Abstract

Drainage device for arrangement on a floor tile, the drainage device, when at least partially assembled in the floor, has at least two pipe lengths moveable relative to one another in such a way that a movement of the pipe lengths relative to one another allows an aperture in the floor tile and the upper inlet aperture of the drainage device to be made to coincide at least partially with one another. At the same time the pipe lengths have flanges extending radially outwards, which are sealed against one another by seals.

Claims

1. A drainage device for arrangement on a floor tile having an aperture for drain water, comprising:

an upper inlet aperture into which drain water, having passed through the aperture in the floor tile can enter,

seating devices preassembled in a floor area, which can be connected to a drainage pipe, so that drain water, having passed through the inlet aperture, can pass into the drainage pipe,

a drain well which can be at least partially received by the seating devices, and which is moveable in relation to the seating devices in such a way that the aperture in the floor tile can be moved in relation to the seating devices,

the seating devices and the drain well each comprising a horizontally aligned union connection of the drain well being at least partially received by the union connection of the seating devices,

wherein the union connections are able to move relative to one another, thereby enabling the movement of the drain well in relation to the seating devices.

2. The drainage device as claimed in claim 1, wherein each of the sealing devices includes a sealing ring or a lip packing which allow a movement of the union connections relative to one another, and the seal devices are arranged between the two union connections.

3. The drainage device of claim 1, wherein the floor tile is natural stone, a molding or ceramic tile.
