Water recovery container

Abstract

A water recovery container device comprising a ceramic container, wherein there is a plastic vat inside of the ceramic container, wherein the plastic vat is divided into two compartments, water used in a washbasin falls due to its own weight into a bigger compartment of the two compartments, wherein in the bigger compartment there is an overflow tube keeping a water level in the bigger compartment, wherein there is space between the bottom of the plastic vat and the ceramic container in order to drain the compartments and the tube, wherein a drain hole of the ceramic container leads water toward the toilet, wherein there are drain holes in the compartments, wherein a ballcock closes regulates water coming into the smaller compartment, wherein a filter filters water coming from the washbasin, wherein a cover is divided in two equal parts in order to allow cleaning of the filter, wherein there is a plug switch and oval holes having a screw installed therein to hold the container at a toilet.

Description

[0001] The present invention talks about of a container, the water used in washbasin, it is recovered to be used in the toilet.Invention's background

[0002] It is well known, that the current container installed on toilets, they use clean water received of the pipeline. Others patented models need an electric or manual mechanisms to recover the water used in the washbasin and others elements of bathroom.Invention's description

[0003] Water recovery container recovers the water used in the washbasin, the water falls in a container by her own weigh without any mechanism. It is composed by a ceramic container, at the bottom, there is a drain hole in the middle, and one small oval hole in each side of the middle to hold the container at the toilet. 4 cm of each lateral edge of the walls, the bottom climb up 3 cm., in order to support a plastic vat. The plastic vat is divided in two compartments or glasses, in the top part of the walls in each lateral side, there is a hole at the same level in the container and the vat, by the water comes in. This Vat is placed in the container, making the holes match with the same of the container, one hole is connected at the pipeline of the clean water thought a tube, in it there is installed a ballcock in order to cut the filling of the glass. The other hole is connected with a tube at the washbasin drainpipe, inside the vat in that connection, there is a filter in order to keep free the drain hole.

[0004] Between the bottom of the vat and the container there is 3 cm. space free, in order to each glass of the vat drains in the container. One of the glasses is bigger to keep more used water received from the washbasin, in the bottom is a hole to drain in the container. There is a tube close to the wall that divide the vat in two glasses too, the tube drains in the container; the reason is to keep the level of the water and not overflow the glass. In each glass, there is a hole that drains in the container, in each hole there is a plug, it is taken off by a switch, the switch is installed in the cover of the ceramic container.

[0005] The vat could be installed inside the container in the way that the bigger glass is closed at the washbasin.

[0006] In order to get more water from the washbasin, the container could be bigger that the one on the description, if there is space enough in the bathroom, always the increase has to be in the front, because the height has to be the same to make the water falls in the container by her own weight.

[0007] In the drain's hole of the washbasin you could install a filter in order to keep free the tube that connects to the container.Drawing's Description

[0008] In order to understand the description in this document, it is attached pictures, like a example, it represents the way to make a water recovery container. In this picture, the Figure (1) it is a front view of the container, the number 1 shows the drain hole the water falls in the toilet, the number 2 shows the smalls holes, in them you have to install a screw that hold the container at the toilet. the Figure (2) is a front view of the vat divided in two compartments or glasses. The number 1 is the small glass, the number 2 is the big glass, the number 3 is the spout's drain, on it, there is a tube installed to make the water not overflows the glass and it drains in the container; the number 4, two holes which drain in the container. The Figure (3) is a front view of the container and the vat inside of the container, the number 1 is the ballcock in order to cut the filling of the small glass, the number 2 is the filter connected to the tube at the washbasin drainpipe, the number 3 is the level's tube installed on the spout. the Figure (4) is a front view of the container, the vat inside it and the cover of the container, the number 1 is the cover, the number 2 the switch that take off the plug of each glass and drain in the container, after the water fall out in the toilet. the Figure (5) is a lateral container view. The number 1 is the support by the plastic vat. The number 2, they are the holes that the water comes in the container and vat, the number 3, oval hole, in it, is installed a screw to hold the container at the toilet. Favorite manufacturing description

[0009] The walls, of the recovery container, have a thickness of 1 cm., the Figure 1 shows the front (long), it is 42 cm., the high is 26 cm., the wide is 20 cm., at 22 cm. of heigh in each lateral. There is a small hole to the water comes in, in the center of the bottom, there is a hole and the water drains in the toilet, to each side of this hole there is a oval hole with 3 cm long, the object to be installed on all the toilet models with a screw, filled with putty and gum band, in order the water not go out, the bottom of the container in each lateral of the front at 4 cm. it climbs up 3 cm., on this support rest a plastic vat. In the Figure 4, it is a front view of the container in the top is the cover 1 cm. of thick and 4 cm. high, it has two small holes in them, where are installed the switch by take out the plug and the water go out to the container. The cover is divided in two equals parts, the meaning is to clean easier the filter installed inside the vat, where the water come from the washbasin.

[0010] The Figure 2: it is the plastic vat with 0.5 cm thick, the front or (long) 40 cm., the high include the bottom thick is 21 cm and the wide 18 cm. The lateral holes which match with the same holes in the container, they are ubicated 17 cm from the bottom of the vat. A plastic wall of 0,5 cm. thick, divides the vat in two compartments or glasses. The small glass has 16 cm. in the front and inside it, there is a drain hole to 6,5 cm from the plastic wall. The big glass has 23,5 cm in the front, 14 cm from the plastic wall there is a drain hole. The holes have a plug, these holes keep the perpendicular line with the switch installed in the cover of the container. This position allows you to install the container on the toilet with the big glass closed to the washbasin. In the big glass closed to the plastic wall, there is a spout 3cm high with 2 cm. of diameter. In it, we install a hollow tube with 15 cm. high and it is drained in the container, this way, it prevents the overflow of the glass.

[0011] In Figure 3, the container supports the vat inside and allows to see the 3 cm. of free space, in order, the water drains from each glass to the container and after that, the water goes to the toilet. In this figure, you can see the ballcock installed to cut the filling of the small glass. In the big glass, the water comes from the washbasin, there is a filter in to keep free the drain hole.

[0012] The Figure 4 shows the vat inside the container and the cover, with all the elements. The Figure 5 is a lateral view of the container. (1) In the container, there are two supports for the plastic vat, (2) in each lateral the hole where comes in: the clean water from the pipeline and in the other hole comes in the water from the washbasin, (3) oval holes in them installed a screw to hold the container at the toilet.
