[0001] QUICK-ERECT, BARRIER-FREE DRAINAGE TRAY

[0002] DESCRIPTION

[0003] The invention relates to sanitary equipment, namely to quickly erected, barrier-free trays for collecting and draining water [MPK A47KZ / 40, A47K 3 / 00, A47KZ / 17, A47KZ / 405, E04F15 / 02482, E03C1 / 22; SPK A47K 3 / 00 A47KZ / 40 A47KZ / 405].

[0004] A SHOWER TRAY WITHOUT VISIBLE DRAINAGE MEANS is known from the prior art [US 20090320204, publ. A1 2009-12-31], which is provided with a perimeter wall defining the perimeter of the shower tray, and a plurality of support wall sections, usually triangular in shape. One wall of the support wall sections is located opposite the perimeter wall and forms a channel between them along the perimeter of the shower tray. Other pairs of walls of the support wall sections are located opposite each other and form drainage channels that connect the perimeter channel to the drain hole. The other walls of the support wall sections have upper edges that position the top of the shower tray near the central drain hole and slope downward and outward from the top toward the perimeter channel. The drainage channels slope downward and inward from the perimeter channel toward the central drain hole.In this way, water can flow by gravity from the finished floor, supported on the top edges of the other pairs of walls, down and out into the perimeter channel, from where it then flows down and in through the drainage channels to the drain hole.

[0005] The disadvantage of this analogue is the significant time and labor costs for its installation.

[0006] Also known from the prior art is a RECEIVING SHOWER BOWL [RU 2310364 C2, published 2007.11.20], made of stone, ceramic tile or similar material, comprising a supporting body, a stand, a bottom plate, a drain channel and an edge frame. The latter forms a gap with the bottom plate in the area of ​​the drain channel for draining water into the channel. This gap is formed by two parallel side surfaces and extends at some angle to the vertical. The lower opening of the gap is offset laterally with respect to the upper opening by at least the width of the upper opening. The bottom plate is removable.

[0007] 1

[0008] SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) The disadvantage of this analogue is also the significant time and labor costs for its installation.

[0009] The closest in technical essence is the SHOWER FLOOR ELEMENT [DE 102014218561 A1, published 2016-03-17], comprising a cover element forming a standing surface for the user, a drain element and a drain, characterized in that the cover element can be removed without tools. A drain element is mounted on the drain element.

[0010] The main technical problems with the prototype are that it is difficult to manufacture and install at the site of use.

[0011] The purpose of a utility model is to eliminate the shortcomings of the prototype.

[0012] The technical result of the invention consists in providing the possibility of quick and simple installation of the pallet in the floor niche with the possibility of leveling its surface with the floor level, while providing a barrier-free environment between the floor and the pallet. In addition, the technical result consists in simplifying the manufacture and maintenance of the pallet.

[0013] The specified technical result is achieved due to the fact that the water drain tray consists of a bowl having a bottom and walls, on the bottom of the bowl, monolithically, at equal intervals, cylindrical pins are made, having longitudinal holes with internal threads, while the upper ends of the pins are connected with supports, which consist of a cylindrical base and a rectangular cover, and a covering is installed on the rectangular covers of the supports, and screw posts are installed from below the bowl, in the longitudinal holes of the pins.

[0014] In particular, the bottom of the bowl is made with a slope towards the drain hole.

[0015] In particular, at the bottom of the bowl wall there is a drain hole containing a water seal.

[0016] In particular, the screw posts are designed with the possibility of adjustment inside the pin in height by a rotational movement, acting on the groove through the upper opening of the font.

[0017] In particular, on the rectangular covers of some of the supports there are projections that allow the covering to be fixed, while simultaneously creating gaps for draining water.

[0018] In particular, the projections have the following shapes: a cross-shaped projection; a rectangular projection located in the middle of the support cover; a rectangular

[0019] 2

[0020] SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) a projection located along one side of the support cover; an L-shaped projection located along two adjacent sides of the support cover; a T-shaped projection located in the middle and along one side of the top of the support cover.

[0021] In particular, the protrusions on the support caps allow for the installation of multiple coverings.

[0022] The invention is illustrated by drawings.

[0053] The figures indicate:

[0054] 1 - bowl; 2 - screw post; 3 - bottom; 4 - wall; 5 - rim; 6 - drain hole; 7 - sewer outlet; 8 - pin; 9 - support; 10 - cylindrical base; 11 - rectangular cover; 12 - cross-shaped protrusion; 13 - rectangular protrusion located in the middle of the upper part; 14 - rectangular protrusion located along one side of the upper part; 15 - L-shaped protrusion located along two adjacent sides of the upper part; 16 - T-shaped protrusion located in the middle and along one side of the upper part; 17 - sole; 18 - thread; 19 - groove, 20 - covering, 21 - niche.

[0055] A water drain pan ensures effective collection and management of surface water runoff. If the drainage system is not properly organized, water, accumulating in an unintended place, will act destructively. Owners of built-in trays, when using them, face difficulties such as the complexity of installation during construction, the need for additional waterproofing, and the complexity of cleaning the drain. In the event of a water supply or drainage failure in such cabins, there is no way to access the fault located under the covering, in which case it is necessary to carry out complex construction repairs.

[0056] The proposed device - a barrier-free built-in tray for draining water allows you to avoid difficulties when using a built-in tray. The proposed barrier-free built-in tray for draining water does not require pouring and slope of the surface, as it is a sealed, adjustable structure. In this device, there is no need to install a grate, gutter, siphon, due to which the integrity of the coating is preserved.

