High Flow Rate Sock Filter

Abstract

A filter system for filtering a fluid is disclosed which consists of a sock filter for use in a pool containing a high flow rate laminar flow current generator. The sock filter separates particles of a certain size from an unclean fluid. The unclean fluid is contained within a pool with a high flow rate laminar flow generator used to create laminar flow. Pools containing high flow rate laminar flow generators contain only low flow rate skimmer paper filters and do not contain floor drains and suction ports for removing settled particles. The High Flow Rate Sock Filter attaches to the high flow rate laminar flow generator and filters particles from the fluid within the pool. The sock filter can be detached for rinsing and cleaning.

Claims

1. A filter system for a fluid, comprising a sock filter having 4 perpendicular side walls, one open top wall with snap attachments, and a closed bottom wall connected to said 4 perpendicular walls to form an enclosure, said open top wall contains 4 corner snaps to connect to high flow rate laminar generator placed in a container holding a large quantity of fluid, said sock filter expands during high flow rate laminar generation in said container routing unclean fluid through said sock filter, said sock filter traps particles filtering from said container.

2. The filter system of claim 1 wherein said container holding a large quantity of fluid is a high flow rate swimming pool.

3. The filter system of claim 1 wherein said sock filter is constructed of 100 percent polyester monofilament mesh, 300 threads per inch, tensile strength 30 Newtons/centimeters 45 micron opening size (aperture) opening percentage 30 percent/ratio of surface area.

4. The filter system of claims 1 and 3 wherein said sock filter periphery is reinforced by woven rayon binding.

5. The filter system of claims 1, 3 and 4 wherein said open top wall has 4 male metal snap fasteners positioned on opposite corners of said woven rayon binding for attachment to corresponding female snaps mounted on high flow rate laminar generator during filtering process.

Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0031] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the High Flow Rate Pool Sock Filter fully assembled. The shaded portion is made of 100 Percent PolyesterMonofilament Mesh, 300 threads per inch, tensile strength 30 Newtons/Centimeters, 45 micron opening size (aperture), open percentage 30 percent/ratio of surface area.

[0032] References 10, 10A, 10B, and 10C are 4 side panels sewn together at top and bottom long edges to form a rectangular shape with an open bottom and an open top.

[0033] The open bottom, is enclosed by sewing a square bottom panel, Reference 20, to one end of the assembled rectangular shape of References 10, 10A 10B, and 10C. The Square bottom panel is made of 100 Percent Polyester Monofilament Mesh, 300 threads per inch, tensile strength 30 Newtons/Centimeters, 45 micron opening size (aperture), opening percentage 30 percent/ratio of surface area.

[0034] The open top formed by the assembled rectangular shape, References 10, 10 A, 10B, and 10C is not enclosed.

[0035] The open square top, Reference 30, is formed by woven rayon binding sewn over the open top raw edges of the assembled rectangular shape formed by References 10, 10A, 10B, and 10C.

[0036] Reference 50 designates the woven rayon binding. The woven rayon binding reinforces and adds structure and strength to the High Flow Rate Sock Filter. Woven rayon binding is represented by double lines which cover all outside edges/seams of the High Flow Rate Sock Filter.

[0037] FIG. 3 is an exploded view of the component pieces to construct the High Flow Rate Sock Filter.

[0038] All shaded areas are made of 100 Percent Polyester Monofilament Mesh, 300 threads per inch, tensile strength 30 Newtons/Centimeters, 45 micron opening size (aperture), opening percentage 30 percent/ratio of surface area.

[0039] References 10, 10A, 10B and 10C, designate the 4 side panels sewn together at top and bottom long edges to form a rectangular shape with an open bottom and an open top.

[0040] Reference 20 designates the square bottom panel that is sewn to the back of the assembled 4 side panels to enclose the back side of the High Flow Rate Sock Filter.

[0041] Reference 30 designates the open square top, formed by woven rayon binding sewn over the open top raw edges of the assembled rectangular shape formed by References 10, 10A, 10B, and 100 and Reference 20.

[0042] References 40, 40A, 40B, and 40C designate 4 male metal snaps incorporated at each corner of the open square top. The 4 male metal snaps, References 40, 40A, 40B, and 40C, attach to 4 mounted female snaps located in corresponding positions on the high flow rate laminar flow generator within the swimming pool.

[0043] Male and female snap attachments are made of a non corrosive metal.

[0044] Reference 50 designates the woven rayon binding which covers all outside edges/seams and forms the open square top. and forms the open square top, Reference 30. Woven rayon binding is represented by double lines and reinforces and adds structure and strength to the High Flow Rate Sock Filter
