Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a drain unit comprising an elongated bottom gutter, a grate part and at least one discharge, where the grate part is positioned on top of the elongated bottom gutter and the discharge is connected to a lowermost area of the elongated bottom gutter.
  • drains Due to increased demand for new designs and different drain options, manufactures of drains experience a demand for elongated drains for use in wet areas in building structures, e.g. in bathrooms or in shower cubicles where the drain extends along the walls.
  • wet drains are preferred by some plumbers, and dry drains are preferred by other plumbers.
  • Known drains are typically of either the wet drain type or the dry drain type.
  • E.g. GB-A-2 282 156 describes a floor drain of the dry drain type comprising an elongated bottom gutter with a discharge arranged in a lowermost area of the elongated bottom gutter, and a cover which can be positioned on top of the elongated bottom gutter.
  • GB-A-2 282 156 does not indicate that this drain can be used as a wet drain.
  • the known drains typically have complicated safeguard units built into them, hence complicating the manufacturing and assembly of the drain. Furthermore a safeguard unit requires much space meaning that the drain cannot be a compact unit.
  • the grate part comprises a grate and a second gutter with a second discharge, where the grate is positioned on top of the second gutter and the second discharge is connected to a lowermost area of the second gutter and positioned in the discharge of the elongated bottom gutter and that the drain unit furthermore comprises at least one sealing collar adapted to be positioned in the discharge and to engage with the second discharge.
  • the sealing collar will be arranged between the discharges of the gutters, thereby preventing water collected in the lower gutter to drain off through the discharges.
  • the drain according to the present invention is used as a dry drain, no sealing collar will be arranged between the discharges of the gutters, hence allowing water collected in the lower gutter to drain off through the discharges.
  • the elongated bottom gutter is provided with a sloping bottom towards the discharge and the second gutter is provided with a sloping bottom towards the second discharge.
  • the drain unit comprises said sealing collar adapted to be positioned in the discharge and to engage with the second discharge.
  • the drain unit By designing the drain unit with an elongated bottom gutter wherein a second gutter is placed, it is possible to provide a drain unit which easily can be installed as either a wet or dry drain because it is possible to install the elongated bottom gutter in the floor and either seal off the connection between the elongated bottom gutter and the second gutter, or to leave the connection between the elongated bottom gutter and the second gutter open.
  • a discharge from the drain unit is required to lead collected water to the sewage system, and the discharge is connected to a lowermost area of the elongated bottom gutter, where the lowermost area is the area wherefrom it is possible to empty the entire content of the elongated bottom gutter.
  • the grate part comprises a grate and a second gutter with a second discharge, where the grate is positioned on top of the second gutter and the second discharge is connected to a lowermost area of the second gutter and positioned in the discharge of the elongated bottom gutter.
  • the construction of the drain unit makes it very easy to disassemble a mounted drain unit for the purpose of cleaning or repair.
  • the grate is removed from the second gutter and it is then possible, for example, to clean the second gutter.
  • the discharges are positioned at one end of or near the end of the gutters, thereby having only a long sloping bottom from the other end towards the discharges.
  • the discharges can be positioned at any place along the length of the gutters, thereby having sloping bottom parts from both ends towards the discharges, which, however, causes a slightly more complicated manufacturing of the drain unit.
  • the built-in safeguard against intrusive vermin, especially rats, in the present invention is obtained by the grate being provided with a number of slots and the second gutter being provided with a number of protruding members, where the protruding members are adapted to engage with the slots.
  • the engaging of the protruding members and the slots causes the grate to be hinged onto the second gutter, thereby allowing the grate to be lifted during cleaning or maintenance of the drain unit while at the same time preventing the vermin from pushing the grate aside and entering the room.
  • the hinge arrangement of the protruding members and the slots is preferably positioned at the same end or near the position of the second discharge, hence the safeguard against vermin will be more efficient because vermin cannot push the grate in such a manner that the protruding members will disengage from the slots.
  • the weight of the grate due to gravity, will provide a substantial obstacle to vermin because the lever principle means that they must lift the entire or part of the weight of the grate.
  • the discharges are placed at an end area of the gutters, but they can be placed anywhere in the gutters, thereby allowing flexible and numerous options for the design of the wet room or mounting of the drain unit.
  • the drain unit furthermore comprises a number of support members adapted to be positioned between the elongated bottom gutter and the second gutter where the support members are either blocks or strips of different sizes and thickness.
  • the support members are strips covering the entire or most of the length of the elongated bottom gutter apart from the discharge opening.
  • the strips have the same width as the width of the elongated bottom gutter whereby the person assembling the drain unit must only combine the strips to the wanted thickness in order to place the second gutter in the right height above the elongated bottom gutter
  • the support members are provided in an elastic and liquid-resistant material, e.g. rubber or plastic. Furthermore the material of the support members must be resistant against any kind of cleaning chemical typically used in wet rooms like bathrooms, utility rooms, kitchens or the like.
