Leaching chamber having dosing pipe hanger
View Patent ↗A molded plastic corrugated arch shape cross section leaching chamber, which is adapted for connection to a like chamber with a pivotable connection, has a hanger for a dosing pipe which is contained within the concavity of a peak corrugation of the end of a mating chamber.
1. A molded plastic corrugated arch shape cross section leaching chamber which comprises:
a first chamber end having a dome shaped surface;
an opposing second chamber end, shaped to overlap the dome of a like chamber to form a pivotable joint between the chambers to allow the chambers to rotate in the horizontal plane relative to each other, the second end comprising a peak corrugation having an interior concavity which overlies the dome top surface when chambers are joined together; and
means for hanging a dosing pipe from the interior top of the chamber, the means being positioned on the dome shaped surface so the means is positioned under said peak corrugation to be disposed within the interior concavity.
2. A molded plastic corrugated arch shape cross section leaching chamber which comprises:
a first chamber end having a dome shaped surface;
an opposing second chamber end, shaped to overlap the dome of a like chamber to form a pivotable joint between the chambers, the second end comprising a peak corrugation having an interior concavity which overlies the dome top surface when chambers are joined together; and
means for hanging a dosing pipe from the interior top of the chamber, the means being positioned on the dome shaped surface so the means is positioned under said peak corrugation to be disposed within the interior concavity, wherein the means comprises perforations in the dome shaped surface through which portions of a hanger may pass, such that a portion of the hanger is disposed within the interior concavity to allow the opposing second chamber end and the dome of a like chamber to unobstructively pivot relative to each other when the opposing second chamber end and the dome of a like chamber are pivotably joined.
3. A wastewater distribution system comprising:
a multiplicity of arch shape cross section leaching chambers connected together at joints which enable pivoting between connected chambers, to form a chamber string;
a dosing pipe, for distributing wastewater, running along at least part of the length of the chamber string, at the top interiors of the chamber; wherein each chamber has
a first end comprising a dome shaped surface;
an opposing second chamber end, shaped to overlie the dome of a like chamber to form a pivotable joint between the chambers to allow the chambers to rotate in the horizontal plane relative to each other, so that the joined together chambers may pivot through a horizontal angle relative to each other, the second end comprising an end peak corrugation having a top interior concavity which overlies a top portion of the dome shaped surface when two chambers joined together; and,
means for hanging the dosing pipe within the interior top of the chamber, the means being positioned on the dome shaped surface so the means is positioned under said peak corrugation to be disposed within the interior concavity.
4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the means of hanging comprises a tie which is fastened together at a head, wherein the head is disposed on the top of the dome shaped surface to be within said interior concavity.
5. A wastewater distribution system comprising:
a multiplicity of arch shape cross section leaching chambers connected together at joints which enable pivoting between connected chambers, to form a chamber string;
a dosing pipe, for distributing wastewater, running along at least part of the length of the chamber string, at the top interiors of the chamber; wherein each chamber has
a first end comprising a dome shaped surface;
an opposing second chamber end, shaped to overlie the dome of a like chamber to form a pivotable joint between the chambers, so that the joined together chambers may pivot through a horizontal angle relative to each other, the second end comprising an end peak corrugation having a top interior concavity which overlies a top portion of the dome shaped surface when two chambers joined together; and,
means for hanging the dosing pipe within the interior top of the chamber, the means being positioned on the dome shaped surface so the means is positioned under said peak corrugation to be disposed within the interior concavity, wherein the means for hanging comprises a tie which passes through the perforations in the dome shaped surface and fastens together at a hanger head within said concavity, wherein the head is disposed on the top of the dome shaped surface to be within said interior concavity.
