Self Filling Modular Bird Bath
US Patent:
5743212, Apr 28, 1998
Filed:
Dec 13, 1996
Appl. No.:
8/766756
Inventors:
Anthony W. Forjohn - Lafayette Hill PA
International Classification:
A01K 704
US Classification:
119 695
Abstract:
A self filling, modular bird bath with an automatic fill valve operated by a float mechanism. The bath consists of single or multiple basin modules (25) attached to a hollow vertical support module (10). The support module contains an automatic fill valve (17) housed in a float chamber (12) which delivers water to the float chamber and thence by gravity flow to the interconnected basin modules. The fill valve is pre-set to maintain the desired water level in the float chamber, and hence, in the basin modules. When the water level in the float chamber is lowered by dissipation of the water in the basin modules via bird bathing activity or evaporation, downward float movement opens the fill valve which supplies the water required to restore the pre-set water level. The support module is engaged and supported by a bracket (15) attached to a ground stake (16). The support module is equipped with a standard garden hose fitting, which delivers pressurized potable water to the float chamber via a garden hose (18).
