ROOF DRAIN ATTACHMENT
A drain assembly for use with a plumbing system. The drain assembly includes a base, a dome, and a drain attachment. The base includes a first end, a second end opposite first end, and defining a central axis. The base at least partially defines a channel open to both the first end and the second end. The channel has an inlet at the first end of the base. The dome is coupled to the base and at least partially encloses the inlet. The drain attachment includes a body and a plurality of baffles. The body extends parallel to the central axis and includes a first end and a second end opposite the first end. The body also defines a passageway open to both the first end and the second end. The plurality of baffles extends outwardly from the body.
DRAINAGE SYSTEM
The invention refers to a drainage system (100), in particular a roof drainage system, comprising an outlet member (10) and a flow restrictor (20), whereby the flow restrictor (20) is situated above the outlet member (10). The flow restrictor (20) comprises a contact portion (22) and the outlet member (10) comprises a flange portion (12), whereby a first sealing member (30) is arranged on and/or along the flange portion (12) of the outlet member (10) and a second sealing member (40) is arranged at the contact portion (22) of the flow restrictor (20).
Drainage device equipped with an attachment sleeve for construction, particularly a building roof or a terrace
The drainage device 10 comprises: a drainage head 24 internally delimiting a collection space 34 and provided with at least one through recovery passage 36, 38, an attachment sleeve 26 at least partially deformable, secured to the drainage 24 and capable of being engaged inside the flow pipe 20, a compression washer 28 attached on the attachment sleeve 26, and a stressing element 30 movable in relation to the drainage head 24 and cooperating with the compression washer 28 to obtain, under the effect of a movement of said stressing element relative to the drainage head, an axial movement of the compression washer 28 on the side of the drainage head and an outward radial deformation of the attachment sleeve 26.
COVERS FOR GUTTERING
An assembly for covering a gutter is disclosed which comprises a mounting member for attachment to a fascia or rafter or the like (10; 100) and a cover member (50) for covering and enclosing a gutter. The mounting member provides upper (22; 120) and lower (34;117) engagement means for engagement with corresponding engagement means (58, 62) defined in ends of the cover member. The engagement means of the mounting member include at least one gap or a space defined between two spaced walls for receiving a generally v-shaped end of the cover and at least one of the walls defines a flange/stop for engaging with the end of the cover for retaining the end of the cover between the walls. The cover will typically be formed from a material such as rolled steel, which may be coated painted or otherwise treated so as to be rust-resistant. The engagement means for the cover will typically be a generally v-shaped bend in one end of the over which engages in the slot by compression of the sides of the “v” together then expansion to engage in the gap/space. The bracket (10) may be generally planar and attach to a fascia board of a roof defining apertures for receiving fasteners in its front face for attachment to the fascia board. Alternatively the bracket (110) may define an attachment plate oriented at an angle of about 90° to the front face of the bracket for attachment directly to rafter, thus obviating the need for a fascia board.
INTELLIGENT ROOF DRAIN SYSTEMS AND METHODS
An intelligent roof drain system includes a roof drain surrounded by a drain plate. A water seepage detection module is disposed proximate the drain plate. The water seepage detection module includes water seepage detection sensors and circuitry and an antenna system to inductively receive power and communicate water seepage data. A roofing membrane is disposed over the water seepage detection module. A monitoring module that includes control circuitry, power supply circuitry, water level detection circuitry, communications interface circuitry, and an antenna system to inductively supply power to and communicate with the water seepage detection module is disposed proximate the water seepage detection module such that the antenna systems align. The intelligent roof drain system can detect water seepage under the roofing membrane and standing water proximate the roof drain and communicate such events to a gateway and/or building management system.
DRAINAGE DEVICE FOR A CONSTRUCTION, IN PARTICULAR A ROOF OF A BUILDING OR A TERRACE
Drainage device for a construction, in particular a roof of a building or a terrace, for discharging rainwater, comprising: a drainage head (11) supported on the construction around a flow channel of the latter and defining a recovery space communicating with the outside and with the flow channel; and a mounting means comprising a support or attachment means (23) capable of being engaged inside the discharge channel and abutting against the peripheral wall of the discharge channel and a biasing means (24) which connects the drainage head and the support or attachment means and is capable of acting on the support or attachment means so as to keep the drainage head supported on the outer surface of the construction.
Thatch Roofing System
A modular thatch panel for a thatch roof is provided that distinguishes a perforated louvered drainage and drying tray and an insert thatch bale. The tray has louvers at the bottom aspect of the tray and perforations distributed over the tray bottom. The bottom surface of the tray faces a barrier (e.g. water, thermal and/or fire) which overlays a roof panel. The tray and the barrier are at a distance suitable for airflow in between the two layers. The insert thatch bale is compacted, bonded and inserted in the perforated louvered drainage and drying tray.
Systems and methods for rainwater collection and controlled outflow
A rainwater distribution system for storing and distributing rainwater includes a first container configured to store rainwater and having a bottom wall and a side wall; a planting container being elevated off of the bottom wall and within the first container, and having a planting container bottom wall and a side wall; a planting container support configured to elevate the planting container off of the bottom wall and within the first container; a cascade aperture having a cascade filter, the cascade aperture positioned on the side wall of the planting container, and allows the rainwater that enters the planting container to exit the planting container into the first container; and an outlet aperture positioned on the side wall of the first container and configured to allow the rainwater to exit the first container at a controlled rate.
