Abstract
A drain engageable bowl having an interior cavity with an opening at a bottom end thereof. The opening aligns with an axial passage running though an annular projection connected to the bowl and aligned with the opening. The annular projection is adapted to frictionally engage with an interior of a sink drain, and hold the bowl elevated above the lower surface of a sink surrounding the drain. Sealable openings in the sidewall of the annular projection provide an actuable drain for fluid from the sink keeping it separated from the interior cavity of the bowl.
Claims18
A drain engageable bowl apparatus removably engageable with a drain opening of a sink, comprising:
- a bowl, said bowl having a sidewall having an interior surface and exterior surface;
- an interior cavity of said bowl defined by said interior surface of said sidewall, said interior cavity extending to an upper edge of said sidewall from a lower end of said interior cavity;
- a bowl opening communicating through said sidewall at a centrally located portion of said interior cavity at said lower end thereof;
- an annular projection having a first end and a distal end and having an axial passage running therethrough within an annular sidewall;
- said first end of said annular projection in a sealed connection to said sidewall of said bowl, in a position aligning said axial passage with said bowl opening;
- an exterior circumference area of said annular projection positioned between said first end and said distal end thereof, said exterior circumference area adapted in size for a frictional engagement with an interior circumferential surface of a sink drain opening communicating through a bottom surface of a sink;
- and
- said annular projection in said frictional engagement holding said bowl in an elevated position with said sidewall of said bowl elevated a distance above said bottom surface of said sink.
