Abstract
A draining gutter, which is adapted to be placed in a floor of a space inside a building for conducting drain water away from the space through a draining conduit (3) connected thereto, has channel (15) adapted to conduct air from the space to the draining conduit upon influence of air present in the conduit away from the space. The draining gutter has also an arrangement (11, 13, 14) for adjusting the air flow resistance of the channel.

A draining gutter adapted to be placed in a floor of a space (1) inside a building for conducting drain water away from the space through a draining conduit (3) connected thereto, characterized in channel means (15) in the gutter and adapted to conduct air from the space for ventilation thereof to the draining conduit upon influencing air present in the conduit for flow through the conduit in the direction away from the space, and an arrangement (11-14, 25-27) for adjusting the air flow resistance of said channel means.
A draining gutter adapted to be placed in a floor of a space (1) inside a building for conducting drain water away from the space through a draining conduit (3) connected thereto, comprising:
- channel means (15) in the gutter and adapted to conduct air from the space for ventilation thereof to the draining conduit upon influencing air present in the conduit for flow therethrough in the direction away from the space,
- an arrangement (11-14, 25-27) for adjusting the air flow resistance of said channel means,
- a gutter member (9) for receiving fluids, such as water, intended to be arranged in a hole (8) in a floor and immersed with respect to the surrounding floor and connectable to the draining conduit,
- means (29) adapted to form a closing of the gutter member at the lower region thereof for collecting fluid entering the gutter member from above, and
- means (28) adapted to keep the closing means preloaded in the closing position in absence of fluid collected in the gutter member and to allow opening of a connection in the lower part of the gutter member between an upper opening of the gutter member (9) and the draining conduit (3) besides the channel means (15) upon reaching a predetermined level of a fluid column in the gutter member.
A draining gutter adapted to be placed in a floor of a space (1) inside a building for conducting drain water away from the space through a draining conduit (3) connected thereto, comprising:
- channel means (15) in the gutter and adapted to conduct air from the space for ventilation thereof to the draining conduit upon influencing air present in the conduit for flow therethrough in the direction away from the space,
- an arrangement (11-14, 25-27) for adjusting the air flow resistance of said channel means,
- a gutter member (9) for receiving fluids, such as water, intended to be arranged in a hole (8) in a floor and immersed with respect to the surrounding floor and connectable to the draining conduit,
- a second gutter member (26) is arranged at a distance outside the gutter member so as to form said channel means (15) therebetween,
- means (27) for displacing and adjusting the second gutter member with respect to the one first mentioned so as to adjust the free cross-section of the channel means.
A draining gutter adapted to be placed in a floor of a space (1) inside a building for conducting drain water away from the space through a draining conduit (3) connected thereto, comprising:
- channel means (15) in the gutter and adapted to conduct air from the space for ventilation thereof to the draining conduit upon influencing air present in the conduit for flow therethrough in the direction away from the space,
- an arrangement (11-14, 25-27) for adjusting the air flow resistance of said channel means,
- members (20-24) for a tight connection of fire-fighting equipment to a hole in a floor, in which the draining gutter is intended to be arranged, for enabling pumping of a fire-fighting agent, such as water, through the draining conduit (3) and up through the gutter.
A drain system for a building, comprising:
- a drain in a floor of a room in the building;
- a conduit connected to the drain for directing liquid away from the drain;
- and
- a fan operatively connected to the conduit for creating an air flow from the room and through the drain and conduit.
