Abstract
A liquid dispersing system includes a plate having a plurality of spaced holes passing through the plate. The plate has a thickness, a top portion, and a bottom portion, and each hole comprises a first opening at the top portion of the plate and a second opening at the bottom of the plate. The first opening and the second opening of each hole are differently-sized, so that the holes divide and disperse drops of the liquid into smaller droplets.
Claims18
A liquid dispersing system disposed along a wall of a structure, comprising:
- a plurality of brackets mounted at spaced intervals along the wall below an upper end of the wall, wherein the plurality of brackets include vertical portions secured to the wall and lateral portions extending outwardly from the wall;
- and
- a plate having a plurality of spaced holes extending along and across the plate and passing through the plate, wherein the plurality of spaced holes comprise a mesh of holes that divide and disperse drops of liquid flowing downward from the upper end of the wall into smaller droplets, wherein the plate has a thickness, a top portion, and a bottom portion, wherein each hole comprises a first opening at the top portion of the plate and a second opening at the bottom portion of the plate, wherein the first opening and the second opening of each hole are differently-sized, and wherein a height of each hole corresponds to a thickness of the plate,
- wherein the plate is secured to the lateral portions of the plurality of brackets and extends outwardly from the wall in a path of the liquid flowing downward from the upper end of the wall.
