Abstract
A lavatory system includes a basin configured to receive at least one faucet, the basin defining a primary drain passage and first and second overflow drain passages; and an overflow adapter configured to be mounted to a rear surface of the basin, the overflow adapter defining an adapter passage such that when the overflow adapter is mounted to the basin, fluid received by way of the first overflow drain passage is directed through the adapter passage between the overflow adapter and the rear surface of the basin and to the second overflow drain passage.
Claims23
A lavatory system comprising:
- a basin configured to receive at least one faucet, the basin defining a primary drain passage, a first overflow drain passage, and a second overflow drain passage;
- and
- an overflow adapter configured to be mounted to a rear surface of the basin, the overflow adapter defining an adapter passage such that when the overflow adapter is mounted to the basin, fluid received by way of the first overflow drain passage is directed through the adapter passage between the overflow adapter and the rear surface of the basin and to the second overflow drain passage.
A lavatory system comprising:
- a basin defining a washing area, the basin having a bottom portion and a rear portion having a substantially planar rear surface, wherein the bottom portion defines a primary drain passage, wherein the rear portion defines a first overflow drain passage and a second overflow drain passage, and wherein the second overflow passage extends between the primary drain passage and the substantially planar rear surface;
- one or more faucets coupled to the basin and configured to provide fluid to users of the lavatory system;
- and
- an adapter assembly coupled to the substantially planar rear surface of the basin, the adapter assembly defining an adapter passage, wherein the adapter passage is configured to receive fluid from the first overflow drain passage and direct fluid to the second overflow drain passage;
- wherein the primary drain passage is configured to receive the fluid provided to the adapter assembly from the second overflow drain passage.
An adapter assembly usable with a lavatory basin to form an adapter overflow passage, the adapter assembly comprising:
- a plate having a substantially flat first side and a generally circular periphery;
- a generally circular recess defined by the substantially flat first side and configured to direct fluid between first and second overflow passages of the basin;
- and
- a seal assembly of the substantially flat first side, the seal assembly provided between the recess and the periphery of the plate, wherein the seal assembly is configured to prevent the passage of fluid from the recess, and wherein the seal assembly surrounds the first and second overflow passages of the basin.
