Two parallel plates are arranged spaced apart, a lower plate being fixed in the water collection trough and an upper plate being fixed above the edge of the water collection trough. The edge of the upper plate projects beyond the edge of the water collection trough in such a way that, to form a closed flow in the drainage pipe.

  • Patent number: 5121509
    Abstract: The overflow and drain fitting has a drain pipe (10), into which a closing plug (4), a float (3), as well as a mushroom-shaped plug (2) are inserted. The closing plug (4) can be lifted via bars (15), thus opening a partition (10b) between a riser channel (6b) and a return channel (6c) of a hidden riser pipe (6). With a sealing edge (2c) of a mushroom-shaped plug (2), the float (3) forms a check valve, which prevents water that may be contaminanted from returning into the basin (5). The closing plug (4), the float (3), and the mushroom-shaped plug (2) are loosely connected to each other via grasping arms (4b, 3b) and can be lifted out of the drain pipe (10) together as one unit to clean the fittings.
