Abstract
A device in draining gutters comprises a gutter member (11) adapted to be imbedded in a hole in a floor in relation to the surrounding floor, connectable to a conduit (6) for draining water, said member being adapted to receive water, and an arrangement for sealing the floor covering (8) in relation to the gutter member, for preventing water from finding its way between the latters. This sealing arrangement has means (23, 24, 25) aranged to seal against the floor covering (8) by bearing on the latter from above around an upper water receiving opening (32) of the gutter member.
Claims22
A draining device for a hole in a floor (2) with a floor covering (8), the device comprising:
- (A) a waterproof and water-containing insert (1) adapted to be fixed relative to the floor in the hole, the insert including a side opening in a side wall (5) thereof;
- (B) a waterproof and water-containing gutter member (11) having a water-receiving upper opening (32) and lateral and depth dimensions smaller than an interior of the insert, whereby the gutter member and the insert comprise means to define a space (12) therebetween;
- (C) a conduit disposed to drain from the insert water received from a surrounding floor area, the conduit further comprising:
- tube (7) means for removing water leaking from the pipe and removing it to a shaft, fitted in the opening of the insert and
- a pipe (6), inside and concentric with the tube;
- (D) connecting means (18) for connecting the gutter member to the conduit and the insert;
- (E) draining means (13, 14) for draining water that flows down into the gutter member into the pipe;
- and
- (F) sealing means (23, 24, 25) for preventing water from seeping between the floor covering and the gutter member, the sealing means bearing against an upper surface of the floor covering around the upper opening of the gutter member.
