Drain pan and filtering system for a liquid containing drum

An annular drain pan mountable over a drum lid, the drum lid integral with a drum containing a liquid, a pump mounted through a first opening in the drum lid and a second opening in the drum lid adapted to function as an air hole, the annular drain pan comprising,

• a raised annular rim over a top surface and a side edge having a U-shaped indentation to accommodate an upwardly directed pump conduit;
• the top surface slanted downwardly from the U-shaped indentation to a drain hole axially aligned with the second opening of the drum, the top surface having multiple parallel channels for conducting liquids in the drain pan downwardly from the pump to the drain hole;
• and
• a drain hole cover mounted over the drain hole, the cover having a removable fine mesh filter to prevent solid particles from falling into the drum.

In a liquid containing cylindrical drum closed at a first end with a base member and at a second end with a lid, the lid having a first opening as a vertical conduit for a pump and a second opening as an air hole, the lid covered with an annular drain pan, the improvement wherein the annular drain pan comprises,

• multiple parallel channels on a top surface for conducting a liquid dripping from the pump downwardly to a portion of the drain pan containing a drain hole, the drain hole vertically aligned with the second opening in the drum lid;
• each multiple parallel channel formed between a pair of longitudinally extending walls having a height increasing from the pump conduit to the portion of the drip pan containing the drain hole;
• a cover mounted over the drain hole and integrally connected to the top surface of the drain pan having a removable fine mesh filter to prevent debris from falling into the drum;
• the annular drain pan having a raised annular rim over the top surface and a side edge having a U-shaped indentation to accommodate the vertical conduit for directing the pump.
