Benefits of technology

[0016] The present disclosure further provides for a septic system that has a triangular baffling arrangement on a lateral side of an existing system for an improved interface with sand.
[0017]

Problems solved by technology

Such septic systems are deficient in their operation.
First of all, zoning ordinances for certain sized homes require larger septic systems.
Such larger septic systems may not fit on the desired building lot.
This can be problematic under certain circumstances because the desired septic system may not fit in a certain lot and the new home owner may be limited to only a second sized septic system that is less than desi

second embodiment

[0052] Referring to FIGS. 5 and 6, an appendage system 40 of the present invention, is shown. System 40 has two appendages 42 and 44 that are abutting each other. Each appendage 42 and 44 can have any number of triangular elements 46 to form a baffle 48. Each baffle 48 has numerous apertures 54 to allow for passage of effluent into leaching field. Triangular elements 46 can have rounded tips 50 to further increase the surface area of diffusion of liquid into the soil 52 in the leaching field. Baffle 48 preferably increases a surface area of the lateral side of the first appendage 42 and 44 to allow an increased amount of liquid effluent to escape from the appendages and channel 56, and traverse through the apertures and for diffusion to the sand, or ground.

third embodiment

[0053] In the present invention shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, septic system 80 has an entirely unitary structure. System 80 has a first baffle 85 and a second baffle 90. Each baffle has a plurality of trapezoidal appendages 95 and 100, respectively, integrally connected thereto to form a unitary trapezoidal configuration. A center channel 105 or conduit extends through the center of baffle 85 and facilitates the flow of effluent from source and through appendages 95 and 100. Channel 105 has a relatively small diameter relative to the dimensions of the appendages 95, to maintain a small footprint of the entire system without compromising dispersion capability. Channel 105 has a length of approximately from 6 feet to approximately 8 feet long. The height and width are approximately 1 foot to 4 feet depending upon the required capacity of the system. Appendages 95 and 100 are approximately 1 feet to 3 feet in length away from channel 105. The overall with of conduit 105 together with appenda...

fourth embodiment

[0054] In an fourth embodiment, a septic system 110 is shown in FIGS. 9 and 10. Septic system 110 also has a plurality of appendages 115 that each have a flattened tip to form a polygon such as a trapezoid, instead of an apex as shown in the previous embodiment. The plurality of trapezoidal shaped appendages 115 collectively form a baffle 120. Appendages 115 are on opposite sides of gallery 125 to effect the diffusion of effluent. Appendages 115 each have a pattern of holes 130 therethrough to expedite the passage of the effluent into the surrounding soil. In addition to a pattern of holes 130 extending through the appendages surfaces 135, surface 135 also have a plurality of protuberances 140 thereon. Protuberances 140 maintain a distance between the appendage faces 135 and any filter material placed over appendages faces 135. The protuberances 140 extend in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the appendage surfaces 135. The dimensions of protuberances 140 vary from 0.25 in...

Abstract

A modular or integral appendage for a septic gallery or conduit has a first section for connected to a lateral side of the gallery with the first section having a number of apertures thereon. The first section has a first area. The lateral side of the septic gallery has a second area. The first area is greater than the second area for increased drainage and thus adds capacity to the gallery or conduit. The second area having a plurality of protuberances thereon.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. application Ser. No. 11 / 523,486 filed on Sep. 19, 2006, which is also a continuation-in-part Ser. No. 11 / 235,405 filed on Sep. 26, 2005.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] 1. Field of the Invention [0003] The present invention relates to a septic system for handling household waste water. More particularly, the present invention relates to a septic system that can expand the amount of filtering material around or adjacent to a conventional new, existing septic gallery, or provide a new unitary gallery to expand a septic system capacity. [0004] 2. Description of the Related Art [0005] Septic systems are well known in the art. One such septic system is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,759,661 to Nichols, et al. (hereinafter “Nichols”). Nichols discloses a leaching system conduit made from a thermoplastic member having lateral sidewalls with a number of apertures. The thermoplastic member is an...