[0057] One of the main differences of the proposed device is the absence of a visible tray. The barrier-free built-in tray for draining water forms a barrier-free structure, thereby facilitating access to the shower. If such a tray and drain is installed in the shower, it provides decent comfort for people with disabilities. This device can be made in various shapes and areas, can be used not only for shower cabins, but also in places where

[0058] 4

[0059] SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) there is a need to drain water, for example, in a bathhouse, in a pool bypass, in a car wash and in other places.

[0060] The water drain tray consists of a bowl 1, which is mounted on screw posts 2. The screw posts 2 have a thread 18 on the outside, a rectangular groove 19 on the top side, and a base 17 on the bottom. The screw posts 2 are designed with the possibility of adjusting the height by a rotary movement inside the pin 8, acting on the groove 19 through the upper hole of the font 8, thus the screw posts allow the water drain tray to be set on the surface of the niche 21 of the correct plane relative to the horizon, despite the curvature of the surface of the niche 21. The bowl 1 consists of a bottom 3, walls 4 and sides 5. The bottom of the bowl is made with a slope, in the direction of the drain hole 6. The drain hole 6 with a water seal is located in the lower part of the wall 4. On the outside of the water drain tray, around the drain hole 6, a branch pipe is made for installing the seal and connecting the sewer outlet 7. At the bottom 3 pins 8 are rigidly fixed, forming a single integral element with the bowl.Fixation can be performed by solid casting or welding. Pins 8 are made cylindrical, inside the pin, along the axis of symmetry, a through hole of cylindrical shape with thread 18 is made. A support 9 is attached to each pin 8 in the upper part. Supports 9 are a solid element, supports 9 are used of different types (Type 1, Type 2, Type 3, Type 4, Type 5, Type 6).

[0061] Type 1 - support 9 consists of a cylindrical base 10, a flat rectangular cover 11 in the upper part.

[0062] Type 2 - support 9 consists of a cylindrical base 10, a rectangular cover 11 with a cross-shaped protrusion 12 in the upper part.

[0063] Type 3 - support 9 consists of a cylindrical base 10, a rectangular cover 11 with a rectangular protrusion located in the middle of the upper part 13.

[0064] Type 4 - support 9 consists of a cylindrical base 10, a rectangular cover 11 with a rectangular protrusion located along one side of the upper part 14.

[0065] Type 5 - support 9 consists of a cylindrical base 10, a rectangular cover 11 with an L-shaped protrusion located along two adjacent sides of the upper part 15.

[0066] Type 6 - support 9 consists of a cylindrical base 10, a rectangular cover 11 with a T-shaped protrusion located in the middle and along one side of the upper part 16.

[0067] 5

[0068] SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) Supports 9 are presented in different types, made with the possibility of creating a different geometric pattern, suitable for almost any type and shape of covering 20. The upper cut of the rectangular cover 11 of support 9 along the horizontal plane corresponds to the upper cut of the side 5.

[0069] The covering 20 is located on top of the supports 9, is freely fixed by the projections of the upper part of the rectangular cover 11. Between the elements of the covering 20, gaps are formed, made with the possibility of high water throughput. The free fixation of the covering 20 is made with the possibility of providing free access to the drain, and also, if necessary, a quick replacement of the covering 20.

[0070] Due to the fact that the water drain tray, consisting of a bowl having a bottom and walls, on the bottom of the bowl, monolithically, at equal intervals, cylindrical pins are made, having longitudinal holes with internal threads, while the upper ends of the pins are connected with supports, which consist of a cylindrical base and a rectangular cover, and a covering is installed on the rectangular covers of the supports, and from below the bowl, in the longitudinal holes of the pins, screw posts are installed, a barrier-free horizontal surface is formed between the plane passing over the place of collection and drainage of water and the adjacent area.

[0071] Due to the fact that the bottom of the bowl is made with a slope in the direction of the drain hole, there is a free drainage of water, which does not require the upper surface to be made with a slope, consisting of a coating.

[0072] Due to the fact that the drain hole containing the water seal is located in the lower part of the wall, free drainage of water occurs.

[0073] Due to the fact that the screw posts are designed with the ability to adjust the height by a rotary movement inside the pin, acting on the groove through the upper hole of the font, it is possible to set the level of the bowl, providing a flat, horizontal surface.

[0074] Due to the fact that the rectangular support covers have rectangular protrusions that fix the covering, forming joints for draining water, a barrier-free horizontal surface is formed between the plane passing over the place of collection and drainage of water and the adjacent area, and free drainage of water occurs into the formed joints.

[0075] Due to the fact that the rectangular projections of the supports are presented in different types: a cross-shaped projection; a rectangular projection located in the middle;

[0076] 6

[0077] SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) a rectangular projection located along one side; an L-shaped projection located along two adjacent sides; a T-shaped projection located in the middle and along one side of the top part, it is possible to place the covering over the place of collection and drainage of water without using sides.

[0078] Due to the fact that the supports, presented in different types, are made with the ability to create a different geometric pattern from the coating, it is possible to place the coating over the place of collection and drainage of water without using sides.

[0079] Due to the fact that there is a free fixation of the covering, it is possible to quickly assemble and install a prefabricated, barrier-free tray for draining water.

[0080] Due to the fact that the free fixation of the covering is made with the ability to provide free access to the drain, it is possible to service the drain without the use of installation and labor-intensive repairs.

[0081] Due to the fact that the free fixation of the coating allows for a quick replacement of the coating, it is possible to quickly and easily change the design.

[0082] A prefabricated, barrier-free water drainage tray is installed in a place where there is a need to collect and manage surface water runoff. We present an option for using a prefabricated, barrier-free water drainage tray.
