Abstract

An improved condensate pump for use with items that exhibit condensation having an audible alarm and concentrating flange.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What I claim is: 
     
         1 . An improved pump comprising:
 a pump housing;   the pump housing having at least one hole;   the pump housing having at least one lip;   the pump housing having a first part;   the pump housing having a second part;   the second part being capable of collecting fluid;   at least one level indicator;   at least one float;   the at least one float being situated in the second part;   the at least one float moving as the amount of fluid collecting in the second part increases or decreases;   the at least one float, by moving, being capable of actuating the at least one level indicator;   the at least one level indicator emitting sound waves upon being actuated by the at least one float;   the sound waves passing through the at least one hole;   the at least one lip interposing the sound waves.   
     
     
         2 . An improved pump comprising:
 a housing;   the housing having a hole;   the housing having a lip;   a reservoir;   the reservoir being located within the housing;   the reservoir being capable of collecting liquid;   a float;   the float being located within the reservoir;   a rod;   the rod being attached to the float;   a switch;   a level indicator;   the switch electrically connected to the level indicator;   the switch being capable of actuating the level indicator;   the rod being capable of contacting the switch;   the level indicator being capable of emitting sound waves upon being actuated by the switch;   the sound waves emitted from the level indicator exiting the pump by passing through the hole;   the lip being situated sufficiently proximate to the hole whereby the sound waves emitted from the level indicator become concentrated.   
     
     
         3 . An improved pump for removing condensate, the pump comprising:
 a housing;   the housing capable of containing condensate;   a float;   the condensate floating the float;   an activator;   the activator being attached to the float;   an audible alarm;   a switch;   the switch being capable of activating the audible alarm;   the activator being capable of causing the switch to activate the audible alarm;   an orifice;   a flange;   the orifice positioned sufficiently adjacent to the audible alarm such that sound waves emitted from the audible alarm pass through the orifice;   the flange being attached to the housing;   the flange being sufficiently positioned adjacent to the orifice such that the flange is interposing with the sound waves.
