Abstract

The present disclosure provides a water drainage system comprising: a plurality of lengths of drain pipe comprising a channel and a vertical wall, wherein (i) the vertical wall comprises one or more standoffs extending horizontally from the vertical wall and (ii) wherein the drain pipe comprises a top edge and a bottom edge, each of the top and bottom edges being bifurcated by a v-shaped notch.

Claims (17)

1. A water drainage system comprising: a plurality of lengths of drain pipe comprising a channel and a vertical wall, wherein (i) the vertical wall comprises one or more standoffs extending horizontally from the vertical wall; (ii) wherein the drain pipe comprises a top edge and a bottom edge, each of the top and bottom edges being bifurcated by a v-shaped notch; (iii) wherein lengths of adjacent drain pipe are connected to one another via a frictional fitted clip positioned at the end of two (2) lengths of drain pipe; and (iv) wherein a portion of the clip is disposed within either of the v-shaped notches formed on the drain pipe.

2. The water drainage system of claim 1 comprising the one or more standoffs in at least two (2) vertically displaced rows.

3. The water drainage system of claim 2 wherein the one or more standoffs are not continuous along a length of drain pipe.

4. The water drainage system of claim 3 wherein the clip is glued to the lengths of adjacent drain pipe.

5. The water drainage system of claim 1 wherein the v-shaped notches on each of the top and bottom edges form two (2) channels in the interior of the drain pipe.

6. The water drainage system of claim 1 wherein the drain pipe is formed from extruded PVC.

7. The water drainage system of claim 1 wherein a portion of the clip is disposed within the lower v-shaped notch formed on the drain pipe and a portion of the clip is frictionally engaged with the upper outer angled of the drain pipe.

8. A water drainage system comprising: a plurality of lengths of drain pipe comprising a channel and a vertical wall, wherein (i) the vertical wall comprises one or more standoffs extending horizontally from the vertical wall; (ii) wherein the drain pipe comprises a top edge and a bottom edge, each of the top and bottom edges being bifurcated by a v-shaped notch; (iii) wherein lengths of adjacent drain pipe are connected to one another via a frictional fitted clip positioned at the end of two (2) lengths of drain pipe; and (iv) wherein a portion of the clip is disposed within the lower v-shaped notch formed on the drain pipe and a portion of the clip is frictionally engaged with the upper outer angled of the drain pipe.

9. The water drainage system of claim 8 comprising the one or more standoffs in at least two (2) vertically displaced rows.

10. The water drainage system of claim 8 wherein the one or more standoffs are not continuous along a length of drain pipe.

11. The water drainage system of claim 8 wherein the drain pipe is formed from extruded PVC.

12. The water drainage system of claim 9 wherein the drain pipe is formed from extruded PVC.

13. The water drainage system of claim 10 wherein the drain pipe is formed from extruded PVC.

14. A water drainage system comprising: a plurality of lengths of extruded PVC drain pipe comprising a channel and a vertical wall, wherein (i) the vertical wall comprises one or more standoffs extending horizontally from the vertical wall; (ii) wherein the drain pipe comprises a top edge and a bottom edge, each of the top and bottom edges being bifurcated by a v-shaped notch; (iii) wherein lengths of adjacent drain pipe are connected to one another via a frictional fitted clip positioned at the end of two (2) lengths of drain pipe; and (iv) wherein a portion of the clip is disposed within either of the v-shaped notches formed on the drain pipe.

15. The water drainage system of claim 14 wherein a portion of the clip is disposed within the lower v-shaped notch formed on the drain pipe and a portion of the clip is frictionally engaged with the upper outer angled of the drain pipe.

16. The water drainage system of claim 15 comprising the one or more standoffs in at least two (2) vertically displaced rows.

17. The water drainage system of claim 16 wherein the one or more standoffs are not continuous along a length of drain pipe.
