20150323097 | TOILET LEAK DETECTION KIT AND METHOD - The present invention provides an easily mounted, self-contained, compact fluid leak detection kit and/or method. The kit housing can be mounted by a homeowner or contractor between the wall outlet and the toilet input. When water begins to flow through the kit housing, a sensor such as a flow switch closes and applies voltage to the time delay relay. As long as the flow continues, the relay will count down the amount of preset time. The kit provides an adjustment to set a predetermined delay time, which is easily accessible and adjustable to the normal operating cycle time of any particular toilet. After adjusting the timer to the normal operating cycle time of the toilet, then the kit simply allows normal operation of the toilet as long as flow stops before the flow cycle. However, when a time has elapsed during the flow cycle to thereby indicate a problem leak, the relay will send voltage to a solenoid valve, which will stop the flow. The flow will remain stopped until an easily accessible reset button is depressed manually. | 11-12-2015 |
20150323412 | TOILET WATER DAMAGE PROTECTION KIT AND METHOD - The present invention provides an easily mounted, self-contained, compact fluid leak detection kit and/or method. When water begins to flow through the kit housing, a flow switch triggers a timer mechanism such as a processor. As long as the flow continues, the timer mechanism will count down the amount of preset time. The kit provides a manual or computer controlled adjustment to set a predetermined delay time or shutdown time, which is adjustable to the normal operating cycle time of any particular toilet. In this way, the water is shut off as quickly as possible if a leak occurs. The kit may also provide overflow protection, reset to initial values, low battery indication, and bypass function with suitable hardware to implement each. | 11-12-2015 |
