- 1. A Brief Description of the Invention
- The instant invention consists initially of an electrically driven modified sump pump unit placed within an enclave cut out below the topside planar area of concrete home basement flooring. The sump pump is modified initially by way of cutting therefrom the outwardly jutting side portions thereof and capping the holes left behind after having done so. The pump is further modified by way of tapping a plurality of small holes into the front, back and lateral sides of the pump. It is further modified by cutting a larger hole big enough to accommodate receipt of piping into the topside of the pump. Piping connected to the modified pump through this topside hole is further connected to a vacuum pump located well above the topside of such flooring. Yet more piping connected to the vacuum pump leads upwardly therefrom to an opening in the home to the exterior thereof. The pump is connected at one of its sides with first affixation means in turn connected to one of a plurality of conjoined semi-cylindrically shaped porous channeling components located in the sub flooring of the basement floor and circumscribed by crushed stone pieces. These channeling components are an integral feature of the invention, since, by virtue of the manner in which they are shaped, they are extremely sturdy and much more readily able to withstand weight bearing upon the flooring just above them than are other variants of the same. Perimeter water and radon gas are collected up from below the open bottoms of the channeling components and via porous apertures in sides thereof and then into the channeling units also connected at ends thereof by second affixation means after first passing through the crushed stone pieces. Such water and gas is then channeled via the channeling components into the enclave containing the modified sump pump unit. The water and gas then enter the modified sump pump unit via the tapped holes therein wherefrom the water is conventionally pumped away via piping leading therefrom to and then from the vacuum pump out of the home and the radon is, in turn, also pumped away and out of the home. Optional cove plate units, one of which is connected by third affixation means to a channeling component, are positioned against sub basement floor walling and connected to one another by fourth affixation means to also collect water from above allowing it to also seep into the channeling components.
- 2. Objects of the Invention
- The instant invention serves the objective of bringing about a ready, safe and highly efficacious dispersal of both basement sub floor waters and potentially deadly radon gas such as would have thereat collected within the basement area of a person's home. The semi-cylindrically shaped porous channeling components of the invention are characterized by the presence of numerous relatively large porous apertures within each to allow for the ready collection per unit time of relatively larger amounts of water and radon gas from both about and below such components moreso than would be the cases with other variants of such units. Moreover, the semi-cylindrical shape of the channeling components enables them to easily accommodate an objective of easily undergoing a goodly amount of weight bearing from above notwithstanding the relatively large size of the apertures therein.

FIG. 1 . There is therein shown an electrically driven modifiedsump pump unit 2 resting within an enclave F located below basement flooring C as more particularly depicted inFIG. 3 . Circumscribing the perimeter of a basement below such flooring C and resting on basement wall footings B are a plurality of porous semi-cylindrically shapedchanneling components 1 that as can be seen with resort toFIGS. 1, 2 , 7 a and 7 b are connected near each end of each to near an end of another by way of second affixation means 4. First affixation means 3 serve to connect one of thechanneling components 1 to electrically driven modifiedsump pump unit 2 as shown inFIGS. 1 and 5 . Water and radon gas invariably are found leaching into the basement portions of many buildings and homes. The instant system is meant to collect such water and radon gas and expel the same to the exteriors of such buildings and homes. The water and radon gas leach in from earth E and into, about and within crushed stone D located about enclave F and below flooring C. Such water and radon gas is passed into channelingcomponent 1 from, about and within crushed stone D shown inFIG. 6 . The water and gas are then drawn via thechanneling components 1 into enclave F. A plurality of optionalcove plate units 12; one of which is shown in each of isolated plan views, inFIGS. 8 a and 8 b; are affixed to the lowermost portion of basement walling A, as more particularly visualized inFIGS. 3 and 4 .Cove plate units 12 serve to more efficaciously collect water breaking through and then trickling down upon the inner side of walling A to be collected within the upper lip tray portions ofsuch units 12 which upper lip tray portion is shown as being the uppermost part of aunit 12 as seen inFIG. 8 a. Such water so collected then wends it way down behind theunits 12 and then through invariably extant minimal spacing as between the base of walling A and the edge facing of flooring C to then meet up with crushed stone D and flow inevitably, to the extent not then evaporated, to and then into channelingcomponents 1. Third affixation means 13 serve to connectcove plate units 12 near each end of each to near an end of another as can be seen with resort to a viewing once again ofFIG. 1 . Fourth affixation means 14 for connecting acove plate unit 12 to achanneling component 1 are shows inFIGS. 5 and 6 . Water and radon gas entering enclave F ultimately enter modifiedsump pump unit 2 by way of throughholes 5 tapped into the sides of modifiedsump pump unit 2. The outwardly jutting side portions of a sump pump are cut off with the holes left behind then being capped so as to then relatively minimize the size of an enclave F. Once water and radon gas will have been collected within modifiedsump pump unit 2, these substances are expelled to the exterior of a building or home structure. The water is expelled as water is conventionally expelled by way of any sump pump unit. The radon gas is expelled by way of its being sucked upwardly from within modifiedsump pump unit 2. A topside throughhole 6 is to be found as seen inFIG. 1 in the topside of a modifiedsump pump unit 2. Firstelongated piping component 7 is affixed at a lowermost end thereof into topside throughhole 6. The uppermost end of firstelongated piping component 7 fits into a first throughhole 9 in the bottomside of electrically driven vacuum pump unit 8 as can been seen inFIG. 4 . The lowermost end of secondelongated piping component 10 fits into a second through hole 11 in the topside of vacuum pump unit 8 as shown inFIG. 4 . The uppermost end ofpiping component 10 is to be found outside the structure containing the system as can be perceived with resort toFIG. 4 . The radon gas via suction emanating from within vacuum 8 is drawn intopiping component 7, then pump 8 and ultimately out of such a structure viapiping component 10. To the extent thatcove plate units 12 are optional for use as elements of the invention, so too would be third affixation means 13 and fourth affixation means 14. Second affixation means 4 would also be optional to the extent that the channeling components would be positioned to near end at right angles to one another and in contact with one another resting as they would be atop footings B. In respect of the foregoing recitations, the system as hereof described and shown serves to collect a goodly amount more water and radon gas per unit time than do arguably similar systems by virtue of the unique design and configuration of channelingcomponents 1 shown in isolated plan views inFIGS. 7 a and 7 b. Channelingcomponents 1 are open at the bottom in addition to being porous. The combination of porousness at the sides thereof and open bottoms thereof greatly facilitate the rate of collection of water and radon gas found below flooring C. Moreover, the semicylindrical shape of channelingcomponents 1 serves to greatly facilitate the weight bearing capacity ofsuch components 1 located below the level of flooring C where not atypically, heavy items are often found stored upon flooring C and up against walling A. - In view of the foregoing recitations, respectfully submitted, the instant invention is not merely new, useful and unique but is indeed veritably revolutionary in respect of the art of collecting and dispersing water and radon gas initially found below basement flooring C in structures such as commercial buildings and homes.
