Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a drainage cover with a hair catcher for a drainage port of a drainage channel of a basin or a tub or the like according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • drainage covers For drainage holes of pelvis or tubs or the like, such as those found in showers, bathtubs and washbasins, drainage covers are known, which cover the drainage opening cosmetically. Such drain covers have a larger diameter than the drain opening.
  • a drain plug for the drain opening which can be moved in the drain opening along a longitudinal axis from an open position, which releases the drainage channel for water, to a closed position, which closes the drainage channel for water.
  • the closure stopper has a closure edge in order to be able to seal tightly with the drainage opening in the closed position.
  • the plug is moved up to the open position and down to the closed position by an associated movement mechanism connected to the pelvis.
  • the stopper has a gradually dissolving in the water substance such as a cleaning and / or fragrance substance, which exchanges with the water during drainage.
  • Such plugs are found for example in water or sink, sinks, bathtubs, shower trays or other basins or tubs, referred to briefly as the basin or tub.
  • the disadvantage here is that the stopper must be adapted to the movement mechanism and that hair can clog the drainage channel. The stopper also wobbles in the drainage channel.
  • EP 1 580 337 A1 discloses a sealing plug with a container for the gradually consumed substance in the water.
  • FR 2 837 224 discloses another sealing plug with a sealing surface having and at the edge of the drain opening immediately adjacent closure part, on the downstream side a water-flowed, partially open carrier is provided, the carrier can absorb the gradually consumed in the water substance.
  • a grid structure with a plurality of passages in the Area of the drain opening is provided for a replacement of the water and gradually consumed in the water substance, a grid structure with a plurality of passages. Often, the lattice structure closes itself by attaching hair.
  • DE 102 20 996 discloses another closure plug having a plug-like and a sieve-like end, wherein the plug-like end has a seal member fixedly connected to the screen-like end for circumferentially securing in the drainage tube and a lid member or closure member detachably connected to the seal member.
  • a main body of the screen-like end an inlet opening for the water is provided, wherein the water runs through the sieve-like end.
  • the sieve-like end is not suitable for taking up the gradually consumed substance in the water, but it is only for catching hair.
  • the drain cover should be able to absorb the gradually consumed substance in the water.
  • the substance should deliver to the water or the air, for example, a deodorant, an antibacterial and / or a fungicidal substance.
  • the drain cover or a visual stopper should also be able to absorb as much of the substance as possible in order to refill it only at the largest possible intervals.
  • the substance should be easy to fill. Different heights of the occlusion and orifice arm in the drainage channel are sometimes problematic because the sealing plugs often are not properly adaptable because they are either too short or too long.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to eliminate disadvantages of the prior art, to provide a drain cover for a drain opening in a tank that can be attached as easily as possible over the drain opening on the basin, which is a water-soluble substance with fragrances or cleansers and which is as insensitive as possible to hair and through which the hair can be removed as easily as possible.
  • the drain cover is securely held by the at least three spacers to the pool and is independent of a vertical movement mechanism for a stopper, so that water can flow in a predetermined manner.
  • a part of the substance, which is located in the container is replaced by the at least one first passage opening.
  • the bristle portion intercepts hairs which are swept along by the radially outwardly bristles, so that the first openings or further openings, which are preferably located directly on the container, can remain hair-free.
  • the bristle part can be easily cleaned or preferably replaced.
  • the entire structure is very simple and inexpensive. Overall, the drain cover contributes to better hygiene in the home. A simple installation and adaptation to the respective pool or the tub is also possible by the preferably mounted in different places or einticianbaren spacers.
  • the bristle portion are so long and designed with such a wide diameter that it can be clamped in the drainage channel after a depression and remains held therein.
  • the container is preferably designed to be correspondingly long in order to make the stock of the substance as large as possible.
  • the bristle part on the container and / or the connecting element is preferably designed attachable and removable, it can be easily replaced without needing to clean it. This is particularly advantageous when cleaning foreign baths or in the hospital from a hygiene perspective and to prevent germ spreading and / or infection.
