Abstract
ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE
A flanged fitting comprises a flanged tubular member for positioning in an opening in a floor or roof to form a tubular conduit therethrough.
The fitting may be provided with an upstanding tubular member to which a secondary tubular member may be attached in the nature of a vent. A
sleeve is engaged about the tubular member as by a clamping member thereon with one portion of the sleeve being a larger diameter than the other and having a plurality of circumferentially spaced finger-like sections which are frangible. This invention is distinguishable from others by reason of the sleeve engaging the tubular member in such a way that it is adjustable upwardly against the underside of the floor or roof thereby clamping the flanged fitting thereagainst, with the frangible spaced fingers of the sleeve providing engagement around irregular surfaces of the floor or roof.

(2) Description of the Prior Art:
A typical floor drain structure is shown in U.S. Patent 3,481,632 to C.R. Suess, issued Dec. 2, 1969 and a water seal trap is seen in U.S. Patent 1,185,846 to J.G. Simpson, issued June 6, 1916. Similiar flange constructions are seen in reissue U.S. Patent 13,485 to F.W.

No prior art is known wherein a flanged tubular member is of integral construction and is provided with either a closet flange, a floor flange or a roof flange or alternately provided with a vertical exten-sion of the tubular member so that a vent pipe or the like may be attached thereto to extend thereabove. No prior art is known wherein an acljustable sleeve is secured to the tubular member and provided with frangible portions which arè engaged agaTnst the bottom of a roof or a floor so as to hold the flanged fitting in desired position in an opening in the roof or floor as necessary when providing For l:hc inslallation of a finished floor or the like.
SuImnary of the Invention A floor or roof flanged fitting consists of a flangecI tubular member with means on the tubular member for adjustably mounting a sleeve for movement longitudinally thereof, the upper end of the sleeve being enlarqed and provided with frangible portions so that it may be engaged 28 against the underside of the roof or floor through which the fitting is ..~

positioned to clampingly secure the fitting in desired relation in the opening.
Description of the Drawings Figure l is a cross sectional side elevation of the flanged fitting for floor or roof installations;
Figure 2 is a cross sectional side elevation of a modified flanged fitting; and Figure 3 is a horizontal section on line 3-3 of Figure 2.
_scription of the Preferred Embodiment By referring to the drawings and Figure l in particular, it will be seen that a section of a roof or floor structure lO is disclosed on which one or more layers of surface material ll are positioned. Support-ing membes 12 are shown beneath the floor or roof structure lO and may or may not be integrally formed therewith as will occur to those skilled in the art.
An opening 13 is formed in the roof or floor structure lO and a tubular member 14 having a flat outwardly extending annular flange 15 thereon inwardly of its upper end is shown positioned in the opening 13 and extending downwardly and upwardly vertically therethrough and to points above and below the support members 12. A sleevc 16, the lower end of which is of a cliameter slightly larger than the outer dtameter of the tubular member 14 has an upper portion of substantially larger diameter as indicated at 17 and is provided with a plurality of circumferentially spaced vertically arranged slots 18 so that in effect the uppermost portion 17 of the sleeve 16 is formed of a plurality of spaced vertically standing fingers l9.
In order that the sleeve 16 and its fingers l9 may be moved upwardly against the lower surface of the roof or floor structure lO
28 so as to position the outwardly extending annular flange 15 of the device in desired relation relative to the roof or floor structure 10 a clamping ring 20 is slidably engaged on the exterior surface of the tubular member 14. A plurality of circumferentially spaced bolts 21 are threadably engaged in threaded openings in the clamping ring 20 so that when they are turned inwardly of the clamping ring 20 they will forcibly engage the exterior surface of the tubular member 14 and hold the clamping ring 20 in desired position thereon.
As illustrated in Figure 1 of the drawings one or more of the finger-like portionsl9 have been broken away so that the upper end of the sleeve 17 can be positioned with its upper annular edge in engagement with the lower surface of the roof or floor portion 10 despite the presence of one of the support members 12 which would otherwise interfere with such positioning.
The clamping ring 20 has been moved upwardly along the tubular member 14 to properly position the sleeve 16 and bolts 21 turned inwardly to secure the same. The final adjustment of the position of the sleeve 16 relative to the floor or roof structure 10 may be made by rotatinq a pluraltty of secondary bolts 22 which are positioned in circumferentially spaced relation in vertically arranged threaded bores in the clamping ring 20 as will be understood by those skilled in the art.
Still referring to Figure 1 of the drawings, it will be seen that the uppermost portion of the tubular member 14 ancl indicated in Fi~ure 1 by the numeral 14A extends vertTcally above the uppcr surface of the flat outwardly extending flange 15 of the dcvice and may thereforè receive and retain a secondary tubular member 23.
As illustrated, the secondary tubular member 23 is shown cemeted in position in the portion 14A of the tubular member 14 but it will 28 occur to those skilled in the art that it may alternately be threadably l~ZflO9Z
engaged therein by matching thread patterns formed on the respective parts. A third tubular member 24 of smaller diam-eter than the tubular member 23 is positioned partially within the upper end of the tubular member 23 and is in turn provided with an outwardly and downwardly extending angularly disposed annular flange 25 which is secured to the third tubular member 24 by a ring and gasket 26. An adjustable vent pipe construction is thus easily arranged through the use of the device of the invention.
Those skilled in the art will observe that the flat out-wardly extending annular flange 15 may be altered in minor detail so that it will form a closet flange on which a water closet may be mounted as will occur to those skilled in the art and that when the device of the invention is employed for such a purpose, the positioning of the flat outwardly extending closet flange may be spaced above the surface of the floor 10 so as to accommodate the installation of a finished floor, such as ceramic tile or the like, as will occur to those skilled in the art. Such an altered flange is indicated by the numeral 15A
in Figure 1 of the drawings.
Now referring to Figure 2 of the drawings, an alternate form of the invention can be seen wherein a roof drain 2~
is mounted on a section of a roof or a Iloor structure 25 on which one or more layers of surface material 26 are posi-tioned. Supporting members 27 are shown beneath the roof structure 25. A tubular member 28 having a flat outwardly extending annular flange 29 on its upper end is positioned 28 in an opening 30 in the roof structure 10 and extends downwardly ' ~ ;
~lZ~09Z
therethrough to a point substantially below the support members 27. A sleeve 31, the lower end of which is of a diameter slightly larger than the outer diameter of the tubular member 28 has an upper portion of substantially larger diameter as indicated at 32 and is provided with a plurality of circum-ferentially spaced vertically arranged slots 33 so that in effect the upper portion 32 of the sleeve 31 is formed of a plurality of spaced vertically standing fingers 34.
A retaining nut 35 is threaded on its interior surface as at 36 is threadably engaged on an exterior threaed surface of the tubular member 28 thereby providing upward movement of the sleeve 31 and its fingers 34 against the lower surface of the roof structure 25 so as to hold the flat outwardly extending annular flange 29 of the device in sealing relation against the layered surface material 26. The finger-like portions 34 of the upper end 32 has been broken away as on frangible lines 37 in order to accommodate the support members 26 heretofore referred to.
As will be seen in Figure 3 a horizontal section on line 2-2 of Figure 1 and the area normally occupied by the upper portion of the sleeve 32.
Although but two embodiments of the present invention have been illustrated and described, it will be apparent to those skilled i.n the art that various changes and modifications may be made therein without departing from the spirit of the 26 invention.
