Abstract
A shower tray outlet trap includes a slotted sleeve 2 which is extendable from an engaged condition shown in Figure 2 to an extended disengaged condition as shown in Fig 3. The slotted sleeve 2 extends within the trap 1 creating a reservoir in the shower tray. The vertical force required to achieve this extension is supplied by a float 8 within the sump 9 of the trap, which actuates a push rod 7 to move the slotted sleeve 2. The sleeve 2 is supported by member 4. A barrel sleeve is attached to support member 4. Within the barrel sleeve is a retractable locking system 6 which bears against the slotted sleeve 2. Re-engagement of the retractable locking system 6, returns the slotted sleeve to plug drain level, and the reservoir is permitted to drain to waste.
Description
Shower Trap This invention relates to a shower Irap, which can create a reservoir within a shower tray. When showering, water drains to waste, not allowing feet to soak.
To overcome this, the present invention proposes an elevated slotted sleeve within the trap acting as a weir. The elevated weir not to breech the level of the shower tray.
The sleeve being elevated using a float within the sump of the trap for its vertical force. A retractable locking system modelled after a retractable pen is used to engage and disengage the weir. When disengaged the retractable locking system is released allowing the float to rise, which in turn rises the inner sleeve. This elevated section now acts as a weir, creating a reservoir in the shower tray. Water will drain to waste once reservoir height is equal to weir height Engaging the retractable locking system retains the inner sleeve level at plug drain level, reservoir will drain to waste. An example of the invention will now be described by referring to the accompanying drawings: Figure 1 shows a trap.
Figure 2 shows a trap according to the invention when engaged.
Figure 3 shows a trap according to the invention when disengaged.
A trap item 1, housing an internal slotted sleeve with strainer cover at top item 2.
Slots in item 2 sufficient to allow waste to drain item 3 when invention is engaged and disengaged. Item 1 is fitted with a support member item 4. Attached to item 4 is a barrel sleeve item 5. Within item S a retractable locking system item 6, bearing against item 2. A push rod item 7 runs within item 5 bearing against item 6 extending through item 4 into the sump item 9 connected to the end of item 7 is a float item 8.
