Abstract

Abstract A sanitary device for a sewerage channel with an openable grating includes a bottom plate and four side walls which together define a space therebetween for accommodating several filtering plates for filtering dirt or the like contained in the rain water which drains into the sewerage channel through the sanitary device. EAch of the four side walls has several apertures for passage of rain water to the sewerage channel. A first disinfecting container containing volatile disinfectant, such as mothballs, for cleaning the air inside the sewerage channel is attached to the side walls of the sanitary device. A hollow cylindrical tank is provided on an upper side of the bottom plate and extends upwards for receiving a second disinfecting container containing liquid disinfectant.
