摘要

A device 1 for screening solid matter from a water stream being directed into a tank is 5 disclosed. The device 1 includes a screen 41 mounted on a housing 3 for screening debris out of water that is directed into the housing 3 through a water inlet. The screen 41 also includes two mounting elements in the form of laterally outward projecting stub arms 53, 55 for mounting on complementary mounting supports 57, 59 on walls 7, 9 of the housing 3. The stub arms 53, 55 permit the screen 41 to be manually raised out of 10 the operative position by a user by either lifting or pivoting the screen 41 out of the operative position. The screen 41 may curve convexly down from its rear edge to its front edge with a radius of curvature of 0.5 to 1.0m. The curve on the screen 41 assists with the removal of debris from the surface of the screen. 15 FIG 1 FOR PUBLICATION (71 75 -i <2 ~fJ AZ± K K) I cii
