Abstract: A drain closure assembly including a resilient, dome-shaped plug member which may be changed from stable "closed" convex configuration to a stable "open" concave configuration by applying pressure to either an edge portion or a central portion of the plug member. The plug member is carried by a stem means which in the preferred embodiment is biased upwardly by spring means from a depressed position under the influence of pressure to a stable upper position when the pressure is released.
