A drain plug device is provided with a plug lid, a mounting member inserted in an overflow port, an operation handle provided corresponding to an opening of the mounting member at one end thereof so as to protrude from a surface of a sidewall, a transmission member configured to transmit a driving force generated by a pivoting operation of the operation handle to the plug lid side, and a handle moving mechanism capable of moving the operation handle. The handle moving mechanism is configured to make an amount of protrusion of the operation handle with respect to the surface of the sidewall when the drain port is open smaller than an amount of protrusion of the operation handle with respect to the surface of the sidewall when the drain port is closed. Whereby a good draining efficiency at the overflow port side is secured when draining is performed therethrough.

A drain cover is adapted for covering a drain device which is mounted to a drain carrier. The drain cover includes a grid member and a weight member. The grid member has a coupling portion and a grid portion that is adapted to be disposed on the drain carrier and to surround the drain device. The grid portion is flexible, cooperates with the coupling portion to define a receiving space, and is formed with a plurality of grid holes. At least one of the coupling portion and the grid portion has a thermochromic section that is capable of changing colors due to a change in temperature. The weight member is coupled to the coupling portion of the grid member, and is adapted to be disposed over the valve of the drain device.

The presently disclosed subject matter is directed to an apparatus for releasably sealing a pipe. Particularly, the apparatus comprises a bar that includes an interior, an exterior, a first end that includes external threads, and a second end that includes a stop. The device further comprises a sleeve positioned over a portion of the bar, and a coupling comprising internal threads that couple to the bar external threads. The device includes a compressible gasket sandwiched between first and second adaptors. Advancement of the coupling over the bar external threads increases pressure on the sleeve, which compresses the gasket between the first and second adaptors.

The drain pipe cleaner plumbing tool is a set of tools that allow an individual to clean a clogged drain and to reduce the likelihood of future blockages. It comprises a cap to replace the retaining nut after the pivot rod and built-in stopper are removed from a sink, a tool that reaches into a drain line all the way to the wall and pulls out foreign material, a mesh drain liner that collects foreign objects near the drain hole where they can be easily removed, and a manual stopper that mates with the mesh drain liner.

Apparatus and associated methods relate to a hair-shavings collecting sheet that includes at least four peel-back adhesives, in an exemplary embodiment, in each corner on the surface of one side of the sheet to releasably couple the sheet to a surface, such as a bathroom sink, where the adhesive may be optional for use due to the peel-off cover on the adhesives. In an illustrative example, the sheet may be formed of a polymer and made of (oxo-) biodegradable or recycled materials. The sheet may include multiple different adhesive locations disposed around the sheet, for example. In some implementations, the adhesive may have complementary release liners. A sheet with adhesive may securely but releasably keep the sheet in place, thus preventing spillage of shaved hair.
