ABSTRACT:
A floating intake or suction head for use in pumping water from a pool, pond, stream or tank through a fire hose or the like, essentially includes two separately formed members, namely a float and a strainer. The strainer is connectable to a length of fire hose, and may be used independently of the float. When used with the float, the strainer and float relatively, slidably interengage, permitting the strainer to be slidably moved into a recess of the float, along a straight line, to a final position in which apertured brackets of the float and strainer align. Normally retracted, spring biased connecting pins mounted on the float are then quickly releasable and under the spring loading thereof shift axially through the brackets of the strainer, thus connecting the strainer to the float. Means on the strainer and float normally interengage the same against relative movement when the strainer reaches the position in which the pins are shiftable to make the connection between the float and strainer, but are quickly releasable to thereafter permit the strainer to pivot upon the pins to a position in which it is at least partially submerged in the body of water on which the float is buoyantly supported. The construction has the advantage of permitting the strainer to be used independently of the float, and the further advantage of permitting a quick connection to be made therebetween, without tools, in total darkness, or under other adverse conditions.
