Abstract
The surface drain has a cup-shaped drain body (14) which is securely cast into a concrete slab (10). A cylindrical inset (20) in form of a disk is fitted in the concrete slab and rotatable about the axis of the drain body. Fitted in the disk is also a rotatable cylindrical part (31) of a square frame (30) which receives a grate. When laying the tiles, the square sides of the grate frame can be set parallel to the joints of the tiles by turning the grate frame. Since the cylindrical inset (20) has an eccentric inner cylinder (24) for receiving the cylinder (31), a turning of the cylindrical inset in the concrete slab permits the square sides of the grate to coincide with the coordinates of the tile joints.
Claims6
A surface drain for a tiled floor, comprising:
- a drain body (14) defining an axis (11);
- an inset (20, 45) in axial alignment with the drain body (14) and being rotatable about the axis of the drain body, with the inset (20, 45) including an inner cylinder (24, 46) defining an axis (31a) extending eccentrically relative to the axis (11) of the drain body;
- and
- a grate frame (30) mounted in the cylinder (24, 46), with the grate frame (30) and the inset (20, 45) being separately rotatable for respectively providing an effective positional adjustment of the grate frame (30) relative to the tiles.

- and
- a grate frame (30) mounted in the cylinder (24, 46) and defining an axis (30a) which extends essentially at a same eccentricity relative to the axis (31a) of the cylinder (31) as the axis (11) of the drain body.
