Abstract
The CLEAR VIEW DRAIN is an improvement upon existing sink traps used primarily in residential sinks. Specifically, the CLEAR VIEW DRAIN is clear—to permit easy identification and location of clogs—and includes an easily accessible and manipulated clean out mechanism to permit removal of the clog without chemicals or disassembly of the entire drain.
Claims1
I claim as my invention the following attributes of the CLEAR VIEW DRAIN, in combination:
- 1) the transparent easily removable screw-in plug 2) its location at the bottom of the curve of the trap 3) the use of clear plastic to construct the trap and 4) the cavity in the clean-out plug would act as a catch basin to capture any valuables that may be accidentally dropped in the sink and find their way into the trap, by removing the clean-out plug the valuables may be retrieved. These attributes, together, are responsible for the utility of the invention.
- No claim is made to the invention of any single part of the drain, which is composed of readily available commercial parts except for the use of the clear plastic, however, its appearance, construction, and design are claimed as oginal:
