DESCRIPTION

Drainage with storage room

The invention relates to a drain according to the preamble of claim 1. A drain is known as such from DE 202006014745U.

Another drain is known, for example, from WO 2009 / 091245. This publication describes an elongated shower drain. This shower drain has a channel-shaped tray in which a grid with a U-shaped cross section is placed. According to this publication, an adjustment frame is also placed in the lower tray in order to bring the grid to the Same height as the surrounding tile floor in a simple way.

The tendency in the field of drainage is that the drainage should be as visible as possible. For this purpose the width of the grid is reduced. The drawback of this is that by reducing the width of the grid, the width of the lower tray is also reduced simultaneously. The storage volume of the lower tray, therefore, decreases, whereby the amount of water to be drained per unit time decreases. The result may be that a layer of water remains in the soil, which can spread over the soil surface in an undesired direction.

Another known elongated drain has, in the usual grid position, a tray-shaped support on which a tile can be placed, for example. Then, water can flow into the lower tray through an opening between this tile and the surrounding floor. In this tile drain, an opening is usually formed on both sides of the tray-shaped support with tile. In addition, the surrounding floor tile pattern is interrupted by the tile in the support, whereby a tile drain known as such is even visible as well. The construction, in particular, of the tile support, is also unfavorable from the point of view of manufacturing.

GB 2210392 shows a drain, in which the drain consists of a lower part and an upper part. The upper part has a threaded part in which a part can be screwed with a grid. The grid can therefore be adjusted in height. In addition, the upper part is slidable in the lower part, whereby the grid can also be adjusted in the horizontal plane.

The drawback of the embodiment shown is, however, that at least both lower and upper parts are placed on the floor before a final layer, such as tiles, can be laid. This is because without placing the top of the drain it is not possible to obtain a flat substrate in order to provide a final layer, such as a tile layer.

Now, it is an object of the invention to provide a drain, in which the aforementioned drawbacks are mitigated, or even eliminated.

This objective is achieved with a drain according to claim 1.

In a drain according to the invention, the tubular housing is integrated in the ground. The upper layer of the surrounding floor, such as, for example, a tiled floor, is placed on the tubular housing to the elongated opening. By this, only an elongated opening is visible. This elongated opening may be a narrow opening, since sufficient drainage capacity is present in the tubular housing directly below the elongated opening.

By using a tubular housing, a flat top surface is obtained, thanks to which the tile layer can be easily placed.

The drain according to the invention preferably comprises a vertical edge disposed along the periphery of the elongate opening in the lower surface. The tile floor here is placed against the vertical edge disposed along the periphery of the elongated opening in the lower surface. The vertical edge makes possible a delimitation and an impeccable termination. The vertical edge also ensures a good seal because moisture can no longer pass under the tiles.

It is possible with the tubular housing to make a very flat drain. The tubular housing can be arranged here in only a part of the covering floor, so it is not necessary to deteriorate the floor system that lies below, for example, by making a hole in the floor system. A typical height of the tubular housing could be 1 to 2 centimeters.

The tubular housing can be arranged directly below, for example, a tiled floor, since the floor load is low in sanitary applications.

A sealing membrane, which ensures a tight transition between the drain and the surrounding soil, can be easily added to the horizontal shoulder.

Because the separate sheet portion is slidably disposed on the horizontal shoulder, the position of the vertical edge around the elongated opening can be easily adapted to the surrounding floor. Therefore, it is possible to correct a biased placement of the tubular housing by rotating the upper surface with respect to the shoulder. It is also possible, by means of a regulation, to have the flow inlet opening directly connected to an entire floor tile.

In another embodiment of the drain not according to the invention, the upper edge of the peripheral wall comprises a horizontal projection directed inward, whose horizontal projection forms, together with a separate sheet part, the upper wall of the housing.

Separators are preferably arranged on the lower side of the separated sheet part in order to support the separated sheet part at a certain distance from the lower surface and against the horizontal shoulder.

This embodiment provides a drain in which the flow inlet opening is slidable while the tubular housing is kept compact.

