Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a trap.
  • the invention relates to a trap for carrying away waste water and stopping smells and vermin.
  • the trap is intended for assembly under a shower tray or wash basin, although the invention is not limited to this.
  • the traps with flexible flap are handier because said traps are easily accessible, for example for cleaning or removing dirt, such as hair or other elements that can obstruct the flow through the trap or drainpipe.
  • one edge of the flexible flap is mounted to the housing of the trap or can be slid into a slit in the housing provided for this purpose.
  • flaps fixedly connected to the housing are difficult to access and thus also difficult to clean.
  • flaps that can be slid into a slit of the housing are disadvantageous flaps that can be slid into a slit of the housing.
  • inserting said flaps requires the necessary dexterity and care.
  • flaps can easily get doubled up or end up sideways during assembly, such that said flaps no longer fulfil their function well.
  • the purpose of the present invention is to provide a solution for the aforementioned and other disadvantages.
  • the invention relates to a trap with removable and flexible non-return valve, intended for carrying away waste water and preventing unpleasant smells and vermin coming from a drain or sewer, comprising a housing with an inlet opening and an outlet opening provided in walls of the housing, whereby the flexible non-return valve is mounted to or in a panel with a passage for carrying away waste water, whereby the passage is covered by the flexible non-return valve and whereby the trap is provided with fasteners for sliding the panel into or against the housing of the trap, whereby a tube piece extends perpendicularly to the panel for coupling with a drainpipe.
  • the passage in the panel is provided with a grill in order to stop the transit of larger elements or hair in the waste water to the drainpipe and thus prevent blockage of the drainpipe, however, said grill is not necessary for the invention.
  • the flexible non-return valve is executed as a silicone flap, an edge of which is suspended to the panel, such that the flap comes to hang vertically under the influence of gravity and completely seals the passage in the panel when no waste water is flowing through.
  • the passage in the panel and the flexible flap is circular.
  • the diameter of the flap is at least as great as, or greater than, the diameter of the passage, such that the flexible flap completely seals the passage when no waste water is flowing through the trap.
  • the additional advantage is that the flap can only let water through in one direction and will block water in the other direction. In case of a flood or backflow from water of the sewer to the trap, the flexible flap will stop said water.
  • the flap is detachable from the panel, such that the flap can be replaced in a simple manner and the panel can be reused.
  • the flexible flap is provided with a pin, which extends approximately perpendicularly to the plane formed by the flexible flap, whereby the pin can be applied in a hole in the panel provided for this purpose.
  • the diameter of the pin and the diameter of the hole are aligned such that after assembly the pin is clamped in the hole for mounting the flexible flap to the panel.
  • the flexible flap can be mounted to, or removed from, the panel quickly and easily, without tools.
  • the smallest included angle between the plane formed by the panel and the axis of the outlet opening is located between 45° and 90°, and ideally is located between 70° and 90°.
  • the trap shown in figure 1 trap comprises a housing 2 for collecting and carrying away waste water and is provided with an inlet opening 3 and an outlet opening 4 provided in walls of the housing 2.
  • the inlet opening 3 is situated in the upper wall 5 of the housing 2 and is executed, in this case, in an oblong and narrow way.
  • the upper wall 5 of the trap 1 is intended for mounting under a shower channel, shower tray or wash basin for example.
  • the outlet opening 4 is situated in a sidewall 6 of the housing 2.
  • the trap 1 is further provided with a flexible non-return valve 7 which is mounted in a panel 8 with a passage 9 for carrying away the waste water. This is more visible in the detail shown in figure 2 .
  • the passage 9 in the panel 8 is covered by the flexible non-return valve 7, as shown in figures 3 to 5 .
  • the trap 1 is provided with fasteners 10 for detachably mounting the panel 8 against or on the housing 2.
  • a tube piece 12 extends through the outlet opening 4, said tube piece 12 being removable from the trap 1 in this embodiment. This is clearly visible on the disassembled trap 1, as shown in figure 4 .
  • Said tube piece 12 is intended for coupling with a drainpipe 13.
  • the panel 8 and the tube piece 12 are manufactured as two separate components.
  • the tube piece 12 is hereby provided with a flange 15 with a flange passage on which the aforementioned fasteners 10 are provided for mounting the panel 8 against the flange 15.
  • the fasteners 10 are executed as two hooks 11 facing each other. Two side edges of the panel 8 can be slid between said hooks 11 after which the hooks 11 fixedly clamp the panel 8 against the flange 15.
  • the flange passage will be approximately concentric with the passage 9 in the panel 8.
  • the tube piece 12 after assembly in the trap 1, the tube piece 12 extends through the outlet opening 4, in such a way that the flange 15 fits closely against the inner wall of the housing 2 as shown in figure 1 .
  • the hooks 11 are provided on a flange wall that is facing away from the tube piece 12.
  • said hooks 11 extend over the complete height of the panel 8 such that the complete length of the two aforementioned side edges of the panel 8 is clamped by the hooks 11.
