Definitions

  • the present invention relates to trench drains, more particularly to a modular trench drain including interlocking side members and base segments.
  • Trench drains are used where extensive amounts of liquid must be moved from one location to another and, typically, transport the liquid to a drainage sewer.
  • Trench drains are often U-shaped or V-shaped troughs and are usually installed adjacent to either roadways or buildings. They are installed in the ground and secured in concrete. To prevent injury to people and avoid debris entering the trench drains, a grate often covers the trough.
  • Trench drain systems include several basic designs of concrete, metal and plastic.
  • concrete trench drain systems use forms that are placed in a ditch dug in the ground. Concrete is then poured around the forms, which are removed after the concrete has set. Concrete trench drain systems are relatively expensive systems due to the cost of installing and removing the forms.
  • polymeric trench drains include those manufactured by
  • the FLO-THRU trench drains include a channel member made of a polymeric material, such as either fiberglass or plastic, that defines a flow passageway. Grates are received on the top of the channel member.
  • the trench drain typically is set in concrete and held in place either adjacent a roadbed, sidewalk or building.
  • the present invention includes a trench drain made from modular components that can be attached to one another to form trench drains of various dimensions.
  • the trench drain components include a base and two side members.
  • the trench drain components are made of a polymer such as a high density polyethylene.
  • the side members may be attached to the base by vibratory fusion, mechanical joining, adhesive pinning or channel welding.
  • a frame is then secured to the trench drain segment for receiving a grate and to hold the trench drain segments together.
  • each base includes a portion for connecting with an end of a base of an adjoining drain segment, and one end of each side member connects with an end of a side member of the adjoining drain segment.
  • a plurality of drain segments may be connected together to produce a trench drain.
  • a main wall of the side member is received in a longitudinal slot at the edge of the base.
  • the side of the main wall facing the channel is smooth and the other side is ribbed.
  • the ribs of the main wall are received in notches defined in the longitudinal edges of said base.
  • the base portion for connecting with an end of a base of an adjoining drain segment includes a stepped portion that receives an end of the adjoining drain segment.
  • Each side member includes an end wall having a tab.

It is also to be understood that the specific devices and processes illustrated in the attached drawings, and described in the following specification, are simply exemplary embodiments of the invention. Hence, specific dimensions and other physical characteristics related to the embodiments disclosed herein are not to be considered as limiting.
  • Figs. 1 and 2 show one embodiment of the present invention of a modular trench drain system 2.
  • the trench drain system 2 includes one or more trench drain segments 4 composed of a base 6 and a pair of side members 8.
  • a grate frame 10 is positioned on the side members 8 and extends over one or more of the trench drain segments 4.
  • the base 6 and side members 8 together define a channel 12 for flow of fluid through the trench drain system 2.
  • an upper surface 14 of the base 6 preferably is curved with sloped sides 16 which enhance fluid flow through the channel 12.
  • the base 6 may also have other configurations, such as flat or V-shaped.
  • the underside 18 of the base 6 includes one or more strengthening ribs 20 that may extend the width of the base 6.
  • One end of the base 6 includes a stepped portion 22 that is configured to receive an end 24 of another base 6.
  • two or more bases 6 may be connected together as shown in the detail of Fig. 9.
  • Side member 8 includes a main wall 26, end walls 28 and 30 and an upper ledge 32.
  • Main wall 26 has a smooth side 34 facing the channel 12 and a ribbed side 36 with ribs 38 and 40. Ribs 38 and 40 of ribbed side 36 are shown as being arranged in orthogonal planes, but this is not meant to be limiting.
  • Tabs 42 and 44 extend along the length of end walls 28 and 30, respectively, and are configured to interlock thereby connecting together adjoining side members 8 as shown in the detail of Fig. 8.
  • Main wall 26, end walls 28 and 30, and ribs 38 terminate in a common plane for connection to base 6.
  • the sloped sides 16 of the base 6 terminate in longitudinally extending base slots 46.
  • the base slots 46 are sized and configured to receive the main walls 26 of side members 8.
  • Slots 46 firrther define a plurality of notches 48 for receiving end walls 28, 30 and ribs 38 as shown in Figs. 4 and 5B.
  • the base 6 and the side members 8 are made of polymeric material, such as high density polyethylene.
  • the side members 8 may be secured to the base 6 via welding, such as vibratory fusion, mechanical and/or channel welds, or an adhesive.
  • Figs. 1, 2 and 7 show two trench drain segments 4 secured to each other by interlocking the tabs 42, 44 of the side member end walls 28, 30 and overlapping the stepped portion 22 of one base 6 by end 24 of an adjoining base 6.
  • the trench drain segments 4 may be produced in a variety of dimensions. For typical fluid drainage, each of the trench drain segments 4 is about forty inches long.
  • Upper ledge 32 of the side member 8 defines fastener receiving holes 50 that may be internally threaded.
  • the grate frame 10 which is typically made of metal, is secured to one or more trench drain segments 4; two trench drain segments 4 are shown as attached to one grate frame 10 in Figs. 1 and 2.
  • the grate frame 10 includes two spaced apart angle brackets 52 with Nelson studs 54 extending therefrom.
  • the angle brackets 52 are secured to a plurality of C-shaped members 56 having depending legs 58.
  • the grate frame 10 is secured to ledge 32 via fasteners (not shown) extending through frame holes 60 defined in the angle brackets 48 and ledge holes 50. It will be appreciated that other configurations for the grate frame are possible for use in the trench drain system.
  • a grate (not shown) may be received between the angle brackets 52.
  • the depending legs 58 of the C-shaped members 56 can be attached to rebar in a manner well-known in the art and are adapted to be received in concrete.
  • the Nelson studs 54 are similarly adapted to be received in concrete poured around the trench drain system 2.
  • the ribs 38, 40 of the side members 8 and the base ribs 20 also provide structures and surfaces for securing the trench drain system 2 to concrete.
  • a plastic pipe or other spacer materials such as Styrofoam or wood (not shown), may be installed in the channel 12 between the side members 8 to prevent collapse of the trench drain system 2 during installation. The spacer material is then removed after concrete has set around the trench drain system 2.
  • An advantage of the present invention is that the width of the trench drain system 2 can be easily modified by providing bases 6 in various widths. Hence, the same side members 8 can be utilized whether a trench drain system 2 is fourteen inches wide, twenty- four inches wide or any other width.
  • the present invention reduces the cost of manufacturing conventional polymeric trench drains that require a separate mold for each size of trench drain.
  • the bases 6 can either be sloped or straight, the same side members 8 may be used for either configuration.
  • the base 6 may be produced in various widths, the side members 8 may also be produced in varying heights to accommodate particular installation requirements.
  • the present invention provides for interchangeability of the base 6 and the side members 8.
