The present invention is directed to a drain and drain concealment structure and method of installation and use. The preferred embodiment of the invention comprises a drain body adapted to be connected to a conventional prefabricated waterproof shower or bath pan. The drain body may be connected to the shower pan by any suitable means, such as but not by way of limitation by being integrally molded therewith during manufacture of the pan, by connection post-manufacture or in situ in the field. Other embodiments do not require use of a prefabricated waterproof shower or bath pan. The preferred drain body is comprised of a waterproof structure having a floor section which defines a drain aperture, and a peripheral sidewall section. Structure for releasably attaching a drain cover to the drain body is employed. The cover, which is defined by a peripheral edge, is adapted to lie in registry with, and thereby cover, a portion of the drain body floor so as to conceal the drain aperture and as much of the drain body floor as is practicable. When connected to the drain body, the peripheral edge of the cover is spaced from the drain body sidewall so as to define a gap therebetween through which water may pass while flowing toward the drain aperture. In this way, water is permitted to exit the shower or bath without the drain aperture being visible. The drain apparatus of this invention is preferably utilized as part of a tileable shower or bath arrangement, whereby flooring material such as tile may be placed onto the shower or bath pan up to the peripheral sidewall of the drain body, and additional flooring may be placed upon the drain cover. In this way, the drain is fully operational yet unnoticeable. Interchangeable drain covers may be provided to permit alteration of the decorative appearance of the drain.

A drain assembly comprising:a shroud having a threaded radially inward facing surface;a shank having a lip on an upper edge, a cylindrical radially inward facing surface defining a central axis, and a threaded radially outward facing surface configured to threadably engage the threaded radially inward facing surface of the shroud;a frame having a top surface and an angled bottom surface in which the angled bottom surface is angled relative to the central axis;a shim having an angled top surface angled relative to the central axis;a clamp configured to clamp the shim between the lip of the shank and the angled bottom surface of the frame; andwherein a rotational orientation of the angled top surface of the shim relative to the shank and a rotational orientation of the angled bottom surface of the frame relative to the shank are independently adjustable, thereby allowing for the top surface of the frame to be both angularly and rotationally adjusted relative to the central axis.2. The drain assembly of claim 1 , wherein the top surface of the frame can be both angularly and ...

The present disclosure relates to, in a drainage trap including a drainage pipe inserted into a drainage hole and an inlet portion formed at a top of the drainage pipe with a plurality of holes formed therein for performing a filtering function during drainage, a leakage prevention drainage trap with a joint reinforcing member and an installation method thereof. The joint reinforcing member 120 formed of a resin mesh or a metal mesh is coupled to an edge 113 of the drainage trap to be positioned between an upper portion of a mortar layer and tiles and is installed in a joint cement between the drainage trap and the tiles to firmly reinforce the joint cement. 1. A leakage prevention drainage trap with a mesh-shaped joint reinforcing member formed therein , comprising:a drainage pipe inserted into a drainage hole; andan inlet portion formed at a top of the drainage pipe with a plurality of holes formed therein for performing a filtering function during drainage,wherein a groove is formed along an edge of a drainage trap,joint reinforcing member is formed of a resin-made or metal-made mesh having a hole at a central portion and placed between a mortar layer and floor tiles,an edge of the central portion of the mesh is bent downward and inserted into the groove, andin the groove and in a gap between a drainage trap edge and the floor tiles, a joint cement is filled and placed by using the mesh as an aggregate.2. An installation method of a leakage prevention drainage trap with a mesh-shaped joint reinforcing member formed therein , comprising:inserting a drainage trap into a drainage pipe and forming a mortar layer on a concrete layer to reach a top portion of the drainage trap;placing a joint reinforcing member, which is formed of a resin-made or metal-made mesh having a hole at a central portion, on the mortar layer by inserting an edge of the central portion of the mesh into a groove formed at an edge of the drainage trap;installing floor tiles on the joint ...

A debris trap for a floor drain includes a rim defining an outer diameter, an inner diameter, and a radial center. A plurality of prongs are integrally formed with the rim and spaced along at least part of the inner diameter. At least some of the prongs are arranged to extend over an inlet of a drain body and have a proximal portion connected to the rim and extending radially inward from the rim, and a free distal portion that is only upwardly curved from the proximal portion toward the radial center of the rim. 1. A debris trap for a floor drain having drain body defining an inlet , the debris trap comprising:a rim defining an outer diameter, an inner diameter, and a radial center; anda plurality of prongs integrally formed with the rim and spaced along at least part of the inner diameter, at least some of the prongs arranged to extend over the inlet of the drain body and having a proximal portion connected to the rim and extending radially inward from the rim, and a free distal portion that is only upwardly curved from the proximal portion toward the radial center of the rim.2. The debris trap of claim 1 , wherein a width of the proximal portion is greater than a width of the distal portion.3. The debris trap of claim 1 , wherein a distance between adjacent ones of the prongs is greater toward the proximal portions than the distal portions.4. The debris trap of claim 1 , wherein the distal portions of the prongs include distal ends at least in part defining a center opening.5. The debris trap of claim 4 , wherein the distal ends of the prongs extend above the rim.6. The debris trap of claim 1 , wherein at least some of the prongs are flexible and resilient.7. The debris trap of claim 1 , wherein at least some of the prongs define a substantially flat top surface.8. The debris trap of claim 1 , wherein the prongs define spaces therebetween.9. The debris trap of claim 8 , wherein each space defines a curved proximal end and an open distal end.10. The debris trap of ...
