, Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] Embodiments of a present disclosure relate to water draining process, and more particularly to an apparatus to drain water.
BACKGROUND
[0002] The term drainage system refers to an arrangement used for removal of water from a building. The drainage facilities are major elements of civil engineering and construction projects and it is necessary to avoid flooding on the building. Normally, water is conveyed by drains to sewers, and from sewers to a suitable outfall or treatment plant.
[0003] In a conventional approach, a Nani trap (drainer) plays an important role, but the conventional approach needs a lot of Intermediate fittings to connect the Nani trap to the drainpipe which makes the conventional approach complex. The conventional approach may lead to leakages in future due to lot of intermediate fittings. The conventional approach needs a lot of labour to fix the intermediate fittings which makes the conventional approach expensive as such an approach also requires additional hardware.
[0004] In some other approach, the drainers (corner drain) used are sunken slab in the building. The sunken slab needs a lot of labours to dig floors to fix extra pipes and utility ducts, water proofing and cementing, and the sunken slab needs to be filled with sand or other lightweight materials until a normal floor level is obtained. Such limitations which includes additional labour, addition resources and addition hardware makes such approaches complex and expensive.
[0005] In comparison with the conventional approaches, a newer approach may reduce height of the drainers (corner drain) to avoid usage of the sunken slab. The height reduced drainers may allow the back flow of water to the floor from the drainage pipe due to pressure caused by water flowing down from above floors. In the newer approach, there is no option to stop back water from the drainage pipe to the floor. However, the conventional approach, and the newer approach are inefficient to handle the drainage system of the building.
[0006] Hence, there is a need for an improved apparatus to drain water to address the aforementioned issues.

[0023] The apparatus (10) includes a grate unit (20). The grate unit (20) is designed in a predetermined shape. As used herein, ‘grate’ is defined as any regularly spaced collection of essentially identical, parallel, elongated elements. In one embodiment, the predetermined shape of the grate unit (20) includes a ‘L’ shaped grate unit. In one embodiment, the “L” shape of the grate unit (20) may include a plurality of opening. In such embodiment, the plurality of opening is designed in a predetermined manner.
[0024] The apparatus (10) also includes a first panel (30). The first panel (30) includes a first conduit collar (40). The first conduit collar (40) is designed in a predefined shape. The first panel (30) is coupled the grate unit (20). In one embodiment, the predetermined shape of the first conduit collar (40) may be in a semi-circular form.
[0025] The apparatus (10) also includes a second panel (50) mechanically coupled to the first panel (30) using a snap-fit assembly. As used herein, the term ‘snap-fit’ is an assembly method used to attach flexible parts, usually plastic, to form the final product by pushing the parts' interlocking components together. The second panel (50) includes a base (60) (As shown in FIG. 5, and FIG. 6). The base (60) (As shown in FIG. 5, and FIG. 6) is inclined towards a downward cylindrical projection (70) (As shown in FIG. 4, FIG. 5, and FIG. 6). The base (60) (As shown in FIG. 5, and FIG. 6) is inclined towards the downward cylindrical projection (70) (As shown in FIG. 4, FIG. 5, and FIG. 6) to send water from the base (60) (As shown in FIG. 5, and FIG. 6) to the downward cylindrical projection (70) (As shown in FIG. 4, FIG. 5, and FIG. 6) easily.
[0026] The second panel (50) also includes a second conduit collar (80) (As shown in FIG. 4, FIG. 5, and FIG. 6) at the corner of the base (60) (As shown in FIG. 5, and FIG. 6). The second conduit collar (80) (As shown in FIG. 4, FIG. 5, and FIG. 6) is designed in a predefined shape. In one embodiment, the predefined shape of the second conduit collar (80) (As shown in FIG. 4, FIG. 5, and FIG. 6) may be in a semi-circular form. The second conduit collar (80) (As shown in FIG. 4, FIG. 5, and FIG. 6) is configured to form a recess to couple drainpipes by connecting with the first conduit collar (40).
