A grill cover assembly in removably mounted within the peripheral shoulder sandwiching the flange members.
Claims7
A drain assembly, comprising:
- A) a vertical opening having four shaft walls perpendicular to each other defining a shaft with a rectangular cross-section and a common upper peripheral shoulder at a parallel and spaced apart relationship with respect to a horizontal ground level where said drain assembly is located;
- B) a basket assembly having four mesh walls smaller that said shaft walls, said mesh walls being also perpendicularly mounted to each other and further including a bottom mesh wall so that a cavity is defined therein for collecting debris, and each of said mesh walls includes an upper edge connected to each other and further including an outwardly extending flange member for each of said upper edges, said flange members being in one plane, and said outwardly extending flange members having cooperative dimensions to be supported by said peripheral shoulder and removably positioned thereon;
- and said basket assembly includes a bar member with two ends mounted inside said cavity below said flange members, said ends mounted, respectively, to opposite mesh walls;
- and
- C) a grill cover assembly having cooperative dimensions to be received within said peripheral shoulder and being removably mounted over said flange members.
