Benefits of technology

"The present invention provides a drain assembly that can be easily and properly placed by a tiler and prevent leakage and moisture problems. The drain assembly includes a drain body with an inlet zone and a peripheral flange, a water-sealing layer adhering to the flange, and a sealing mat. The sealing mat is placed around the periphery of the inlet zone and overlaps with the water-sealing layer. The invention also provides a method for placing the drain assembly in a floor material. The technical effects of the invention include improved water sealing, prevention of leakage and moisture problems, and ease of installation."

Problems solved by technology

A known problem of the existing drains for tile floors is associated with making the connections between the drain and the tiles watertight.

first embodiment

[0035]a drain assembly according to the invention will be illustrated hereinbelow with reference to FIGS. 1-5. The drain assembly comprises a drain body 1 with an upper side 3 and an underside 2. Drain body 1 is provided on its upper side 3 with an inlet zone 4 with a periphery 5. This periphery 5 transposes into a substantially horizontally extending peripheral flange 6. Underside 3 of drain body 1 is preferably intended to be arranged directly into a floor material such as mortar. The underside of peripheral flange 6 is thus placed directly against the floor material here, as will be further illustrated with reference to FIGS. 6A-D.

[0036]The drain body is preferably manufactured from a plastic which adheres to the typical floor materials such as mortar, and preferably from a mouldable plastic. It is however also possible to manufacture the drain body from metal. An example of a suitable material is a mouldable plastic on the basis of polyester resins and aluminium trihydrates. Suc...

Abstract

Methods and devices for drain assemblies including those for building into a floor. Such drain assemblies including a drain body which can be built into the floor and which has at the top an inlet zone with a periphery, a peripheral flange with an upper surface, extending substantially in a horizontal plane from this periphery, a water-sealing layer arranged adheringly on the upper surface of the peripheral flange, a sealing mat with the form of a frame with an inner periphery fitting around the periphery, wherein a portion of the sealing mat overlaps at least the outer periphery of the water-sealing layer, and wherein the sealing mat and the water-sealing layer are adapted to be water-sealing and to adhere well to tile adhesive.

Description

BACKGROUND[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a drain assembly, particularly for a walk-in shower, which drain assembly is intended for building into a tile floor. The invention further relates to a drain body for use in such an assembly and to a method for building-in of a drain.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]A known problem of the existing drains for tile floors is associated with making the connections between the drain and the tiles watertight. The development of drains typically takes place from the viewpoint of the plumber. Insufficient attention is paid here to the convenience of placing for a tiler.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0005]The present invention has for its object to provide a drain assembly which can be placed easily and properly by a tiler and with which leakage and / or moisture problems can particularly be avoided.[0006]The invention relates for this purpose to a drain assembly which is distinguished in that it comprises ...
