This invention relates to a strainer assembly (2) for use in conjunction with a drain hole in a sink (10). The sink (10) comprises a downwardly extending drain sleeve (12) formed on the sink (10). The drain sleeve (12) is formed with inwardly extending flange (52, 56) adapted to engage the strainer assembly (2). The strainer assembly (2) comprises an inner strainer body (24) having outwardly extending flange (50, 54); an outer strainer body (30) having outwardly extending flange; a first gasket (28) positioned between the flange of the outer strainer body (30) and the bottom of the sink (10); and a fastening means (22) adapted to engage the inner strainer body (24) and the outer strainer body (30) such that the flange of the inner strainer body (24) is pressed against the flange of the drain sleeve (12) and the flange of the outer strainer body (30) is pressed against the bottom of the sink (10), allowing the strainer assembly (2) to be connected to the sink (10). The sealing and releasing of the drain is achieved by: a) sliding axially the pole 20 to engage or disengage the sealing means 18. b) pressing button 32 (or 40) that is attached to the locking mechanism and will engage or disengage the sealing means 18. |
