Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a water seal for floor drains according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Water seals of the abovementioned type are previously known from e.g. SE 506 407 or DE 4 437 873 .
  • the cup-shaped member includes a screw-type portion which is screwed into a nut-like portion of the tubular member.
  • the purpose of this construction is to screw the cup-shaped member upwards towards a seat on the tubular member for closing the water seal.
  • This construction does not permit any quick connection of the cup-shaped and tubular members to each other in a fixed and permanent relation to each other.
  • the publication SE 469 637 illustrates an example of water seals wherein the cup-shaped members and the tubular members are eccentrically mounted relative to each other. At these water seals the cup-shaped member as well as the tubular member lack mounting members provided inside said members and the cup-shaped member has instead outer mounting members for mounting thereof in a suitable location. Such outer positioning or provision of the mounting members of the cup-shaped member is however disadvantageous when the cup-shaped and tubular members are centered relative to each other.
  • the object of the present invention is to eliminate these and other drawbacks at the abovementioned water seals and this is achieved by the water seal as described in claim 1.
  • the water seal according to the present invention comprises cup-shaped and tubular members that can be quickly connected to each other in a fixed and permanent position relative to each other and by means of mounting members provided inside said cup-shaped and tubular members.
  • the water seal 1 illustrated in the drawings is intended for location in a floor drain 2 or similar in order to define a so called odour lock therein, i.e. for preventing odours from finding their way up through the floor drain 2.
  • the water seal 1 includes a tubular member 3 and a cup-shaped member 4. Externally on the tubular member 3 there is provided a retaining and sealing ring 5 or similar for sealingly fixing said tubular member 3 to the floor drain 2.
  • the water-seal function is achieved in a known manner while the tubular member 3 extends down into the cup-shaped member 4 and while the water level in said cup-shaped member 4 is located above a lower edge of the tubular member 3.
  • the tubular and cup-shaped members 3, 4 are attached to each other by means of coupling members 6 and 7 respectively, provided centrally or substantially centrally in the tubular member 3 and in the cup-shaped member 4 respectively, such that said tubular and cup-shaped members 3, 4 are set in centered or substantially centered positions relative to each other. At the embodiment shown, this is illustrated by the centered location of the tubular and cup-shaped members 3, 4 relative to the vertically oriented centre line CL.
  • the coupling member 6 of the tubular member 3 is tubular and is directed axially relative to said tubular member 3.
  • This tubular coupling member 6 is provided on one or more blade-like brackets 8 which extend in radial direction to wall portions 9 of the tubular member 3 and in axial direction along at least the major part of said wall portions 9.
  • Lower portions 10 of the tubular coupling member 6 have a diameter D1 which is less than the diameter D2 of upper portions 11 thereof.
  • a transition edge 12 between said lower and upper portions 10, 11 defines a coupling portion K1 with radially directed coupling surfaces for connecting the coupling members 7 of the cup-shaped member 4 to the tubular coupling member 6.
  • the coupling member 7 of the cup-shaped member 4 has a cylindrical pin 16 with two axially directed tongues 13, 14 which are defined by the pin 16 on opposite sides of an axially directed slit 15 in said pin 16.
  • the diameter D3 of lower portions 17 of this pin 16 is adapted to the diameter D1 of the lower portions 10 of the coupling member 6 such that no unacceptable play arises in radial direction between said pin 16 and the tubular coupling member 6.
  • Beneath the lower portions 17 of the pin 16 there is provided a radially directed edge 18 and upper portions 19 of the pin 16 have a larger diameter D4 than the diameter D3 of the lower portions 17 and said diameter D1 of the lower portions 10 of the tubular coupling member 6.
  • said upper portions 19 will be divided in two coupling portions K2 and K3, of which one coupling portion K2 forms part of the tongue 13 and the other coupling portion K3 forms part of the tongue 14.
  • a radially directed transition edge 20 between the lower portions 17 and the upper portions 19 is defined by the pin 16 having a radially directed transition-edge portion 21 on one tongue 13 and a radially directed transition-edge portion 22 on the other tongue 14.
  • Said transition-edge portions 21, 22 define the coupling surfaces of the coupling member 7, adapted to cooperate with corresponding coupling surfaces on the coupling member 6 defined by the transition edge 12.
  • the length L of said lower portions 17 of the pin 16 is adapted to the corresponding length of the lower portions 10 of the tubular coupling member 6 such that no unacceptable play in axial direction arises between said lower portions 17 and 10.
  • the upper portions 19 of the pin 16 are formed into a tip or point which by the slit 15 is divided in two parts, namely one part on each tongue 13, 14.
  • the tongues 13, 14 have resilient properties such that they from starting positions during loading in radial direction towards each other can be brought to spring in radial direction towards each other, and when said loading ceases, the tongues 13, 14 automatically spring back in radial direction from each other in order to resume their starting positions. Since the tongues 13, 14 have said elastic properties, they can be inserted into the lower portions 10 of the coupling member 6 and since these lower portions 10 have a less diameter D1 than the upper portions 19 of the pin, said tongues 13, 14 are brought to spring in radial direction towards each other such that there is room therefor in said lower portions 10. Then the coupling portions K2, K3 of the tongues 13, 14 pass the transition edge 12, i.e.
  • the tongues 13, 14 can spring back in radial direction from each other and resume their original positions.
  • the coupling portions K2, K3 of the tongues will be set in coupling positions relative to the coupling portion K1 such that the tubular and cup-shaped members 3, 4 are connected to each other.
  • said members may be rotatable relative to each other about the centre line CL and there may be means 23, 24 which during this rotation press the tongues 13, 14 in radial direction towards each other until their coupling portions K2, K3 are in such positions relative to the coupling portion K1 and relative to the lower portions 17 that they are brought out of the engagement with said coupling portion K1 and withdrawn from said lower portions 17.
  • Said means 23, 24 may be guide portions at the coupling portion K1 and the coupling portions K2, K3 of the tongues 13, 14 may be brought to cooperate with these guide portions during said rotation in 90° such that said guide portions cause the coupling portions K2, K3 to leave their cooperation with the coupling portion K1.
  • the water seal 1 may include a plug 25 for covering the coupling portions K1, K2, K3 and it may include a handle 26 for facilitating removal thereof from the floor drain 2.
  • the handle 26 is shown in an upper position for said removal, but it can be let down for being out of the way.
  • the coupling portions K1, K2 and K3 may be designed and provided in other ways than shown and described.
  • the various members of the water seal 1 may be made of plastic or metallic material.
