ADJUSTABLE OVERFLOW CLOSURE DEVICE

摘要

An overflow for a tub or basin includes a bracket and a movable cover. A water passageway is disposed through the bracket. The cover is attached to the bracket and translatably movable by a user. A drain aperture is disposed through the cover. An edge is disposed along a perimeter of the cover with a channel disposed on an inside edge surface. The bracket includes a flexure or a pin biased by a spring. When the cover is attached to the bracket the flexure or pin is partially disposed within the channel creating a force biasing the cover to remain attached to the bracket. Alternatively, a magnet may be used to bias the cover to the bracket. When the cover is in an open position, water can flow through both the bracket and the cover. When the cover is in a closed position, it blocks the flow of water.

主权项

1. A closeable overflow for a tub or a basin, comprising:
a bracket attachable to an inside vertical surface of the tub or the basin, the bracket defining a flat front bracket surface opposite a flat back bracket surface, the flat back bracket surface configured to abut the inside vertical surface of the tub or the basin with the flat front bracket surface facing outwardly into the tub or the basin; at least one fixture aperture disposed through the bracket extending to and between the flat front and back bracket surfaces; at least one water passageway disposed through the bracket extending to and between the flat front and back bracket surfaces; a cover attachable to the bracket and translatably movable by a user along a plane of the flat front bracket surface, the cover defining a flat front cover surface opposite a flat back cover surface; at least one drain aperture disposed through the cover extending to and between the flat front and back cover surfaces; wherein the cover moved by the user to an open position has at least a portion of the at least one drain aperture of the cover overlapping at least a portion of the at least one water passageway of the bracket; and wherein the cover moved by the user to a closed position does not have at least a portion of the at least one drain aperture of the cover overlapping at least a portion of the at least one water passageway of the bracket.
