Description

Title of the invention: Removable extension for a terrace or balcony urinal

[0001] The present invention relates to a balcony or terrace shower extension device allowing for a more distant evacuation of cleaning water.

[0002] The showerheads as installed in buildings do not allow the water to be directed far enough away from the building and most of the time end up flowing onto the terraces or balconies of the lower floors. This can create tension within the buildings. Furthermore, a permanent installation of longer showerheads detracts from the building's aesthetics and will cause problems with the residents' association.

[0003] The device according to the invention makes it possible to remedy these problems. Indeed, the removable nature of the invention allows it to be installed and removed without construction work, without compromising aesthetics or generating noise pollution for the neighborhood. Furthermore, the ability to project the cleaning water further away from the building allows anyone who wishes to do so to clean their terrace or balcony without disturbing the floors below.

[0004] The device can be installed in less than a minute due to its ease of use. It consists of a universal PVC extension equipped with two adjustable straps that adapt to all types of balconies or terraces. The first strap secures the device (lifeline) to facilitate handling during installation, and the second strap allows adjustment of the device's inclination to create more or less steep slopes during drainage. A backflow preventer seal is included to ensure a watertight connection between the building and the device.

[0005] For information purposes, the device has a tube 100cm long and 132mm in diameter allowing it to adapt to the majority of terrace outlets.

[0006] This device according to the invention is intended for the general public.
