Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] 1. Field of the Invention
[0002] The present invention relates to a sealed device for
installing the toilet stool on the floor, in particularly to
facilitate the stool installation and prevent the occurrence of
sewage leakage.
[0003] 2. Description of the Related Art
[0004] Generally, a stool is installed on the floor surface by
means of securing with concrete or fastener. In particular, the
concrete is the most common way to be applied for installing a
stool. The defect focuses on the inconvenience of dismantling the
stool from the floor when the drainage pipe is obstructed and
required to be cleaned. Besides extra expense of repairing may be
raised if the stool is destroyed during the stool
dismantlement.
[0005] Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, some have attempted to address
aforesaid problems by providing an improved method for installing
the toilet stool 1. Said floor surface has a locating member 12
sleevely mounted on the inlet port of drainage pipe 21 and provided
with a central opening 122 and a plurality of bores 121 on the
outer periphery of said locating member 12. Each of the bores 121
is adapted to permit a fastener 13 extending therethough so as to
secure with the stool 1 on the floor 2. Furthermore, said locating
member 12 and the stool 1 have an unctuous material 3 located there
between so as when the stool 1 is installed, the unctuous material
3 is simultaneously squeezed to fill the gaps between stool 1 and
locating member 12.
[0006] In use, the conventional method for installing the stool has
several defects. [0007] 1. Due to reason that the stool has to
secure with the fastener mounted on the locating member, it is
difficult to aim the fastener at the hole on the stool. [0008] 2.
Due to the reason that said unctuous material is a sort of
semi-liquid material, the gaps are easily to be generated if the
stool is installed without cautiousness. In order to prevent the
occurrence of leakage, the stool has to be vertically and evenly
put on the floor. Therefore, at least two installers are required.
Besides, said unctuous material has the tendency to extend inward
when being squeezed which results of obstruction of the pipe.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0009] Therefore, the object of present invention is to provide a
sealed device for installing a stool on the floor, which includes a
ductile sealed body and a plurality of ears protruded from the
outer periphery of the sealed body, that is capable of overcoming
the aforesaid drawback of the prior art.
[0010] The present invention relates to a sealed device for
installing a toilet stool on the floor that comprises a sealed body
and a plurality of ears with apertures protruded from the outer
periphery of said sealed body; a locating member is sleevely
mounted on the inlet port of the drainage pipe. Said sealed body is
fastenably mounted between the stool and the locating member by
ears. The sealed body includes a central opening that served as an
access between the inlet port of the drainage pipe and drainage
trap outlet port of the toilet stool. By the means of the sealed
device, the toilet stool is capable of being installed more rapidly
and conveniently and prevents occurrence of sewage leakage.
[0011] The present invention will become more obvious from the
following description when taken in connection with the
accompanying drawings which show, for purposes of illustration
only, a preferred embodiment in accordance with the present
invention.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0012] FIG. 1 shows a conventional method to install the stool on
the floor;
[0013] FIG. 2 is a perspective view to show the conventional
locating member;
[0014] FIG. 3 shows the sealed device of present invention
installed between outlet port of drainage tray and inlet port of
drainage pipe;
[0015] FIG. 4 is a perspective view to show the installation of
sealed device of present invention and locating member;
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0016] Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, the sealed device 4 of the
present invention for installing the toilet stool 5 on the floor 6;
a drainage pipe 61 is built inside the floor 6 and includes an
inlet port 611 defined on the surface of the floor 6. A located
member 52 sleevely mounted on the inlet port 611 of said drainage
pipe 61, and provided with an opening 522 defined on the center
thereof for accommodating a sealed device 4 and a plurality of
bores 521 defined on the outer periphery of the locating member 52;
each of said bores 521 has a fastener 53 extending therethrough.
The toilet stool 5 having drainage trap outlet port 511 defined on
the bottom thereof for feeding into the drainage pipe 61; a sealed
device 4 is adapted to install between the drainage trap outlet
port 511 and located member 52 and comprising a sealed body 41
having an opening 411 axially defined on the centre thereof and a
plurality of ears 42 horizontal protruded from the outer periphery
of the sealed body 41. Said opening 411 provide a passage to
connect with the drainage trap outlet port 511 and inlet port 611
of the drainage pipe 61. Each of the ears 42 includes an aperture
421 adapted to be extending by the fastener 53 on the locating
member 52 so as to immobilize the fastener 53. Besides, the sealed
body 41 has a cone defined on one end that is capable to
accommodate in the opening 522 of locating member 52.
[0017] Referring to the FIGS. 3 and 4, during the operation, the
opening 522 of locating member 52 receives the sealed body 41 and
the fasteners 53 extending through on the apertures 421 of the ears
42 so as to secure the sealed device 4 on the locating member 52.
At this time, the stool 5 is installed on the floor surface by
aiming the drainage trap outlet port 511 at the sealed device 4 and
together secured by fasteners 53.
[0018] To sum up with above description, the present invention
provides the following advantages: [0019] 1. By the means of the
apertures on the ears and bores on the locating member, said
fasteners are capable to firmly stand without immobilizing so as to
assist the installation of stool. [0020] 2. Due to the reason that
the sealed device is ductile solid material, the stool can be
installed without caring so much about the angle and strength.
Therefore, one single installer can accomplish the stool
installation. [0021] 3. Due to the reason that sealed device is
ductile material, said sealed device has good effect to fill the
gaps between the drainage tray outlet port and inlet port of
drainage pipe so as to prevent the leakage of sewage.
[0022] While we have shown and described the embodiment in
accordance with the present invention, it should be clear to those
skilled in the art that further embodiments may be made without
departing from the scope of the present invention.
