  • Patent number: 10948374
    Abstract: A tub drain overflow test system employs a kit with a connecting pipe with a front cylindrical portion having an inner threading and an intermediate annular flange coaxial with the front cylindrical portion. The front cylindrical portion extends through an overflow hole of a tub so that the annular flange, optionally with a seal ring, abuts the rear surface of the tub wall. A test cap has outer threading that mates with inner threading of the front cylindrical portion. The test cap has an annular flange and a breakaway test seal with a projecting grip tab. The test cap has an inner lip that provides a catch for inwardly extending tabs on a fixture to attach. The test cap allows the overflow drain to be tested. A seal portion is removed to provide access to the opening and the finishing fixture is mounted in place.

The front cylindrical portion extends through an overflow hole of a tub so that the annular flange, optionally with a seal ring, abuts the rear surface of the tub wall. A test cap has outer threading that mates with inner threading of the front cylindrical portion. The test cap also has an annular flange and a breakaway test seal with a projecting grip tab. The test cap has an inner lip that provides a catch for inwardly extending tabs on a finishing fixture to robustly attach. The test cap allows the overflow drain to be tested and then a seal portion is removed to provide access to the opening and the finishing fixture is mounted in place.

  • Publication number: 20170252239
    Abstract: An adjustable chair assembly comprising a frame, a seat assembly, a back assembly and at least one of a seat space-filling element and a back space-filling element. The seat assembly extends along a seat plane and comprises a first seat element and a second seat element adjustably positionable with respect to one another along the seat plane and together defining a support surface of the seat assembly. The back assembly extends along a back plane and comprises a first back element and a second back element adjustably positionable with respect to one another along the back plane and together defining a support surface of the back assembly. A central gap is defined in at least one of the support surfaces and the at least one of the seat space-filling element and the back space-filling element is removably insertable in the central gap of the corresponding support surface.
