Abstract:
1. A fluid collection device for transferring a fluid, comprising: a chamber having a first side and a second side positioned in space apart relationship to one another, and having a third side positioned between the first and the second sides, the first, second and third sides forming the chamber therebetween; the chamber having a plurality of apertures positioned through the first, second and third sides for flow of the fluid into the chamber; the chamber having at least one recess, and at least one of the first and second sides of the chamber having each of the plurality of apertures positioned within one of the at least one recess for substantially preventing clogging of the plurality of apertures during collection of the fluid, the diameter of the plurality of apertures being smaller than the diameter of the at least one recess for substantially preventing clogging of the plurality of apertures; the chamber having at least one groove positioned connecting at least a portion of the at least one recess for providing a pathway for flow of the fluid through the at least one groove, through the at least one recess and into the plurality of apertures; the chamber having an opening positioned in one of the at least one first, second and third sides for withdrawing the fluid from the chamber; a tube positioned in fluid communication with the opening of the chamber for withdrawing the fluid from the chamber through the tube the chamber having a retaining member extending therefrom, and the retaining member having a plurality of indentations spaced around the retaining member; a fluid distribution device having a disbursement housing attached to a plurality of tubing member extending therefrom for the distribution of the fluid, the fluid distribution device engageable with the retaining member of the chamber of the fluid collection device, wherein each of the tubing members is seated in a respective one of the indentations of the retaining member; and the chamber having a plurality of first spaces, each of the first spaces being positioned between a respective pair of the apertures for placement of the plurality of the tubing members of the fluid distribution device for reducing restriction of the fluid flow through the plurality of apertures and from the chamber.
