CROSS-REFERENCE TO A RELATED APPLICATION

The present application claims priority to and benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 63/029,318 filled May 22, 2020, entitled “Shower Floor Addition Square Cap Converter”, the entire content of which incorporated herein by reference.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Field of the Invention

The present invention generally relates to fixed and adjustable shower floor drains. More particularly, the present invention relates to replacing an existing current floor drain converting and especially to changing the current round drain to a quadrangular drain, thereby mechanically not removing the existing current drain assemblage, concrete and tile.

Description of Related Art

Shower floor drains are frequently round in form. Floor drain assemblages have many forms and functions. The most common drains are fixed or adjustable; comprised of “pvc” plastic body connected to a fixed “pvc” drain pipe. Fixed drains have a sleeve larger than the fixed pipe, with glue applied on the outside of the drain assemblage, slid or inserted over the fixed drain pipe, bonding the two structures, together. Adjustable drains have a similar installation method, having a secondary screw in adjustable top unit.

Shower floors are installed typically by a tile contractor installer via the method of adjusting the shower floor drain assemblage. The first step in adjusting is conducted either by cutting the drain pipe that is glued to the molded drainage pipe, or by screwing or un-screwing the drain unit. The second step is to adjust the height of the drain assemblage in order to provide proper slope from the bottom edge of the floor tile and the drain assembly. The last step involves “mudding”, which is the mixing of sand and Portland cement. Once the “mud” is formed, a semi-level surface is shaped from the edge of the floor drain assemblage upwards towards the tiled wall. This procedure assures that the water gravitates towards the drain in order to assure water does not pool in the shower basin.

Over time, shower floors begin to show stress in the tile, grout joints, and around the drain assemblage. Home owners often decide to replace entire shower floors due to tile staining, tile damage, and the accumulation of mold around the drain's grout joints. In order to replace the tile around the drain, a tile contractor is requested to remove the concrete “mud bed”, and replace the drain assemblage. Additionally, due to changes in taste, square drains are replacing round drains.

There are numerous products on the market for replacing the floor drains. One example is a drain extension, which is a ¼ inch thick “pvc” plastic ring that bolts down to the existing floor drain. After removing the thin metal drain grate the plastic ring provides a new surface for which new tile can be placed on top of the existing shower floor. This product provides a supplementary layer of tile thereby not removing combined parts of the shower floor. Another example is a system of not removing the combined existing tile and mud bed. This involves removing a small area around the drain assemblage, taking out the combined drain assembly, and replacing it with a drain unit. Concrete “mud bed” is set in addition to the removed portions and a new layer of tile is installed on top of the existing tiled shower floor. The last example involves removing concrete “mud bed” and tiles in a small area around the drain, un-screwing the existing current drain, then replacing the drain with a screw-in type drain. After the screw-in drain is installed, new concrete is set and a layer of tile is installed on top of the existing tiled shower floor.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention directed to a shower floor addition square cap converter for and method of creating a second layer of tile on a present shower tiled floor and changing the current round drain to a square drain. The drain addition is quadrangular in shape, thin vertical walls to contain a drain grate, very thin horizontal flanges extending outward from the vertical quadrangular walls, to provide a support plate. Within the vertical walls is a support latent ledge, a thin sloped structured floor, leading to a round drain cone for the water to drain threw the underside of the unit.

There has thus been outlined broadly, some of the features of the invention in order that the detailed description thereof may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better esteemed. There are additional features of the invention that will be described hereinafter.

In this respect, before explaining at least one embodiment of the invention in detail, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited in its application to the details of construction or to the arrangements of the components set forth in the following description or illustrated in the drawings. The invention is capable of other embodiments and of being practiced and carried out in various ways. Also, it is to be understood that the phraseology and terminology employed herein are for the purpose of the description be compelled to and not be regarded as limiting.

It has been recognized that it would be advantageous to develop a shower floor addition square cap converter that prevents the removal of the existing combined shower floor tile, concrete and current drain assembly, “thereby not bonding”; by means of mechanically interlacing the drain assembly's underside to the current drain.

It has also been recognized that it would be advantageous to develop a shower floor drain addition square cap converter that is easily installed by simply removing the existing round shower drain grate and placing the shower drain addition units underside on top of the existing current shower drain assembly and tiled floor.

It has also been recognized that it would be advantageous to develop a shower floor drain addition square cap converter, which substitutes a round shower drain and converts it to a square drain thereby not removing the current drain assemblage.

It has also been recognized that it would be advantageous to develop a shower floor drain addition square cap converter, which allows an easy installation of an drain cap, by removing the existing drain grate and simply drop in or set into the current drain unit assembly, allowing for a supplementary layer of tile to be installed on the existing tiled floor.

Other objects and advantages of the present invention will become obvious to the reader and it is intended that these objects and advantages are within the scope of the present invention. To the accomplishment of the above and related objects, this invention may be embodied in the form illustrated in the accompanying drawings, attention being called to the fact, it is possible and possible that the drawings are illustrative, and that changes may be made in the specific construction illustrated and described within the scope of this application.
