Definitions
- the invention relates to installing powered equipment in front of a sewer pipe opening in a sewer shaft, the method comprising the steps of.
- Such equipment can be used for many purposes such as monitoring and/or continuously recording the water level, flow rate, flow, water quality/pollution, PH value or temperature in the sewer pipes, or for exterminating rats.
- the trap may be equipped with one or more means for these tasks.
- a rat trap for exterminating rats in e.g. sewer pipes and where powered equipment is arranged in the sewer pipe comprising means for sensing a rat, and means for killing the rat in the sewer pipe.
- a problem with this kind of equipment is that the space required for the complete installation due to especially the power source such as a battery, a spring or compressed air requires that the equipment may only be installed in pipes having a relatively large cross section, or that at least a part the powered equipment must necessarily be installed outside the pipe and openings must be provided in the pipe in order for the powered equipment such as the means for killing rats to enter the pipe from the outside of the pipe.
- this is obtained by a method of installing powered equipment comprising the steps of; Selecting a resilient cylindrical member comprising a console adapted for mounting the powered equipment to the resilient cylindrical member, and the resilient cylindrical member having, in its unstressed state, an outer radius which slightly exceeds the inner radius of the sewer pipe opening;
- the invention also provides a console for installing powered equipment in front of a sewer pipe opening in a sewer shaft
- Figure 1 schematically shows the construction of an embodiment of the console with a powered equipment in the form of a rat trap mounted thereon;
- Figure 2 shows the rat trap according to fig. 1 , mounted in a sewer shaft
- Figure 3 shows a console according to the invention for mounting in a sewer pipe including a mounting tool.
- Figure 4 shows a second embodiment of console according to the invention for mounting in a sewer pipe including a mounting tool.
- the rat trap 1 comprises a power source such as a battery, and an automatic mechanism (not shown) which is capable of both firing the spikes 3 and pulling them back in order to thereby release a spiked rat.
- This rat trap is only to be seen as an example of a powered equipment to be mounted in a sewer shaft in front of a sewer pipe opening. Installing powered equipment in sewer pipes has until now been difficult because of the space required for installing the powered equipment in the sewer pipe.
- the sewer shaft provides a lot of space for installing equipment, but installation of e.g. a rat trap in the sewer shaft has the disadvantage that the rats may be able to pass the rat trap without activating it.
- FIG 2 shows a trap 1 which is arranged at the bottom of a sewer shaft 50.
- the trap 1 is mounted on a console 40 which in the shown embodiment is a flexible semi-cylindrical tubular member 40 that resiliency engages a sewer pipe 41 but the mounting member could also be in form of e.g, semi-cylindrical tubular member being provided with expanding means such that it is capable of engaging the inner side of a pipe.
- the resilient member 40 may be made out of steel but other materials may be used such as e.g. plastic.
- the resilient tubular member 40 In its unstressed state, the resilient tubular member 40 has an outer radius which slightly exceeds the inner radius of the sewer pipe 41. Thereby the trap is easily fastened therein merely by a trap mounting tool compressing the tubular member 40 to such suitable extent that the tubular member 40 can be inserted into the sewer pipe 41. Then the mounting tool inserts the tubular member 40 into the sewer pipe 41 and lets go of it, following which the tubular member 40 resiliently engages the inside of the sewer pipe 41.
- the member 40 is described as being made out of resilient material other solutions known to the skilled person may be used, such as e.g. mechanically expanding sleeves.
- the trap is shown with the spikes out, but of course this is usually not the case unless the trap is to be serviced or the like.
- FIG. 3 and 4 shows a console according to the invention comprising a tool for mounting a trap in a sewer shaft and the functionality of it will be explained in further detail in the following.
- the tool consists of two parts: a handle part 60 and a jaw 70 having two fingers extending on each side of the console 40.
- the figure also shows a resilient tubular member 40.
- the trap or other powered equipment will usually be mounted on the console 40, but for the sake of clarity this is not the case in the depiction shown in Figure 3.
- the handle part is provided with a mounting pin 61 , being in the shown embodiment divided into three pieces 62, 63, 64, where only the middlemost part 63 is provided with thread.
- the mounting pin is adapted to the jaw 70 in such a manner that the thread mates with corresponding thread in the stop plate, and the thread-less part of the mounting pin 64 which is situated after the thread 63 is adapted to the thickness of the stop plate to the effect that the mounting pin 62, 63, 64 can be turned so far into the stop plate 70 that the thread 63 on the mounting pin 61 does not engage with the thread of the stop plate.
- the resilient tubular member 40 is provided with a thread mating with the thread on the mounting pin 60. That thread can be constituted (as shown in the Figure) of a nut 65, but of course the thread can be made in a variety of other ways.
- the tool When the tool is to be used, one starts out by mounting the jaw 70 on the mounting shaft 51. Then one may turn the thread 63 of the mounting pin into the nut on the tubular element 40 and thereby the tubular member 40 is pulled into the convex portion of the jaw 70. During this process the tubular member 40 is deformed (compressed). The mounting tool continues this deformation until the tubular member 40 can be pressed into the sewer pipe where the trap is to be mounted (not shown), following which the mounting tool deploys the trap simply by turning the mounting pin out of engagement with the tubular member 40.
- the embodiment as shown in Figure 5 is associated with the advantage that several sizes of jaws (different diameters/curvatures) can be mounted on the same mounting pin 61.
- the mounting tool needs only one handle part which can then be used for several different (different diameters/curvatures) jaws which he selects in response to the size of tubular element 49 (fitted with trap) to be mounted in a sewer.
- the console is shown from its outside on one side, and as can be seen the tubular part of the console is provided with a friction increasing material 80.
- the friction increasing material is preferably made from rubber in order to provide good friction between the tubular part of the console and the inside of the sewer pipe, but any friction increasing material can be selected for specific purposes.
- a number of holes 81 are extending through the console from its outside to its inside is arranged for mount of the powered equipment such as the rat trap according to fig. 1 and 2, and for allowing e.g. the spikes 3 to enter into the inside of the console from its outside.
- the trap may advantageously also be equipped with means for other monitoring tasks.
- the trap may be equipped with one or more means for tasks such as monitoring and continuously recording the water level, flow rate, flow, water quality/pollution, PH value or temperature.
