  • Patent number: 9976295
    Abstract: The double-tier drain filter system includes an elongate base having an upper section and a lower section. A drain cover with perforations couples to the upper section, and the lower section couples to a drain pipe. Threads are provided between the lower section and the drain pipe to form a threaded interlock. A recess inside the upper section receives a filter assembly which includes a removable, perforated drain basket and a filter element inside the drain basket. An annular mount flange with threads extends from the bottom of the drain cover to thread into the matching inner threads of the drain basket forming another threaded interlock. The drain cover and the filter assembly serves as a double-tier, two-pass filter ranging from coarse to fine filtering, respectively. Tools are provided to facilitate installation and cleaning.

  • Patent number: 9021621
    Abstract: The drain strainer and filter is removably placed within a sink, tub, or other drain to prevent solid particles from passing through the drain and building up to block the drain at some inaccessible location. The device includes a perforated basket having a removable perforated lid. The basket and lid enclose a removable and disposable filter element therein. The drain strainer may have a retractable stopper extending therebelow, the stopper being actuated by a lift rod that extends through the basket, filter, and lid. The handle of the lift rod may be removed to allow the lid and the filter to be removed from the basket. Alternatively, the drain strainer does not include the stopper. The drain strainer includes a folding handle. The lid includes a recess to allow the handle to fold flush with the top of the lid to avoid interference with articles in the sink during use.
