Description
- This application claims benefit to U.S. Patent Application No. 62/404,867 filed on Oct. 6, 2016.
- Not applicable.
- Not applicable.
- Typical construction of a shower-type drain assembly implements a metal sieve or “screen” that allows a human to walk on the floor while allowing prescribed amounts to water to drain through the screen, into the barrel, and orderly exit the assembly into the plumbing system. Generally, by default, manufacturers have adopted the use of stainless metal plates with perforations to make it work. In the typical implementation, manufacturers have used a metal stock in the range of 0.040″ to 0.070″ in thickness. Required plumbing association and codes standards prescribe a certain level of durability required of the screen, typically measured by supporting the outer edges of the screen and exerting pressure on the central area, then noting (a. pressure required to cause an allowed measurement of deflection of the screen.
- Here's the problem: polymers and composites typically do not demonstrate the deflection strengths required to accomplish successful and required testing. Current manufacturing processes use several steps to produce the “chrome screens” (which are actually stainless steels): stamping, edge cleaning (probably vibratory polishing), finish polishing, and plastic-film covering (to protect surface). All such methods involving the requirement of stainless steels involving the typical chemistry requirements of stainless manufacturing.
- Production of a composite/polymer screen involves only one step and is much more environmentally safe and energy efficient. The goal is to solidify the filing with simple granted claims as follows: About anyone wishing to make a polymer/polymerized screen will be trapped by the current mechanical standards of the cross section of the existing metal screens.
- In order to get by required certification testing, a simple plastic disc of the best materials will not withstand the flexural testing of 75 psi with 0.125″ allowed deflection. Radial ribs (beams) will typically not solve the problem as the beams are not radially intersected and will independently flex without the support of the angularly-adjoining beams. In one embodiment, circular beam sections (“rounded beam section” in this disclosure), or “spider-webs”, the stresses into a net configuration where pressure exerted almost anywhere is transmitted through the web.
- How, turning to a one or more beams (herein disclosed as a
rounded beam section 210 and a one or more radial beam sections, infra), or webs of beams, should be positioned as to allow (a. the material (such as water) to flow at the general center of the webs voids (or apertures) and (b. where the beam is generally positioned centrally between the holes. “running a beam across a hole, decreases the cross-section thus weakening the area. - In order to duplicate what has been disclosed here, one would almost have to either (a. mold in a superlative fiber (boron, kevlar) or (b. overmold the screen over a metal framework—none of which are economically feasible.
- None of the known inventions and patents, taken either singularly or in combination, is seen to describe the instant disclosure as claimed.
- A drain screen for capturing debris in a fluid in a drain. Said drain screen comprising a faceplate, a center axis, and a one or more beams. Said faceplate comprising a one or more aperture-catch arrangements, said center axis, an edge, a top surface, and a bottom surface. Said drain screen comprises a radially outward direction and a radially inward direction. Said drain screen configured to allow a fluid to move over said faceplate from said radially outward direction toward said radially inward direction. Said radially inward direction is defined as a direction across said faceplate toward said center axis. Said one or more aperture-catch arrangements comprise a one or more apertures and a plurality of raised portions. Said plurality of raised portions are arranged said radially outward direction of said one or more apertures. Said one or more aperture-catch arrangements are configured to capture debris in a fluid by catching a portion of a debris on said plurality of raised portions and allowing a portion of said fluid to flow through said one or more apertures.
