Embodiment Construction

[0025] Referring to FIG. 1 , the drainage interception and overflow device (mechanism) of the present invention is indicated by reference numeral 10 . 0 of the device can be used with a free-standing bathtub 12 having a drain hole 14 on its bottom 16 and legs 18 resting on the floor 20.

[0026] Bathtub faucet 22 has a pair of standpipes 24 (only one is shown on the figure), and it is installed on the annular mounting plate 28 that is fixed with floor 20 at the hole 26 position of floor 20. The bent ends 29 of the standpipes 24 are each connected to a handle 30 and a socket 32 ​​above the bathtub 12 . Standpipes 24 provide for cold and hot water supply pipes 34 extending upwardly through holes 26 in floor 20 .

[0027] The flow out of socket 32 ​​through water supply tube 34 is controlled by a valve operated by handle 30 . The two tubes 24 are joined together and secured to the bathtub 12 with a T-shaped clip 36 . At one end of the clip 36 is a ring 37 which fits around a s...

Abstract

A drain stop and overflow mechanism that is particularly well-suited for use with a free-standing bathtub includes a drainpipe that can be connected to a water drain opening in the bathtub. A standpipe can be connected at a bottom end to a waste water line and also to the drainpipe. A sleeve provides an internal overflow system within the standpipe, and a plunger controlling drainage is positioned within the sleeve.

Description

technical field [0001] This invention relates to bathtubs, and more particularly, to devices for controlling the drainage of bathtubs. Background technique [0002] Fashions from bygone eras, such as the Victorian and Elizabethan eras, are receiving renewed attention today. One such retro-inspired fixture is the free-standing bathtub that sits in the center of the bathroom. See US Patent D235,106. [0003] This means the tub is supported on legs away from the bathroom wall so the tub can be accessed from either side. But this requires that the plumbing pipes that fill and drain the tubs protrude upward from the floor and are exposed, rather than hidden within the walls. Therefore, due to aesthetic and other considerations, it is important to limit the amount of exposed piping to reduce cost. [0004] A common feature of most bathtubs is an overflow drainage system, which keeps the bathtub from being so full that water flows over the sides of the bathtub and spills onto t...
