Abstract:
A water detention chamber, and a system constructed from multiple such chambers, is an arch-shaped corrugated chamber having a flange having an upper surface and a lower surface. The lower surface of the flange has one or more protrusions, preferably elongated members, at the first end of the chamber. The upper surface of the flange has one or more mating apertures or cavities formed therein. Multiple such chambers can be connected to each other in an end-to-end fashion with protrusions at the first ends of a chamber engaged with apertures or cavities at the second ends of a second chamber.

Claim (Index 1):
A water detention system, comprising:\n a first plastic arch-shaped corrugated chamber having corrugations distributed along a length of the chamber extending transverse to a longitudinal axis of the chamber, the chamber having a top portion and two side portions, with a base at a lower end of each side portion, the chamber length defined by a first end and a second end; and a first flange provided at the base of each lower end of each side portion of said first plastic arch-shaped corrugated chamber, said first flange extending substantially perpendicular to the lower end of each side portion and having a first upper surface and a first lower surface; wherein the first lower surface of said first flange at the first end includes a first protrusion formed as an elongated member; wherein the first upper surface of said first flange at the second end includes a first aperture or cavity formed therein formed as an elongated slot; and a second plastic arch-shaped corrugated chamber having corrugations distributed along a length of the chamber extending transverse to a longitudinal axis of the chamber, the chamber having a top portion and two side portions, with a base at a lower end of each side portion, the chamber length defined by a first end and a second end; and a second flange provided at the base of each lower end of each side portion of said second plastic arch-shaped corrugated chamber, said second flange extending substantially perpendicular to the lower end of each side portion and having a second upper surface and a second lower surface; wherein the second lower surface of said second flange at the first end includes a second protrusion formed as an elongated member; wherein the second upper surface of said second flange at the second end includes a second aperture or cavity formed therein formed as an elongated slot; and wherein the first and second chambers are affixed to each other in an end-to-end fashion, a first upstanding end corrugation of the first chamber fitted over top of a second upstanding end corrugation of the second chamber such that the second upstanding end corrugation is nested within the first upstanding end corrugation, wherein said first protrusion is fitted into and engages with said second aperture or cavity such that the two side portions of the first plastic arch-shaped corrugated chamber are prevented from moving laterally away from the two side portions of the second plastic arch-shaped corrugated chamber.
