ES2605614B2 - FLAT SURFACE FOR SHOWER AND SHOWER TRAYS WITH DRAINING THROUGH CHANNELS - Google Patents

Abstract

Flat surface for sinks and shower trays with drains by means of channels that in one piece have a flat top surface (1) in which there are interconnected radial and perimeter channels (2) that pour the water into a drain (3) located at the bottom.

Description

FLAT SURFACE FOR SHOWER AND SHOWER TRAYS WITH DRAINING THROUGH CHANNELS

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

It is a flat surface made from a single volume with a series of perforated channels on the surface that are connected to each other where the lower level 10 of these channels coincides with the connection to the drain. There is a perimeter channel connected at least at one point to the other channels.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

15 So far, different surfaces or plates for shower or washbasins whose upper part is flat that can incorporate channels for water flow and drains located at different points are reported in the current state of the art. More specifically, the characteristics of the following documents are detailed:

20 Document GB2402059A (WEBB AK) discloses a sanitary appliance, in this case a shower tray, especially designed for people with some kind of physical disability even for people who move in a wheelchair. It is a plate with a flat top surface that has a series of interior channels and a peripheral channel, all connected to each other. Water that hits the flat top surface

25 runs through the channels to the drain.

Document DE19847204C1 (OBERMILLACHER R) shows a sanitary appliance, a shower tray with a flat top surface. It has interior channels and a perimeter channel. The channels derive the water to a concave bottom tray and from here

30 to the drain. It has a flat upper surface, drains through inner and peripheral channels, drains into a lower tray, the tray adopts a concave shape.

Document DE10146874C1 (KLEIN J) describes a sanitary apparatus. In this case, a sink. It has a flat upper surface On the flat surface there is a circular channel through which the liquid is drained that is directed towards a lower chamber as a tray. This chamber drains through two drain pipes. This sanitary appliance is designed as a sink.

Document DE10235367C1 (MARTINEZ MS) describes a washbasin with a flat top surface on which water is poured. It has a perimeter groove for the evacuation of the liquid that connects with a lower chamber, flat tray type, and which in turn drifts the water to a central drain pipe.

Document DE9017654U1 (ARTEFAAKT INDUSTRIEDESIGN) describes a shower element with perimeter channel that incorporates a drain outlet. The canal adopts a slope to favor the evacuation of water. It has no interior channels.

Document ES2284597T3 (BELDORE L TD) describes a shower tray. It has a flat top surface with a perimeter channel connected to a drain.

Document ES2119556T3 (GRAELLS PANE) describes a shower tray with a flat top surface. It has a channel on one side of the shower tray through which water flows to a drain pipe in one of the corners.

The document DE8806743U1 (ROOS). Describe a shower tray. In this case the flat surface at ground level is made of plastic or metal, being a non-slip perforated surface. Water reaches a lower tray through the perforations and exits through a lower drain.

The document DE29819329U1 (KRAJEWSKI). Describe a shower tray for people with movement difficulties. The shower tray is located at ground level to favor the entrance to the area. It has a flat surface at ground level and a perimeter water collection channel. Water flows to a tray and from it to the drain.

None of them have the characteristics that are claimed in the present invention as they are not manufactured in one piece and in such a way that the channels themselves act as a grid to prevent any large object from leaking into the drain.

It may cause clogging in the drain.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Flat surface for sinks and shower trays with drains through channels consisting basically of a single volume of stone, concrete or any other construction material that flat on its top and in which they have made channels that connect radially with a drain at the bottom.

These channels can be made by cutting with a radial or by any other cutting technique such as laser, water jet, etc. and have a thickness small enough for water to flow but not to allow objects to sneak into the drain. This characteristic of the thickness of the channels allows

15 that act as the grilles that are placed on the sinks of sinks, bathtubs or showers. The channels also have a greater depth the closer they are to the drain to facilitate the exit of the water.

In the lower part there is a drain made in the volume to which the 20 upper channels pour.

All these parts of the invention are carried out in one piece, which avoids having different parts to interconnect or join and additionally leading to a substantial reduction in production costs.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

To complement the description that is being made, and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, accompanying specification 30 is attached hereto as an integral part thereof, figures representing the following:

Figure 1 shows a top view showing the block with the channels that pour into the drain.

Figure 2 shows a view of a section through the central point of the drain and longitudinal to a channel that flows into this drain.

Figure 3 shows a view of a section through a different point of the drain to the channel.

Figure 4 shows a top view of the flat surface in which the channels are rotated 450 with respect to the sides of the flat surface and intersect with each other at the vertices and sides. Figure 5 shows a top view of the flat surface in which the bottom drain is not centered with respect to the perimeter channels but on one side but with the radial channels pouring water into it. PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

twenty

In view of figures 1 to 5, the flat surface for sinks and shower trays with drains through channels consists of a block with a flat surface (1) that in its upper part has channels (2) that pour from radially forms the water towards a drain (3) practiced in its lower part. The channels (2) cross the entire volume in the area of the lower part where the drain (3) is located to pour the water into it.

25 JO

The channels (2) that pour into the drain (3) are interconnected with the other perimeter channels and, as seen in Figure 4 of another preferred embodiment, intersect at the sides and at the vertices. In this way the realization of them is substantially facilitated when they are made by a radial when making the cuts in the block of stone or concrete. Another preferred embodiment is that shown in Figure 5 in which the drain (3) of the lower part is located on one side, under the area of the perimeter channels, with the radial channels (2) pouring the water towards East.

Once the nature of the present invention has been sufficiently described, as well as a

In order to put it into practice, it only remains to be added that said invention may undergo certain variations in form and materials, as long as said alterations do not substantially vary the characteristics set forth below.

Claims (1)

1.-Flat surface for sinks and shower trays with drain through channels made in a single volume and with the radial channels (2) practiced on the part 5 of the flat surface (1) that intersect with the perimeter channels also in the perimeter part and in the vertices and with a thickness between 0.2 and 1 cm. characterized in that the radial or perimeter channels (2) cross the entire volume in the area where the drain (3) of the lower part is located to pour the water into it.
