  • Patent number: 6241882
    Abstract: A sump and filter device for use in drain inlets is disclosed. The device comprises a platform having one or more openings for receiving fluid flow. The platform is positioned and supported above the drain exits situated in the lower portion of the drain inlet. The platform is dimensioned for cooperative engagement with the interior perimeter or wall of the particular inlet involved. To inhibit fluid from entering the area of the inlet below the platform, a gasket or bladder may be positioned around the outer perimeter of the platform. An upwardly oriented fluid-receiving member having an upper end and a lower end and an opening therethrough is engaged with at least one of the openings of the platform. The opening in the fluid-receiving member is in fluid communication via its lower end with at least one of the openings in the platform.

  • Patent number: 5720574
    Abstract: A structure for use with water drainage inlets includes an outside wall portion, a perforated bottom portion, and an inside wall portion. The outside wall, bottom, and inside wall together define a trough for retention of a replaceable filter media. The trough is installed on the inside surface of a drainage structure so that drainage water that would normally flow directly through the drainage structure is caused instead to flow through the filter media, thereby removing undesirable materials that may be carried in the water, while permitting the water itself to pass through essentially unimpeded to the ultimate drainage location.
