Definitions

  • the present invention is applicable to the field of construction and, in particular, relates to elements belonging to showers.
  • the present invention relates to a linear drain group of fluids from environments.
  • linear drains also have functional and hygienic advantages since the drain surface is conveniently accessible and consequently easily cleanable.
  • the lengths can be adapted to any shower type and size.
  • linear drains are composed of a water collection channel to which a cover body is coupled.
  • support elements of various heights capable of supporting the loads in operation and adapted to position most of the coatings at the desired height are generally used.
  • the presence of elements designed to raise the cover inside the channel to the desired height reduce the capacity of the channel itself.
  • the fluids, which flow to cover inside the channel to the desired height reduce the capacity of the channel itself.
  • the fluids, which flow to the sides or through the cover body flow inside the collection channel towards a drain hole typically connected with the plumbing.
  • the aforementioned presence of the support elements reduces the hydraulic section of the channel and therefore accordingly decreases the capacity and flow rate.
  • the support elements due to the shape thereof, tend to trap/jam residues of dirt accumulated in the shower tray such as, for example, hair transported by the flow of fluids along the channel, with the risk of obstructing the channel itself or the drain hole.
  • linear drains are present in the known art which have collection channels provided with steps along the lateral perimeter, or along part thereof. Such steps allow the cover body to rest thereon, directly or by interposing support elements therebetween, so that there are no further objects inside the collection channel.
  • steps present in the known drains do not allow to overcome the problems regarding the reduced hydraulic capacity of the collection channel; in fact, although eliminating the risk of blocking residues, the steps are positioned inside the channel similarly to the support elements, so they also reduce the hydraulic section of the channel. Moreover, since such steps are continuous and positioned along most of the channel itself, the hydraulic section and the collection capacity are greatly reduced.
  • the installation of the steps must consider the position of the drain hole as a constraint. Consequently, the known drainage systems have steps positioned at spacings such as to cause the bending of the cover bodies in operation.
  • the steps make it difficult to arrange the cover at the height of the floor surface, as they are not adapted to any thickness of the coating, which depending on the solution chosen has different dimensions.
  • documents US2011/162137A1 and US2018/038091A1 disclose linear drains having a cover, the height of the cover can be adjusted by means of threaded screws.
  • Document US2011/162137A1 is considered the closest prior art, and discloses bosses 29 protruding from the lateral edges of the drainage channel (and not from the bottom of the channel; see Fig.8 of this document). The height adjustment screws 33 engages the bosses 29.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a linear drain group of environments which envisage the evacuation of liquids which allows at least partially overcoming the drawbacks highlighted above.
  • an object of the present invention is to provide a linear group of environments which envisage the evacuation of liquids, such as a shower, which minimizes the reduction of the hydraulic capacity compared to the known equivalent drainage systems.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a drain group which eliminates, or at least limits, the risk of obstruction of the collection channel due to the blocking of residues transported by the drained fluids.
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide a linear drain group which allows to limit, or even eliminate, the bending of the cover body due to the loads in operation.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a drain group adapted to position the cover body at the floor level of the shower tray regardless of the coating thickness.
  • a collection channel of fluids to be drained comprises at least one cover body superimposed on said collection channel and shaped to achieve the aesthetic coverage thereof.
  • the cover body is also shaped to allow the flow of fluids to be drained towards the channel.
  • the drain group also comprises a plurality of support feet coupled to the cover body and arranged resting on the collection channel to support at least the weight of the cover body.
  • it also comprises at least one drain hole located on the bottom of the aforementioned collection channel and shaped to allow the flow of fluids to be drained.
  • the collection channel comprises a plurality of shaped reliefs emerging from the bottom of the collection channel so as to provide the support feet with a base in elevation with respect to the bottom of the channel.
  • such shaped reliefs are arranged in succession on at least two parallel orders and a plurality of areas of the bottom are interposed between the reliefs of each order so as to limit the overall dimensions of the reliefs on the same bottom of the collection channel.
  • the reliefs emerging from the bottom of the channel are arranged to avoid, or at least limit, the formation of deflections on the cover bodies due to the bending imprinted by the loads in operation.
  • the shaped reliefs being arranged only in the positions necessary to maintain the structural integrity of the cover body, therefore allow to minimize the reduction of the hydraulic capacity of the collection channel compared to the known equivalent drainage systems.
  • such shaped reliefs are shaped so as to eliminate, or at least limit, the risk of fluid flow obstruction due to the presence of residues transported by the fluids themselves.
  • such shaped reliefs are arranged in offset rows such as, for example, according to a quincunx arrangement.
  • the arrangement of the reliefs in offset rows allows to reduce the density thereof inside the bottom of the collection channel, so as to further minimize the reduction of the hydraulic capacity of the latter, without compromising the bending resistance of the cover body.
