Support for filter system

Abstract

The invention relates to a filter system for placement within a storm drain having a treater for treating water that flows into the storm drain, at least one bracket extending in a generally lateral direction from the treater for supporting the treater within the storm drain, and a director proximate to the at least one bracket for directing water toward the treater. The director has a generally vertical member perpendicular to the at least one bracket and a generally horizontal member extending from the generally vertical member toward the treater.

1 . A filter system for placement within a storm drain, comprising:
 a treater for treating water that flows into the storm drain;   at least one bracket extending in a generally lateral direction from said treater for supporting said treater within the storm drain;   a director proximate to said at least one bracket for directing water toward said treater; and   said director having a generally vertical member generally perpendicular to said at least one bracket and a generally horizontal member extending from said generally vertical member toward said treater.   
   
   
       2 . The filter system according to  claim 1 , further comprising a funnel sloping downwardly from said at least one bracket and said director for directing water toward said treater. 
   
   
       3 . The filter system according to  claim 2 , wherein said funnel includes a sloped member leading from each of said at least one bracket toward said treater. 
   
   
       4 . The filter system according to  claim 2 , wherein said funnel includes a sloped member leading from said director toward said treater. 
   
   
       5 . The filter system according to  claim 2 , said funnel is placed between said treater and said at least one bracket and said director. 
   
   
       6 . The filter system according to  claim 1 , further comprising a front bracket opposite said director. 
   
   
       7 . The filter system according to  claim 6 , wherein said front bracket has a generally vertical member generally perpendicular to said at least one bracket. 
   
   
       8 . A support for a filter system that is placed within a storm drain, comprising:
 a first bracket and a second bracket, each extending laterally;   a director having a generally horizontal member placed between said first and second brackets;   said director having a generally vertical member being generally perpendicular to said generally horizontal member, said first bracket, and said second bracket; and   a funnel sloping downwardly from said first bracket, said second bracket, and said generally horizontal member and adapted to be attached to a treater.   
   
   
       9 . The support according to  claim 8 , wherein said vertical member is adjustable in a horizontal direction relative to said horizontal member. 
   
   
       10 . The support according to  claim 8 , wherein said horizontal member is adjustable in a vertical direction relative to said vertical member. 
   
   
       11 . The support according to  claim 8 , further comprising a treater attached to said funnel for treating water. 
   
   
       12 . The support according to  claim 11 , wherein said funnel includes a sloped member leading from each of said at least one bracket toward said treater. 
   
   
       13 . The support according to  claim 11 , wherein said funnel includes a sloped member leading from said director toward said treater. 
   
   
       14 . The support according to  claim 11 , wherein said funnel is placed between said treater and said at least one bracket and said director. 
   
   
       15 . A filter system for placement within a storm drain, comprising:
 a treater for treating water that flows into the storm drain;   a first bracket and a second bracket, each extending in a generally lateral direction for supporting said treater within the storm drain; and   a director placed between said first and second brackets and being sloped downwardly toward said treater.   
   
   
       16 . The filter system according to  claim 15 , further comprising a funnel sloping downwardly from said at least one bracket and said director for directing water toward said treater.
