Drainage Outlet for Installation in a Floor Opening of a Shower Stall

Abstract

A drainage outlet for installation in a floor opening of a shower stall. The drainage outlet includes an inlet part to be inserted in the floor opening that has an inlet opening open toward the top, into which a cover element is inserted, the height of which, inside the inlet opening, can be adjusted, and which covers the inlet opening while exposing at least one level opening. The cover element is rigidly connected, at the underside thereof, to a plurality of threaded sleeves, each having an internal thread. Threaded bushings, each having an external thread and interior cavity, are screwed adjustably over the partial lengths thereof into the internal threads of the threaded sleeves, the threaded bushings protruding downwardly from the threaded sleeves. The inlet part is provided with positioning pins, over which the interior cavities of the threaded bushings extend. A threaded sleeve, a threaded bushing, and a positioning pin together form an adjustment element.

1 . A drainage outlet ( 100 ) for installation in a floor opening ( 4 ) of a shower stall, comprising an inlet part ( 1 ) to be inserted in the floor opening that has an inlet opening open toward the top, into which a cover element is inserted, the height of which, inside the inlet opening, can be adjusted, and which covers the inlet opening while exposing at least one level opening, characterized in that
 the cover element ( 5 ) is rigidly connected, at the underside thereof, to a plurality of threaded sleeves ( 9 ), each having an internal thread ( 9 . 1 );   threaded bushings ( 10 ), each having an external thread ( 10 . 2 ) and interior cavity ( 10 . 1 ), are screwed adjustably over the partial lengths thereof into the internal threads ( 9 . 1 ) of the threaded sleeves ( 9 ), the threaded bushings protruding downwardly from the threaded sleeves ( 9 ), and   the inlet part is provided with positioning pins ( 8 ), over which the interior cavities ( 10 . 1 ) of the threaded bushings extend,   wherein a threaded sleeve ( 9 ), a threaded bushing ( 10 ), and a positioning pin ( 8 ) together form an adjustment element ( 7 ).   
     
     
         2 . The drainage outlet according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the positioning pins ( 8 ) are connected to a flange rim ( 2 ) of the inlet part ( 1 ). 
     
     
         3 . The drainage outlet according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the cover element ( 5 ) is provided at least partially with an angled edge flange. 
     
     
         4 . A drainage outlet according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the positioning pins ( 8 ) have a cylindrically rounded configuration and are tapered toward the top, but the threaded bushings ( 10 ) extend thereover without play. 
     
     
         5 . A drainage outlet according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the cover element ( 5 ) with the threaded sleeve ( 9 ) is associated with removable threaded bushings ( 10 ) that can be selected according to the lengths thereof. 
     
     
         6 . A drainage outlet according to  claim 1 , characterized in that, in the case of a round inlet opening, at least three adjustment elements ( 7 . 1 ,  7 . 2 ,  7 . 3 ,  7 . 4 ) are disposed peripherally on the inlet part ( 1 ) in a radially symmetrical manner. 
     
     
         7 . A drainage outlet according to  claim 1 , characterized in that, with an inlet opening in the shape of a longitudinal channel having a U-shaped channel-like inlet part that is provided with a bottom, at least two adjustment elements ( 7 . 1 ,  7 . 2 ,  7 . 3 ,  7 . 4 ) connect the bottom of the inlet part ( 1 ) to the underside of the elongated cover element ( 5 ). 
     
     
         8 . A drainage outlet for installation in a floor opening of a shower stall, comprising
 an inlet part that is insertable into the floor opening that has an inlet opening open toward the top, into which a cover element is inserted, the height of which, inside the inlet opening, can be adjusted, and which covers the inlet opening while exposing at least one level opening,   wherein the cover element is rigidly connected, at the underside thereof, to a plurality of threaded sleeves each of which has an internal thread,   wherein threaded bushings, each of which has an external thread and interior cavity, are screwed adjustably over partial lengths thereof into the internal threads of the threaded sleeves so that the threaded bushings protrude downwardly from the threaded sleeves,   wherein the inlet part includes positioning pins over which the interior cavities of the threaded bushings extend, and   wherein one of the threaded sleeves, the threaded bushings, and the positioning pins together form an adjustment element.
