Water reclamation container

Abstract

The idea of this invention is to prevent the loss of water when using the shower via a special concave slatted design on the side of the water container. The water saving device has a knob that can be rotated to seal in the water for later use and feet which allows for overflow water to go into the drain beneath the water source.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A container ( 100 ) configured for collecting and containing waste water from a shower head ( 200 ), wherein the container has a surface ( 110 ), wherein a major portion ( 120 ) of the surface ( 110 ) is concave, wherein the concave portion ( 120 ) defines a plurality of apertures ( 130 ), wherein each one of the plural apertures ( 130 ) is arranged along an associated one of a plurality of axes (X 1 -X 1 , X 2 -X 2 , X 3 -X 3 , X 4 -X 4 , X 5 -X 5 , X 6 -X 6 ), wherein the plural axes extend radially outwardly from a central region of the concave portion, wherein the container includes:
 an integral handle ( 20 ) extending outwardly from the concave portion ( 120 );   a first spaced-apart pair of integral feet ( 15 ) extending outwardly from the concave portion ( 120 ) for enabling the first pair of feet ( 15 ) to support the container ( 100 ) upon a surface (S) in a manner such that the concave portion ( 120 ) is arranged transverse to the surface (S);   a second spaced-apart pair of integral feet ( 160 ) extending outwardly from the surface ( 110 ) transverse to the first pair of feet ( 15 ) for enabling the second pair of feet ( 160 ) to support the container ( 100 ) upon a surface (S) such that the concave portion ( 120 ) is arranged substantially parallel to the surface (S), wherein the container ( 100 ) is placed upon the surface (S) between the shower head ( 200 ) and a floor drain ( 220 ) into which a water spray ( 240 ) can flow, wherein the water spray ( 240 ) would ordinarily flow into the floor drain ( 22 ), but for the apertures ( 130 ) in the concave major portion ( 120 ) enabling the water spray ( 240 ) to be collected in the container ( 100 ).   
     
     
         2 . The container ( 100 ) configured for collecting and containing waste water from a shower head ( 200 ) of  claim 5 , wherein the concave curvature ( 120 ) helps facilitate the flow of water into the container ( 100 ). 
     
     
         3 . The container ( 100 ) configured for collecting and containing waste water from a shower head ( 200 ) of  claim 5 , wherein the plurality of apertures ( 130 ) close and contain the waste water within the container ( 100 ). 
     
     
         4 . The container ( 100 ) configured for collecting and containing waste water from a shower head ( 200 ) of  claim 5 , wherein the integral handle ( 20 ) is hollowed out for additional water storage. 
     
     
         5 . The container ( 100 ) configured for collecting and containing waste water from a shower head ( 200 ) of  claim 5 , wherein the first spaced-apart pair of integral feet ( 15 ) are hollow allowing for additional water storage and the container ( 100 ) to stand vertically when not in use. 
     
     
         6 . The container ( 100 ) configured for collecting and containing waste water from a shower head ( 200 ) of  claim 5 , wherein the second spaced-apart pair of integral feet ( 160 ) are hollow allowing for additional water storage and the container ( 100 ) to stand horizontally as to not block excess water flow to the floor drain ( 220 ). 
     
     
         7 . The container ( 100 ) configured for collecting and containing waste water from a shower head ( 200 ) of  claim 5 , wherein a knob ( 5 ) connects to the plurality of apertures ( 130 ) to facilitate the opening and closing of the apertures ( 130 ).
