Patent ID: 8643497

Claim:
A fluid-filled device with an integral fluid detection and containment apparatus comprising: a fluid-filled device including a water tank; a fluid apparatus mounted internal to said fluid-filled device, said fluid apparatus including; a base, said base including a canal located between an exterior wall and a centrally-located platform, said canal having a tapered floor such that fluid in contact with said floor is gravitationally directed to a reservoir located in said base; at least one fluid detector having at least one control point, for detecting at least one of the group consisting of a presence of said fluid, a height of said fluid, and combinations thereof for activating said control point upon such detection; at least one water displacement mechanism located in or proximate to said reservoir having at least one control circuit coupled to said control point, said control circuit controlling said water displacement mechanism based upon a status of said control point; and at least one fluid conduit in fluid communication between said reservoir and at least one drainage area; wherein energization of said water displacement mechanism causes said fluid in said reservoir to be discharged from said reservoir through said fluid conduit to said drainage area.
