Description

Installation procedure of a sump with bomb.

The present invention relates to a installation procedure of a sump with pump, in particular  for fixing to a floor covered with a mortar and to which you can fix a floor covering material resistant to Water.

Recently, the use is becoming fashionable of "wet soil" floor coverings. These typically employ the Altro ™ coating, or some other kind of rigid plastic material, which can be cold welded to provide a seamless floor covering and waterproof.

This type of flooring is especially useful in bathrooms for the disabled, disabled or sick who find themselves with great impediments when entering and Get out of the bathroom or shower. By incorporating a waterproof floor covering arranged in the room bathroom, a shower chair or a wheelchair can simply be placed under the shower head, and can each other start showering without being too worried about Splashes or sprays. To allow proper drainage, the water resistant floor covering is provided with a down that acts to channel the drain water to a drain constituted in the flooring.

A problem associated with installing a Seamless water resistant floor covering occurs when trying to adapt an appropriate drain drain inside of the existing soil. Often, a sink requires depth of relatively considerable soil to enable installation, and an opening has to be constituted in the ground, in which the Sump can be located. The constitution of the opening can often be problematic, especially when the ground is concrete. If the floor is covered with mortar, the opening has to become both the mortar and the floor of concrete.

An additional difficulty arises during the installation as often a form is available through the which generates a fall that runs to the sink. The former it has to be properly supported and its edges have to be coplanar with the ground to provide type access to entry level. The use of a form increases costs and its installation implies that it is lowered into the ground, which is problematic like any type of flooring. If there is a concrete floor covered with a mortar, the mortar has to be removed and then refurbished around the former.

From document US6085779A it is known the system of providing a drainage channel adapted to be located in a floor space inside a building. The gutter drainage is used as a means of exhaust air and a fan is included to promote ventilation through the plumbing, thus preventing the growth of bacteria, mold and fungus. However, drainage is not provided with bomb.

Document DE3627807 discloses a sump of gravity debris embedded in a concrete slab. I dont know proposes no waste media with pump.

Document FR8003798 refers to a pumping of sewer, and discloses a pump located in a well located by under the inlet pipe of dirty water.

Document FR8100659 proposes a toilet siphon. The siphon fails if the liquid supply is interrupted. The The present invention is directed to wet floor installations in rooms with shower, and this arrangement is therefore unfeasible.

The document EP-A-620331 discloses a pump that It is located below the drain of a shower tray in which You have to enter. This is inappropriate for concrete applications of wet floor.

The document GB-A-2310374 proposes a device which draws waste water vertically upwards from within from a shallow collector. This provision is impractical for lower the concrete, and does not refer to areas of wet soil.

Document DE2714626 refers to the overcoming the back pressure in drainage drains with downs Shallow A pump is proposed to prevent recoil during periods of high flow.

This provision does not refer to applications of rooms with wet shower.

The present invention seeks to overcome the problem of installing a sump in or on a floor of concrete covered with mortar.

In accordance with the present invention, provides a procedure for installing a pump sump  on a floor that includes a mortar coating and on which a floor covering material resistant to Water. The sump comprises a collector, a water inlet of waste through which waste water enters the collector, a waste water outlet. Likewise, a pump is arranged to aspirate at least a portion of said waste water from the collector through the waste water outlet. The sink it comprises means to secure the lining material of the floor to the collector, and one or more fasteners by means of which the collector, in use, can be secured to the ground.

The claimed procedure for installing the sump with pump on a floor that has a lining of mortar, includes the stages of:

to)

the removal of the mortar to a depth sufficient to accommodate the sump with pump,

b)

the installation of the sump with pump in the opening created by the removal of the mortar in step (a), and

C)

the mortar lining replacement to include a descent towards the sump (10).

Distinctive distinctive features and / or Optional of the present invention are set forth in the claims 2 to 7, inclusive.

The invention of more concrete mode, by way of example, with reference to the drawings that are accompanied, in which:

Figure 1 is a perspective view from above an embodiment of a sump with pump, used in accordance with the present invention;

Figure 2 is a perspective view in exploded view of the sump with pump shown in Figure one;

Figure 3 is a side sectional view of the sump with pump shown in Figure 1;

Figure 4 is a perspective view from below the sump with pump shown in Figure 1; Y

Figure 5 is a side sectional view of the Sump with pump shown in Figure 1, when in use.

With reference to the drawings, they are shows a sump with pump 10, which is typically pumped by injection from a plastic material, and comprises a manifold 12, a waste water inlet 14, a water outlet of waste 16, a pump (not shown), a means to secure the sump 10 a floor covering material resistant to water, and a fixing element 20.

The manifold 12 has a stepped profile that includes a skirt 22 extending from the upper edge 24 of the stepped profile to a level below the inner bottom surface 26 of the manifold 12. The element of fixing 20 is in the form of an annular flange 28 which is integrally formed on the lower edge 30 of the skirt 22 and that extends outward on a level that is also below the inner bottom surface 26 of the manifold 12.

