Abstract

A plug structure of a liquid drainage installation includes a sealing ring clamped between two combined half bodies. The outer periphery of the sealing ring protrudes outward from the outer periphery of the two half bodies. Thus, the protruding dimension of the sealing ring may be adjusted by the clamping extent of the two bodies, thereby compensating the wearing amount due to usage. The two half bodies may be separated easily, thereby facilitating replacing the sealing ring.

Claims

1. A plug structure of a liquid drainage installation, comprising:

a first half body;

a sealing ring, mounted on said first half body, and having an outer periphery protruding outward from an outer periphery of said first half body; and

a second half body, combined with said first half body and pressed on said sealing ring, for adjusting a dimension of said outer periphery of said sealing ring protruding outward from said outer periphery of said first half body and an outer periphery of said second half body.

2. The plug structure of a liquid drainage installation in accordance with claim 1, wherein said first half body has a side surface formed with an inclined peripheral face which has a higher inner portion and a lower outer portion, and said second half body has a side surface formed with an inclined peripheral face which has a lower inner portion and a higher outer portion to align with said inclined peripheral face of said first half body, and said sealing ring is mounted between said inclined peripheral face of said first half body and said inclined peripheral face of said second half body.

3. The plug structure of a liquid drainage installation in accordance with claim 1, wherein said first half body has a side surface formed with a concave, and said second half body has a side surface formed with a lug to mate with said concave of said first half body, and said lug is received in said concave when said first half body is combined with said second half body.

4. The plug structure of a liquid drainage installation in accordance with claim 1, wherein said first half body is combined with said second half body by a screw.

5. The plug structure of a liquid drainage installation in accordance with claim 1, wherein said first half body has a circumferential portion formed with an arched face.

6. The plug structure of a liquid drainage installation in accordance with claim 1, wherein said second half body has a circumferential portion formed with an arched face.
