  • Remote operated plug
    Patent number: 5822812
    Abstract: The invention relates to an improved remotely operated plug assembly (13) of the type with a pop-up plug (13) and cabling (14), wherein the inter-engaging means and the means for retaining the plug (13) in the sink waste unit (11) and in the closed position are circumferential. This allows the free movement of fluid from the plug (13) to the sink waste unit (11). The improvement relates to the use of common elements for both the inter-engaging means and the retaining means so that the one movable pin (34) acts in both the inter-engagement of the plug (13) and the sink waste unit (11), and the retention of the plug (13) within the sink waste unit (11) and in the closed position.
