Abstract
A temporary closure for a bathtub overflow port, comprising placing on the outer end of a drain pipe extending through the overflow port a solid cap threaded on the outer end and a cap with an outer face with an aperture thereon covered by a sealing diaphragm.
Description
- This application is a continuation of U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 10/247,247 filed Sep. 19, 2002.
- In new building construction, the plumbers prefer not to put the finished closure valves in the bottom of tubs, or the finished decorative plate over the overflow outlet at the end of the tub until the project is finished because these elements will be often damaged as the construction project is brought to a close. Further, the piping for both of the outlets need to be checked for leaks before the inspection process is completed. The test involves running water down the vent for the drain until it reaches a level above the tub and the tester then determines whether any of the piping leaks. Thus, when the testing operation arrives, a plug is put in the bottom drain of the tub and some sort of a seal plate is placed at the end of the tub on the overflow outlet.
- Existing overflow plates have a center opening therein. There are either two or four small screw holes in the plate adjacent the center opening wherein two of the holes are used to hold the plate to the plumbing fixture. In some cases there is a fitting so that the screw hole is located directly in the middle of the access hole. In that case, that hole is in the way when the testing procedure is implemented. In any event, the testing procedure usually involves stuffing a balloon through the large center opening into the pipe in the wall and the pipe is sealed when the balloon is inflated. Further, existing seal plates normally have to be removed when the decorative plate is put on. The decorative plate is typically held by two screws which either use the screw openings of the plate or two additional openings in the case that four holes are provided.
- Some efforts have been made to seal the overflow ports of bathtubs with a diaphragm, and then cut the diaphragm when the test is completed. (See U.S. Pat. No. 5,890,241). However, the system for including the diaphragm sometimes involves screws and tools, and is not always convenient to install or to remove after testing.
- It is therefore a principal object of this invention to provide a seal for a bathtub overflow port that is very easy to install for testing purposes, and is easily made operable for overflow purposes when the testing is finished.
- A further object of the invention is to provide a seal for a bathtub overflow port that is very economical to manufacture.
- These and other objects will be apparent to those skilled in the art.
- A temporary closure means for a bathtub overflow port, comprising placing on the outer end of a drain pipe extending through the overflow port a cap threaded on the outer end, with a sealing element on its outer surface.
- FIG. 1 is a partial perspective view of a conventional bathtub environment utilizing the invention of this application;
- FIG. 1A is an enlarged scale sectional view taken on
line 1A-1A of FIG. 1; - FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of the invention; and
- FIG. 3 is a sectional view of the assembled components of FIG. 2.
- With reference to FIGS. 1 and 1A, a
conventional bathroom structure 10 has a floor 12, and ahollow wall 14 with a wall opening 16 therein. A conventional bathtub (“tub”) 18 has abase 20 which rests upon floor 12.Sidewalls 22 extend upwardly frombase 20 as does anend wall 24. Abottom 26 dwells in spaced relation to the floor 12. - A
conventional drain port 28 is located inbottom 26. Aconventional overflow port 30 is located in the end wall 24 (FIG. 2). Avertical drain pipe 32 extends downwardly fromdrain port 28, andoverflow drain pipe 34 extends downwardly fromoverflow port 30. Ahorizontal pipe 36 connectspipes drain pipe 38 extends downwardly from the junction betweenpipes - A conventional
vertical vent pipe 40 is located within thehollow wall 14.Conventional water pipes 44 extend throughhollow wall 40 and are connected tovalve 46 which is interconnected toconventional control member 48 and faucet 50. - With reference to FIGS. 2 and 3, a
cap 52 has anouter face 54 which has a cylindrical body 60 which hasinterior threads 62 and which are adapted to mate with thethreads 31 of port 30 (FIG. 2). Thecap 52 also has anannular flange 64 that extends radially outwardly from the open end of the cylindrical body 60. Athin sealing membrane 66 is affixed to the face 54 (FIG. 2) ofcap 52 so as to seal the aperture in the cap when it is screwed into thethreads 31 so that the cap can be effectively sealed against theport 30. - In operation, the
cap 52 can either be removed from theport 30, or thethin sealing membrane 66 can be cut away so as to permit the attachment of the conventional overflow mechanisms. - It is therefore seen that the embodiments of this invention achieve at least all of the stated objectives.
