crystal display bulb, and a battery compartment chamber which encloses the battery compartment, said light bulb chamber having a plurality of perforations through which light is emitted when the liquid crystal display bulb is selectively activated; and a sac for suspending the housing comfortably against the external surface of the front of the diaper, said sac having a top and a bottom, wherein the top of the sac has a clip attached thereunto, said clip for selectively attaching the moisture indicator to the diaper.
