AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

"The present invention is a one-piece plumbing device that can be used under both a bathroom or kitchen sink to connect to the sewer pipe. It is easy to install and has a flexible neck that can extend up to sixteen inches in any direction. The trap section has a rotatable joint that makes maneuvering and installation easier. The horizontal and vertical ends have three concentric walls nested within to allow for connection to sewer pipes of different diameters. The device also has rings or ribs to ensure proper sealing around the sink drain and sewer pipe. Overall, the invention provides a convenient and efficient solution for connecting a sink to the sewer pipe."

Problems solved by technology

Further, prior art plumbing involves multiple pieces with a lengthy, complicated and precise installation process.
Further, rigid conduit sections are difficult to install and require multiple pieces that are dimensioned with little tolerance.
Still further, the same plumbing pieces cannot be versatilely used for the plumbing under a kitchen sink as for a bathroom sink due to the difference in diameter of the sewer and sink drain.

Embodiment Construction

[0011]With reference to the drawings, wherein the same reference number indicates the same element throughout, there is shown in FIG. 1 a side view of the one piece plumbing device 100 of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the plumbing device 100 comprises a vertical end 24, a flexible neck 10, a connection 20, a trap section 15 and a horizontal end 30. The vertical end 24, has a first edge 21 and a second edge 22. The vertical end 24 of the pipe has two concentric walls, a first wall 26 and a smaller diameter second wall 28. In an embodiment of the present invention the first wall 26 has a one and a half (1.5) inch inner diameter (diameter b) and the second wall 28 has a one and one quarter (1.25) inch inner diameter (diameter a). As shown in FIG. 2, the second wall 28 is concentrically nested within the first wall 26. The first edge 21 of the vertical end 24 is capable of attaching to a sink drain S of two different diameters. As shown in FIG. 3, the second wall 28 extends...

Abstract

A one-piece plumbing device that allows easy installation for connection between sink drains having different diameters and sewer drains having different diameters. The one-piece device has a vertical end, a flexible neck, a connection, a trap section and a horizontal end. The vertical end has a first wall and a second wall having different diameters which accommodate different size sink drains. The flexible neck allows for ease of installation. The trap section has a rotatable joint to additionally ease the installation process. The horizontal end has an outer wall, a middle wall and an inner wall, each having different diameters and concentrically nested within each other for attachment to various size sewer pipes.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The invention relates to a device for plumbing and method thereof. In particular, an improved one-piece device that provides a multi-use pipe assembly for use with a kitchen or bathroom sink that accommodates different size sewer pipes and different size drain pipes to facilitate quick and easy installation with a one piece device.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]All sinks utilize multiple plumbing connections to a drain system. This plumbing usually involves drain fittings to connect the conduit to a sewer pipe, a trap, or U-shaped portion of the conduit, and a fitting to connect the conduit to the sink. Kitchen sink drains normally use a 1.5 inch diameter drain plumbing while bathroom sinks and other low-volume drains normally use a 1.25 inch diameter drain plumbing. Further, sewer pipes have varying sizes and are most commonly 1.5 inch, 1.75 inch or 2 inch in diameter. Prior art plumbing, such as drain fittings and traps, provide for connection to a sp...
