Liquid reservoir

Abstract

A liquid reservoir (100) includes a body (102) defining a base (104) and a plurality of sides (106). The plurality of sides (106) and the base (104) define a volume (116) to store the liquid (101) therein. The liquid reservoir (100) also includes a pump (122) operatively mounted with the liquid reservoir (100). The liquid reservoir (100) is characterized in that the body (102) includes one or more mounting features (138), (140), (338) such that the one or more mounting features (138), (140), (338) allow removable mounting of the pump (122) towards the base (104) of the liquid reservoir (100).

1 . A water reservoir to store water for gardening operations, comprising:
 a body defining a base and a plurality of sides,   wherein the plurality of sides and the base define a volume to store the water therein; and   a pump operatively mounted within the water reservoir;   characterized in that:   the body includes one or more mounting features,   wherein the pump remains upright-mounted on the base of the liquid reservoir, and   wherein the one or more mounting features couple, mount, or engage around a top, or anywhere on a body of the pump such as to allow removable mounting of the pump towards the base of the liquid reservoir.   
     
     
         2 . The water reservoir of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more mounting features include at least one recessed cavity which is defined below a level of the base of the water reservoir. 
     
     
         3 . The water reservoir of  claim 1 , wherein the base includes one or more mounting features such that the one or more mounting features allow removable mounting of the pump with the base of the water reservoir. 
     
     
         4 . The water reservoir of  claim 2 , wherein the one or more mounting features include one or more shoulders defined around the at least one recessed cavity and with the base. 
     
     
         5 . The water reservoir of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more mounting features include one or more of ribs, hooks, and shoulders. 
     
     
         6 . The water reservoir of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more mounting features mount the pump substantially perpendicular to the base of the water reservoir. 
     
     
         7 . The water reservoir of  claim 1 , wherein the pump defines a bottom, such that the one or more mounting features at least partially cover the bottom during mounting of the pump with the base of the water reservoir. 
     
     
         8 . The water reservoir of  claim 1 , wherein the water reservoir further includes a cover to enclose the plurality of sides. 
     
     
         9 . The water reservoir of  claim 1 , wherein the pump includes a tube which enters the body of the water reservoir. 
     
     
         10 . The water reservoir of  claim 8 , wherein the tube enters the body through an opening of the cover. 
     
     
         11 . The water reservoir of  claim 1 , wherein the pump is tool-less removable from the one or more mounting features of the water reservoir.
