  • Patent number: 5363518
    Abstract: A plunger assembly 42, which functions as a popup drain stopper, includes a one-piece plastic body 44 formed with a head 50 at an upper end thereof. A connector 48 is formed at a lower end of body 44. A dome-shaped decorative cap 52 is removably assembled at the upper end of head 50 and is supported by a dome-shaped structural grid 77 formed in the head. Projections 80 extend radially from head 50 and cooperate with an inwardly flared side wall 86 of cap 52 to retain the cap with the head and body 44. Assembly 42 is positioned within a drain assembly 12 which is coupled to a basin 10. Assembly 42 is controlled for movement by lever 62 to raise and lower head 50 relative to a drain opening 27. Head 50 seals opening 27 with a seal washer 56 in a lower position and allows water to flow from the basin in an upper position.
