Abstract
The invention provides a conversion means for converting a fixed type evaporative cooler (10) to a mobile type that includes a base with an opening (15), a sump (14) which can be of a size to suit one or more large coolers, means to accommodate a pump in the sump, wheels (24) firmly attached to the sump for support and mobility thereof, a filling station (22) for depositing water into the sump, and means to secure the sump to the base of a large cooler (12). The means to accommodate the pump includes a buoyant platform (16) thereby enabling the pump to remain in communication with fluid in the sump irrespective of the fluid level.
Claims16
A conversion means for converting an evaporative cooler of a fixed type to a mobile type including a base with an opening, a sump, a means to accommodate a pump in the sump, wheels firmly attached to the sump, a filling station for depositing water into the sump, and means to secure the sump to the base, said means to accommodate a pump including a buoyant platform and a mounting means on said buoyant platform for mounting the pump thereby enabling the pump to remain in communication with fluid in the sump independent of the fluid level in the sump.
A conversion means for converting an evaporative cooler of a fixed type to a mobile type including a base with an opening, a sump, a means to accommodate a pump in the sump, wheels firmly attached to the sump, a filling station for depositing water into the sump, and means to secure the sums to the base said sump also including a lip at the upper end of a wall of the sump thereby inhibiting the spillage of water from the sump during movement of the converted mobile cooler.
A conversion means for converting an evaporative cooler of a fixed type to a mobile type including a base with an opening, a sump, a means to accommodate a pump in the sump, wheels firmly attached to the sump, a filling station for depositing water into the sump, and means to secure the sums to the base, and, said filing station including an aperture in the upper end of a wall of the sump, and said filling station also including a baffle to inhibit spillage or splashing of water.
A conversion means for converting an evaporative cooler of a fixed type to a mobile type including a base with an opening, a sump, a means to accommodate a pump in the sump, wheels firmly attached to the sump, a filling station for depositing water into the sump, means to secure the sump to the base, said sump being generally rectangular in shape and said wheels depending from each corner of said sump, said wheels being of sufficient dimensions to enable the insertion of a lifting device beneath the sump.
A conversion means for converting an evaporative cooler of a fixed type to a mobile type including a base with an opening, a sump, a means to accommodate a pump in the sump, wheels firmly attached to the sump, a filling station for depositing water into the sump, means to secure the sump to the base, and said sump including a water level indicator, said water level indicator including a hollow transparent tube aligned generally vertically, the lower end of the tube being in fluid communication with the interior of the sump, an said water level indicator also including sloping indicator lines at the rear of the tube, said lines being of a slope such that when viewed through water the lines appear generally horizontal.
A conversion means for converting an evaporative cooler of a fixed type to a mobile type including a base with an opening, a sump, a means to accommodate a pump in the sump, wheels firmly attached to the sump, a filling station for depositing water into the sump, means to secure the sump to the base, said sump including recesses in the walls of the sump providing grasping points for the hands of a user.
