  • Bathtub drain valve control and overflow plate
    Patent number: 4796310
    Abstract: A bathtub drain valve control arrangement includes an overflow cover movably mounted in a recessed pocket of a substantially vertical bathtub wall so as to cover the overflow opening in that wall. The overflow plate is adapted to move between open and closed positions and has a smooth outer surface so that, in the closed position, it is flush with the vertical bathtub wall to provide a smooth, substantially continuous surface against which a bather could comfortably lean. A linkage connects the overflow cover and a drain valve, so that moving the overflow plate to the open position opens the drain valve and moving the overflow plate to the closed position closes the drain valve.
