Abstract: A drain cover comprises a grate having an upper surface, a lower surface and a peripheral edge defining a space having an axis substantially normal to the peripheral edge and at least one cross piece extending within the space at substantially right angles to the axis of the space. A front tab with a front tapering slot is formed on the lower surface. The front tapering slot receives the edge of a pipe. A rear tab with a rear tapering slot is formed on the lower surface. The rear tapering slot also receives the edge of a pipe. A securing screw is proved for securing the grate.

Abstract: A drain cover comprises a grate having an upper surface, a lower surface and a peripheral edge defining a space having an axis substantially normal to the peripheral edge and at least one cross piece extending within the space at substantially right angles to the axis of the space. A skirt depends downwardly from near the peripheral edge of the grate on the lower surface along at least a part of the peripheral edge. Securing means are provided for securing the grate.

Abstract: A rain deflector for use with a rain gauge comprises a base portion, at least one arm portion having an axis and extending upwardly from the base portion, and attachment means whereby the deflector can be secured to a rain gauge. The arm portion provides an obstruction to rain falling in a direction at an angle to the axis of the arm portion and deposits the rain obstructed into the rain gauge to thereby compensate for rain which would not otherwise be captured in the rain gauge as a result of the direction of the rainfall.
