Abstract:
A drainage channel is adapted to receive fluid from a floor and drain it to a waste outlet. The channel has a floor portion and sides which fluidly enclose and define the channel. One of the sides has a substantially planar flange extending outwardly, and a second one of the sides has a substantially planar flange extending outwardly or upwardly. A waste aperture in the floor portion allows draining of the fluid from the channel to the waste outlet. A grate is supported from the floor portion and is adjustable in height. The channel can be located within an aperture in a building floor and the outwardly extending flanges can be secured to an upper surface of the floor, with the upwardly extending flanges securable to an upward surface of a channel surrounding wall, such that a drainage channel can be located in the building floor for removal of fluid.

Claim (Index 29):
A drainage channel adapted to receive fluid from a building floor and drain it to a waste outlet, comprising:\n an upwardly open channel having a lower most floor portion and about the floor portion are sides to fluidly enclose and define the channel, on an upper most periphery of the channel a first one of the sides has a substantially planar flange extending outwardly therefrom, and on the upper most periphery a second one of the sides has a substantially planar flange extending outwardly or upwardly therefrom; a waste aperture in the floor portion to allow draining of the fluid from the channel to the waste outlet when fluidly connected thereto; and a grate supported from the floor portion via upstands unitary with, and extending from, a lower portion of the grate, the grate is adjusted in height via a height of the upstands to have an upper surface of the grate substantially at a desired height relative an upper surface of a finishing of the building floor; wherein the channel can be substantially located within an aperture in the building floor and the substantially planar flanges extending outwardly can be secured to an upper presenting surface of the floor, and the substantially planar flange extending upwardly can be secured to an upward surface of a channel surrounding wall, to hold the drainage channel in place; such that a drainage channel can be located in the building floor for removal of fluid therefrom.
