Title

(EN) PORTABLE TANK WITH CATCHMENT ZONE

(FR) RÉSERVOIR PORTABLE AVEC ZONE DE CAPTAGE

Abstract

(EN) A portable tank that can catch cold unwanted water from a cold start showering operation, the tank being configured to readily movable between catchment and transport configurations and in each one of those positions, the normal operations of warm up and showering can be undertaken. The tank is portable, for catching water from a shower head in a shower recess, and transporting the water to another place where it may be usefully deployed, and it is movable between a catchment configuration and a transport configuration, the tank including: a hollow body including a catchment zone in an upper portion for catching water, the catchment zone being disposed in an upper portion when the tank is in the catchment configuration; an inlet in the catchment zone for allowing water into the tank; an outlet for pouring water from the tank, the outlet being in an upper portion of the tank when the tank is disposed in the transport configuration; and one or more handles for carrying the tank and pouring the water from the outlet.

(FR) L'invention concerne un réservoir portable qui peut capter de l'eau froide indésirable provenant d'une opération de douche démarrant à froid, le réservoir étant configuré pour une transition aisée entre des configurations de captage et de transport, et les opérations normales de préchauffage et de douche pouvant être entreprises dans chacune de ces positions. Le réservoir est portable, sert à capter de l'eau d'une pomme de douche dans un évidement de douche, et à transporter l'eau vers un autre endroit où il peut être utilement déployé, et il peut être changé entre une configuration de captage et une configuration de transport, le réservoir comprenant : un corps creux comprenant une zone de captage dans une partie supérieure pour capter de l'eau, la zone de captage étant disposée dans une partie supérieure lorsque le réservoir est dans la configuration de captage ; une entrée dans la zone de captage pour laisser entrer l'eau dans le réservoir ; une sortie pour verser l'eau à partir du réservoir, la sortie se trouvant dans une partie supérieure du réservoir lorsque le réservoir est disposé dans la configuration de transport ; et une ou plusieurs poignées pour transporter le réservoir et verser l'eau à partir de la sortie.
