Drain strainer and stopper
An apparatus includes a base defining an opening. A body is coupled to the base. The body defines a plurality of holes and includes a circumferential ring coupled to a first side of the body. The body further includes an outwardly extending flange sized and configured to be received within the circumferential ring. The body is configured to be positioned in an extended configuration and a collapsed configuration. The flange includes at least one outwardly extending circumferential rib that forms a fluid-tight seal with an inner surface of the circumferential ring in the collapsed configuration.

Sink and drain for sink
Sinks and drains for sinks permitting the attachment of the drain to the sink such that the drain is substantially disposed below the top surface of the sink basin, and such that there is no discernable separation between the base of the sink basin and the drain when viewed from above the sink. A method of making a sink such that there is no discernable separation between the base of the sink basin and the drain when viewed from above the sink.
Bathtub Drain Stopper
A drain stopper assembly that can be simply pushed into and pulled out of a drain pipe includes an open-close mechanism, a cap, a drain seal, and a means for engaging the open-close mechanism with the drain pipe and preferably also includes a strainer. The means includes a wheel-shaped disc that rests on crossbars in the drain pipe and has an annular seal about its perimeter; a ball-and-spring detent mechanism for attaching the drain stopper to crossbars; and a magnet attached to the open-close mechanism, preferably with a ferrous adapter for the drain pipe. The open-close mechanism is a push mechanism, a lift-and-lock mechanism or a lift-and-turn mechanism.

SHOWER FALL PREVENTION DEVICE
A device may be provided for preventing fatal bathroom accidents relating to falls. Such a shower fall prevention device may be attached to a fixing point on a ceiling of a shower and may have two arm pit hooks pivotably connected to the fixing point. It may further comprise a rod connected between the fixing point and a bar, where arm pit hooks may be connected on right and left ends of the bar. The device may further comprise a strong rubber band or an extendable and retractable belt, connected between the fixing point and the rod. The device may further comprise a handle next to the rod and connected to the bar via an extension of a free end of one of the arm pit hooks, and may further comprise a cushion formed on an extension of a free end of one of the arm pit hooks.

WASH BASIN DRAIN
The embodiments disclosed herein provide an adjustable wash basin drain wherein a fitting angle of the contact surfaces between the wash basin and the drain can be adjusted to achieve a better seal between the wash basin and the drain. The wash basin drain may include a split-type drain flange that includes an upper connector seat, a lower connector seat, and a flange connector. The upper connector seat is configured to snap fit to an upper end of a water discharge hole of the wash basin. The lower connector seat is connected to a water discharge pipe, and may be disposed beyond a bottom end of the wash basin. The flange connector connects the upper connector seat with the lower connector seat.

Pop-Up Drain Assembly
A pop-up drain assembly for a sink has drain piping, a stopper in the drain piping, a pivot rod for opening and closing the stopper and tends not to clog because the pivot rod is not within a fluid flow path. In one embodiment the stopper has flow diverter plates that channel fluid flowing through the drain piping away from the pivot rod so that hair, waste and debris does not catch on and accumulate on the pivot rod. In another embodiment the stopper and the pivot rod are engaged through magnetic coupling, and the pivot rod does not protrude into the fluid flow path. The stopper is preferably variable in length for adjustment to fit different distances from the pivot rod to the top of the drain piping.
