Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an overflow preventer, and more particularly to an overflow preventer which comprises a plug body receivable into, and fully removable from, a drain hole of for example a bath, sink, basin, cistern or other installation in which water or other liquids are collected and which include a drain hole.
  • Overflow preventers comprise a plug body receivable into, and fully removable from, a drain hole of for example a bath or basin.
  • these devices include a valve which is normally closed, but which can open when a certain predetermined depth of water is exceeded. The device can therefore function as a plug under normal circumstances, and as a water outlet when the water level approaches an overflow condition.
  • a user may start to fill a bath or basin from for example a tap (faucet), and may then be distracted or called away while the filling continues. In such a situation, there exists a real danger of overflow of water. If, however, an overflow preventor is used in place of a conventional plug, the danger is avoided.
  • the valve In the initial rest position of the overflow preventer, the valve is biased closed to form a seal.
  • the hydrostatic pressure on the valve increases.
  • the hydrostatic pressure on the valve gradually increases until a point is reached whereby the pressure on the valve will overcome the bias and urge the valve to open. A flow passage will then be opened and water will drain away. Water will continue to drain away until the hydrostatic pressure of water no longer overcomes the bias. The bias will then act again to urge the valve closed, to prevent unnecessary loss of water through the drain hole.
  • United Kingdom Patent No. 2 338 184 describes another generally similar overflow preventer in which the inner member is biased into the sealing position by a spring acting between the inner member and a base member.
  • the prior art overflow preventers generally suffer from the disadvantages of a relatively restricted water outlet area, as well as no, or only an inconvenient, manually actuable override mechanism. Such an override mechanism could be very useful, to enable a user to drain the bath, basin or the like quickly and conveniently and without having to extract the device from the drain hole.
  • the construction of the prior art devices is generally somewhat elaborate, involving a large number of cooperating parts, leading to increased manufacturing costs, to undesirable bulk and weight of the complete devices, and to a likelihood of internal fungal growth as a result of water being trapped in the mechanisms.
  • a further disadvantage of the prior art overflow preventers arises due to the use of conventional compression springs to bias the valve in the closed position. This results in a valve which may open to varying degrees depending on the hydrostatic pressure. Since it is the aim of such overflow preventers to facilitate the release of water from a vessel into which they are fitted only when the hydrostatic pressure exerted upon the overflow preventer exceeds a certain predetermined value it would be preferable to have a valve which was either "open” or "closed".
  • the nature of conventional compression springs means that as the hydrostatic pressure increases the valve will be allowed to open gradually until it is in the fully open position. Thus such overflow preventers are fairly imprecise and may allow leakage below the intended threshold value.
  • an overflow preventer comprising:
  • a plug body receivable into, and fully removable from, a drain hole, the plug body having a generally annular configuration surrounding an aperture
  • the internal member acts in cooperation with the plug body to define a valve.
  • the term "receivable into, and fully removable from, a drain hole” used herein refers to the requirement that the overflow preventer can be easily inserted into, and removed from, a drain hole, in the general manner of doing so, without the need for adjustment or tampering with the drain hole and associated installations.
  • the plug body preferably has an external surface which is dimensioned and configured for fitting into the drain hole in the general manner of a conventional plug, and in particular has a tapering curved external surface.
  • the overflow preventer further comprises a return mechanism arranged to bear against the underside of the internal member and biased to return the internal member to the first position when the hydrostatic pressure acting on the surface of the internal member in use drops below the predetermined value.
  • the return mechanism comprises a spring and more preferred that the spring is a helical compression spring.
  • the return spring In addition to acting as a return mechanism to return the internal member from the second position back to the first position, the return spring preferably exerts a biasing force on the underside of the internal member when it is in the first position. This biasing force acts in combination with the biasing force of the interference fit to keep the internal member in the first position and the valve closed.
  • the said predetermined value of the hydrostatic pressure, below which the internal member is biased to the closed position can be selected during the manufacturing stage from within a range of values, by the selection of internal members of varying sizes and materials which will be biased to different extents, relative to the interference fit. Selection of return springs of varying strengths would also have the effect of altering the said predetermined value. It would therefore be possible to alter the hydrostatic pressure at which the overflow preventer operates.
  • the plug body and the internal member are arranged such that the internal member extends substantially unshielded across the entire aperture of the plug body.
  • the upwardly directed surface which occludes the aperture is presented to the entire water column above the entire aperture surrounded and defined by the annulus of the plug body with no, or negligible, shielding by overlying fixed parts of the overflow preventer (such as, for example, the "spider web" frame arrays which overlie the valve mechanisms in the prior art referred to above), whereby the valve can easily be opened by a user's finger or toe to override the biasing of the valve to the closed position.
  • the area of the internal member upper surface which in use directly supports a full column of water is equal to at least about 60% of the area within the annulus of the plug body. This surface is thereby accessible for the user to conveniently override the valve.
  • the upper surface of the internal member may have any desired surface configuration. It is most preferred that the configuration of the upper surface is so shaped that, in use at a hydrostatic pressure lower than the predetermined automatic opening value, the valve can be conveniently opened by a depression action of the finger, heel or toe of a user of the bath, sink or the like, to override the resilient biasing of the valve to the closed position.
