Abstract

The syphoning system is designed to be easily operated by one person. The support clip 11 is rotated until the hole in the support clip is aligned with the notch cut in the hose. The syphoning process is initiated as follows. With the support clip 11 held under water, a finger is placed over the support clip's hole and a tap to which one end of the hose is connected is turned on. After a short time, the tap is turned off and the finger is used to sense whether or not water is being sucked into the support clip's hole. If not, the process is repeated until suction indicates that syphoning is taking place. The locating clip 10 and the sucker ensure that the support clip 11 is held under water. <IMAGE>

Description

PHONING SYSTEM This invention relates to a syphoning system.
Syphoning is a well known technique used for emptying liquids out of containers. It may be usefully employed for recycling bath water for use in the garden.
Recycling water in this way results in economies in the consumption of water, and it is therefore an effective way of reducing metered water bills. Moreover, it enables gardeners to water their plants even when drought conditions prevail and hose pipes are banned.
Using a garden hose as a syphon requires that the hose is charged with water; this charging can be done from either end of the hose. The difficulties are in assessing when the pipe is fully charged (since the other end of the hose may be remote from the user) and ensuring that the syphoning end of the hose remains submerged.
The syphoning system consists of a piece of hose. One end of the hose is attached to a tap and the other end forms the outlet. The hose is held by a locating clip fixed to a sucker. In addition, a notch is cut in the hose and this part of the hose is held by a support clip.
A specific embodiment of the invention will now be described by way of an example with reference to the accompanying drawing in which Figure 1 illustrates the syphoning system.
Figure 2 illustrates the locating clip.
Figure 3 illustrates the support clip.
The syphoning system illustrated in the drawing is designed to be easily operated by one person. The support clip 11 is rotated until the hole in the support clip 11 is aligned with the notch cut in the hose. The syphoning process is initiated as follows.
With the support clip 11 held under water, a finger is placed over the support clip's hole and the tap is turned on. After a short time, the tap is turned off and the finger is used to sense whether or not water is being sucked into the support clip's hole. If not, the process is repeated until suction indicates that syphoning is taking place. The locating clip 10 and the sucker ensure that the support clip 11 is held under water.

Claims (4)

1. A syphoning system consisting of a piece of hose.
One end of the hose is attached to a tap and the other forms the outlet. The hose is held by a locating clip fixed to a sucker. In addition, a notch is cut in the hose and this part of the hose is held by a support clip.
2. A syphoning system as claimed in Claim 1 wherein a locating clip is provided to hold the hose.
3. A syphoning system as claimed in Claim 1 wherein the support clip is provided to support the notched part of the hose.
4. A syphoning system substantially described herein with reference to figures 1-3 of the accompanying drawing.
