Patent number: 11186980Abstract: A method of removing sediment from fluid flow within a storm water drain pit by deflecting flow entering the pit towards the side walls of the pit by one or more deflectors. This reduces the energy of the fluid flow and promotes settling of sediment within the catch pit. Each deflector is preferably of a concave form and may be located in a storm water drain pit bag or suspended. A removable catch basin receptacle for a storm water drain pit includes a container has a low flow outlet defining a fluid path for fluid at a first level within the container to a second level, higher than the first level, outside the container. An overflow path provides a fluid flow path out of the container at a level higher than the first or second level.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2018Date of Patent: November 30, 2021Assignee: Stormwater360 Group LimitedInventors: Gregory Paul Yeoman, Michael Morton Hannah

Publication number: 20140312060Abstract: A system for inventory control, verification and accounting for liquids dispensed in smaller doses or portions from larger containers. The system has multiple spouts, each of which controls flow of a liquid from a container in predetermined dosage size. Each dosing spout permits flow of liquid through a liquid outlet tube when the angle of the container is changed such as by tilting for pouring. After a predetermined time, the air inlet tube is closed, which terminates flow of the liquid through the liquid outlet tube. Controls and signaling devices operate the dosing spout, and wireless communications devices and processors record uses of the system of dosing spouts.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 1, 2014Publication date: October 23, 2014Inventors: Richard B.
