SINK AND DRAIN FOR SINK
Sinks and drains for sinks permitting the attachment of the drain to the sink such that the drain is substantially disposed below the top surface of the sink basin, and such that there is no discernable separation between the base of the sink basin and the drain when viewed from above the sink. A method of making a sink such that there is no discernable separation between the base of the sink basin and the drain when viewed from above the sink.
BATHTUB DRAINAGE DEVICE
A bathtub drainage device comprises: a plate, that can open and close an opening formed at a position corresponding to a position where a bather can sit on a floor of a bathtub in which hot water is stored, the plate on which at least buttocks of the bather can be placed; a rising part, that raises the plate closing the opening so that the opening is opened; an acquisition unit, that acquires information indicating a state of the bather; and a control unit, that controls the rising part so as to raise the plate so that the opening is opened and so as to discharge, from the opening, the hot water stored in the bathtub, when the information acquired by the acquisition unit indicates an abnormal state of the bather.
Clicker drain assembly and method of assembling same
A clicker drain assembly includes a unitary main drain body. The clicker drain assembly further includes a drain stopper assembly, a clicker drain seal, an actuating assembly, and a drain trim ring. The drain trim ring is configured to couple to the main drain body and receive the clicker drain seal and the actuating assembly. The stopper assembly is configured to couple to the actuating assembly and actuate the actuating assembly when pressed by a user.
SUBFLOOR ACCESSIBLE BATH
A system is provided. The system may include one or more of a tub, a platform, and a lift, coupled to a bottom surface of the platform. The tub includes a top surface, a bottom surface, and a concave well between the top and bottom surfaces. The platform includes water openings extending through a thickness of the platform. The lift is disposed within the tub and is configured to raise and lower the platform within the well.
Pop Up Stopper and Seal
A pop up stopper comprising multiple aperture and at least one non-aperture lever rod engagement locations to allow use of the stopper as a replacement with different pre-existing actuating and drain systems when the existing stopper is broken, worn or needs to be replaced for aesthetic reasons. An existing lever rod is selectively positionable to engage with one of the lever rod engagement locations that are disposed at varying heights on the stopper. Most preferably, there are six lever rod engagement locations, four aperture locations and two non-aperture locations. A seal disposed below a cap and around a body of the stopper comprises an enlarged annular ring near its outer edge to provide increased surface area for sealing a drain opening. The body of the stopper has a maximum width measured in cross section of 1.04 inches or less.
Lift rod pop-up drain assembly
The invention describes a quick install lift rod pop-up sink drain assembly comprising a drain body, a drain plug, a horizontal pivot rod used as a lever for raising and lowering the drain plug, a lock ring which rotatably secures the horizontal pivot rod to the drain body, and a lift rod rotatably connected to the outer free end of the horizontal pivot rod and used to raise or lower the free end of the horizontal pivot rod. A spherical portion of the horizontal pivot rod is rotatably captured inside a free end of a connector which is integral with the drain body and which contains pawls which capture the spherical portion of the rod and allow up and down movement of the rod with respect to the drain body, causing the drain plug to open and close.
Push-type drain stopper for pop-up drain
A push-type drain stopper is usable in a drain pipe that has a pivot rod port surrounded by a stub by sealing a rod that protrudes into the pipe through the stub. The stopper is pressed transversely into engagement with the rod, which is an anchor. The drain pipe has a drain flange that seals around a drain opening in a sink. If the flange becomes worn and unsightly or if one desires to change a color scheme for the sink, a cap that has a diameter greater than the drain flange hides the drain flange from sight. A retrofit kit includes the drain stopper, pivot balls sized to fit different pop-up drain assemblies, a rod that passes through the ball into the drain pipe, and a wing nut fixed to an end of the rod for tightening the rod against a stub cap.
DRAIN COVER ASSEMBLY
A drain cover assembly for a lavatory includes an adapter and a drain cover. The adapter includes a body and a first end portion extending from the body. The drain cover is removably coupled to the first end portion. The body is configured to removably couple to a cartridge actuator in a first configuration and a drain insert in a second configuration.
GASKET SEALS FOR DRAIN CLOSURES
An exemplary embodiment, among others, of the present disclosure is directed to a drain closure assembly. Such an assembly has a head of the drain closure assembly that is fastened to a top end of a stem, wherein the bottom end of the stem is insertable in a drain shoe. The assembly further includes a gasket fastened around an outer cylinder of the stem below the head. Accordingly, the gasket comprises a series of concentric annular platforms such that a force applied to a top surface of the gasket causes an upper concentric annular platform having a smaller outer diameter to be compressed before the lower concentric annular platform having a larger outer diameter is compressed, thereby creating a seal between the head of the drain closure assembly and the drain shoe.
SINK PLUG ARRANGEMENT
Disclosed is a sink plug. The sink plug comprises an integrally formed bottom part (10) having a floor (20) and side walls (30). The sink plug further comprises a knob (40) with magnetic properties, disposed on the center of the circular floor and a cover (70) adapted to be disposed on the knob. The cover comprises a magnet (50) disposed in the center of the cover (70), wherein in an operating position, the magnet (50) magnetically engages with the knob (40).