Ring flange 28 includes one or more openings 32 through which devices can be inserted fastener 29 (shown in Figure 5), typically screwed

The manifold 12 may also include one or more support elements 33 (shown in Figure 4) shaped on or adjacent to the bottom surface 26 of the manifold 12. The support elements 33, in use, contact a support surface on which sump 10 is mounted and help maintain the structural integrity of the sump 10 when subjected to a downward force, such as the transmitted by a person standing on the sump 10.

Waste water outlet 16 is, typically integrally, formed on the collector side 12. This allows the depth of the collector to be reduced 12. The waste water outlet 16 has an opening 34 (shown in the Figure 3) practiced through it and has the precise size to fit with a discharge tube 17, typically in the form of tighten fit. An appropriate adhesive can be used to secure the discharge pipe 17 to the waste water outlet 16. The discharge tube 17 leads to the pump and can be flexible for Help your installation.

The means of assurance is presented typically in the form of a clamp element 18 which, in use, it sits on a horizontal surface 36 of one of the steps of the staggered profile of the collector 12. The surface horizontal 36 is above the outer surface 26 of the manifold 12. The clamp element 18 is annular and has a upwardly inclined peripheral edge 38 that is parallel or substantially in parallel with the lower surface of the skirt 22 of manifold 12. Clamp element 18 includes likewise an opening 40 which is part of the water inlet of waste 14, and of the openings 42 through which they can fixing devices 44, typically screwed to mechanically secure the clamp element 18 with the collector 12.

The means of assurance could adopt the form of an appropriate adhesive instead of the clamp element 18. However, in use, the clamp element 18 tends to Provide a more positive fixation.

The sump with pump 10 also includes a removable cover 46 which is housed inside the clamp element  18 and of manifold 12 so that the inner bottom surface 26 of manifold 12 is covered or substantially covered. The lid 46 includes a plurality of openings 48 which, together with the opening 40 of the clamp element 18, serve to define waste water inlet 14. Cap 46 also includes a or more openings 50 through which a fixing device 52, typically screwed, to ensure cover 46 to manifold 12.

To install the sump with pump 10, on or on the concrete floor covered with a lid, it must be decided first term where the sump should be located 10. Located the mortar in, and in the immediate vicinity of, this position, is then removed to a depth sufficient to accommodate the sump 10 to a level below the upper surface 54 (see Figure 5) of the pre-existing coating mortar 56. Typically, this will involve the removal of mortar 56 to the level of the concrete floor 58 on which the mortar is arranged 56. However, if the coating mortar 56 has the sufficient depth, a recess (not shown) may also be formed in concrete of concrete floor 58.

Sump 10 is then located inside of the generated opening and fixing devices are inserted through the openings 32 of the fixing element 20 and inside the concrete floor or the material that supports the sump 10, thereby fixing the sump 10 in position.

The discharge pipe, connected to the outlet of the waste water 16, is also located inside the opening generated by the mortar removed, and is connected to the pump the which is typically in a position distant from the sump 10.

The coating mortar, indicated by reference numeral 60, is then repositioned in the opening. During relocation, a drop is included in direction to sink 10.

Plastic waterproof material rigid (not shown), which is typically, for example, Altro ™,  It can then be placed on the ground covered with mortar. He waterproof material is mechanically held between the manifold 12 and clamp element 18 by employing clamping devices 44 of the clamp element, and is cold welded around the edges of the existing ground to Create a seamless coating.

The sump pump 10 operates to aspirate the minus a portion of the wastewater, which enters the collector 12 through the waste water inlet 14, through the opening 34 of the waste water outlet 16 and along the discharge tube 17 to a drain (not shown). The bomb or the discharge tube 17 typically includes a non-return valve (no shown) to prevent the recoil of odors through the waste water outlet 16, and pump operation is attached to the operation of, for example, a shower that is going to be used in combination with the resistant floor covering the water.

The end of the waste water outlet 16 which flows into the manifold 12 can also include a partition element (not shown), which flows into the collector 12 at a level below a level of waste water contained in collector 12. This also helps to avoid odors.

In a modification of the embodiment, the fixing element 20 could be shaped in a position that was on the upper edge 24 of the manifold 12 and / or in intermediate position between upper edge 24 and surface lower internal 26. However, as is evident, one or more appropriate support elements (not shown), such as a separator, may have to be placed between the fixing element 20 and the ground to provide stability.

In a further modification of the form of embodiment, the support elements 33 could be suppressed, thereby enabling the outer surface 26 of the manifold 12 conformed in a coplanar or substantially coplanar manner with the fixing element 20.

It should be understood that the fixing element does not is limited to an annular flange 28. The fixing element could be also shaped projecting from the bottom surface external 27 of manifold 12, and may not require devices of fixation as soon as the repositioning of the cover could be used to cover the fixing element and thereby maintain the sump with pump in position.

Therefore, a sump with pump which, taking advantage of the shallow depth of the collector, can be installed at the level of the coating mortar of a concrete floor, which can be fixed in position same level or below the level of the inner bottom surface from your collector. It is also possible to generate the descent towards the sump installed without the need of a feeder.

The embodiments described in the previous lines are offered by way of example only and their various modifications will be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the invention as defined in the attached claims.