In a very preferred embodiment of the drain according to the invention, an inspection opening that can be closed on the upper surface is arranged on the discharge opening. This inspection opening preferably lies flush with the upper side of the vertical edge. The inspection opening can be covered here with an aesthetically designed lid.

The width of the elongate opening in the upper surface is preferably less than 50%, and even more preferably, less than 25%, of the width of the tubular housing.

In yet another embodiment of the drain not according to the invention, the vertical edge is formed by a separate sheet portion that is slidably disposed in the elongated opening. The width of the elongated flow inlet opening can be regulated using this separate sheet part.

In yet another embodiment of the drain according to the invention, the upper surface is staggered, such that the wall tiles can, for example, be placed on the highest part. A drain as such is thus particularly suitable for its arrangement against a wall.

These and other features of the invention are explained further, with reference to the attached drawings.

Figure 6 shows a cross-sectional view of a fifth embodiment not according to the invention.

Figure 7 shows a cross-sectional view of a sixth embodiment not according to the invention.

Figure 8 shows a cross-sectional view of a seventh embodiment not according to the invention.

Figure 1 shows a first embodiment of a drain 1 not according to the invention. This drain 1 has a tubular housing constructed from an extruded central part 2 and two end parts 3, 4 that close the extruded central part 2 to both sides. On the upper side, the extruded central part has two vertical edges 5, 6 that delimit the elongated flow inlet opening 7 (see Figure 2).

The central part 2 has a lower surface 8, a peripheral edge 9 and an upper surface 10 on which the elongated flow inlet opening 7 is arranged. In addition, disposed on the lower surface 8 there is a discharge opening 11 to which a siphon 12 is connected.

Figure 2 shows the drain 1 in cross section. This Figure 2 shows here how the drainage is arranged on a concrete floor 13. The floor tiles 14 are arranged here on cement floor 13. The floor tiles 14 are located here just up to the vertical edges 5, 6, so which only the flow inlet opening 7 is visible.

In order to maintain, however, access to the siphon 12, an inspection opening 15 is arranged on an upper surface 10. A plug 16 is disposed in this inspection opening 15. After removing the plug 16, it is possible to achieve easy access to the discharge opening 11 through the inspection opening 15.

The water that falls on the tile floor 14 during use will flow through the elongated flow inlet opening 7 towards the tubular casing 2. Since the volume of the tubular casing 2 is large, water can flow without obstruction towards the discharge opening 11 and, there, being drained through the siphon 12.

Figure 3 shows a cross-sectional view of a second embodiment 20 of a drain according to the invention. This drain 20 is preferably made of laminated material.

The lower drain pan 20 has a lower surface 21 and a peripheral wall 22. Arranged on the upper side of the peripheral wall 22 there is a horizontal shoulder comprising a part bent outwardly 23 and a subsequent part bent inwardly 24, so such that the horizontal projection 23, 24 has a U-shaped cross section.

The upper wall 25 of the drain 20 is a separate part that projects towards the horizontal U-shaped shoulder 23, 24. Therefore, it is possible to slide the upper wall alternately.

An elongated flow inlet opening 26 is disposed in the upper wall 25. An upward edge 27 is disposed along this flow inlet 26. Because the upper wall 25 can slide alternately, it can be regulated from this mode the distance between the vertical edge 27 and the surrounding tile floor that may be placed on the upper wall 25.

A sealing membrane 28 can also be arranged on the horizontal shoulder 23, 24. The edge of the sealing membrane 28 is provided with a double edge, within which the horizontal shoulder can be received in order to make, from This way, a good seal.

Figure 4 shows a third embodiment of a drain 40 not according to the invention. This drain 40 is also preferably manufactured from laminated material. The drain 40 consists here of two parts, in which the lower part comprises a lower wall 41, a peripheral wall 42 and a horizontal projection directed inwards

43 disposed on the upper side of the peripheral wall 42.

The upper part of the drain 40 consists of a wall part 44 held at a certain distance from the lower wall 41 by means of spacers 45. An elongated flow inlet opening 46 is further arranged in the wall part 44. In addition, also a vertical edge 47 is arranged around this elongated flow inlet opening 46.

