Through-Floor Combination Tub and Surface Drain
20220341149 · 2022-10-27 ·

A through-floor combination tub and surface drain includes an exterior tube having a top end and a bottom end. The bottom end of the exterior tube is to connect to a sewer pipe. The top end of the exterior tube has one or more openings to provide a floor drain. The drain also includes an interior tube situated within the exterior tube. The interior tube has a top end to receive a drain pipe and a bottom end that opens into a cavity within the exterior tube that extends from the top end of the exterior tube to the bottom end of the exterior tube. The drain further includes a flange, extending outward radially from the exterior tube, to connect to a substrate of a floor.

Shower drain and protective cover
11608621 · 2023-03-21 · ·

Shower drain assemblies and their components are disclosed. In examples, a shower drain assembly may include a receptor, a threaded flange, an optional hair strainer, a plate, and a protective cover. The receptor may include an upper portion and a lower portion. A portion of a threaded flange is receivable into the upper portion. An internal diameter of the lower portion may be less than any internal diameter of the threaded portion. A membrane may be coupled to an interior cavity of the threaded flange for pressure testing the drain assembly. The threaded flange may also include a tab to facilitate coupling of the threaded flange to the receptor and/or securing of a hair strainer inside the interior cavity of the threaded flange. A top surface of the threaded flange may include an inset to facilitate removal of a plate. The protective cover may protect the plate from damage.

POP-UP SINK DRAIN WITH OVERFLOW KNOCK-OUT BLANK
20230078805 · 2023-03-16 ·

A drain body used to connect a sink drain to drainage pipes for use with sinks having integral overflow protection and sinks with conventional overflow ports. The drain body comprises a hollow cylinder with an upper flange including an upper sidewall portion defining a knock out blank which may be left in place or may be easily removed, thus providing a hole through which the overflow water which is carried through an integral tunnel in the sidewall routed to the bottom drain port of the drain body sinks versus a conventional overflow port. Because sinks having no integral tunnel for draining overflow water require a solid drain body, the user would simply leave the upper sidewall portion intact in order to use the drain with overflow knock-out blank drain body.

Sink drain device
11603649 · 2023-03-14 ·

An improved sink drain device that includes a main sink drain member, upper and lower gaskets, a threaded ring and a plurality of pressure bolts. The sink drain is funnel shaped and has an outwardly extending flange at its top-most surface and has external threads on its outer surface. The threaded ring has internal threads that engage the external threads of the sink drain member. The threaded ring also has threaded apertures. The upper gasket is located between the sink drain flange and the top surface of the floor of a sink. The lower gasket is located between the lower surface of the sink and the rigid pressure ring. The pressure bolts thread into the apertures of the threaded ring causing the flange of the main sink drain member to be forced downward to form a water-tight seal with the floor of the sink base.

Tile floor drain
11473287 · 2022-10-18 ·

A tile drain and method of installing a tile drain is provided. The tile drain includes a drain body and a drain cover. The drain body defines a top opening, top weep apertures, and bottom weep apertures. The top opening receives the drain cover and serves as the primary drain for the tile drain. The top weep apertures are positioned below a top layer, such as a tile layer, of the base so as to receive fluid positioned between the top layer and a top waterproofing layer of the base. The sub weep apertures are positioned below the top waterproofing layer of the base so as to receive fluid positioned between the top waterproofing layer and a bottom waterproofing layer of the base. The drain body is encapsulated within the base, but the drain cover is adjustable relative to, and removable from, the drain body.

Shower drain assemblies and their components are disclosed. In examples, a shower drain assembly may include a receptor, a threaded flange, a plate, and a protective cover. The protective cover may protect the plate, the threaded flange, or other components from damage. The protective cover may be installed directly onto the threaded flange or onto the plate when the plate is installed onto the threaded flange. The same protective cover can thus be used to protect shower drain assemblies at different stages of installation—whether or not trim pieces such as the plate have yet been installed.
