Patent

CA 2635247

The invention provides a collapsible waler container, made of waterproof fabric which is typically used to collect rainwater from roof downspouts. The invention also can serve as a water collection/storage device for developing nations. The container is fitted with an attached outlet, suitable for connecting to a garden -- type hose and an overflow. The container is supported, via its attached top by several removable uprights mounted to a circular, or alternately, a square or rectangular, base ring and running through a mid-height support ring. The uprights consist of two or more connectable segments. The base and mid-height support are designed to support the uprights and allow the container to pass through them and have its bottom rest on the ground. The container top has large openings to allow water to enter the container. These openings contain screen material to allow water to pass through but block insects and debris. When disassembled, the item can be easily collapsed and stored.

L'invention concerne une citerne d'eau pliable, faite de tissu imperméable qui est généralement utilisée pour recueillir l'eau pluviale des toitures. L'invention peut également servir de citerne de collecte/stockage de l'eau pour les pays en développement. Le conteneur est équipé d'un orifice de sortie, convenant au raccordement à un tuyau de jardin, et d'un trop plein. Le haut du conteneur est soutenu par plusieurs montants amovibles montés sur une base circulaire, ou encore carrée ou rectangulaire, et passant par un cercle d'appui à mi-hauteur. Les montants se composent de deux ou plusieurs segments reliés. Les supports de base et de mi-hauteur sont conçus pour soutenir les montants et permettre au conteneur de les traverser, de sorte que son bas repose sur le sol. Le haut du conteneur comporte de grandes ouvertures pour laisser l'eau y pénétrer. Ces ouvertures sont dotées de filtres pour permettre à l'eau de passer, tout en bloquant les insectes et les débris. Une fois démontée, la citerne peut être facilement repliée et entreposée.
