ABSTRACT:
The invention is directed to a novel form of recessed cavity and cover therefor, for use with bathtubs and the like, especially whirlpool baths, and in particular, for use as an overflow recessing device or means.
In the prior art, overflow devices have projected from the bathtub wall. Such overflow devices thus present an obstruction and danger to a bathtub user.
The invention herein recesses the overflow device behind the plane of the bathtub wall, and the recess is provided with a complementary cover so that the recess in the wall, in effect, can be made flush with the wall of the tub. The recess cover is pivotally connected to the bathtub recess opening.
The covered recess is provided with a secondary drain means so that any water entering the covered recess will readily drain therefrom.
