' SEWER CONSTRUCTION.

Original application filed J'u1y"31,.1925, Serial No. 47,281. Divided and this application filed April 9, 1926, Serial No. 100,988.

The present invention relates to sewer construction and constitutes a division of my similarly entitled co-pending application, Serial No. 17,281, filed July 31, 1925.

An object of the invention described and claimed in the present application is to provide a sewer construction peculiarly located with respect to the curb and sidewalk and.

with an improved perforated cover construction mounted flush in the roadway, partially indented beneath the curb and located directly over the receiving basin, whereby to induce free flow of water to the receiving basin while excluding foreign matter therefrom by use of the perforated cover. I

lVith the foregoing and other objects in View, theinvention will bemore fully described hereinafter, and will be more particularly pointed out in the claims appended hereto.

In the drawings, wherein like symbols refer to like or corresponding parts throughout the several views,

Figure 1 is a plan .view of a sewer construction embodying parts of my invention, with parts broken away;

Figure 2 is a vertical section of a sewer construction embodying part of my inven-' tion, taken 011 the line 22 of Figure 1.

In Figures 1 and 2, 50-designates a frame, the horizontal partof whichis shown as fitted upon the upper end of the wall. 51 of, a receiving basin 52. The vertical part of this cover 50 is shown as fitted within an opening in the curb 53. The horizontal part of the frame 50 is shown as provided with a shoul der 49 upon whichthe horizontal part 4.8 of

the receiving basin cover 48, 48 may be seated. The vertical part 48 of the cover 48, 48 will extend up within an opening in thecurb. The horizontal part l8 of the cover 48, 48 will be provided with trunn'ions adapted to enter suitable slots in the horizontal part of the frame 50. The curb is shownas provided with a cut out portion 54. "By raising the horizontal part 48 of the cover, the horizontal and vertical parts of which are integral,

the cover as a whole may be rocked on'the trunnions and the opening 1n to the IBCQIVlD basin uncovered. hen the horizontal part of the cover has been rocked sufficiently far it will rest against the curb.- The raising up of the horizontal part 48 will cause the vertical part 48 to move in the cut out portion 54,

and this cutout portion 54 will be so shaped as not to interfere with the movement of the vertical part 48 therein. lVhile I have shown thecover 48, 48 as circular in shape it will, of course, be readily understood, that the cover may be of any desired shape, in which case the frame 50may be made to conform to the shape of the cover.

lVithin the basin 52 is shown a ladder 55 appropriately supported to enable operators preferably guarded by traps as shown 0011- sisting of the perforated plates 83 over the mouths of the'pipes covered by doors 86 having lower perforated portions 90. These traps form the subject matter of a separate application-and are,therefore, not further described herein.

It is obvious that various changes and modifications may be made in the details of construction and design of the above specifically described embodiment of this invenl/Vhat is claimed overlying partially the open upper end of the basin, said curb having an under-cut p012 U011 above the basin, a frame about'the open-- ing ofthe basin, and an open-work cover removably and pivotally mounted in said frame and comprising a substantially hor1- zontal portion lying across the exposed portion of the opening of the basin and a shorter vertical portion extending flush with the curb line, said short vertical portioiradapted to swing in said under-cut portion ofthe curb, the pivot point of the cover lying in the same plane with the horizontal portion of said cover. r I

2. A sewer and pavement construction ti on without departing from the spirit thereof.

, r .85 1. A sewer COHStI'LlCtlODy comprising a catch basin having an open upper end, a curb comprising a catch basin extending partially below the roadway andsidewalk, a curb be tween the sidewalk and roadway having an undercut portion, a frame above the catch 5 V basin, a cover for the catch basin comprising horizontal and vertical lntegral portions,

pivot pins extending fromthe horizontal portion for pivotallyholding both ortions pivotally in the frame whereb W en the horizontaljportion is lifted at lts free end 10 l 7 from the frame the Vertical portion will retire into the'cut-out portion'of the curb.

In testimony whereof Iaflix my signature.

l V GEORGE F. EGAN.
