  • Patent number: 11230836
    Abstract: A system for collecting debris created for small-scale outflow pipes, including a collection net made of durable lightweight mesh material, for capturing debris and allowing for free flow of fluid. The collection net configured to be attached to an outflow pipe using a fixed collar and a movable collar. The system designed such that the fixed collar fits securely on outflow pipe, and the movable collar fits such that it may move towards the fixed collar longitudinally along the outflow pipe. A pressure sensor attached to the fixed collar triggers an electrical signal to alert users when a threshold capacity of the collection net is exceeded, by the pressure imparted by movable collar onto the pressure senor. An electrical signal triggers control unit to alert users when a predefined threshold is exceeded, by indicating via an indicator that capacity limits of collected debris have been exceeded.
