Abstract

The present invention relates to a floor drain for draining water from a walk-in floor into a waste water pipe, with an inlet channel socket, a first receiving body for the inlet channel socket, a second receiving body for the first receiving body and a drain housing following the second receiving body in the water drainage direction, which is preferably designed as an odor trap, wherein the first receiving body has a bowl-shaped section, to the outer edge of which a flexible sealing mat is connected in a liquid-tight manner and the bottom of which passes into a first drain connection piece which can be inserted into the second receiving body, wherein the second receiving body has a bowl-shaped section on which an outwardly projecting flange is integrally formed or attached, and wherein the bowl-shaped section of the second receiving body passes into a second drain connection piece.

Claims (27)

1. A floor drain for draining water from a walk-in floor into a sewerage pipe, the floor drain comprising:

an inlet channel socket;

a first receiving body for the inlet channel socket;

a second receiving body for the first receiving body; and

a drain housing following the second receiving body in the water drainage direction,

wherein the first receiving body has a bowl-shaped section having a flexible sealing mat connected in a liquid-tight manner to an outer edge thereof,

wherein a bottom of the bowl-shaped section passes into a first drain connection piece which is configured to be inserted into the second receiving body,

wherein the second receiving body has a bowl-shaped portion on which an outwardly projecting flange is integrally formed or attached, and

wherein the bowl-shaped portion of the second receiving body passes into a second drain connection piece.

2. The floor drain according to claim 1 , wherein the first drain connecting piece comprises an annular seal arranged on the outer circumference thereof.

3. The floor drain according to claim 1 , wherein the bowl-shaped section of the first receiving body and the bowl-shaped section of the second receiving body comprise mutually associated snap-in elements which are configured to be locked together when the bowl-shaped section of the first receiving body is arranged in the bowl-shaped section of the second receiving body.

4. The floor drain according to claim 1 , wherein the bowl-shaped section of the first receiving body and the bowl-shaped section of the second receiving body have at least four pairs of mutually associated snap-in elements which, when the bowl-shaped section of the first receiving body is arranged in the bowl-shaped section of the second receiving body, can be locked together, and wherein four of the snap-in elements are arranged on opposite outer sides of the bowl-shaped section of the first receiving body.

5. The floor drain according to claim 1 , wherein the bowl-shaped section of the first receiving body is dimensioned larger than the inlet channel socket, so that the inlet channel socket is received in the bowl-shaped section so as to be horizontally displaceable relative to the bowl-shaped section of the first receiving body.

6. The floor drain according to claim 5 , wherein the inlet channel socket is received in the bowl-shaped section of the first receiving body so as to be horizontally displaceable in at least two directions, the two directions extending transversely to one another.

7. The floor drain according to claim 1 , wherein the inlet channel socket has at least one circumferential grooves on an outer circumference thereof.

8. The floor drain according to claim 1 , wherein the outwardly projecting flange has at least one groove which runs parallel to an edge of the bowl-shaped section of the second receiving body, the at least one groove being spaced not more than 10 mm from the edge of the bowl-shaped section of the second receiving body.

9. The floor drain according to claim 1 , wherein the second receiving body is rotatable about a vertical axis relative to the drain housing in liquid-tight connection with the drain housing.

10. The floor drain according to claim 9 , wherein a protective cover is configured to cover the bowl-shaped portion of the second receiving body, the protective cover being positively and detachably connected to an edge of the bowl-shaped portion of the second receiving body.

11. The floor drain according to claim 1 , wherein the inlet channel socket has a connecting section on an upper side for positive-locking and/or liquid-tight connection of a water collecting means, and wherein the water collecting means comprises an opening through which collected water can drain off.

12. The floor drain according to claim 1 , comprising a water collecting means having an opening through which collected water can drain off.

13. The floor drain according to claim 12 , wherein the water collecting means comprises an insert receptacle above the bowl-shaped portion of the second receiving body, the insert receptacle configured to positively receive an insert therein, wherein the insert comprises the opening.

14. The floor drain according to claim 1 , wherein the bowl-shaped section of the first receiving body comprises a sieve insert.

15. The floor drain according to claim 8 , wherein the at least one groove is spaced no more than 5 mm from the edge of the bowl-shaped section of the second receiving body.

16. The floor drain according claim 11 , wherein the water collecting means comprises a water collecting body having multiple gradients.

17. The floor drain according to claim 12 , wherein the water collecting means comprises an elongated water collecting body having multiple gradients.

18. The floor drain according to claim 12 , wherein the opening is gap-shaped opening.

19. The floor drain according to claim 1 , wherein the drain housing is designed as an odor trap.
