Linear drain assemblies and methods of use
First Claim
1. A linear drain assembly comprising:
- a drain body including a first cover, a first drain channel formed below the first cover, and a first slotted inlet formed in the first cover; and
at least one end attachment attachable to a longitudinal end of the drain body, the at least one end attachment including a second cover, a second drain channel formed below the second cover and having a closed end extending in both a longitudinal direction and a transverse direction across the second drain channel, and a second slotted inlet formed in the second cover and extending in the longitudinal direction, the second slotted inlet in fluid communication with the second drain channel and forming a continuation of the first slotted inlet,wherein the closed end of the second drain channel is arranged to direct debris moving through the second drain channel toward the second slotted inlet.

Abstract
A linear drain assembly includes at least one end attachment attachable to a longitudinal end of a drain body. The at least one end attachment has a permanent structural cover, a first drain channel formed below the cover and extending in a longitudinal direction along the at least one end attachment. The first drain channel has a closed end extending in both the longitudinal direction and a transverse direction across the first drain channel. A first slotted channel is formed in the cover and extends in the longitudinal direction along the at least one end attachment. The first slotted channel is in fluid communication with the first drain channel. The closed end of the first drain channel is arranged to direct debris moving through the first drain channel toward the first slotted inlet.

15. A linear drain assembly comprising:
-
a drain body including; a permanent structural cover; a first drain channel formed below the cover and extending in a longitudinal direction along the drain body; a first slotted inlet defined in the cover and located toward a sidewall of the first drain channel, the first slotted inlet extending in the longitudinal direction along the cover and being in fluid communication with the first drain inlet; and an outlet structure intercepting the drain channel; and at least one end attachment attachable to a longitudinal end of the drain body, the at least one end attachment including; a second drain channel in fluid communication with the first drain channel of the drain body, the second drain channel having a closed end extending in both the longitudinal direction and a transverse direction across the second drain channel; and a second slotted inlet extending in the longitudinal direction along the at least one end attachment and in fluid communication with the second drain channel, the second slotted inlet forming a continuation of the first slotted inlet, wherein the closed end of the second drain channel is arranged to direct debris moving through the second drain channel toward the second slotted inlet; and a ramped surface connecting a bottom of the first drain channel to a bottom of the second drain channel. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18)
