Hot Water Joe/Liz
Purpose of the Invention:
Hot Water Joe is a unique thermometer offering consumers a visual and
audio alert when water temperatures are desirable in showers, baths
and sinks. Freeing you up from repeated manual testing of water
temperatures, Hot Water Joe assesses the water for you! This cute
animal-shaped invention easily attaches to just about any surface and
recognizes the proper water temperature so you don’t have to! Hot Water
Joe was designed to put the fun in functional!
Problem[s] the Invention Solves:
Cold weather can affect water pipes. The initial water from those pipes
can be frigid and it may take several minutes for water to heat up and
reach the faucet at the user's end. No one likes to step into the shower to
unbearably cold water. The same is true for baths. People spend an
undue amount of time waiting for the water to reach a comfortable
temperature. Many place their hands under the faucet repeatedly in hopes
of finding the proper temperature. Performing other duties could save
time, but without the constant attention to the faucet there is no way to
know when a suitable temperature has been reached. That often sends
hot water down the drain. Hot Water Joe will alert you of the appropriate
condition so waste no longer occurs.
Detailed Description of the Invention:
Hot Water Joe is a clever tool that informs individuals of the proper water
temperature without the person having to test and re-test the water. This
is a fun shaped thermometer with designs including but not limited to,
monkeys, lizards and other cute animal shapes. The unit has a body that
is approximately 4 inches long. The "tail" end of the Hot Water Joe, the
monkey and lizard specifically, measure approximately 6 inches in length.
A copper wire “spine” allows the consumer to adjust and secure the
flexible plastic or rubber animal against faucets, showerhead and tub and
sink edges. By placing the tail of Hot Water Joe under the stream of water,
the built in thermometer located in the tail gauges the proper degree. A
simple bi metal switch programmed to alert when temperature level
reaches approximately 40C or 105F will be used. When this level is
attained the switch will close a circuit thus triggering an audio or visual
alert. This device contains an internal battery that powers the sound and
light alerts when the circuit is closed. When the consumer hears or sees
the alert, they know that the water is now at a comfortable condition. The
alert automatically switches the circuit to the open position and ceases
when the temperature drops out of range. An easier way to gauge water
condition cannot be found! This is a handy invention specifically designed
with convenience and safety in mind. Hot Water Joe will become an
indispensable part of any bathing routine.
