Abstract
A humidifier () is disclosed having a top portion (), a middle portion () and a bottom portion (). The middle portion is essentially a water tank which provides water to be used in humidification. The bottom portion has a floor () and side walls () extending from the floor to form a tub () having a select height (SH). The bottom portion is configured so that should water be uncontrollably released from the middle portion, the water level within the middle portion (MPEWL) will reach an equilibrium level with the catastrophic water lever (CEWL) within the bottom portion below the selected height of the bottom portion (SH). When the middle portion water lever (MPEWL) reaches the same height or equilibrium lever with the bottom portion catastrophic water lever (CEWL) the flow of water from the middle portion will cease. As this equilibrium level is below the select height of the bottom portion (SH) the water will be fully captured and will not overflow onto the underlying floor.
