CA 2673247

A shower enclosure base has a flow enhancing flush-mounted drain cover that conceals the drain opening and provides a flat stepping surface. Drain flow is achieved through a narrow peripheral passage between the drain cover and the drain well in which it is seated. Despite the reduced flow area of passage, flow enhancing features of the drain cover serve to improve the flow rate through the drain. These features are radially converging ribs at the underside of the drain cover that interrupt the natural tendency for drain water to form a vortex as it passes into and through a circular drain opening. The drain cover can be removably secured to the base by suction cups that attach to the drain well.

L'invention concerne un bac à douche comprenant une bonde d'évacuation montée en affleurement pour améliorer l'écoulement, ladite bonde dissumulant une ouverture d'évacuation et fournissant une surface de pose de pied plane. L'écoulement de l'évacuation s'effectue par un passage périphérique étroit situé entre la bonde d'évacuation et le puits d'évacuation dans lequelle elle introduite. Malgré la zone de passage d'écoulement réduite, des caractérisdtiques d'amélioration d'écoulement permettent d'améliorer le débit d'évacuation. Ces caractéristiques sont des nervures convergeant sous la bonde d'évacuation qui interrompent la tendance naturelle de l'eau d'évacuation à former un vortex lorsqu'elle s'écoule par et dans une ouverture d'évacuation circulaire. La bonde d'évacuation peut être fixée de manière amovible au bac par des ventouses pour l'attacher au puits d'évacuation.
