A device for preventing a bath from overflowing
A device 20 for preventing a bath from overflowing in the form of a tube with a lower end for fitting into a plug hole and an opposed open top end. The tube may be formed of a flexible material such as resiliently deformable thermoplastic, rubber or silicone, with a tapered annular lower end which can form a tight friction seal into a plug hole. When water filling a bath reaches the top of the device it can flow into the hollow centre via the open top end and into the drain, to prevent the bath overflowing. The device may have a concertina form allowing adjustment of length to adjust desired maximum water depth. Another embodiment has a cylindrical from with a window in a side wall adjacent the lower end, comprising mesh or netting 21 and a sliding door 22. When opened the device may be used to allow a lower maximum level of water compared to the full height of the device e.g. for maintaining a shallow water depth when showering, wherein the mesh filters debris such as hair from entering the drain.
