Abstract:
An overflow device for an appliance such as a bathtub, sink or the like. The overflow device comprises a body which connects the overflow device to the appliance. The body includes a body inlet adapted to be connected to an appliance outlet. The body also includes a body outlet adapted to be connected to a soil stack. A drainage flowpath is defined between the body inlet and the body outlet. In use, the drainage flowpath creates a water seal between the body inlet and body outlet. The overflow device also includes a pipe arrangement in fluid communication with the body, where the pipe arrangement defines an overflow flowpath between the body inlet and the body outlet, such that, in use, at least a portion of the overflow flowpath is beneath the level of the water seal.

Claim (Index 31):
The overflow device as claimed in  claim 30 , further comprising a sealing member, which divides the body and defines the inlet chamber and the outlet chamber, wherein the sealing member includes an aperture, wherein the drainage flowpath is enabled when the aperture is open; and wherein the sealing member includes an edge, which forms a seal seat adapted to cooperate with sealing means operable to close the aperture thereby disabling the drainage flowpath and preventing fluid flow between the inlet chamber and the outlet chamber.
