Filed:

Feb 22, 2002

Appl. No.:

10/079757

Inventors:

Holly Susan McDermott - Coppell TX 75019
Randy Scott McDermott - Coppell TX 75019

International Classification:

E03F 506

US Classification:

210164, 210282

Abstract:

An apparatus for use in catch basin openings and being located on the inside peripheral edge of the storm sewer opening at or immediately below the point where storm water enters the catch basin opening. The apparatus includes a plurality of troughs located along the inside peripheral edge of the storm sewer opening. Each trough or trough section is located on the inside peripheral edge of the catch basin opening and discharges to one or more sumps or bags. The troughs are positioned at or below the elevation of the point where the storm water would normally discharge down into the storm sewer and diverts this storm water to the bag. The sump or bag rests upon the troughs of the support and flow diversion device by means of gravity with some form of handle or string to attach the device to said trough. An absorbent material is incorporated into the apparatus.

US Classification:

Abstract:

An apparatus for use in catch basin openings and being located on the inside peripheral edge of the storm sewer opening at or immediately below the point where storm water enters the catch basin opening. The apparatus includes at least one of trough located along the inside peripheral edge of the storm sewer opening. Each trough or trough section is located on the inside peripheral edge of the catch basin opening and discharges to at least one rigid sump. Each trough is positioned at or below the elevation of the point where the storm water would normally discharge down into the storm sewer and diverts the majority of this storm water and any debris into the rigid sump from at least one open end in each said trough. The rigid sump is cooperatively engaged with at least one trough to form a modular unit. It is envisioned that two modular rigid sump and trough combinations will interconnect to form one apparatus for each catch basin. Both trough and sump occupy a portion of the peripheral edge. An absorbent material is incorporated into the apparatus to remove oils and grease.

Holly S McDermott - Coppell TX

International Classification:

E03F 506

US Classification:

210164

Abstract:

A apparatus for use in storm water openings equipped with a cover and openings that allow storm water into the storm sewer. The apparatus includes a plurality of troughs with a bottom and two sides that define the troughs. The troughs support an absorbent sock and directs storm water to openings between the troughs where the storm water discharges into a semi-permeable bag prior to discharge down the storm sewer. The troughs are equipped with small openings at each end and on each side of the trough with the purpose of holding a semi-permeable bag between two troughs. The structure, absorbent sock and semi-permeable bag are located on the peripheral portion of the storm sewer inlet. The structure is installed on the same support for the cover by a thin lip and the cover is placed on top of the lip. The absorbent sock provides the first stage of treatment of the storm water.
