Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
89 words
An elongated drainer for sub-soil use for draining seepage liquids, comprising an elongated body having at least three radially projecting continuous ribs, each rib being provided with a crosspiece which extends continuously throughout the length of the rib inwardly of the outer end of the rib, each crosspiece having a portion extending substantially perpendicularly from each face of the rib, and there being a clearance between adjacent crosspieces which leads to a channel provided between adjacent ribs providing a flow path for the liquid lengthwise of the elongated body.
