연합인증

연합인증 가입 기관의 연구자들은 소속기관의 인증정보(ID와 암호)를 이용해 다른 대학, 연구기관, 서비스 공급자의 다양한 온라인 자원과 연구 데이터를 이용할 수 있습니다.

이는 여행자가 자국에서 발행 받은 여권으로 세계 각국을 자유롭게 여행할 수 있는 것과 같습니다.

연합인증으로 이용이 가능한 서비스는 NTIS, DataON, Edison, Kafe, Webinar 등이 있습니다.

한번의 인증절차만으로 연합인증 가입 서비스에 추가 로그인 없이 이용이 가능합니다.

다만, 연합인증을 위해서는 최초 1회만 인증 절차가 필요합니다. (회원이 아닐 경우 회원 가입이 필요합니다.)

연합인증 절차는 다음과 같습니다.

최초이용시에는
ScienceON에 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 로그인 (본인 확인 또는 회원가입) → 서비스 이용

그 이후에는
ScienceON 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 서비스 이용

연합인증을 활용하시면 KISTI가 제공하는 다양한 서비스를 편리하게 이용하실 수 있습니다.

An improved floor drain valve for buildings, basements, exterior paved areas, and the like. The invention provides floor drain assemblies and check valves providing improved drainage performance, particularly where drainage is an irregular occurrence, and having unprecedented simplicity and reliability. Floor drains according to the invention comprise check valves having elastomeric hinge structures mounting relatively rigid flapper structures biased upwardly against sealing surfaces adapted for disposition within floor drains. Water entering the valve structure opens the flapper valves by gravitational forces downwardly against the relatively rigid flapper, and after passage of the water, the valve is elastomerically urged into the sealed position restricting back flow of gases from the downstream area of the drain conduit and permitting pressure testing of the downstream conduit.

1. A check valve for a floor drain comprising: a cylindrical body, including an inlet end and an opposed outlet end;a flapper mount connected to an inside surface of the cylindrical body;a flapper stop positioned on the inside surface of the cylindrical body between the flapper mount and the outlet end of the cylindrical body; anda relatively rigid flapper connected to said flapper mount, said flapper having a resilient hinge and reinforcing ridges to provide rigidity to said flapper, said flapper being rotatable from a first closed position engaged with the flapper stop, wherein the flapper is configured to move away from the flapper stop to allow liquid that enters the inlet to exit the check valve through the outlet and when in the closed position prevents backflow of gases, wherein the resilient hinge biases the flapper toward the closed position and the flapper is positioned at an angle within the cylindrical body with a fixed portion of the flapper positioned closer to the inlet of the cylindrical body and a free portion of the flapper positioned closer to the outlet end of the cylindrical body. 2. The check valve of claim 1, wherein the flapper stop comprises a flange that extends from the inside surface of the cylindrical body. 3. The check valve of claim 1 having two flappers with resilient hinges, each mounted on a mount positioned on a diameter of the valve body. 4. A floor drain assembly comprising: a drain basin configured to be inserted into a floor, the drain basin including an upper end and a lower end, wherein the area of the upper end is greater than the area of the lower end;a check valve configured to be secured between the upper and lower ends of the drain basin, the check valve being configured to be inserted and removed from the drain basin from the upper end of the drain basin, the check valve including:a cylindrical body, including an inlet end, an opposed outlet end, and a tapered outer profile;a relatively rigid flapper positioned within a portion of the cylindrical body that includes the tapered outer profile, the flapper positioned at an angle within the drain basin with a fixed portion of the flapper positioned closer to the upper end of the drain basin and a free portion of the flapper positioned closer to the lower end of the drain basin, said flapper having a resilient hinge, wherein a portion of an upper periphery edge of the flapper is connected to the cylindrical body, and wherein a portion of a lower periphery edge is configured to deflect to allow fluid to pass through the cylindrical body of the check valve;whereby liquids may pass downwardly through said check valve and gases from below said check valve are prevented from upward movement. 5. The floor drain assembly of claim 4, wherein an outer diameter of the cylindrical body at the inlet end is greater than an outer diameter of the cylindrical body at the outlet end. 6. A method of draining a floor while preventing the backflow of gas comprising: positioning a relatively rigid flapper having a resilient hinge within a cylindrical body such that a peripheral edge of the flapper is fixed to the cylindrical body adjacent an inlet of the cylindrical body, said resilient hinge biasing said flapper into sealing relationship with a sealing surface permitting said flapper to rotate downwardly towards the outlet when water is present on an upper surface of said flapper and the flapper is positioned at an angle within the cylindrical body with a fixed portion of the flapper positioned closer to the inlet of the cylindrical body and a free portion of the flapper positioned closer to the outlet end of the cylindrical body. 7. The method of claim 6, further comprising slidably engaging the cylindrical body into a drain basin. 8. The method of claim 6 further including the step of applying fluid pressure in the conduit below said valve to test said conduit for leaks. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein the flapper is sized such that only a single flapper is required to prevent backflow of gases when the flapper is in the closed position. 10. The method of claim 6, wherein a single flapper is positioned within the cylindrical body. 11. The check valve of claim 1, wherein the ridges have a greatest depth adjacent the fixed portion of the flapper. 12. The check valve of claim 1, wherein the ridges have a greatest width adjacent the fixed portion of the flapper. 13. The check valve of claim 12, wherein the ridges have a greatest depth adjacent the fixed portion of the flapper. 14. The check valve of claim 1, wherein the ridges taper in thickness and width from the fixed portion of the flapper to the free portion of the flapper. 15. The check valve of claim 1, further comprising a threaded collar that engages an upper exterior surface of the cylindrical body. 16. The check valve of claim 15, further comprising a gasket having an interior surface that engages the exterior surface of the cylindrical body and an exterior surface of the threaded collar. 17. The floor drain assembly of claim 4, wherein the flapper has reinforcing ridges extending from the resilient hinge. 18. The floor drain assembly of claim 17, wherein the ridges have a greatest width adjacent the fixed portion of the flapper. 19. The floor drain assembly of claim 17, wherein the ridges taper in thickness and width from the fixed portion of the flapper to the free portion of the flapper. 20. The method of claim 6, further comprising engaging a gasket having an interior surface with the exterior surface of the cylindrical body and an exterior surface of the threaded collar. 21. The floor drain assembly of claim 4, further comprising a threaded collar that engages an upper exterior surface of the cylindrical body. 22. The floor drain assembly of claim 21, further comprising a gasket having an interior surface that engages the exterior surface of the cylindrical body and an exterior surface of the threaded collar. 23. The method of claim 6, wherein the flapper has reinforcing ridges extending from the resilient hinge. 24. The method of claim 23, wherein the ridges have a greatest width adjacent the fixed portion of the flapper. 25. The method of claim 23, wherein the ridges taper in thickness and width from the fixed portion of the flapper to the free portion of the flapper. 26. The method of claim 6, further comprising engaging a threaded collar with an upper exterior surface of the cylindrical body.
