Abstract

A floor drain comprises a sectional element (1) which is inserted into the floor and a floor grating (2) which is substantially flush with the floor and covers the sectional element (1). The two side walls (3) of the sectional element that are perpendicular to the floor include a cross-sectional enlargement (5) in the manner of an undercut towards the sectional bottom (4). Preferably the cross-sectional enlargement (5) has a dovetailed profile. <IMAGE>

Description

Drain gutter for liquids, in particular water, for installation in floors of buildings, in particular in parking buildings.
This invention relates to a drain gutter for liquids, in particular for water, for installation in floors of buildings, in particular in parking buildings, consisting of a sectional element which is installed in the floor and of a floor grating which is substantially flush with the floor and covers the sectional element.
Drain gutters of this type are, inter alia, known to be used in parking buildings. Since automotive vehicles pass over said drain gutters, the latter must be capable of withstanding considerable loads in their installed state.
In particular, they must not loosen or become detached under permanent load. This might call for additional fastening measures.
It is the object of the invention to provide a drain gutter of the above-mentioned type which makes it possible to insert the drain gutter without additional fastening means into a floor which normally consists of cast concrete.
In accordance with the invention, this object is attained in that the two side walls of the sectional element that are perpendicular to the bottom surface have a crosssectional enlargement in the manner of an undercut towards the sectional bottom.
The advantage which is achieved with the present invention substantially consists in that even under great load the drain gutter can no longer be detached from the concrete floor after having been cast thereinto due to a crosssectional enlargement.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the crosssectional enlargement has a dovetailed shape. Furthermore, in the area of the sectional bottom the sectional element may have about the same width as in the area of the floor, and the cross-sectional enlargement may respectively be connected to an inwardly directed support shoulder which is in parallel with the floor and intended for supporting the floor grating. This has the additional advantage that the area below the support shoulder is filled with concrete, so that the forces acting on the floor grating need not be carried by the sectional element, but are directly passed into the floor.
Furthermore, in accordance with the invention the floor grating is detachably connected to a connection member which is loosely inserted into the sectional element in the area of the cross-sectional enlargement. The connection member may advantageously be formed by a strip provided with a screw thread. Hence, in order to fasten the floor grating within the sectional element, the connection member must just be inserted into the area of the cross-sectional enlargement and a screw which extends through the floor grating must then be screwed thereinto.
To facilitate casting of the sectional element in concrete floors, vertically adjustable support elements are provided on the sectional element on the outside. These support elements may expediently be formed by threaded members which are connected to the sectional element and by threaded pins or threaded screws that are screwed thereinto.
The invention shall now be explained in more detail with reference to an embodiment illustrated in the drawing, in which: FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the drain gutter of the invention; FIG. 2 is a front view of the subject matter shown in FIG. 1.
The drain gutter illustrated in the drawing is intended for liquids, especially water, and is installed in floors of buildings, in particular in parking buildings. To be more specific, the drain gutter consists of a sectional element 1 which is installed in the floor and of a floor grating 2 which is substantially flush with the floor and covers the sectional element 1.
The two side walls 3 of the sectional element 1 that are perpendicular to the floor have a cross-sectional enlargement 5 in the manner of an undercut towards the sectional bottom 4. As becomes especially apparent from FIG. 2, the cross-sectional enlargement 5 has a dovetailed shape.
In the area of the sectional bottom 4 the sectional element 1 has about the same width as in the area of the floor.
Hence, the cross-sectional enlargement 5 is respectively followed by an inwardly directed support shoulder 6 which is in parallel with the floor. Said support shoulder 6 simultaneously acts as a support for the floor grating 2.
Since concrete also flows into the area below the support shoulder 6 when the concrete pavement is being cast, the forces transmitted from the floor grating 2 to the sectional element 1 are directly intercepted by the concrete pavement. The floor grating 2 is firmly connected to the sectional element, but can be removed without difficulty, e.g., for cleaning purposes. To this end, a connection member 7 which is detachably connected to the floor grating 2 is inserted in the sectional element 1 in the area of the cross-sectional enlargement 5. This connection member 7 consists of a strip which is provided with a screw thread. A screw 8 which extends through the floor grating 2 can be screwed into said screw thread.
To be able to align the sectional element 1 during pouring of the pavement in such a manner that the upper edge 9 is flush with the floor, vertically adjustable support elements 10 are provided on the sectional element 1 on the outside. In an especially simple embodiment, said support elements 10 consist of threaded portions 11 connected to the sectional element 1, e.g., in the form of hexagon nuts which have screwed there into threaded screws 12 or threaded pins, optionally provided with a support plate 13.
In FIG. 1, the sectional element 1 is provided at its one front with a flanged plate 14 to which another sectional element 1 can be connected via optionally interposed sealants.
