Abstract

The invention resolves the choking problem of the existing sink strainers. The new design has a water outlet and a residues settlement area. See FIG. 7 for the concept design. The water outlet is designed at above the surface of the sink and the settlement area is at below the surface. The residues will eventually settle down in the settlement area when the water flows through the strainer. The water outlet will not be covered by the residues as it is above the surface. Having these two features in one will prevent the sinks from choking.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . The invention combines two features in the design to achieve the chokeless (Anti-Choke) solution. The features are as follow.
 A. Feature 1:
 The first feature is the filter (i.e. the area with holes) portion above the surface of the sink that prevents any settlement of residues and leave behind an outlet for the water to escape. See  FIG. 5 . 
   B. Feature 2:
 The second feature is the filter (i.e. the area with holes) portion below the surface of the sink that allows settlement of the residues so that the residues will not block up the first feature. See  FIG. 6   
   
     As long as a strainer design consists of the above mentioned two features in one, regardless of the forms and shapes that will be the claim. See  FIGS. 8 ,  9  and  10  for the sample designs in another forms and shapes
