Strainers and plugs

Abstract

Strainer and/or plugs that comprises a circumferential ring, a middle concave part and a circumferential side. The ring is characterized as being at least 15 mm wide.

1 . An extra-thin and flexible disposable strainer, having a thickness of between 150 and 350 μm. 
     
     
         2 . The strainer of  claim 1 , incorporated in a sink/bath that comprises a surface and a drain, wherein the strainer is configured to fit over the sink's/bath's drain and adhere to the sink/bath surface adjacent to the drain, the strainer characterized as having a rim extending to at least 5 mm onto the sink/bath surface. 
     
     
         3 . The strainer  claim 1 , further comprising a circumferential ring, a middle concave and perforated part and a circumferential side, wherein the ring is characterized as being at least 15 mm wide. 
     
     
         4 . (canceled) 
     
     
         5 . The strainer of  claim 3 , made of a material that self-adheres to a wet sink surface. 
     
     
         6 . The strainer of  claim 1 , further comprising at least one lifting tab allowing the strainer to be lifted using a user's finger. 
     
     
         7 . The strainer of  claim 1 , comprised of materials that can be printed upon. 
     
     
         8 . The strainer of  claim 3 , further comprising tiny protrusions in the bottom of said middle concave and perforated part. 
     
     
         9 . (canceled) 
     
     
         10 . The strainer of  claim 1 , composed of two strainers that are positioned one over the other and are joined in a way that enables them to be rotated in relation to one another. 
     
     
         11 . (canceled) 
     
     
         12 . The strainer of  claim 4   6 , wherein said at least one lifting tabs is marked to allow easy identification of the lifting tabs. 
     
     
         13 . The strainer of  claim 4   6 , wherein said at least one lifting tab is configured to allow breaking the adherence of the strainer to a sink/bath surface. 
     
     
         14 . The strainer of  claim 1 , comprising recyclable or recycled materials. 
     
     
         15 . The strainer of  claim 1 , comprising materials selected from a group of materials comprising PLA, PET, PP and PS, with the proviso that the materials exclude materials that lose mechanical strength within hours of contact with liquid. 
     
     
         16 . The strainer of  claim 14 , further comprising a material that catalyzes or facilitates decomposition or degradation of the strainer. 
     
     
         17 . The strainer of  claim 1 , produced by Vacuum forming/thermo-forming. 
     
     
         18 . (canceled) 
     
     
         19 . The strainer of  claim 3 , wherein the material from which the strainer is made of is sufficiently flexible to allow picking the strainer as a sack. 
     
     
         20 . The strainer of  claim 3 , wherein the rim is sufficiently wide to prevent refuse from falling in a sink's drain when the strainer is removed from the sink. 
     
     
         21 . The strainer of  claim 3 , wherein the circumferential rim is sufficiently wide to collect refuse not reaching a sink's/bath drain when the strainer is placed over the drain. 
     
     
         22 . The strainer  claim 7 , wherein all top surfaces of the strainer including the circumferential ring, the middle part, and the circumferential side are printed. 
     
     
         23 . Vacuum forming/Thermoforming strainer. 
     
     
         24 . (canceled) 
     
     
         25 . The strainer of  claim 14 , further comprising OXO. 
     
     
         26 . The strainer of  claim 3 , wherein the ring is at least 20 mm wide. 
     
     
         27 . A strainer for a sink hole having a middle concave and perforated part and a circumferential side comprising:
 a circumferential ring of at least 15 mm wide; and   at least one lifting tab provided on said circumferential ring allowing the strainer to be lifted using a user's finger.   
     
     
         28 . The strainer of  claim 27 , wherein said at least one lifting tab is provided on an outer edge of said circumferential ring.
