Article catcher for sink drain

摘要

A tubular inlet portion (12) is connected to a sink drain outlet member. A tubular outlet portion (14) fits into and is connected to a drain pipe member that is a part of a standard drain system for a sink. An article falling through the sink drain opening will enter a housing (22, 24, 26) which includes a catcher wall (32). The article will first contact a conical center portion (36) of the catcher wall (32) and will then slide down onto an annular radial wall portion (34) of the catcher wall (32). Water entering the drain will pass through openings (38) and slots (40). The housing (22, 24, 26) has a clear plastic sidewall (24) through which the catcher wall (32) and any article on it can be viewed.