Because the wall part 44 is narrower than the width of the bottom part 41, 42, 43, the wall part

44 can alternatively slide in such a way that the flow inlet opening 46 can be adjusted to a floor, such as a tiled floor, disposed on the drain 40.

The wall tiles can be placed on the shoulder 43. A vertical edge 47 extends here against the wall tiles. So, here the drain can be sealed with respect to the wall tiles. If, however, moisture enters between the wall tiles and the upward edge 47, this humidity will however pass to the bottom of the drain 40. The wall part 44 can also be provided, optionally, with a perforation. for better drainage of a liquid that leaks as such.

The perforations described above can also be applied in the other embodiments.

Figure 5 shows a fourth embodiment of a drain 50 not according to the invention. The cross section shown passes over the outlet tube 51. The drain 50 has a lower surface 52 with a peripheral wall 53. The upper surface 54, 55, 56 is a combination of the embodiments shown above. On one side an inwardly folded shoulder 53 is formed which acts in cooperation with the upper surface 54, while on the other side there is provided an inwardly folded shoulder that acts in cooperation with a U-shaped folded shoulder 56.

The upper surface 54, 55, 56 also has a flow inlet opening 57 that is bordered by the vertical edge 58.

Furthermore, disposed on a lower surface 52 is a discharge opening 59 to which a siphon constructed from a sloping wall 60 and a vertical wall 61 is connected. These two walls 60, 61 provide the necessary trap for odors.

Figure 6 shows a fifth embodiment of a drain 70 not according to the invention. The drain 70 has a bottom surface 71 with a vertical edge 72 and an inwardly directed boss 73. Together with the wall portion 74, the boss 73 forms the upper wall of a tubular housing. The wall portions 74 are supported at a certain distance from the bottom surface 71 by means of spacers 75.

An adjustment frame 77, as is known from, for example, WO 2009/091245, is further arranged in the flow inlet opening 76, which is formed between the wall portions 74.

Because the wall portions 74 can slide in a horizontal direction with respect to the protrusions 73, and the adjustment frame 77 can also be moved in a vertical direction, the upper edge of the adjustment frame 77 can be fully adapted from it. mode, to a surrounding floor, such as, for example, a tiled floor.

Figure 7 shows a sixth embodiment of a drain 80 not according to the invention. This drain 80 has a bottom surface 81, a vertical peripheral wall 82 and an inwardly directed shoulder 83 on the upper side of the peripheral wall 82.

Together with the sheet portions 84, 85 this protrusion 83 forms the upper surface of a tubular housing. The sheet portions 84, 85 delimit the elongated flow inlet opening 86.

A tile floor 87 is disposed in the upper part of the tubular casing, whereby only the elongated flow inlet opening 86 is visible. The tubular casing is arranged in the upper part of a cover floor 88 disposed on the floor system 89.

In addition, a siphon 90 connected to an outlet pipe 91 is also arranged on the lower side of a lower surface 81. Only this siphon 90 and the outlet pipe 91 are partially embedded in the floor system 89.

Figure 8 shows a seventh embodiment of a drain 100 not according to the invention. This drain 100 is particularly suitable for placement against a wall. To this end, the drain 100 is provided with a bottom surface 101 and a peripheral wall 102, 103. The part 102 of the peripheral wall that extends against a wall is higher than the other part 103 of the peripheral wall.

A horizontal projection 104 is arranged on the upper part 102. On this projection a sealing membrane 105 and a termination strip 106 are arranged. This termination strip 106 can slide in and out on the strip 104, whereby various adjustments of the thickness of the wall tiles 107 can be made. The wall tiles 107 are arranged on the sealing membrane 105 and the horizontal shoulder 104.

A horizontal projection 108 which, together with a separate sheet part 109, forms the upper surface of a tubular housing, is similarly disposed on the lower part 103 of the peripheral wall. The separated sheet portion 109 may alternatively slide so that the elongated flow inlet opening 110 can be adjusted in width and, furthermore, can be adapted to the floor tiles 111.

The separated sheet portion 109 has a vertical edge that protects the space 112 in the corner of the floor tile. The sealing component provided here is thus protected against cleaning agents and soap residues by means of the vertical edge.
