Abstract: A strainer for a tub drain has a spring-biased plunger for moving the stopper from its closed position to an open, liquid flow position. The plunger has a stem that extends into the passageway of the body of the strainer, and is mounted thereon for axial reciprocation between an extended outward (open) position and a depressed inward (closed) position. An axial bore extends through the stopper member, and provides a surface portion conforming to the corresponding portion of the plunger stem. Inward movement of the plunger causes a sealing ring, which is mounted on the stem portion, to be displaced to a position of frictional engagement on the corresponding surface portion of the stopper member bore. Subsequent outward movement, under the force of the biasing spring, causes the plunger to lift the stopper member away from the seat portion of the body, and thereby to open the strainer.

Abstract: An accessory adapted to be attached to the drain opening of a sink of a parts washer including an upright tubular housing, having a plurality of drain ports at a lower end thereof. A stopper is selectively movable in said housing from a first position above the drain ports to a second position below the ports by the application of force to a shaft operatively coupled thereto. In the first position of the stopper, drainage of fluid from the sink occurs through the drainage port and the drain outlet. In the second position, fluid is blocked from egress through the drain port and the drain opening of the sink and collects in the sink to a predetermined level whereby a series of overflow drain ports drain excess fluid to maintain a constant level of solvent. The shaft is coupled to a spring urging the stopper to the first position when a force is removed from the shaft.

Abstract: A basket strainer and stopper assembly for a sink includes a strainer basket, a stopper positioned below the basket strainer for sealing the sink drain opening and an axial stem.

The legs of the forked portion of the stem are resilient and arcuate and they rest upon a plate extending across the drain opening to support the assembly in the open position. The drain is closed by exerting sufficient downward force on the handle portion of the stem to spring the resilient legs toward each other so they pass through and are retained in a detent opening in the plate. The drain is reopened by pulling upward on the handle with sufficient force to raise the entire assembly and to once again spring the legs toward each other so that they will pass through the detent opening.

Abstract: A trap to be installed in a wall leading to a drain comprises an assembly of interfitted modular units, molded or deep-drawn from corrosion-resistant synthetic resin, which include an upwardly open housing of rectangular outline, a conduit with a bottom inlet and a lateral outlet removably inserted in that housing, a catch basket receivable in the housing alongside the conduit, a lid for the housing, and a possible extension interposable between the housing and its lid. The inserted conduit may be provided with an externally manipulable shut-off valve between its inlet and outlet, and/or with a hinged flap serving as a check valve; alternatively, it may have an internal tongue designed to raise its liquid level for a more effective stopping of the escape of sewer gases. One or more extensions may be secured to the housing with the aid of external clamps engaging outer peripheral flanges thereof.

Abstract: A deenergized solenoid operated valve normally closes the drain line of a sink, basin, tub or toilet bowl, the valve thus serving as a stopper. When a pushbutton switch is closed, the solenoid is energized to retract the valve and open the drain, a flow responsive switch maintaining the solenoid energized until all of the water has drained from the sink or bowl. A float responsive switch will also energize the solenoid to retract the valve and open the drain if water accumulates from a leaky faucet. Whenever water is drained, the low pressure or vacuum that results produces an accompanying venting action. The invention may be used with a P or S-type drain connection and/or with a conventional stack vent, but does not require that any of these be employed.

Abstract: A large capacity drainage receptacle for flush mounting in a surface to be drained including an especially configured mounting flange from which a receptacle body integrally depends.
