Problems solved by technology

However, the main drawback of this device is that the majority of the base of the floor element is in direct contact with the wet supporting floor
While some safety issues are dealt with by having a non-slip surface for people to stand on, this equipment faces problems with mold and degradation of floors caused by trapped water
In addition, the structure of this equipment is not easy to clean by manual or mechanical equipment

Embodiment Construction

[0033] The invention will be described with particular reference to the accompanying drawings. Figures 1 and 2 show a module 12 of a first preferred embodiment of a flooring system 10 for capturing waste. Figure 1 is a perspective view of a first embodiment of a floor system 10 illustrating the connection of horizontally adjacently arranged modules 12 that make up the floor system 10, illustrating the modules 12, and the drain pans that make up the modules 12 of the first embodiment 14 and the relationship between the floor grid 24.

[0034] While FIGS. 1 and 2 illustrate the module 12 with three floor grids 24 disposed on the drain pan 14 , it is contemplated that the module 12 may include at least one or any number of floor grids 24 . Preferably, such a floor grid 24 is sufficient to cover the drain pan 14 as a whole. The drain pan 14 shown in these figures is generally rectangular. However, the drain pan 14 can also be configured in any shape and size. Preferably, the d...

Abstract

A self-cleaning flooring system is provided that includes at least one module. The module comprises a drain pan, a plurality of discharge ports, and at least one side wall. The drain pan may have a ramp and a drain outlet. The ramp may slope downward towards the drain outlet. The discharge ports may be disposed about a periphery of the drain pan and may be directed towards the drain outlet to direct flushing fluid towards the drain outlet. The side wall may circumscribe a portion of the periphery of the drain pan and include a hollow passage and at least one fluid inlet. The fluid inlet may be in fluid communication with the hollow passage for delivering flushing fluid to the discharge ports.
