  • Patent number: 9187888
    Abstract: A drain for a wet room, in particular for a shower, includes a drain housing at which an outlet for connecting a drain pipe. In order for a drain of this type to offer a higher drainage capacity in the case of a given drain pipe of standard diameter, the drain housing has a pump for conveying water towards the outlet. The pump is provided with a hydraulic drive. The wet room, in particular a shower, includes a water supply line and a drain of the above-mentioned type.

  • Patent number: 9021628
    Abstract: The invention relates to a drain (1?), in particular for floor level showers, the drain comprising a pot shaped drain housing (1.1) including a shell or pot shaped base component (1.2) without a pipe connection, a laterally disposed pipe connection (1.5) and an inlet opening (1.3) at a top side of the base component, and an immersion pipe (2) which is insertable into the drain housing through the inlet opening (1.3) and defines a stench trap with the drain housing. In order to be able to adapt such a drain to various installation conditions in a flexible manner, so that the installation height, water lock height and drain output of the drain is variable, the invention provides a solution wherein the base component (1.2) is connected in an elevation-adjustable and liquid-tight manner with the drain housing (1.1).

  • Patent number: 5542160
    Abstract: An attachment element is made up of a middle part and two lateral movable parts linked to this middle part. In the middle part, a slot-like recess is provided in order to receive a belt, strap or loop. Using the lateral parts it is then possible for the attachment element to be connected with the flat piece of material. In this respect the middle part is arranged parallel to the edge of the flat piece of material, whereas the two lateral parts fit respectively around the flat piece of material, such as sheeting laying on opposite sides of the flat piece of material. The attachment element is able to be attached adjacent to the flat piece of material in different ways.