[0027] The second panel (50) also includes the downward cylindrical projection (70) (As shown in FIG. 4, FIG. 5, and FIG. 6) mechanically coupled to the bottom of the base (60) (As shown in FIG. 5, and FIG. 6). The downward cylindrical projection (70) (As shown in FIG. 4, FIG. 5, and FIG. 6) includes a steep slope (90) (As shown in FIG. 5, and FIG. 6) on top of the downward cylindrical projection (70) (As shown in FIG. 4, FIG. 5, and FIG. 6). The steep slope (90) (As shown in FIG. 5, and FIG. 6) is positioned on top of the downward cylindrical projection (70) (As shown in FIG. 4, FIG. 5, and FIG. 6) to send water to a downward drainage conduit via downward cylindrical projection (70) (As shown in FIG. 4, FIG. 5, and FIG. 6). The steep slope (90) (As shown in FIG. 5, and FIG. 6) is configured to allow water towards the downward drainage conduit.
[0028] The second panel (50) also includes a wall (100) (As shown in FIG. 5, and FIG. 6). The wall (100) (As shown in FIG. 5, and FIG. 6) includes a plurality of gaps (110) is configured to stop back flow water from the second panel to floor. The wall (100) (As shown in FIG. 5, and FIG. 6) is coupled to the base (60) (As shown in FIG. 5, and FIG. 6).
[0029] In an exemplary embodiment, the apparatus (10) is placed on a corner of a floor (120) (As shown in FIG. 7). The apparatus (10) is vertically connected to a drainage conduit (130) (As shown in FIG. 7) of the building. The apparatus (10) is fabricated in a way that the drainage conduit (130) (As shown in FIG. 7) of the building can pass through the apparatus (10). The apparatus (10) may receive water from floor (120) (As shown in FIG. 7) via the grate unit (20). Due to this fabrication, the apparatus (10) can receive water which is collected from one or more floors of the building through the drainage conduit (130) (As shown in FIG. 7) of the building. Received water flows to the downward cylindrical projection (70) (As shown in FIG. 4, FIG. 5, and FIG. 6) through the base (60) (As shown in FIG. 5, and FIG. 6) due to inclination of the base (60) (As shown in FIG. 5, and FIG. 6) towards the downward cylindrical projection (70) (As shown in FIG. 4, FIG. 5, and FIG. 6). The steep slope (90) (As shown in FIG. 5, and FIG. 6) is positioned on top of the downward cylindrical projection (70) (As shown in FIG. 4, FIG. 5, and FIG. 6) and configured to allow the flow of water to the downward cylindrical projection (70) (As shown in FIG. 4, FIG. 5, and FIG. 6) easily. The wall (100) (As shown in FIG. 5, and FIG. 6), which is positioned on the base (60) (As shown in FIG. 5, and FIG. 6), is used to stop back flow of the water which may be caused due to the water received from the one or more floors. The one or more floors may include one or more drainers. The back flow of the water of the building may be stopped due to a reduced height of the apparatus (10).
[0030] Various embodiments of the present disclosure enable the apparatus to reduce complexity by reducing Intermediate fittings. The present disclosure enables the apparatus to reduce cost by avoiding the leakages in future due to lot of intermediate fittings. In addition to that, the present disclosure reduces the labour requirement, cost of water proofing and cementing by avoiding sunken slab. Furthermore, the present disclosure may not allow the water back to the floor from the drainage pipe.
[0031] While specific language has been used to describe the disclosure, any limitations arising on account of the same are not intended. As would be apparent to a person skilled in the art, various working modifications may be made to the method in order to implement the inventive concept as taught herein.
[0032] The figures and the foregoing description give examples of embodiments. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that one or more of the described elements may well be combined into a single functional element. Alternatively, certain elements may be split into multiple functional elements. Elements from one embodiment may be added to another embodiment. For example, order of processes described herein may be changed and are not limited to the manner described herein. Moreover, the actions of any flow diagram need not be implemented in the order shown; nor do all of the acts need to be necessarily performed. Also, those acts that are not dependant on other acts may be performed in parallel with the other acts. The scope of embodiments is by no means limited by these specific examples.
