| 摘要 |
The present invention relates to novel oblong, preferably bilobular, sump containers or reservoir housings for containing sump pump stands and two or more sump pumps, which containers are more narrow, side-to-side, than conventional circular, frustoconical larger volume sump containers, and only slightly longer or wider lengthwise than such conventional standard-size containers, to provide a substantially larger interior integrated oblong cross-sectional floor area for the containment of two or more sump pumps without interference with each other. The present housings preferably have a top oblong reinforcing rim and a reinforcing bridge connecting the reinforcing rim across the width of said container. The present sump pump reservoir housings also have a two-piece oblong or bilobular cross-section cover which is attachable to the reinforcing rim to enclose the housing and which includes ports for the extension of pump discharge conduits from pumps within the housing through the cover to a discharge area.
