Abstract:
A frameless, modular connector pipe screen insert designed for installation within storm water infrastructure, including a catch basin, for the treatment of storm water by removing trash and debris from incoming water flow. The connector pipe screen is optimally designed with perforation sizes and void areas to remove trash and debris; thereby preventing further pollution of nearby water systems including rivers, lakes, and oceans.

Claim (Index 1):
A modular connector pipe screen device for insertion into a stormwater catch basin,\n wherein the modular connector pipe screen device is mounted to the walls of the catch basin and is positioned to span across the outlet pipe of the catch basin to prevent debris from entering the pipe during low to moderate flow conditions, said modular connector pipe screen device is made of two end pieces and one middle piece, wherein said end piece has a curved surface with two flanges bent at a 90-degree angle from each end curved surface and extending vertically the full height of the end piece, wherein said end piece is made of perforated stainless steel with round holes with a diameter of 1.0 mm to 20.0 mm in size, said void area of perforated stainless steel from 25% to 75%, wherein said end piece is supported by one or more cross supports running horizontally from one of the curved surface to opposite end of the curved surface, wherein said cross support is bent into an L shape and is made of perforated stainless steel with round holes with a diameter of 1.0 mm to 20.0 mm in size, said void area of perforated stainless steel from 25% to 75%, wherein said side pieces with said cross supports each having an end securely mounted to the wall of the catch basin, wherein said securely mounted side pieces, on the ends not attached to the catch basin wall, connected together by a middle piece, wherein said middle pieces is has a flat surface with two flanges bent at a 90 degree angle from each end of the flat surface and extending vertically the full height of the middle piece, wherein the said middle piece is made of perforated stainless steel with round holes with a diameter of 1.0 mm to 20.0 mm in size, said void area of perforated stainless steel from 25% to 75%, wherein said end and middle pieces connected together with mounting pins.