  • the configuration of the upper surface of the internal member may conveniently be convex, particularly domed.
  • the internal member is resiliently biased to the first position by an interference fit with a substantially annular projection extending from an internal surface of the plug body.
  • the plug body and the internal member are each suitably formed of plastics material which may be the same or different as between the two parts.
  • the internal member for example, may be formed of a durable, flexible material. It is most preferred that the internal member is formed from a rubberised polymer.
  • the overflow preventer may suitably be used in the drain hole of a conventional household pop-up waste system.
  • means are provided whereby the overflow preventer may be lifted out of, and returned into, the drain hole.
  • Such means may take the form of a lever system or a cable operated system. This feature allows the user to release water from the bath or basin without the need to fully remove the overflow preventer from the system.
  • the plug body preferably has an attachment point on its upper surface to which a conventional plug chain may be attached.
  • the plug body of the overflow preventer may suitably be formed from an upper and a lower portion releasably coupled together.
  • the upper and lower portions are coupled together by means of a snap fit connection. This feature facilitates replacement of the internal components of the overflow preventer and allows for the components to be easily cleaned.
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of a first embodiment of an overflow preventer
  • Figure 2 is a sectional view of the overflow preventer of Fig. 1 taken along the diameter;
  • Figure 3 is an exploded sectional view of the overflow preventer of Fig 1 taken along the diameter;
  • Figure 4 is an exploded perspective view of a second embodiment of an overflow preventer.
  • Figure 5 is a sectional view of the second embodiment of an overflow preventer taken along the diameter.
  • the general dimensions of the overflow preventer correspond to the dimensions of a conventional plug, and the illustrated device is intended to be interchangeable with such a plug.
  • the overflow preventer comprises a plug body 1 receivable into and fully removable from, a drain hole of for example a bath, sink, basin, cistern or other installation in which water or other liquids are collected and which include a drain hole.
  • the plug body 1 is formed from a durable plastics material and comprises an upper portion 3 and a lower portion 4 which are releasably coupled together.
  • the upper portion 3 has a generally annular configuration surrounding a circular central aperture 2.
  • the upper surface of the upper portion 3 has a generally convex configuration such that such that in use the outer edge may lie substantially flush with the surface of the bath, basin or other installation to which it is fitted.
  • the upper surface of the plug body is provided with an attachment point 14 to which a conventional plug chain may be attached.
  • the lower portion 4 of the plug body 1 also has a generally annular configuration surrounding the central aperture 2 such that when the valve is opened water may flow through the overflow preventer and through the drain hole.
  • the overflow preventer further includes an internal member 5 located within the space defined by the the upper portion 3 and the lower portion 4 of the plug body 1.
  • the internal member 5 is formed from a durable, flexible material such as a rubberised polymer.
  • the upper surface of the internal member 5 is substantially circular and has a diameter larger than that of the central aperture 2 on the upper surface 3 of the plug body 1.
  • the edges of the internal member are rounded such that they form a lip 6 which extends downwardly into the plug body 1.
  • the lip 6 defines a channel in the internal member 5.
  • a projection 7, in the form of a generally cylindrical member, extends along the central axis of the internal member 5, substantially along the length of the channel.
  • the internal member 5 is resiliently biased into watertight sealing abutment with the inner periphery 8 of the annulus of the upper portion 3 by the combination of an interference fit between the internal member 5 and an internal boss 9 extending from the inner wall of the plug body 1, and a biasing force exerted upon the underside of the internal member 5 by a helical compression spring 13. Approximately 30% of the biasing force is created by the interference fit and approximately 70% is created by the spring 13.
  • the internal boss 9 in the form of an annular member supported by four radially extending supports (not shown), extends inwards from the inner wall of the upper portion 3 of the plug body 1 and defines a central aperture having a diameter smaller than that of the internal member 5 such that an interference fit is created between the outer edge of the internal member 5 inner periphery of the internal boss 9.
  • the strength of the interference fit between the internal member 5 and the internal boss 9 may be varied by varying the diameter of the aperture defined by the internal boss 9 and/or by varying the flexibility of the internal member 5. The more flexible and easily deformed then the less force will be required to force the internal member 5 through the internal boss 9. Conversely, a more rigid internal member 5 will require a greater force to force it through the internal boss 9.
  • the internal member 5 In the first, or closed, position the internal member 5 is located between the internal boss 9 and the upper surface of the upper portion 3 such that a watertight seal is achieved between the internal member 5 and the inner periphery 8 of the annulus of the upper portion 3.
  • the vertical distance between the inner periphery 8 of the annulus of the upper portion 3 and the inner periphery of the annulus of the internal boss 9 is slightly less then the thickness of the internal member 5.
  • the lower portion 4 of the plug body 1 has a cross member 10 extending from the inner wall of the lower portion 4 and traversing the central aperture 2.
  • the branches 11 of the cross member 10 define four segments through which water may flow in use.
  • the branches 11 although traversing the central aperture 2 are sufficiently thin that the flow of water is not impeded.
