Definitions

  • the invention relates to a container made of plastic for collecting rainwater, with a bottom, which is supported on the ground, a cavity for collecting rainwater, and with a top.
  • Such a container may be provided as a rainwater collecting device and is often used in the garden area. It is known to use rain barrels for collecting rainwater. For larger volumes of water, underground cisterns are used. This generally requires extensive earthworks. The installation of a large-volume container in the garden area is often regarded as not advantageous because it does not have a pleasing appearance and is a hindrance due to its large volume.
  • the container is substantially closed at the top and thus fulfills the function similar to an underground cistern.
  • This top also has the shape of a trough, which is designed as a support surface.
  • This trough can for example form the bottom of a garden pond, so that the entire container can serve as a shapely decorative element in the garden area.
  • the container then has a double function; On the one hand, it serves as a flat above-ground rainwater reservoir and on the other hand as a garden pond, which fits well into the garden area.
  • Another variant provides that in the trough a flowerbed or a small rock garden is arranged. Also in this variant, the practical benefits of collecting rainwater combined with an attractive garden decoration element.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a container made of plastic seen from above,
  • Fig. 2 is a schematic cross section through the container
  • Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the container from below.
  • a plastic container 10 is shown in plan view embodying the invention.
  • the plastic container is made in one piece by plastic blowing and consists of polyethylene. It is suitable to collect rainwater in the volume of 2000 to 4000 liters, preferably of 3000 liters. Typical dimensions are 3 m length, 2.5 m width and 0.6 m height for 3000 liter capacity.
  • the container 10 has on its outer side 12 a structure in a stone design, so that it fits in the garden area complacent.
  • Fig. 2 shows schematically a cross section through the container 10.
  • This container 10 is located with its substantially flat bottom 14 on the ground. Its upper side is formed for the most part as a trough 16.
  • This trough 16 can, with reference to the upper edge, reach a trough depth of almost 50% of the total height of the container 10. Typically, the depth of the trough is about 30 to 45%, preferably 40%, of the height of the container.
  • a recess 18 is recessed in the bottom 14, the almost cylindrical side wall 20 projects up to the trough 16 in the central region and the trough 16 is supported there. This is necessary because the trough 16 as a wing, for example, the water of a garden pond of several hundred Liters or, in other embodiments, the soil of a flowerbed or the weight of a rock garden.
  • the rainwater is collected. It passes via a filling opening at the top (not shown) into the cavity 22, for example via a connection to a rain gutter. Furthermore, a removal opening (not shown) for the collected rainwater is provided, via which, as is known per se to the person skilled in the art, water can be withdrawn. Between the recess 16 formed as a top wall of the container and the cavity 22, a closable opening 24 is arranged. In the case of the arrangement of a garden pond in the trough 16, a water compensation can take place via this opening 24. For example, water may be directed from the cavity 22 into the space of the well 16 or water may be passed from the well 16 into the cavity 22.
  • the trough 16 serves as a supporting surface for a garden pond, then the water content of the pond can be used as usable water volume with.
  • an overflow opening 26 is arranged, via which the volume of the trough 16 can be filled by water from the cavity 22.
  • Fig. 3 shows a perspective view of the container 10 from below.
  • the side wall serves as a support body for the formed as a load-bearing upper wall of the container.
