GUTTER SYSTEM, COVER UNIT AND SECURING ELEMENT
The invention relates to a gutter system (1) comprising at least one frame unit (10), at least one cover unit (20) and at least one securing element (30), wherein the frame unit (10) comprises at least one receiving area (12) for arranging the cover unit (20), and wherein the securing element (30) is adapted to engage in the cover unit (20) and to releasably engage in the receiving area (12) so the cover unit (20) can interlock in the receiving area (12) of the frame unit (10). The invention also relates to a cover unit (20) and a securing element (30).
Ligature resistant strainer and drain assembly
A ligature resistant strainer for a drain assembly and connecting to a drain system. The strainer includes a grate and an extension block coupled to the grate. The grate defines a first thickness, and the extension block defines a second thickness that is greater than the first thickness. Portions of the grate cooperate with portions of the extension block to define a plurality of apertures extending through the strainer and inhibiting attachment of a ligature to the strainer.
Guard apparatus for a curb inlet
A guard for curb inlets prevents entry of large objects such as cans and bottles into the opening of the curb inlet, but allows water to enter the opening. The guard defines a relief on its bottom side so that the guard may be installed at the correct height without measurement. The guard may be composed of first and second or first, second and third slidably-engaged portions to allow the length of the guard to be user-selectable to fit a variety of curb inlets. The guard may include a grill to strain smaller debris from the water.
Combination of a cover plate and a drain and use of such combination
A combination of a cover plate and a drain, preferably a floor drain is described. The cover plate is provided with first locking means and the drain is provided with cooperating second locking means for releasable connection of the cover plate to the floor drain. The cover plate is a temporary cover plate for use during installation of the drain. The cover plate may be used for a temporary protection of a drain during installation of the drain and for installing and adjusting the inclination of the drain without the need of separate levelling tools. To obtain this the cover plate is provided with levelling means for determining the orientation of the cover plate and thereby also the drain in relation to a horizontal or a vertical plane. The first locking means or the second locking means comprises a weakening arranged such that at least a part of the locking means is preferably damaged when the cover plate is removed from the drain to ensure that the cover is not reused.
Adjustable drain assembly and retrofit kit for adjustable drain assembly
An adjustable drain assembly for adjusting the level and pitch of the frame so that, after installation, the frame can be adjust so that the strainer is level or flush with the finished floor surface. A retrofit kit for combining with a preexisting head already installed in a floor to provide an adjustable drain assembly is also disclosed.

COUPLING DEVICE AND COUPLING METHOD FOR COUPLING SUBJECT MEMBER
This invention concerns a coupling device including a detachable member 20 that can be attached to and detached from a grille, a first coupling member 21 and a second coupling member 22 provided on the detachable member 20, and a connecting member 23 provided on the detachable member 20 so as to connect the first coupling member 21 and the second coupling member 22, wherein the first coupling member 21 and the second coupling member 22 respectively include elongated holes, arc-shaped portions 51a, 51b provided on respective outer peripheral lower portions of the first coupling member 21 and the second coupling member 22, and semicircular arc portions that can be coupled to the grille, and the connecting member 23 includes a fixing shaft 24 that extends in a horizontal direction and is inserted into the respective elongated holes in the first coupling member 21 and the second coupling member 22.
DRAIN SEALING APPARATUS
A drain lock sealing apparatus is positioned in a drain pipe for being locked therein and further for sealing the pipe to prevent odors and vermin from coming from the drainpipe into the room. The apparatus includes a grate positioned over the drain pipe, a resiliently deformable sealing ring extending from the grate into the drainpipe, an rigid expander member with an inwardly tapered outer surface extending into the sealing ring, a resiliently deformable frusta-conical member attached to center hub of the expander member so that the peripheral closure edge of the frusta-conical member is in non-fixed normally closed relationship against the circumferential edge of the expander member so that the closure edge opens in response to liquid passing through the grate into the drain and resumes normally close relationship in response to the secession of liquid passing through the grate. A bolt extends through the grate and cylindrical sealing ring and is screwed into the axial hole whereby tightening of the bold compresses the sealing ring axially to deform the cylindrical sealing ring radially into clamping engagement against the interior surface of the drain pipe.
