Catch basin system and corresponding water drainage system
View Patent ↗A catch basin system includes an upper housing and a lower housing. The upper housing defines an upper region of a first conduit and an upper region of a second conduit. The first and second conduits are aligned along a first axis. The lower housing is removably secured to the upper housing. The lower housing defines a lower region of the of the first conduit, a lower region of the second conduit, a third conduit disposed below the first conduit, a fourth conduit disposed below the second conduit, and a sump disposed between the third and fourth conduits and below the third and fourth conduits. The third and fourth conduits are aligned along a second axis. The first, second, third, and fourth conduits are each in fluid communication with sump.
1 . A catch basin system comprising:
an upper housing defining (i) an upper region of a first conduit and (ii) an upper region of a second conduit, wherein the first and second conduits are aligned along a first axis; and
a lower housing removably secured to the upper housing and defining (i) a lower region of the of the first conduit, (ii) a lower region of the second conduit, (iii) a third conduit disposed below the first conduit, (iv) a fourth conduit disposed below the second conduit, and (v) a sump disposed between the third and fourth conduits and below the third and fourth conduits, wherein the (a) the third and fourth conduits are aligned along a second axis and (b) the first, second, third, and fourth conduits are each in fluid communication with the sump.
2 . The catch basin system of claim 1 , wherein (i) an upper end of the lower housing has one or more ledges protruding outward therefrom, (ii) the one or more ledges define recesses, and (iii) a lower end of the upper housing is at least partially disposed within the recesses to locate the upper housing relative to the lower housing.
3 . The catch basin system of claim 2 , wherein the one or more ledges protrude outward from the upper end of the lower housing transversely to the first and second axes.
4 . The catch basin system of claim 2 , wherein the upper housing and the lower housing are secured to each other via snapping features.
5 . The catch basin system of claim 4 , wherein at least one of the one or more ledges is disposed between two of the snapping features.
6 . The catch basin system of claim 1 , wherein the lower housing has ribs that extend away from the upper housing.
7 . The catch basin system of claim 1 further comprising protrusions extending downward from a bottom surface of the lower housing, wherein the protrusions define recessed regions.
8 . The catch basin system of claim 1 , wherein the upper housing defines an access port disposed between the first and second conduits.
9 . A catch basin comprising:
a housing defining,
an internal cavity configured to catch debris therein,
first and second conduit sections (i) extending laterally outward from the housing along an upper end of the housing, (ii) open along the upper end of the housing, and (iii) in fluid communication with the internal cavity and cavity, and
first and second conduits (i) extending laterally outward from the housing, (ii) disposed between the first and second conduit sections and a bottom end of the housing, and (iii) in fluid communication with the internal cavity; and
one or more ledges protruding outward from the upper end of the housing, wherein (i) the one or more ledges define recesses and (ii) the recesses are configured to receive a bottom edge of a second housing to locate the second housing relative to the housing.
10 . The catch basin of claim 9 , wherein the one or more ledges protrude outward from the upper end of the housing transversely to first and second conduit sections.
11 . The catch basin of claim 9 , wherein the first and second conduit sections comprise half-pipes.
12 . The catch basin of claim 9 , wherein the housing and the second housing are configured to engage each other via snapping features.
13 . The catch basin of claim 12 , wherein at least one of the one or more ledges is disposed between two of the snapping features.
14 . A catch basin comprising:
a housing (i) having upper and lower ends, (ii) defining an internal cavity configured to catch debris therein, (iii) having one or more ledges protruding outward from the upper end, wherein (a) the one or more ledges define recesses and (b) the recesses are configured to receive a bottom edge of a second housing to locate the second housing relative to the housing;
first and second pipes (i) disposed between the upper and lower ends of the housing, (ii) extending laterally outward from the housing, and (iii) in fluid communication with the internal cavity; and
first and second pipe sections (i) disposed above the first and second pipes, (ii) extending laterally outward from the housing along the upper end of the housing, (iii) open along the upper end of the housing, and (iv) in fluid communication with the internal cavity.
15 . The catch basin of claim 14 wherein the one or more ledges protrude outward from the upper end of the housing transversely to first and second pipe sections.
16 . The catch basin of claim 14 , wherein the housing and the second housing are configured to engage each other via snapping features.
17 . The catch basin of claim 16 , wherein at least one of the one or more ledges is disposed between two of the snapping features.
18 . The catch basin of claim 14 , wherein the first and second pipe sections comprise half-pipes.
19 . A catch basin comprising:
a housing defining,
an internal cavity configured to catch debris therein, and
first and second conduit sections (i) extending laterally outward from the housing along an upper end of the housing, (ii) open along the upper end of the housing, and (iii) in fluid communication with the internal cavity, wherein the first and second conduit sections comprise half-pipes; and
one or more ledges protruding outward from the upper end of the housing, wherein (i) the one or more ledges define recesses and (ii) the recesses are configured to receive a bottom edge of a second housing to locate the second housing relative to the housing.
20 . A catch basin comprising:
a housing defining,
an internal cavity configured to catch debris therein, and
first and second conduit sections (i) extending laterally outward from the housing along an upper end of the housing, (ii) open along the upper end of the housing, and (iii) in fluid communication with the internal cavity; and
one or more ledges protruding outward from the upper end of the housing, wherein (i) the one or more ledges define recesses and (ii) the recesses are configured to receive a bottom edge of a second housing to locate the second housing relative to the housing, and wherein the housing and the second housing are configured to engage each other via snapping features.