  • the sealing collar is provided with a smooth inside and on the outside provided with a number of protruding bulbs, where the second discharge is engaged in the sealing collar, thereby pressing the protruding bulbs outwards against the sidewall of the discharge, thereby efficiently sealing the connection between the discharge and the second discharge.
  • the sealing collar is provided in an elastic and liquid-resistant material, e.g. rubber or plastic. Furthermore the material of the sealing collar must be resistant against any kind of cleaning chemical typically used in wet rooms like bathrooms, utility rooms, kitchens or the like.
  • the grate is constituted by an elongated plate member adapted to provide a stepping surface of the second gutter and to allow water to penetrate, the plate member is provided with a number of openings positioned either in rows or in a pattern.
  • the grate is constituted by an elongated plate member adapted to provide a stepping surface of the second gutter with a surrounding narrow opening between the elongated plate member and the respective sides of the second gutter where the surrounding narrow opening allows the water to penetrate into the drain unit.
  • Fig. 1 shows an assembled drain unit 1 comprising an elongated bottom gutter 2 with a discharge 3 positioned near one end of the elongated bottom gutter 2.
  • a grate part 4 is positioned on top of the elongated bottom gutter 2 and comprises a grate 5 positioned on top of a second gutter 6.
  • the grate 5 is a plate member with a number of openings 12 arranged in rows allowing water to penetrate into the drain unit 1.
  • Fig. 2 shows a exploded view of the drain unit 1 and it can be seen that the grate part 4 comprises a grate 5 and a second gutter 6 with a second discharge 7 where the grate 5 is positioned on top of the second gutter 6 and the second discharge 7 is positioned opposite the discharge 3 of the elongated bottom gutter 2.
  • the drain unit 1 comprises a sealing collar 8 adapted to be positioned in the discharge 3 and to engage with the second discharge 7.
  • Fig. 3 shows a side view of the drain unit 1 and it is possible to see that the elongated bottom gutter 2 is provided with a sloping bottom towards the discharge 3 and the second gutter 6 is provided with a sloping bottom towards the second discharge 7.
  • the degree of sloping of the bottoms of the elongated bottom gutter 2 and the second gutter 6 is the same. This causes the water to enter the drain unit 1 and flow towards the discharges 3,7, thereby emptying the drain unit 1.
  • the same degree of sloping of the bottoms of the elongated bottom gutter 2 and the second gutter 6 means that it is only necessary to provide support members (not shown) each having uniform thickness. This makes it easy to adjust the height of the second gutter 6 in relation to the elongated bottom gutter 2.
  • the degree of sloping of the bottoms of the elongated bottom gutter 2 and the second gutter 6 may be different, making it necessary to provide support members (not shown) with different thicknesses.
  • the grate 5 is provided with slots 9 and the second gutter 6 is provided with a protruding member 10, which is adapted to engage with the slots 9, thereby hinging the grate 5 to the second gutter 6, allowing the grate 5 to revolve around the protruding member 10.
  • Fig. 4 shows that the discharge 3 of the elongated bottom gutter 2 is positioned beneath the second discharge 7 of the second gutter 6 and the sealing collar 8 is adapted to be positioned in the discharge 3 and to engage with the second discharge 7.
  • the protruding member 10 is shown as a round bar positioned near the end of the second gutter 6 and across the second gutter 6.
  • the slots 9 are positioned inside flanges of the grate 5 and shown as approximately straight slots adapted to receive the protruding member 10.
  • the slots 9 can be positioned optionally along the grate 5 whereby the protruding member 10 will be positioned in the second gutter 6 in such a position that the protruding member 10 can engage with the slots 9, which can be formed as bended slots to prevent unwanted lifting of grate 5.
  • Fig. 5 shows a detail view of the safeguard against intruding vermin especially rats comprising the protruding member 10 engaging with the slots 9, which prevents the rats from pushing the grate 5 aside and entering the wet room (not shown) through the discharge 3 of the drain unit 1.
  • rats To evade this safeguard, rats must either disengage the protruding member 10 from the slots 9 or lift the whole weight of the part of the grate revolving around the protruding member 10.
  • a plate member, a hook member or the like (not shown) can be used, which is connected to the grate 5 and which is either bended around or bended down past the protruding member 10, thereby preventing the protruding member 10 from sliding out of the slots 4.
  • a rat To prevent a rat from lifting the grate 5, it is provided in a heavy material, e.g. rustproof steel which in combination with the lever principle and gravity causes the grate 5 to be too heavy to lift for any kind of vermin.
  • a heavy material e.g. rustproof steel which in combination with the lever principle and gravity causes the grate 5 to be too heavy to lift for any kind of vermin.
  • Figs. 4-5 show a detail view of the sealing collar 8 which has a smooth inside and is provided with protruding bulbs 11 on the outside.
  • the assembling of the drain unit 1 with the sealing collar 8 is performed in the following manner:
  • Figs. 6-7 show how to remove the grate 5 from the second gutter 6.
  • the protruding member 10 is disengaged from the slots 9 and it is then possible to remove grate 5 from the second gutter 6 by lifting it in direction B.
