Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a plug for drains with facilitated adjustment. More specifically, the invention relates to a plug for closing plumbing drains for wash basins or bath tubs.
  • types of plugs are widespread on the market for closing plumbing drains for wash basins or bath tubs, which are characterized by a screw for adjusting the height of the opening and a corresponding fixing lock nut.
  • the aim of the present invention is to provide a plug for drains with facilitated adjustment, which makes it possible to avoid to intervene on the adjustment screw in order to adjust the height of the drain plug with respect to the level of the wash basin or bath tub.
  • an object of the present invention is to provide a plug for drains with facilitated adjustment, which makes it possible to prevent the plug from being removed from the drain when not allowed.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a plug for drains with facilitated adjustment, in which the plug always remains in the vertical position, in the interests of aesthetics.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a plug for drains with facilitated adjustment, in which the aesthetic covering element of the plug can be inserted without tools and with different sizes, shapes and finishes.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a plug for drains with facilitated adjustment, which is highly reliable, easily and practically implemented and of low cost.
  • a plug for drains with facilitated adjustment which comprises a plug body which is adapted to be inserted into a hole of a drain, said body being provided with a plurality of centering wings, an adjustment element being provided for coupling with said plug body, characterized in that said centering wings define an opening between them for the accommodation of said adjustment element, said adjustment element being provided with a shank which is provided with circumferential raised portions that are adapted to mesh in complementary circumferential slots defined in said opening, said opening allowing the insertion of said adjustment element in an inclined position and its subsequent straightening to a vertical position along the axis of said plug body.
  • the plug according to the invention comprises a plug body 1 which comprises a plate-like element 2 from which a plurality of centering wings 3 extend, downward with respect to a condition for use.
  • an opening or through cavity 4 is defined which allows the insertion of an adjustment element 5, which is conveniently constituted by an adjustment pin 6 which is provided with a head 7 and with a shank 8 which is provided with a plurality of circumferential raised portions 9 which constitute adjustment tabs, but not a threading.
  • the plug according to the invention further comprises a sealing element 10 and an aesthetic covering element 11 which is provided in a lower region with teeth 12 which couple with cavities 13 defined at the plate-like element 2, the plate-like element 2 being further provided with protrusions 14 which make possible, together with the cavities 13, the retention of the covering element 11.
  • the circumferential raised portions 9 of the shank 8 of the pin 5 between them define a plurality of troughs 15.
  • the opening 4 defined between the centering wings 3 is provided internally with corresponding crests 16 and troughs or slots 17, which are complementary to the crests 9 and to the troughs 15 of the pin 5.
  • the cavity or opening 4 is provided in a lower region with a pair of engagement fins 18, which are arranged mutually opposite and are adapted to enable the retention of the pin 5 when the latter is inserted into the opening 4.
  • the head 6 of the pin 5 is provided with an eyelet 20 which allows the insertion of a rod 40 for lifting the drain, shown in Figure 13 , in relation to the second embodiment of the invention, but understood to be similar in the first embodiment as well.
  • Figures 11-13 show the second embodiment of the plug according to the present invention which is differentiated from the first embodiment in that the protrusions 14 are adapted to engage a circumferential tooth 31 of the plug 11, with a gasket 30 arranged externally, around the circumferential tooth 31.
  • the operation of the plug for drains according to the present invention is as follows.
  • the user with the body 1 of the plug already coupled to the covering element 11, prepares the adjustment pin 5.
  • the adjustment pin 5 is inserted diagonally, i.e. inclined, into the opening 4 and is made to slide inside it up to the required height (inserting it into the opening 4 of the desired section of shank) and at this point, Figure 4 , it is made to rotate to the vertical position, so that it engages with the engagement fins 18, as shown in Figure 4 and in the following figures.
  • the pin 5 Once inserted into the opening 4, the pin 5 in its vertical position interlocks with the engagement fins 18 and also with arrangement in the troughs 17 which abut against the annular raised portions 9 of the pin 5. In practice, there is a shape coupling between the pin 5 and the inner surface of the opening 4.
  • the aesthetic covering element 11 is inserted with a pin by pressure, as previously described, and as a consequence it can have different sizes, shapes and finishing materials, always being coupled to the plate-like element 2 of the body 1 of the plug.
  • the centering wings 3 In order to prevent the plug from becoming inclined in an unattractive manner once opened, the centering wings 3 have been made so as to be deeper, creating a lower profile 21 (elongated ends) that extends beyond the adjustment plane which corresponds to the lower edge of the engagement fins 18.
  • the lengthening of the centering wings 3 makes it possible to have more guidance and so reduce the possibility that the plug 1 might become laterally inclined.
  • the plug for drains according to the invention fully achieves the set aim and objects, in that it makes it possible to prevent the plug from being screwed or coming unscrewed in unwanted manner, thus varying the opening gap between the covering element 11 of the plug and the drain hole fixed to the bottom of the wash basin or bath tub for which the plug is intended.
  • the covering element 11 can be fitted by pressure, screwed, capped, glued, heat-sealed to the plug body 1, or it can be provided directly by molding, monolithically with the plug body.
  • the materials used, as well as the contingent shapes and dimensions may be any according to the requirements and to the state of the art.
