20240084572 · 2024-03-14 ·

An extendable drain configured to move between a retracted position and an extended position includes a housing and a drain member. The housing includes a top, a bottom, and a sidewall including an annular stretchable sleeve. The housing defines an interior volume configured to be at least partially filled by a fluid causing the annular sleeve to stretch axially, thereby increasing a distance between the top of the housing and the bottom of the housing. The drain member includes an open top fixed to the top of the housing, an open bottom, and a sidewall extending between the top and the bottom of the drain member through the interior volume of the housing. At least partially filling the interior volume of the housing moves the drain member axially causing the sleeve to stretch, thereby increasing the distance between the top of the housing and the bottom of the housing.

An adjustable drain having catch basin defining: a pan with a pan seating portion along a pan perimeter surface; and a pan base that slopes downwardly and inwardly from the pan seating portion to a pan aperture for water flowthrough, an inner tube that is integral with the pan aperture having an inner tube peripheral wall that extends into an underside of the catch basin; and a pan lip extending upwardly from the pan perimeter surface to position the cover against the pan, the pan lip and inner tube are unitary with the pan to form a leakproof transition; an outer tube disposed below the pan base, the outer tube having an outer tube top end and an outer tube peripheral wall extending downwardly from the outer tube top end to an outer tube bottom end, wherein the inner and outer tubes are telescoping tubes.

Modular adjustable linear shower drain system
11913213 · 2024-02-27 · ·

Described are embodiments of a modular adjustable linear shower drain system. The drain system is customizable in overall length by cutting portions of the drain system while on-site and prior to assembly. The individual components of the system are made to an oversized, or standard, length and then cut to a desired installation size. Once cut on-site, the components are fit together forming the modular adjustable linear shower drain system. The drain system also includes a height-adjustable shower grill that can be set to match a surrounding tiled area height and angle. The shower grill height is set by adjusting screws disposed in the shower grill and which are in contact with portions of the drain system.

ADJUSTABLE FLOOR DRAIN AND METHOD OF INSTALLATION

A drain assembly comprises a shroud, a shank, and a frame. The drain assembly may further comprise a shim with an angled top surface. The frame may have an angled bottom surface. A rotational orientation of the angled top surface of the shim relative to the shank and a rotational orientation of the angled bottom surface of the frame relative to the shank may be independently adjustable, thereby allowing for the top surface of the frame to be both angularly and rotationally adjusted relative to a central axis of the drain assembly independent of the positional height of the shank. The drain assembly may further comprise a cover having bendable tabs. The bendable tabs may be disposed around a periphery of the cover and may be configured to contact an angled inner surface of an upper bowl of the shroud, such that the bendable tabs bend around the frame, thereby locking the cover onto the frame.

DRAIN FILTER APPARATUS TO CAPTURE HAIR AND DEBRIS
20190368184 · 2019-12-05 ·

A filter apparatus mounted to a drain is provided. The drain includes an upper opening extending to an inlet of a pipe. The filter apparatus collects hair and permits water to flow through into the drain. The apparatus includes a grate coupled to the drain's upper opening and has a central opening and a plurality of openings, and a trap assembly with an upper plug coupled to the grate's central opening and a rod with a first end continuously connected to the upper plug and a second end extending into the drain. The trap assembly includes a filter member disposed around the rod and positioned above the inlet of the pipe. The apparatus permits water to pass through the grate's openings and filter member for entry into the pipe's inlet for an evacuation. The apparatus permits hair to pass through the grate's openings and collect on the filter member.

Floor drain assembly and method
10480170 · 2019-11-19 · ·

A drain assembly for providing a drain in a floor. The drain assembly includes a drain conduit, a strainer and an adaptor. The drain conduit has an inner surface that defines a fluid flow path and an outer surface. The strainer is disposed above the drain conduit and has openings in fluid communication with the fluid flow path of the drain conduit. The adaptor may be securable in the drain conduit and may be connected to the strainer. Prior to securing the adaptor in the drain conduit, a position of the adaptor in the drain conduit may be moveable to allow atop surface of the strainer to be substantially aligned with the floor. A method of assembly is also disclosed.
