  • Patent number: 9139996
    Abstract: An improved locking floor sink drain screen for an enlarged drain is provided. The locking floor sink drain positively precludes passage of large objects, while permitting free passage of fluid and which can quickly and easily be removed for cleaning. Vertical separators provide spaces through which water can flow from the enlarged drain opening into a standard drain pipe. In some embodiments, a special, tamperproof locking key may be used to prevent unauthorized disassembly of the installed floor drain screen.

  • Patent number: 8496811
    Abstract: A locking drain device for a floor drain comprises a top strainer, a cylindrical middle section having spreadable sides with slits in them, a frustoconical spreader, and a locking bolt, such that, when the spreader is drawn against the spreadable sides of the cylindrical middle section by tightening the locking bolt, the cylindrical sides will be spread to frictionally engage against the internal surface of a drain pipe to prevent inadvertent removal of the floor drain.
