Patent CA-2837589-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LAFONTAINE YVON
IPC: G08B21/20
Filed: 2013-12-19
Abstract: The water detector/alarm is a simple self-contained apparatus designed to be used inside residential and industrial buildings to detect water, and sound an alarm upon being activated by leaked or spilled water reaching it at floor level. It provides an early warning and allows quick corrective action, thereby keeping to a minimum the damages which can otherwise be considerable, since such water spills/leakages often come from high pressure and high volume water distribution networks. The apparatus is built around a box made of non- conductive material.  On the outside of the box, on its bottom, two parallel electrodes are installed, leaving a narrow gap between them. Those electrodes are connected to an alarm and a battery located inside the box. Under normal circumstances the box rests on the floor and causes the electrical circuit to be open, the air gap providing a gap in conductivity. When water on the floor reaches the apparatus, the gap between the electrodes gets filled by water which, being conductive, triggers the alarm, which is energised by the battery. The apparatus should be installed with the electrodes touching the floor at the locations most likely to produce spills or leakages by the water network or other sources.
