Benefits of technology

This invention is a water drain fitting for a lavatory vessel. It is designed to prevent water splashing and to ensure efficient drainage. The drain fitting has three main parts - a plug, a top, and a tailpiece. The plug is a flanged, Reinforced Solutions (RS) pipe that is inserted into the drain hole of the vessel, and the tailpiece is attached to the bottom of the plug. The top part of the drain fitting is a tubular portion with a dome attached to it. The depth of insertion of the tubular portion is stopped by a stopping device that ensures that water can flow through without being obstructed. This design ensures that the drainage water flows smoothly out of the vessel without causing any issues.

Problems solved by technology

In practice, this drain design does not drain well.

Embodiment Construction

[0012]The lavatory drain in FIG. 1 show a top 13 with a convex upper surface 1 to shed water, the planar underside from which supports a tubular portion bearing perforations 2 interspersed with posts 3. Said top 13 inserts concentrically into a plug 14. The plug 14 comprises a flange 4 for engaging the rim of a drain hole in the bottom of a lavatory vessel, said flange supporting a pipe 5 attached to said flange 4 by a plurality of means. Said pipe 5 bears an external thread 7 onto which an internally threaded nut 9 is threaded in a helical fashion. A slip washer 8 can enable tightening of said nut 9 against a seal 6. At the free end 10 of the externally threaded plug 14 a tailpiece 11 is attached by a plurality of means, its downward free end 12 further connected to a water trap contiguous with piping leading to a sewer.

[0013]An exploded view of this drain in FIG. 2 shows a fully notched top 13 that will insert concentrically into a plug 14. The attachment of the two pieces is achi...

Abstract

A splash-proof lavatory drain consists of a top, a tailpiece tube, and a flanged threaded pipe penetrating a drain hole in a vessel interior, wherein the flange engages the rim of the drain hole and is tightened by a nut and seals against the underside of the vessel. The top is a laterally perforated tube surmounted with a dome. The tube portion of the top inserts into the upper interior of a central perforation of the flange such that the dome prevents splash back from the drain interior and the rectangular perforations allow for drainage. This top is attached to the flanged threaded pipe by a range of means including a thread mate or a press fit. Drainage flow is increased by notching the lower edge of each perforation. Drainage flow is increased by notching the bottom of the perforations either partly or fully to the bottom of the top tube.
