Apparatus and method for transferring liquid over an obstacle

Abstract

Apparatuses and methods for allowing a liquid to pass over an obstacle, comprising: a generally trapeze shaped inlet platform for allowing liquid to enter from the wide-front side, having two side walls for deflecting said liquid and narrow-back side for allowing said liquid to exit; a generally trapeze shaped outlet platform for allowing liquid to enter from the narrow-front side, having two side walls for deflecting said liquid and wide-back side for allowing said liquid to be disposed; an elevated duct connecting said inlet to said outlet having a front side in the same width of the inlet narrow-back side and a back side in the same width of the narrow-front side of the outlet; an attachment means allowing attachment to said obstacle, wherein liquid is shoveled to said inlet and disposed through said outlet.

1 . A liquid passage apparatus, for transferring liquid over an obstacle, comprising:
 a generally trapeze shaped inlet platform for allowing liquid to enter from the wide-front side, having two side walls for deflecting said liquid and narrow-back side for allowing said liquid to exit;   a generally trapeze shaped outlet platform for allowing liquid to enter from the narrow-front side, having two side walls for deflecting said liquid and wide-back side for allowing said liquid to be disposed;   an elevated duct connecting said inlet to said outlet having a front side in the same width of the inlet narrow-back side and a back side in the same width of the narrow-front side of the outlet;   an attachment means allowing attachment to said obstacle,   
       wherein liquid is shoveled to said inlet and disposed through said outlet. 
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of claim l wherein at east one of said generally trapeze shaped platform walls is a polygon. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 1  further comprising non-rigid connectors between said platforms and duct. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 1  comprising rubber rim removably connected to said wide-front side of the inlet platform.

         6 . (canceled) 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 1  comprising at least two lateral handles for carrying the apparatus. 
     
     
         8 . The apparatus of  claim 4  wherein said rubber rim is removably connected to said wide-front side of the inlet platform using a connector. 
     
     
         9 . The apparatus of  claim 8  wherein said connector comprise two sides wherein at least one side comprise a male or female rail profile adapted to connect to an opposite male or female rail of said rubber rim or said wide-front side of the inlet platform. 
     
     
         10 . The apparatus of  claim 9  wherein said rubber rim and said wide-front side of the inlet platform each further comprise male rail profile adapted to connect to said connector female rail profile. 
     
     
         11 . The apparatus of  claim 1  further comprise at least one modular elevation leg. 
     
     
         12 . The apparatus of  claim 11  wherein said modular elevation leg is attached to an element selected from the group consisting of: said inlet, said outlet and said duct. 
     
     
         13 . The apparatus of  claim 12  wherein said modular elevation leg comprise a non-removable basic elevation module and at least one more elevation modules. 
     
     
         14 . A method for transferring water over an obstacle comprising steps of:
 providing a generally trapeze shaped inlet for allowing liquid to enter from the wide-front side;   providing two side walls for deflecting said liquid;   providing narrow-back side for allowing said liquid to exit;   providing a means for disposing of liquid in the form of a generally trapeze shaped outlet platform allowing liquid to enter from the narrow-front side and exiting through the wide back side;   providing means for attaching to said obstacle,   wherein said duct is elevated to allow placement of apparatus over an obstacle.   
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 14  wherein at least one of said generally trapeze shaped platform walls is a polygon. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 14  further comprising a step of providing non-rigid connectors between said platforms and duct. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 14  further comprising a step of providing rubber rim connected to said wide-front side of the inlet platform. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 14  wherein said obstacle is a rail of a sliding door or window. 
     
     
         19 . (canceled) 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 17  wherein said rubber rim is removably connected to said wide-front side of the inlet platform using a connector. 
     
     
         21 . The method of  claim 20  wherein said connector comprise two sides wherein at least one side comprise a male or female rail profile adapted to connect to an opposite male or female rail of said rubber rim or said wide-front side of the inlet platform. 
     
     
         22 . The method of  claim 21  wherein said rubber rim and said wide-front side of the inlet platform each further comprise male rail profile adapted to connect to said connector female rail profile.
