Auto shutoff overflow controller
First Claim
1. ) An automatic shutoff overflow controller for use in shutting off a powered liquid processing device when an undesirably high level of liquid is sensed in a liquid containment for liquid draining from the device, the controller comprising a circuit engaged between the device and a source of power therefor and including conductive sensor probes placed at a desired level within the liquid containment such that, when the probes become immersed in liquid, an audible warning is produced and flow of power from the source to the device is interrupted.

Abstract
The automatic shutoff overflow controller comprises a circuit which engages between a source of power and a water processing device, the controller, sensing an undesirably high water level in a liquid containment into which water drains from the device, shutting off the device and producing an audible warning that such condition exists.
