Bathtub water level alarm

A bathtub water level alarm device for visibly indicating the rise of water level in a bathtub above a predetermined point, comprising:

• a self-contained water-tight case including a float element, a tubular stem element, and a tubular pivot element, wherein the case is unanchored and floats independently and totally free of the bathtub;
• a power source internally mounted in the pivot element;
• a gravity switch internally mounted in the float element which closes when the alarm device reaches a substantially vertical position;
• a visible warning indicator internally mounted in the float element;
• and,
• an electrical circuit connecting the power source, the gravity switch, and the visible warning indicator for activating the visible warning indicator when the gravity switch is in a closed position thereby alerting the user that a certain water level has been approximately reached.

A bathtub water level alarm device for transmitting a signal to a remote location indicating the rise of water level in a bathtub above a predetermined point, comprising:

• a self-contained water-tight case including a float element, a tubular stem element, and a tubular pivot element, wherein the case is unanchored and floats independently and totally free of the bathtub;
• a power source internally mounted in the pivot element;
• a gravity switch internally mounted in the float element which closes when the alarm device reaches a substantially vertical position;
• a transmitter internally mounted in the float element for transmitting a signal to a remote location;
• and,
• an electrical circuit connecting the power source, the gravity switch, and the transmitter being activated to transmit the signal to the remote location when the gravity switch is in a closed position thereby indicating to a user that a predetermined water level has been approximately reached.
