Sink Drain Conditioning Systems and Methods

Abstract

This disclosure is directed towards a sink drain conditioning system that comprises a sink drain conditioning composition and a sink drain device, wherein the device houses the composition, provides for at least partial exposure of the composition, and is geometrically configured for placement within a sink drain.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A system to condition a drain comprises:
 a device for placement within a sink drain and a drain conditioning composition housed by the device.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the device comprises an upper housing portion and a lower housing portion, such that the upper housing portion and the lower housing portion mate together to comprise an internal space to house the drain conditioning composition. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 2 , wherein at least one of the upper and lower housing portion further comprises at least one opening to partially expose the internally housed drain conditioning composition. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 3 , wherein at least one of the upper and lower housing portions further comprises a window to view the internally housed drain conditioning composition. 
     
     
         5 . The system  claim 4  wherein the drain conditioning composition comprises a bio-pesticide. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 5 , wherein the upper and lower hosing portions comprise interlocking mechanisms to secure the upper and lower housing portions together. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  6 , wherein the system nests co-operatively adjacent about the inner perimeter of the drain wall. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 8  wherein the upper housing portion further comprises a flange extending radially outward about the outer perimeter of the upper housing portion. 
     
     
         9 . A device to condition a drain comprises:
 a drain conditioning composition and a toroidial support for the drain conditioning composition.   
     
     
         10 . The device of  claim 9 , wherein the drain conditioning composition comprises a dissolvable solid material comprising a bio-pesticide. 
     
     
         11 . The device of  claim 10 , wherein the support comprises a configuration to maintain the drain conditioning composition proximate to a drain opening. 
     
     
         12 . The device of  claim 11 , wherein the support further comprises an indicator to determine replacement of the drain conditioning composition by a user. 
     
     
         13 . The device of  claim 12 , wherein the support internally houses the drain conditioning composition. 
     
     
         14 . A method to manufacture a drain conditioning system comprises:
 fabricating a device for placement within a sink drain and manufacturing a drain conditioning composition to be housed by the device.   
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein fabricating the device comprises fabricating an upper housing portion and fabricating a lower housing portion, such that the upper housing portion and the lower housing portion mate together to comprise an internal space to house the manufactured drain conditioning composition. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein at least one of the fabricated upper and lower housing portion further comprises at least one fabricated opening to partially expose the internally housed drain conditioning composition. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein at least one of the fabricated upper and lower housing portions further comprises a fabricated window to view the internally housed drain conditioning composition. 
     
     
         18 . The method  claim 17  wherein the manufactured drain conditioning composition comprises a bio-pesticide. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 18 , wherein the fabricated upper and lower hosing portions comprise fabricated interlocking mechanisms to secure the upper and lower housing portions together. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 19 , wherein the fabricated upper housing portion further comprises a fabricated flange extending radially outward about the outer perimeter of the upper housing portion.
