Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a water distributor device of the type for providing water on locations lacking a water supply network.
  • Water distributor devices for public use of the type having a column made of metallic material, stone, concrete or the like, and being provided of a tap ware connected thereto for the water dispensing are already known. These devices are usually located on public city grounds like squares, streets, stations, etc., near to a water distribution network. Such devices, though sturdy arid practical, have the drawback of not being removable once positioned, hence being unsuitable for the location thereof on public sites lacking a nearby water supply network. For instance, in case of public performances or social events, refugee camps, first-aid camps, etc., for which broad areas such as sports grounds or outdoors are used, given the lack of a supply network of the precious liquid in the immediate surroundings thereof, there subsists the actual impossibility of providing users with water distributor devices. Moreover, even in case of a pre-existing distribution network, the sole answer would be to carry out a ground breaking for fixedly locating a distributor device of the state of the art, then removing the device from the ground once the event or performance has ended.
  • water-supply trucks are provided, which besides holding and carrying water to the area of interest can distribute the water contained therein to the users by suitable tap wares mounted thereon.
  • an object of the present invention is to overcome the drawbacks of the state of the art by providing a water distributor device that may easily and removably be positioned in any ambient or site, regardless of the distance of the nearer water supply network from the distribution spot.
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide a water distributor device that may easily, quickly and removably be connected to a fixed or movable supply network in any ambient, for sustainedly supplying the users.
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide a water distributor device of easy implementation and very low maintenance, sturdy, and last but not least inexpensive.
  • the present invention provides a water distributor device comprising a main body and a base, characterised in that it further comprises:
  • the device has a main body 1 integrally connected to a base 2.
  • the main body 1 is shaped as a hollow column, made of ferrous material suitable for water piping which is also weldable.
  • the base has a substantially square-based parallelepiped shape, water collection means 3 (better illustrated hereinafter) being formed therein.
  • a plurality of annular members 4 apt to house respective fixing pins 5 (only three of which being shown in the figure) for the ground-securing the structure, is provided at the peripheral outer walls of the base 2 .
  • a valve 8 for the air venting during the activation of the device (better illustrated hereinafter) is located. Further, on the top of the main body 1, four water distribution taps 9 are located.
  • annular member 10 for hoisting, transporting and ground-positioning of the distributor device is formed.
  • the water collection means 3 formed in the base 2 is shown in plant and with two detailed cross sectional views. More precisely, the base 2 is substantially made of four walls 20, inside which a plurality of longitudinal members 21, having an "inverted-V" cross section shape and made integral onto two opposite walls 20, is arranged.
  • the arrangement of the members 21 inside the base 2 is such that it forms a corrugated filtering surface, suitable for allowing the water to flow but filtering foreign matter.
  • the "inverted-V" configuration allows the immediate downward conveying of the falling water, thereby avoiding annoying squirts towards the users.
  • a flat water-collecting surface 22 is located, apt to gravity-conveying the water to the drain element 7.
  • the base 2 is closed at the bottom thereof by a wall 23.
  • the wall 23 is integrally mounted onto the side walls 20 so as to form a downward-protruding peripheral edge 24 apt to constitute a second ground-securing means when the base is ground-located.
  • FIG. 3 shows the internal arrangement of the components of the distributor device of the present invention. More precisely, the base 2 is apt to be removably ground-secured with the fixing pins 5 when the latter are housed in the respective elements 4. The stability of the structure is further ensured by the fact that the edges 24 of the side walls 20 engage the ground, thus carrying out an interference locking.
  • the device can be connected to a fixed or removable external supply piping by coupling it to the pipe fitting member 6, and to a possible drain piping by coupling to the drain member 7.
  • the member 6 is internally connected to the main body 1, which is brimmed by the water once the same starts flowing.
  • the valve 8 is at first opened to allow the venting of the air in the main body 1, thus allowing the internal flooding of the main body 1, and then being closed for the functioning.
  • the taps 9 can supply water under effect of the hydrostatic pressure inside the main body 1.
  • the water thus supplied is collected by the underlying base 2 and, once filtered from possible foreign matter by means of the members 21, it is conveyed via the plate 22 to the drain pipe element 7.
  • the device of the present invention entails a first advantage in that it can easily be transported and positioned, even manually, by virtue of the intrinsic lightness of the component members and material thereof.
  • a second advantage of the device of the present invention lies in that the same may be connected to a fixed piping of a supply network as well as to a removable piping from a remote distribution source.
  • a third advantage of the water distributor of the present invention lies in that, by virtue of the peculiar ground-securing means thereof, the same may be positioned on any type of ground, be it hard or soft, and according to the contingent needs, without affecting the stability thereof.