  • the tube piece 12 is provided with exterior screw thread 16 for connecting a drainpipe 13 with corresponding internal thread.
  • the tube piece 12 is provided with internal thread and the drainpipe 13 with corresponding exterior screw thread.
  • the tube piece 12 may possess a smoothly finished outer sheathing such that the tube piece 12 can also be coupled to the drainpipe 13 by means of gluing or the drainpipe 13 may be welded to the tube piece 12 or directly to the outlet opening 4. In this way a very slim trap 1 can be constructed.
  • the outer contour of the tube piece 12 is also provided with a first sealing ring 17 which is applied such that said first sealing ring 17, after assembly, is enclosed between the inner wall of the housing 2 and the flange 15.
  • a second sealing ring 18 is applied in this shown variant, such that said second sealing ring 18, after assembly, is enclosed between the outer wall of the housing 2 and the drainpipe 13.
  • the panel 8 and the flexible non-return valve 7 are shown separately in figures 5 and 6 .
  • This embodiment shows that the panel 8, on the side facing the outlet opening 4 after assembly, is provided with a peripheral groove 19 which is intended for applying a third sealing ring 20. After assembly of the panel 8 in the trap 1, said third sealing ring 20 is enclosed between the panel 8 and the flange wall facing away from the tube piece 12.
  • the passage 9 in the panel 8 is provided with a grill 21 in order to stop the transit of greater elements, such as hair, little stones and the like, in the waste water to the drainpipe 13 to prevent a blockage of the drainpipe 13.
  • the flexible non-return valve 7 is executed as a flexible silicone flap 7, an edge of which is suspended to the panel 8, such that the flap 7 completely seals the passage 9 in the panel 8 under the influence of gravity.
  • the passage 9 in the panel 8 and the flap 7 are executed in a circular way whereby the diameter of the flap 7 is as great as, or a fraction greater, for example 1 to 5 millimetres, than the diameter of the passage 9 such that the flap 7 completely seals the passage 9.
  • the flexible flap 7 is detachable from the panel 8, such that the flap 7 can be replaced and the panel 8 can be reused.
  • the flexible flap 7 is provided with a pin 22, which extends approximately perpendicularly to the plane formed by the flexible flap 7. Said pin 22 is applied in a hole 23 in the panel 8 provided to this end whereby the diameter of the pin 22 and the diameter of the hole 23 are aligned such that after assembly the pin 22 is clamped in the hole 23, such that the flexible flap 7 is mounted or suspended to the panel 8.
  • the panel 8 is provided with a lip 24 along one of its edges, such that the panel 8 can only be slid into the facing hooks 11 in one possible way.
  • the lip 24 connects to the flange 15, such that the panel 8 cannot be slid too deeply such that the passage 9 of the panel 8 would not be aligned with the outlet opening 4.
  • the smallest included angle, between the plane formed by the panel 8 and the axis of the outlet opening 4, is equal to 90°. However, it is not excluded that said angle is between 45° and 90°.
  • the panel 8 is directly mounted on one end 14 of the tube piece 12.
  • the tube piece 12 and the panel 8 are made as one piece in this variant.
  • the pin 22 of the flap 7 is mounted to a side of the panel 8 facing away from the tube piece 12.
  • the fasteners 10 are applied on the housing 2 and on the panel 8 and in this case comprise two hooks 11 facing each other on the level of the lower edge of the housing 2 and two openings 25 on the level of the upper edge of the housing 2.
  • the panel 8 is provided with two projections 26 that can be fittingly inserted in the openings 25.
  • the panel 8 can be slid between the hooks 11 until the projections 26 are wholly or partly applied in the openings 25.
  • the side of the panel 8 facing away from the tube piece 12 fits closely against the outer wall of the housing through the agency of a first sealing ring.
  • the outer wall of the housing 2 and/or the panel 8 can also be provided with a peripheral groove 19 for applying the first sealing ring 17 between the housing 2 of the trap 1 and the panel 8.
  • a second sealing ring 18 can be applied over the outer contour of the tube piece 12 or alternatively on the end of the drainpipe 13.
  • the number of hooks 11, openings 25 and projections 26 is not necessarily equal to two, but is unlimited in practice.
  • the flap 7 is mounted to the panel 8.
  • the necessary sealing rings 17, 18 and if relevant sealing ring 20 are applied and the panel 8 is subsequently slid into the trap 1.
  • the drainpipe 13 is connected to the tube piece 12.
  • the trap 1 is now ready for use and waste water to be carried away will flow into the housing 2 of the trap 1 via the inlet opening 3.
  • the housing 2 will partially fill up with waste water and the prevalent water pressure will push the flexible flap 7 away in the direction of the drainpipe 15.
  • the waste water can now flow from the inlet opening 3 toward the outlet opening 4 and the drainpipe 15.
  • the flexible flap 7 will hereby come to lie on the flowing water surface as a blanket.
  • the trap 1 can come in many possible forms.
  • the form of the trap 1 or the housing 2 is not limited to the aforementioned examples.
