Abstract:
A bi-partite sluiceway apparatus with silt removal tray components, comprising:a. a first elongated three-sided bottom containment tray;b. a plurality of right triangularly shaped soffet units affixed to outer walling of each lateral side of said first elongated three-sided bottom containment tray;c. said first elongated three-sided bottom containment tray having frontal edging, a planar orientation of which is perpendicular to a planar orientation of parallel lateral sides thereof,d. said lateral sides thereof being a first lateral side and a second lateral side both being perpendicularly inclined with respect to a rectangularly shaped bottom side thereof, which said bottom side extends laterally from a lie of said first lateral side and from a lie of said second lateral side;e. said first elongated three-sided bottom containment tray having a beveled posterior end;f. an elongated three-sided first silt collection tray;g. said elongated three-sided first silt collection tray being characterized everywhere throughout except as near a frontal end thereof by a right angularly inclined uppermost portion of a first lateral side thereof and a right angularly inclined uppermost portion of a second lateral side thereof;h. said elongated three-sided first silt collection tray having frontal edging a planar orientation of which is perpendicular to a planar orientation of said first lateral side and a planar orientation of said second lateral side, each of which said lateral sides are parallel with one another and perpendicularly inclined with respect to a bottom side thereof;i. said elongated three-sided first silt collection tray having a beveled posterior end;j. a first grasping plate characterized by the presence of a concentrically positioned first through hole;k. said first grasping plate being affixed along lateral sides thereof to inner walling of said elongated three-sided first silt collection tray near said beveled posterior end thereof;l. said elongated three-sided first silt collection tray being joinably supported along a bottom side of said right angularly inclined uppermost portion of said first lateral side thereof by top edging of said first lateral side of said first elongated three-sided bottom containment tray and along a bottom side of said right angularly inclined uppermost portion of said second lateral side by top edging of said second lateral side of said first elongated three-sided bottom containment tray;m. a second elongated three-sided bottom containment tray;n. a plurality of right triangularly shaped soffet units affixed to outer walling of each lateral side of said second three-sided bottom containment tray;o. said second elongated three-sided bottom containment tray having frontal edging, a planar orientation of which is perpendicular to a planar orientation of parallel lateral sides thereof;p. said lateral sides thereof being a first lateral side and a second lateral side both being perpendicularly inclined with respect to a bottom side thereof;q. said second elongated three-sided bottom containment tray having a beveled posterior end which said beveled posterior end is oppositely inclined to said beveled posterior end of said first elongated three-sided bottom containment tray;r. an elongated three-sided second silt collection tray;s. said elongated three-sided second silt collection tray being characterized everywhere throughout except as near a frontal end thereof by a right angularly inclined uppermost portion of a first lateral side thereof and a right angularly inclined uppermost portion of a second lateral side thereof;t. said elongated three-sided second silt collection tray having a frontal edging, a planar orientation of which is perpendicular to a planar orientation of said first lateral side and a planar orientation of said second lateral side, each of which said lateral sides are parallel with one another and perpendicularly inclined with respect to a bottom side thereof;u. said elongated three-sided second silt collection tray having a beveled posterior end which said beveled posterior end is oppositely inclined to said beveled posterior end of said elongated three-sided first silt collection tray;v. a second grasping plate characterized by the presence of a concentrically positioned second through hole;w. said second grasping plate being affixed along lateral sides thereof to inner walling of said elongated three-sided second silt collection tray near said beveled posterior end thereof;x. the whole of a basal edging of said beveled posterior end of said first elongated three-sided bottom containment tray and the whole of a basal edging of said beveled posterior end of said second elongated three-sided containment tray being everywhere pointwise in contact with one another upon assembly of the instant invention within a roadbed, and;y. the whole of a basal edging of said beveled posterior end of said elongated three-sided first silt collection tray and the whole of a basal edging of said beveled posterior end of said elongated three-sided second silt collection tray being everywhere pointwise in contact with one another upon assembly of the instant invention within a roadbed.
