Patent ID: 7471206

Claim:
An indicator for use in detecting water levels within a container, which comprises: means operably disposable in the container for sensing water level and transmitting a signal in response to one of a high water level and low water level, wherein said sensing means includes a float housing operatively disposable in the container having an upper end and a lower end, said float housing has a lower divider extending transversely and an upper divider extending transversely therein and a first float switch mechanism has a first end of a first post secured to said lower divider and has a second end extending toward said lower end of said float housing and a first float movably disposed about said first post in a manner to be retained between said second end of said first post and said lower divider such that when said first float contacts a terminal point of said second end of said first post, said float switch mechanism is actuated in a manner to cause activating a low level indicator, and a second float switch mechanism has a first end of a first post secured to said upper divider and has a second end extending toward said upper end of said float housing and a second float movably disposed about said second post in a manner to be retained between said second end of said second post and said upper divider such that when said second float contacts a terminal point of said second end of said second post, said second float switch mechanism is actuated in a manner to cause activating a high level indicator; and means operably associated with said transmitting means for remotely receiving said signal and activating an alerting device of one of said high water level and said low water level.
