Overflow valve cover

Abstract

An overflow valve cover includes a planar surface having a first surface and an opposing second surface. The planar surface includes a plurality of openings spaced apart along on the planar surface. An angled slat is positioned within each of the plurality of openings. A top edge of a collar is affixed to the circumference of the planar surface. A connector is positioned on the inner surface of the planar surface and extending away from the second surface.

1 . An overflow valve cover, comprising:
 a planar surface having a first surface and an opposing second surface;   a plurality of openings spaced apart along on the planar surface;   an angled slat positioned within each of the plurality of openings;   a top edge of a collar affixed to the circumference of the planar surface; and   a connector positioned on the inner surface of the planar surface and extending away from the second surface.   
     
     
         2 . The cover of  claim 1 , further comprising at least one opening on at least a portion of the collar. 
     
     
         3 . The cover of  claim 1 , wherein the openings are generally rectangularly-shaped. 
     
     
         4 . The cover of  claim 3 , wherein the openings are of equal lengths. 
     
     
         5 . The cover of  claim 1 , wherein the connector comprises a first curved wall and a second curved wall, wherein the first and second curved walls mirror one another to define a socket. 
     
     
         6 . The cover of  claim 1 , further comprising at least  2  opposing walls extending from the second surface, wherein the opposing walls prevent the rotation of the overflow valve cover when coupled to an outflow valve. 
     
     
         7 . An overflow valve cover, comprising:
 a circular, planar surface having a first surface and an opposing second surface;   a plurality of openings spaced apart on the planar surface;   an angled slat attached to a bottom edge of each of the plurality of openings;   a collar affixed about a circumference of a planar surface;   an opening positioned on at least a portion of the collar; and   a coupling positioned on the inner surface of the planar surface.   
     
     
         8 . The cover of  claim 7 , wherein the openings are generally rectangularly-shaped. 
     
     
         9 . The cover of  claim 8 , wherein the openings are of equal lengths. 
     
     
         10 . The cover of  claim 7 , wherein the coupling comprises a first curved wall and a second curved wall, wherein the first and second curved walls mirror one another to define a socket. 
     
     
         11 . The cover of  claim 7 , further comprising at least  2  opposing walls extending from the second surface, wherein the opposing walls prevent the rotation of the overflow valve cover. 
     
     
         12 . An overflow valve system, comprising:
 an overflow valve cover comprising: a planar surface having a first surface and an opposing second surface; a plurality of openings spaced apart along on the planar surface; an angled slat positioned within each of the plurality of openings; a top edge of a collar affixed to the circumference of the planar surface; and a first connector positioned on the inner surface of the planar surface and extending away from the second surface;   an adapter bar affixable to an overflow drain, the adapter bar including a second connector extending from the adapter bar; and   wherein the first connector of the overflow valve cover engages the second connector of the adapter bar to secure the overflow valve cover over the overflow drain.   
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 12 , wherein the overflow valve cover further comprises at least one opening on at least a portion of the collar. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 12 , wherein the openings of the overflow valve cover are generally rectangularly-shaped. 
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 14 , wherein the openings of the overflow valve cover are of equal lengths. 
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 12 , wherein the first connector comprises a first curved wall and a second curved wall, wherein the first and second curved walls mirror one another to define a socket. 
     
     
         17 . The system of  claim 16 , wherein the second connector comprises a stud insertable into the socket of the first connector. 
     
     
         18 . The system of  claim 12 , wherein the second connector comprises a first curved wall and a second curved wall, wherein the first and second curved walls mirror one another to define a socket. 
     
     
         19 . The system of  claim 18 , wherein the first connector comprises a stud insertable into the socket of the second connector. 
     
     
         20 . The system of  claim 12 , wherein the overflow valve cover further comprises at least  2  opposing walls extending from the second surface, wherein the opposing walls engage the opposing edges of the adapter bar, and wherein the opposing walls prevent the rotation of the overflow valve cover when coupled to an outflow valve.
