Drainage collection container

Claim 2

A drainage collection container for a vehicle adapted to be positioned on a garage floor comprising, a sheet of foldable resilient material generally rectangular in outline and having length and width dimensions which are greater than the length and width dimensions of a vehicle with which it is to be used, said sheet having flap extensions at the side edges thereof and connected thereto, curb members for each side being made of a resilient material and having a rectangular cross section, means sealing the flap extensions of each side around the curb members associated therewith to provide a raised curb surrounding the sheet of material and sealed against drainage, said curb members being deformable and returning to their normal cross section to permit passage of a vehicle over the curbs of a container while retaining the shape and sealing characteristics of the same, corner block means positioned at the junction of each of the curbs on the sides and including means for retAining the same therein, and including means in one of said raised curbs on one of said sides for selectively removing a portion of the raised curb to form a drain through said raised curb of the container.

Claim 3

The drainage collection container of claim 1 in which the corner block means includes blocks of the resilient material held in position against the curbs by strips fastened to the flap extensions and having snap means mounted thereon and co-operating to fit around the corner block means.

Claim 4

The drainage collection container of claim 1 in which the means sealing the flap extension around the curb members includes sealing strips with suitable adhesive thereon applied against the edges of the flap extensions and the sheet of foldable material.

Claim 5

The drainage collection container of claim 1 in which the sheet of foldable material has at least a surface exposed to the interior of the container and impervious to attack by oils, chemicals and fire.

Claim 6

The drainage collection container of claim 1 in which the sheet of foldable material and the flap extensions thereof are formed integral and of the same material.

Claim 7

The drainage collection container of claim 1 in which the sheet and flap extensions are formed of a plastic material and the curb members are formed of a foamed plastic material.

Claim 8

A drainage collection container for a vehicle adapted to be positioned on a garage floor comprising, a sheet of foldable resilient material generally rectangular in outline and having length and width dimensions which are greater than the length and width dimensions of a vehicle with which it is to be used, said sheet having flap extensions at the side edges thereof and connected thereto, curb members for each side being made of a resilient material and having a rectangular cross section, means sealing the flap extensions of each side around the curb members associated therewith to provide a raised curb surrounding the sheet of material and sealed against drainage, said curb members being deformable and returning to their normal cross section to permit passage of a vehicle over the curbs of a container while retaining the shape and sealing characteristics of the same, corner block means positioned at the junction of each of the curbs on the sides and including means for retaining the same therein, and including means in one of said raised curbs on one of said sides for selectively removing a portion of the raised curb to form a drain through said raised curb of the container, said means in one of said raised curbs being a flap extension on one of said sides which is split intermediate along its extent to separate it from the remaining portions of the flap extension and including additional flap means connected to the split portion of the flap extension and extending transversely to the extent thereof with portions overlying the same, one of said transverse flap extensions being intermediate the extent of the split portion and one being located at the extremity thereof with said overlying portions having fastener connections extending therethrough and adapted to co-operate with one another when said split portion is folded on itself to define a removable side wall portion of the curb for said one of said sides.

Claim 9

A drainage collection container for a vehicle adapted to be positioned on a garage floor comprising, a sheet of foldable resilient material generally rectangular in outline and having length and width dimensions which are greater than the length and width dimensions of a vehicle with which it is to be used, said sheet having flap extensions at the side edges thereof and connected thereto, curb members for each side being made of a resilient material and having a rectangular cross section, means sealing the flap extensions of each side around the curb members associated therewith to provide a raised curb surrounding the sheet of material and sealed against drainage, said curb members being deformable and returning to their normal cross section to permit passage of a vehicle over the curbs of a container while retaining the shape and sealing characteristics of the same, corner block means positioned at the junction of each of the curbs on the sides and including means for retaining the same therein, and including means in one of said raised curbs on one of said sides for selectively removing a portion of the raised curb to form a drain through said raised curb of the container, said means in one of said raised curbs being a flap extension on one of said sides which is split intermediate along its extent to separate it from the remaining portions of the flap extension and including additional flap means connected to the split portion of the flap extension and extending transversely to the extent thereof with portions overlying the same, one of said transverse flap extensions being intermediate the extent of the split portion and one being located at the extremity thereof with said overlying portions having fastener connections extending therethrough and adapted to co-operate with one another when said split portion is folded on itself to define a removable side wall portion of the curb for said one of said sides.
