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 34):
An overflow device for a sanitary appliance such as a bathtub, the overflow device comprising:\n a body; and a pipe arrangement in fluid communication with the body, the pipe arrangement defining an overflow flowpath; the body including:\n a body inlet located through a top of the body and being configured to be connected to an outlet of the sanitary appliance; \n a body outlet located through a side of the body and positioned proximate the top of the body and being configured to be connected to a soil stack; and \n a separator positioned within the body and located between the body inlet and the body outlet, such that the separator creates a drainage flowpath between the body inlet and the body outlet, wherein the arrangement of the separator relative to the body inlet and the body outlet and the position of the body outlet relative to the top and bottom of the body, is such that, in use, a water seal is created within a lower portion of the body, wherein the water seal has a depth or height defined by the distance between the bottom of the body and a lowest part of the body outlet, \n wherein the overflow flowpath between the body inlet and the body outlet, is such that, in use, at least a portion of the overflow flowpath is beneath the water seal, wherein the body comprises an inlet chamber, the inlet chamber being in fluid communication with the body inlet, and an outlet chamber, the outlet chamber being in fluid communication with the body outlet, wherein the pipe arrangement is connected to the body such that a pipe arrangement entry .s associated with the inlet chamber and a pipe arrangement exit is associated with the outlet chamber and wherein the pipe arrangement is in continuous fluid communication with the inlet chamber and the outlet chamber, and wherein an upper portion of the pipe arrangement defines an inverted U-shaped portion.
