Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a plumbing device installed in a building, and more particularly relates to a drain strainer.
- The conventional drain strainer is usually installed above a drainpipe and filters out dirt or hair to prevent the dirt or hair from falling into the drainpipe. The drain strainer has a drain plate having multiple drain holes for filtering out dirt or hair.
- The drain plate is usually mounted in the floor of a kitchen or bathroom. The drain plate and the drain holes are exposed out of the floor and make the interior decoration of the kitchen or bathroom less aesthetically appealing.
- To overcome the shortcomings of the conventional drain strainer, the present invention provides a drain strainer to mitigate or obviate the aforementioned problems.
- The main objective of the invention is to provide a drain strainer including a base, a drain plate and a cover.
- The base includes a drainpipe, a surrounding wall located over the drainpipe, and a connecting portion horizontally connected with the drainpipe and the surrounding wall. The drain plate is mounted in the base and includes a rod recess formed at a center of the drain plate and multiple drainage holes formed through the drain plate. The cover is mounted in the rod recess of the drain plate.
- Other objects, advantages, and novel features of the invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawing.
