Adjustable overflow closure device with cable drain
An overflow drain for a tub includes a bracket configured to be located against an inside surface of the tub and connected to an overflow elbow. A first elongated slot is disposed through the bracket. A faceplate is configured to be attached to the bracket. A second elongated slot is disposed through the faceplate. A first knob is movably connected to the faceplate. An elongated seal plate is disposed on the inside of the faceplate and connected to the first knob. The seal plate is configured to move between an open position and a closed position by a movement of the first knob, wherein in the closed position the seal plate is configured to create a watertight seal around either the first or second elongated slots, and wherein in the open position the seal plate is configured to drain a fluid through the first and second elongated slots.
CONNECTOR FOR GUIDING LIQUID OVERFLOW OUT OF A DISPOSABLE LINER WHEN RECEIVED IN A BASIN FOR CONTACTING THE LIQUID AND RELATED METHOD
A connector for use with a disposable flexible liner installed in a basin to contact liquid is provided to bridge between an overflow opening provided in the liner and an overflow aperture provided in an upright wall of the basin, so that when liquid containable in an interior volume of the basin exceeds a prescribed height, the liquid is enabled to drain out of the interior volume through the liner at the communicated openings/apertures. A conduit formed by the connector for insertion into the basin to bridge between the communicated openings/apertures is arranged for a friction fit in an overflow throat extending from the overflow aperture defined in the basin. A related method for using a replaceable liner in a basin having an overflow aperture is also disclosed.

Openable drain strainer
The present disclosure includes an openable drain strainer with a central longitudinal axis. An openable basket includes a frame having a sidewall extending circumferentially around the axis, and a bottom movable with respect to the frame from a closed position to an open position to open the basket and facilitate removal of debris.
Adjustable overflow closure device
An overflow for a tub or basin includes a bracket and a movable cover. A water passageway is disposed through the bracket. The cover is attached to the bracket and translatably movable by a user. A drain aperture is disposed through the cover. An edge is disposed along a perimeter of the cover with a channel disposed on an inside edge surface. The bracket includes a flexure or a pin biased by a spring. When the cover is attached to the bracket the flexure or pin is partially disposed within the channel creating a force biasing the cover to remain attached to the bracket. Alternatively, a magnet may be used to bias the cover to the bracket. When the cover is in an open position, water can flow through both the bracket and the cover. When the cover is in a closed position, it blocks the flow of water.
