Abstract

A water collection device for collecting water at least one of condensing, dripping, flowing, running, and a combination thereof from an exhaust portion of an air conditioner includes a housing having an open ended top portion for placement at least one of beneath an exhaust portion of such air conditioner, closely adjacent an exhaust portion of such air conditioner, and a combination thereof. Water enters such housing through such top portion for collection. An aperture is disposed through at least one of a side wall, a bottom wall and a combination thereof of such housing. An attachment mechanism is operably connected to such aperture. A hose is releasably attachable at a first end thereof to such housing via such attachment mechanism and receives collected water flowing through such aperture into such hose. Such water exits a second end of such hose for dispersal to a predetermined area.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This patent application is related to and claims priority from U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 61 / 145,167 filed Jan. 16, 2009.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates, in general, to water collection devices and, more particularly, this invention relates to a device for use in collecting water which condenses on air conditioning units and from the exhaust portions of such air conditioning units.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Prior to the conception and development of the present invention, air conditioners, as are generally well known in the prior art, have been used to keep houses and other buildings cool in uncomfortably warm climates. While it is useful to control the temperature of the interior of such structures, when in use, air conditioners produce condensation and water run off which drips and runs from such air conditioners onto the ground at the base of such structures where it may cause moisture b...