  • the support feet are coupled to the cover body by screw means so as to allow a continuous adjustment of the height of the cover body itself.
  • the adjustment by screw means is carried out continuously and therefore allows the cover to be arranged at the floor level of the shower tray regardless of the thickness of the visible coating.
  • a linear drain group 1 of fluids from an environment is described herein, such as a shower, having a collection channel 3 of fluids to be drained.
  • it comprises a cover body 5, a plurality of support feet 6 and a drain hole 7 located on the bottom 10 of the collection channel 3 and shaped to allow the flow of the fluids to be drained.
  • drain holes present should not be considered limiting for different embodiments of the invention.
  • the aforementioned bottom 10 of the collection channel 3 is inclined so as to have a slope such as to direct the flow of fluids towards the drain hole 7.
  • the inclination of the bottom 10 allows a rapid flow of the fluids to be drained so as to limit stagnation inside the channel 3.
  • the execution of the bottom of the collection channel is not to be understood in a limiting sense for different variants of the invention where, for example, it is a horizontal plane.
  • the cover body 5 is superimposed on the collection channel 3 and is shaped to obtain the aesthetic cover thereof, i.e., the visible part of the drain group 1. Furthermore, such a cover body 5 is shaped to allow the flow of fluids to be drained towards the channel 3.
  • the fluids to be drained flow to the sides of the cover body 5.
  • such an aspect should not be considered limiting for different embodiments of the invention, where, for example, the fluids to be drained flow towards the channel through openings present in the cover body itself.
  • the support feet 6 are coupled to the cover body 5 and are arranged on the collection channel 3 to support the weight of the cover body 5 itself and of further loads in operation.
  • the feet 6 are coupled to the cover body 5 by screw means 12 so as to allow a continuous adjustment of the height of the cover body 5 itself.
  • the possibility of continuously adjusting the height of the support feet 6 makes it possible to easily arrange the cover body 5 at the floor level of the shower tray, avoiding the presence of rises or cracks such that there is a risk of injury to users.
  • screw means 12 allows the cover body 5 to be positioned at the desired height regardless of the thickness thereof.
  • the collection channel 3 comprises a plurality of shaped reliefs 15 emerging from the bottom 10 of the collection channel 3 so as to provide the support feet 6 with a base in elevation with respect to the aforementioned bottom 10 of the channel 3.
  • Such shaped reliefs 15 are arranged in succession on at least two parallel orders and a plurality of areas 16 of the bottom 10 of the collection channel 3 are interposed between the shaped reliefs 15 of each order.
  • such reliefs 15 are shapes, made for example by moulding, of the collection channel 3.
  • the execution of the shaped reliefs is a feature which should not be understood in a limiting sense for different variants of the invention where, for example, they are additional elements stably coupled to the bottom of the collection channel.
  • the shaped reliefs 15 are arranged to eliminate, or at least limit, the bending of the cover body 5 following the application of loads in operation.
  • the reliefs 15 of the invention have limited overall dimensions and this still allows, advantageously, to minimize the reduction of the hydraulic capacity of the collection channel 3 compared to the known equivalent drainage systems.
  • the shaping of the reliefs 15 emerging from the bottom 10 of the channel 3 allows to eliminate, or at least limit, the risk of obstruction of the fluid flow due to the blocking of residues transported by the fluids themselves.
  • the presence of the areas 16 of the bottom 10 interposed with the shaped reliefs 15 still allows, advantageously, to minimize the overall space occupied by the reliefs 15 themselves in order to reduce the hydraulic capacity of the collection channel 3 as little as possible.
  • the shaped reliefs 15 are arranged in offset rows such as, for example, according to a quincunx arrangement.
  • the arrangement of the reliefs 15 , or part thereof, in offset rows allows to reduce the density thereof inside the bottom of the collection channel 3, in order to further minimize the reduction of hydraulic capacity of the latter, without compromising the bending resistance of the cover body 5.
  • the cover body 5 comprises through holes 23.
  • the through holes 23 allow to obtain a lower-weight cover body 5 and, given the use of a lower amount of material, to reduce the manufacturing costs of the drain group 1.
  • the cover body comprises a tray and/or an aesthetic coating typically, but not necessarily, tiles adapted to be arranged in the tray itself.
  • the tray and coating make it easier to install the drain group. Still advantageously, the tray allows to receive any coating resting thereon.
  • the embodiment of the cover body is a feature which should not be understood in a limiting sense for different variants of the invention where, for example, it is made in a single body.
  • the drain group of the invention allows to minimize the reduction of the hydraulic capacity of the collection channel.
  • drain group of the invention allows to avoid, or at least reduce, the bending of the cover body due to the loads in operation.
  • the discharge unit of the invention allows to adjust the height of the cover body, so as to arrange it at the level of the floor surface, regardless of the thickness of the body itself.
