  • One aim of the present invention is to provide a bottom receiver unit for a water flowing product like the ones disclosed above, which bottom receiver unit exhibits several advantages, such as being easy to clean and providing a suitable complement for other separation units, e.g. filters and drains, for instance a floor drain in a shower, in this type of products.
  • other separation units e.g. filters and drains, for instance a floor drain in a shower, in this type of products.
  • a bottom receiver unit for a water flowing product said bottom unit comprising an upper plate, a slit positioned beneath the upper plate and a rough filter unit positioned over the slit, said rough filter unit intended to prevent items from reaching a drain but where water passes through the rough filter unit easily.
  • the expression “rough filter” refers to the ability of preventing larger items, such as hair or other items easily visible for a human, from passing, while water easily is passed through the rough filter.
  • a "water flowing product” may be a bathroom product like a shower or sink or e.g. a sink used in a kitchen.
  • hybrid devices allowing purification and either recycling of water or discarding of water depending on the quality of water in the form of showers or sinks are also intended for a bottom receiver unit according to the present invention.
  • the bottom receiver unit according to the present invention is a suitable unit in such hybrid devices.
  • Hybrid devices as disclosed above comprise separation units, e.g. filters, and the rough filter unit comprised in the bottom receiver unit according to the present invention is suitable to combine which such separation units.
  • the filter or filters of the hybrid device may be optimised to separate on e.g. a smaller and tighter range of particle size. This is possible as the filtration of the hybrid device in such a case is divided into different steps where the bottom receiver unit according to the present invention provides for one part of this filtration.
  • a slit according to the present invention is provided beneath the upper plate and is a slit with a vertical geometrical cross section.
  • the upper plate on the other hand has of course a horizontal extension.
  • the slit according to the present invention extends along one or more edges of the upper plate, such as provided at multiple edges of the upper plate, e.g.
  • Fig. 1 and 2 show cross sectional views of a bottom receiver unit according to one embodiment of the present invention.
  • FIG. 3 and 4 show another possible embodiment according to the present invention. Specific embodiments of the invention
  • the slit is provided at multiple edges of the upper plate. From inter alia the figures such a design is shown.
  • the upper plate is four-sided and the slit is provided on all of the sides.
  • One advantage with such a design according to the present invention is the provision of a comparatively large slit area and hence filtration area of the rough filter unit. A large filtration area is also possible to obtain if e.g. the upper plate is circular and the slit still is provided around the entire upper plate.
  • Such a design is of course also totally possible according to the present invention.
  • slit may be provided as multiple slit portions. This could imply that e.g. support portions may be arranged between these slit portions. This may inter alia be of interest to uphold the upper plate in a secure way on the support portions and over the slit portions.
  • This design may both have a continuous geometry and not.
  • the design with multiple slit portions may also be provided when these multiple slit portions are arranged on one side or several sides of the upper plate, or in the case of a circular upper plate, one only a larger side part of the upper plate or around the entire upper plate.
  • the arranged rough filter unit is easy to clean. This may also be increased by providing a continuous geometry for the slit as mentioned above.
  • the present invention provides a faster and easier way to clean when being compared to a regular method in which a floor drain sieve has to be removed, gloves have to be used and hair etc. has to be removed from the drain.
  • cleaning a floor drain of a shower or a sink is normally made when the flow through the floor drain is decreased, e.g. when there is a risk of an overflow.
  • the present invention provides an advantage over solutions existing today. As hair and items easily may be removed before reaching the floor drain, then the risk of a stop or a plug in the floor drain is decreased and hence the need of cleaning the floor drain is minimized according to the present invention.
  • the floor drain is possible to hide beneath the upper plate, as may be understood from fig. 2. This is of interest in terms of aesthetic reasons but also for providing advantages for people with special needs.
  • One example is wheel chaired or bedridden people taking a shower.
  • the present invention may provide for an almost flat surface without a floor drain, it is easier for such a person to get into and out from the shower.
  • the floor drain does not have to be cleaned as often in comparison to regular showers and sinks.
  • the present invention provides for a much easier way to clean and remove hair and other items, etc., there will not be the same need for cleaning the actual floor drain as often as when compared with a regular showers or sink.
  • the rough filter unit according to the present invention provides for a first filtration of hair etc. which does not reach the floor drain.
  • the rough filter unit comprises a wide-meshed net or expanded metal.
  • a brush or the like may be used to clean the wide-meshed net or expanded metal to remove hair and dirt from the same.
  • the rough filter unit is a net, such as a wide-meshed net or expanded metal, surrounding all of the slit around the entire upper plate.
  • the rough filter unit is one or more perforated panels. These perforated panels have holes that go through the entire panel, and hence water will flow through this constructions. According to the present invention there may be provided one panel each on each side of the upper plate. In virtue thereof, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the rough filter unit is provided around the entire upper plate.
  • the bottom receiver unit comprises a sand trap.
  • a sand trap is totally optional according to the present invention but may be provided to ensure particular material in the water flow to settle instead of having the risk that it follows the water flow through the rough filter unit and into the drain.
  • the sand trap is part of the slot in which the slit is arranged.
  • the sand trap preferably surrounds the entire upper plate.
  • the sand trap is a groove.
  • the sand trap is a groove having a continuous geometry. Also in this case, this may be of interest for simplifying the cleaning procedure of the groove and slit.
  • the sand trap is a groove having a cross section of the bottom of the groove which is free from edges.
  • Some examples of possible shapes are semicircular cross sections and other such having bent ends without any corners. The idea of this feature is to prevent sand or other particular material from getting stuck in corners and as such being difficult to remove when cleaning the sand trap.
  • the sand trap With a semi-circular shape or the like, then the sand trap is very easy to clean. It may, however, be mentioned that it can also be of interest to provide an edge or the like as a collector of particles, sand etc. so that this portion is the only portion which has to be cleaned on a more or less regular basis.
  • the sand trap is only an optional add-on according to the present invention.
  • the bottom receiver unit also comprises a sieve situated between the rough filter unit and the drain in flow terms.
  • the sieve may be arranged directly after a funnel being the top of drain unit, as seen in fig. 2.