  • a tubular guide member 12 extends vertically upwards from the centre point of the cross member 10 such that in use at least a portion of the projection 7 on the internal member 5 is located within the tubular guide member 12.
  • the helical compression spring 13 is located within the tubular guide member 12 between the cross member 10, at its lower end, and the internal member 5, at its upper end.
  • the spring 13 is substantially longer than the tubular guide member 12 such that it extends out of the upper end of said guide member 12 and is in contact with the underside of the internal member 5.
  • FIGs. 4 and 5 show a second embodiment of an overflow preventer.
  • the general construction of the overflow preventer is the same as that of the overflow preventer shown in Figs. 1-3.
  • the overflow preventer comprises a plug body formed from an upper portion 3 and a lower portion 4 which are releasably coupled together.
  • the lower portion 4 has a pronounced rim 20 around its periphery which is received in a groove 21 in the upper portion 3. This provides a "snap-fit" interaction between the upper portion 3 and the lower portion 4 which prevents them from coming apart when being removed from the drain hole, even under vacuum.
  • a sealing rib 28 is provided on the underside face of the lower portion 4. This improves the seal with the drain hole and allows sealing with non-standard waste outlets.
  • the main difference between the first and second embodiments is the shape of the internal member 5 and the fact that the interference is provided by projections on the lower portion 4 of the plug body rather than the upper portion 3.
  • the internal member 5 is flatter and resembles and operates more like a washer seal, deforming under force from the interference below, up against the underside of the top portion 3 around the periphery of the central aperture 2.
  • the upper surface of the internal member 5 has a raised central circular portion surrounded by an annular skirt.
  • the internal member 5 may be formed as a one or two piece construction and the raised central portion and annular skirt may be formed from the same or different materials.
  • a central tubular stalk 22 depends downwardly from the underside of the internal member 5.
  • the outer surface of the stalk 22 is provided with an annular ridge 23.
  • the lower portion 4 of the plug body 1 has a cross member 10 extending from the inner wall of the lower portion 4 and traversing the central aperture 2.
  • the branches 11 of the cross member 10 define four segments through which water may flow in use.
  • the branches 11 although traversing the central aperture are sufficiently thin that the flow of water is not impeded.
  • a guide member 24 extends vertically upwardly from the cross member 10.
  • the guide member 24 is in the form of two concentric substantially tubular projections, an inner projection 25 and an outer projection 26, which define a passageway therebetween.
  • the outer projection 26 is provided with an interference boss 27 in the form of a plurality of interference knibs extending into the passageway defined by the inner 25 and outer 26 projections.
  • the stalk 22 of the internal member 5 is located within the passageway 27 such that, in the first position, the annular ridge 23 rests on the interference boss 27 as shown in Fig. 5.
  • the internal member is resiliently biased into watertight sealing abutment with the inner periphery of the annulus of the upper portion 3 by the combination of an interference fit between the annular ridge 23 and the internal boss 27 and a biasing force exerted upon the underside of the internal member 5 by a helical compression spring 13 (not shown in Fig. 5).
  • the helical compression spring 13 is located within the inner tubular projection 25 between the cross member 10, at its lower end, and the internal member 5, at its upper end.
  • the internal member 5 may take up one of two positions within the plug body 1 : a first position, in which the central aperture 2 is closed and a second position, in which the central aperture 2 is open to allow the flow of water through the plug body 1.
  • the internal member 5 is biased into the first position by the combination of the interference fit between the internal member 5 and an internal boss 9, 27 and the force exerted on the underside of the internal member 5 by the compression spring 13.
  • the interference fit is between the outer edge of the internal member 5 and the internal boss 9 and in the second embodiment the interference fit is between the annular ridge 23 on the stalk 22 of the internal member 5 and an interference boss 27 on the guide member 24.
  • the interference fit and the spring 13 which are responsible for resiliently biasing the internal member 5 into the closed position it is only once the interference fit has been broken that the valve is open. Consequently, the interaction between the internal members 5 internal bosses 9, 27 acts as a "trigger" for the operation of the overflow preventer allowing the overflow to be either fully closed or fully open, thus overcoming the problems of incremental valve opening associated with conventional overflow preventers in which the only biasing force is a helical spring.
  • Water is able to flow through the aperture 2 and out the drain hole as before.
  • the spring is biased such that when the hydrostatic pressure acting on the upper surface of the internal member 5 returns below the predetermined value the force of the spring 13 is sufficient to force the internal member 5 back through the internal boss 9, 27 and back into a watertight sealing abutment with the inner periphery 8 of the annulus of the upper portion 3.
  • the interference fit of the internal member 5 with the sealing boss 9, 27 and the return mechanism provided by the spring 13 work as a "trigger” allowing water to escape instantaneously when the hydrostatic pressure exceeds the predetermined value and preventing a gradual loss of water or loss through leakage. This also prevents water escaping with body movement that creates "waving" of the water and thus fluctuations in the head of water.
  • the mechanism operates passively and continuously, requiring no user intervention, opening and closing until the water supply is stopped.
