  • Publication number: 20240026673
    Abstract: A storm water capture and filtration system may secure in a catch basin or other area subject to flows of water from streets, channels, and the like as a result of run off from storms. A filter system may include a capture portion including attachment mechanisms, a funnel, various supports, and a filter hanger designed and calculated to capture all water entering a storm water inlet and directing it toward a bag filter. A gap is provided between a funnel and filter hanger in order to provide accommodation for overflow, while an anti-backflow skirt on the filter bag resists flushing of captured pollution out of the bag in overflow condition.

  • Patent number: 10634476
    Abstract: A measuring tool comprising two tape measures. Each tape measure may be housed in a casing, and each casing may have an interface surface detachably coupled to the interface surface of the other casing. The measuring tool further comprises a level and a vertical laser. The vertical laser projects perpendicularly downward from the horizontal plane of the level. In a method to square a corner for a structure using the measuring tool, the user selects a first side to be perpendicular to a second side, calculates the diagonal therebetween using the desired lengths of the first side and the second side, attaches the measuring tapes to end points of the first side, tautly draws the measuring tapes to the lengths for the diagonal and the second side, and then marks the location using the level and vertical laser.
