A drain strainer is provided that includes a flange and a basket. The flange transitions to a central cavity. The basket defines the central cavity and includes perforations that are sized to enable liquid to drain through the basket while debris is collected in the basket. The basket has a flexibility of a sufficient value such that the basket may be stretched in a downstream direction to a predetermine value and then released to eject the debris from the basket.

A sink including a body defining a vessel volume having an interior surface, wherein the body includes a bowl, where the bowl includes a base wall and at least one side wall extending from the base wall, where the bowl at least partially defines the interior surface, and a cup, where the cup includes a strainer plate defining one or more apertures therein and at least one side wall, where the cup at least partially defines the interior surface, where the body is formed from a single continuous piece of sheet material, and where the minimum thickness of the material forming the cup is no less than 50% of the maximum thickness of the material forming the bowl.

A method for removing a sink drain stopper includes providing a sink drain aid including a handle and a suction cup connected to the handle; engaging the sink drain aid suction cup to a sink stopper; and pulling on the handle to remove the sink drain stopper. A device to perform the method includes the sink drain aid described.

A combination strainer and drain stop assembly or tamper-resistant flow control device includes a strainer body or housing; a rotatable stopper disk; a lock; and a screw extending through central apertures in the assembly. The strainer body includes a strainer disk with a planar surface and slotted openings. The slotted strainer housing has arcuate slots and a pair of diametrically opposed apertures. The stopper/flow control disk has lugs protruding through the slots and rotate the disk between an open position and a closed position. The lock includes a rectangular lock block housing a lock pin at each end and a truncated wedge. The wedge has ramp faces and a cylindrical threaded insert. The screw raises the wedge into the block when pivoted so that the pins extend through the apertures and the device is secured within a drain.

The present disclosure is directed to a strainer cartridge that may be inserted into a drain of a drain system. The strainer cartridge includes an upper strainer portion and a lower strainer portion that are telescopically engaged with each other such that the upper strainer portion is moved into and out of the lower strainer portion telescopically. The strainer cartridge has a compressed position in which a drain opening of the drain is sealed off such that fluid collects within a fluid basin in fluid communication with the drain, and the strainer cartridge has an expanded position in which fluid may flow through the drain opening and the upper and lower strainer portions. When in the compressed position, the lower strainer portion is telescopically inset within the lower strainer portion, and, when in the expanded position, the upper strainer portion extends outward from the lower strainer portion.

The present disclosure relates to popup drain stopper and popup drain stopper assemblies. The popup drain stopper includes a debris trap having a plurality of bristle arranged to trap debris flowing into a drainpipe in which the stopper is positioned. Popup drain stopper assemblies include the popup drain stopper with the debris trap and the ability to remove the drain stopper from the drainpipe without disassembly.
