Drain socket
In a drain socket for a toilet stool includes a vertical pipe including an upper end connected with the discharge port of the toilet stool, an adjustable pipe extending substantially horizontally from the lower end of the vertical pipe and a connecting pipe between the adjustable pipe and a drain of a toilet. The vertical pipe has a bend causing the vertical pipe to have at its lower end an axis displaced longitudinally and rearward of the toilet stool from an axis at the upper end to define an eccentrically curved flow path. The flow path includes a part located near the bend and formed by increasing a transverse dimension of a longitudinal front end thereof with respect to the toilet stool so that the part has such a noncircular cross section in which a front portion of the section has a larger area than a rear portion of the cross section.
1. A drain socket for a toilet stool comprising:
a vertical pipe including an upper end connected with a discharge port of the toilet stool, an adjustable pipe extending substantially horizontally from a lower end of the vertical pipe and a connecting pipe between the adjustable pipe and a drain in the floor of a toilet, wherein:
the vertical pipe has a bend causing the vertical pipe to have at a lower end thereof an axis displaced longitudinally and rearward of the toilet stool from an axis thereof at the upper end to thereby define an eccentrically curved flow path; and
the flow path includes a part which is located near the bend and shaped by increasing a transverse dimension of a longitudinal front end thereof with respect to the toilet stool so that said part has such a noncircular cross section in which a front portion of the section has a larger area than a rear portion of the cross section.
2. A drain socket according to claim 1 , wherein the vertical pipe has an upper portion and a lower portion joined together in the vicinity of the bend thereof.
3. A drain socket according to claim 1 , wherein the flow path has, at least in the vicinity of the bend, a cross-sectional contour defined by a greater dimensional reduction as viewed transversely of the toilet stool than as viewed longitudinally of the toilet stool in the direction in which the flow path is eccentrically curved.
4. A drain socket according to claim 2 , wherein the flow path has, at least in the vicinity of the bend, a cross-sectional contour defined by a greater dimensional reduction as viewed transversely of the toilet stool than as viewed longitudinally of the toilet stool in the direction in which the flow path is eccentrically curved.
5. A drain socket according to claim 2 , wherein the lower portion includes a joint forming portion that joins the lower portion to the upper portion, wherein the joint forming portion receives the upper portion.
6. A drain socket according to claim 5 , wherein the joint forming portion is bonded to an insert portion of the upper portion via an adhesive.
7. A drain socket according to claim 5 , wherein the lower portion includes a D shaped cross section.
