Movable Deflector Spout In Lateral Port Patents (Class 137/873)
  • Patent number: 11471796
    Abstract: A downspout drain filter includes a housing and a filter media. The housing defines an internal cavity, an inlet to the internal cavity along a top of the housing, and an outlet from the internal cavity along a bottom of the housing. The filter media is disposed within the internal cavity. The filter media divides the internal cavity into an upper chamber and a lower chamber. The filter media is configured to trap debris in the upper chamber from fluid flowing downward through the internal cavity. The filter media is permeable such that the fluid flows from the upper chamber to the lower chamber.

  • Patent number: 5127439
    Abstract: A sliding plate is located across a pipe body to form a sliding plate valve having two positions: a through position and a flush position. In the through position, material flows through the pipe body. In the flush position, the flow of material is diverted so it goes out a side opening in the pipe body. An opening in the sliding plate permits material to pass through the plate only when the valve is in the through position, not when the valve is in the flush position. A side cut-out section of the body is attached to the sliding plate so that the section blocks the side opening when the valve is in the through position, but not when the valve is in the flush position.
