Decorative pop-up flange replacement

Abstract

A drain replacement assembly including a flange having a downwardly extending lip configured to be received within a drain pipe, an annular seat extending radially outwardly from the lip, and at least one retaining finger extending axially downwardly from the lip. The lip of the flange is inserted within a drain pipe opening, the annular seat of the flange is positioned atop an annular seat of the drain pipe, and the at least one retaining finger engages a portion of the drain pipe to secure the flange to the drain pipe.

1 . A drain replacement assembly comprising:
 a drain pipe including an annular side wall defining a drain opening, and a drain annular seat extending radially outwardly from said side wall; and   a secondary flange including a downwardly extending annular lip sized to fit in said drain opening, and a flange annular seat extending radially outwardly from the annular lip;   said annular lip being at least partially inserted within said drain opening; and   said flange annular seat is positioned above said drain pipe to conceal said drain annular seat.   
     
     
         2 . The drain replacement assembly of  claim 1 , wherein said secondary flange further includes a plurality of fingers extending downwardly relative to said annular seat and configured to be retained by said drain pipe. 
     
     
         3 . The drain replacement assembly of  claim 2 , wherein each of said plurality of fingers includes a malleably bendable extension, said finger bent to engage a portion of said drain opening to secure said secondary flange to said drain. 
     
     
         4 . The drain replacement assembly of  claim 1 , further comprising an adhesive applied between said flange annular seat and said drain annular seat. 
     
     
         5 . The drain replacement assembly of  claim 1 , further comprising a stopper received within an opening defined by said annular lip of said secondary flange. 
     
     
         6 . The drain replacement assembly of  claim 5 , wherein said stopper includes a plunger, and a cap coupled to an upper end of said plunger. 
     
     
         7 . The drain replacement assembly of  claim 6 , wherein said stopper further includes an adjustable post extending downwardly from said plunger. 
     
     
         8 . The drain replacement assembly of  claim 1 , wherein said secondary flange is integrally formed from stamped metal. 
     
     
         9 . A drain replacement assembly comprising:
 a flange including a downwardly extending annular lip, a flange annular seat extending radially outwardly from the annular lip, and at least one malleably bendable finger extending downwardly from said annular lip and configured to be bent into at least one overflow hole in a drain pipe.   
     
     
         10 . The drain replacement assembly of  claim 9 , further comprising an adhesive applied to said flange annular seat. 
     
     
         11 . The drain replacement assembly of  claim 9 , further comprising a stopper received within an opening defined by said annular lip of said flange. 
     
     
         12 . The drain replacement assembly of  claim 11 , wherein said stopper includes a plunger, and a cap coupled to an upper end of said plunger. 
     
     
         13 . The drain replacement assembly of  claim 12 , wherein said stopper further includes an axially adjustable post extending downwardly from said plunger. 
     
     
         14 . The drain replacement assembly of  claim 9 , wherein said flange is integrally formed from stamped metal. 
     
     
         15 . The drain replacement assembly of  claim 9 , wherein said at least one malleable bendable finger includes a first finger and a second finger, said first finger being shorter in length than said second finger. 
     
     
         16 . A drain replacement assembly comprising:
 a flange including a downwardly extending annular lip, a flange annular seat extending radially outwardly from the annular lip, and at least one finger extending downwardly from said annular lip and configured to be retained within a drain pipe; and   a stopper received within an opening defined by the annular lip of the flange, the stopper including a plunger and a sealing ring supported by said plunger, said stopper being adjustable between a lowered sealed position and a raised unsealed position;   said sealing ring being in abutment with said annular lip when said stopper is in said sealed position and spaced from said annular lip when said stopper is in said unsealed position.   
     
     
         17 . The drain replacement assembly of  claim 16 , wherein said at least one finger comprises at least one malleably bendable finger, said at least one finger bent to engage a portion of a drain pipe to secure said flange to said drain pipe. 
     
     
         18 . The drain replacement assembly of  claim 17 , wherein said at least one malleable bendable finger includes a first finger and a second finger, said first finger being shorter in length than said second finger. 
     
     
         19 . The drain replacement assembly of  claim 16  further comprising an adhesive applied to said flange annular seat. 
     
     
         20 . The drain replacement assembly of  claim 16 , wherein said stopper includes a cap coupled to an upper end of said plunger. 
     
     
         21 . The drain replacement assembly of  claim 20 , wherein said stopper further includes an axially adjustable post extending downwardly from said plunger. 
     
     
         22 . The drain replacement assembly of  claim 16 , wherein said flange is integrally formed from stamped metal.
