Base part for stalls
A base part for a shower stall or a kitchen includes a floor with a peripheral side extending from a top thereof and the peripheral side includes an installation portion which includes an installation side and a fixing side. The installation side has a flat and horizontal top surface and a groove is defined in the flat and horizontal top surface of the installation side such that wall such as glass wall is engaged. The fixing side is connected to a wall. The floor includes protrusions extending from a top surface thereof so as to form a non-slip surface. A drain hole is defined through the floor when necessary.
The present invention relates to a base part for a stall such as a shower stall, the base part provides grooves for glass wall and/or door to be installed and drain hole for draining.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONA conventional doorsill generally includes a base part which is fixed on the floor between two sides of a door case and an elongate stop extends from the top surface of the base part so that the door can be stopped by the elongate stop. The elongate stop includes an inclined surface and the door is secured a rubber plate on a lower end thereof so as to match with the inclined surface to prevent from water entering the interior and entrance of bugs. However, the elongate stop has only one side to connect the door and there is no support on the other side of the elongate stop. The elongate stop tends to loose after being frequent hit by the door. Besides, the conventional doorsill can only used to prevent water from entering the room from outside of the door and cannot used for a shower stall or kitchen where water may stay on the floor and should be stopped to flow out.
The present invention intends to provide a base part for shower stalls or kitchens and the base part is an integral part with grooves for glass wall to be installed and raised sides and drain hole to prevent water from flowing out from the inside of the shower stall or kitchen.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONThe present invention relates to a base part for a shower stall or a kitchen and the base part comprises a floor with a peripheral side extending from a top thereof The peripheral side includes an installation portion which has an installation side with a flat and horizontal top surface. A groove is defined in the flat and horizontal top surface of the installation side so that a wall can be installed to the groove. The floor includes protrusions extending from a top surface thereof so as to form a non-slip surface.
The primary object of the present invention is to provide a base part for a shower stall or a kitchen and the base part includes peripheral wall for being installed with walls and door, the floor includes a non-slip surface and a drain hole. The base part effectively prevents water from leaking from inside to outside of the shower stall or kitchen.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a base part for a shower stall or a kitchen wherein the glass wall is inserted into the groove and clamped by the two sidewalls of the groove so that it is secured and free of leakage.
Yet object of the present invention is to provide a base part for a shower stall or a kitchen wherein the installation side of the peripheral wall can be made to desired shapes so as to meet requirements of different installation needs.
The present invention will become more obvious from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings which show, for purposes of illustration only, a preferred embodiment in accordance with the present invention.
Referring to
A wall such as a glass wall or any known wall used in interior design is securely inserted into the groove 22 and the wall can be cooperated with a bolt as shown in
As shown in
While we have shown and described the embodiment in accordance with the present invention, it should be clear to those skilled in the art that further embodiments may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
