Abstract

A water drainage spout, especially for hollow spaces in motor vehicle structures, which is so arranged that any water present in the hollow spaces is able to flow off by gravity when the vehicle stands still or drives, and in which the area serving the water drainage is surrounded on its side facing the atmosphere by a circumferential apron; the area serving the water drainage is constructed funnel-shaped and is closed off by a bottom adapted to be pushed through while water discharge openings are provided in the wall of the funnel distributed over the circumference thereof, which extend to this bottom.
