Abstract

A Clear Lavatory Under sink Drain Assembly with removable drain trap & Safety Clips, comprised of three piece clear Plastic tubular pipe members, a removable top & bottom closures, with a noncorrosive rubber gasket and a safety clip attached to the wire clips that hold the bottom housing portion to create air and water tight integrity snap clip seal to withstand hydrostatic pressure. Also, the clear bottom cup like housing has built in safety clips to unsnap to allow for clogs or loose items to be easily retrievable without obstructing the natural flow of water. The Clear bottom cup like housing has a closure outlet deepened to allow retrieval of foreign small objects.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A waste drain pipe trap comprising:
 (a) a curved pipe member having a first end and a second end and a dip member having a first end and a second end and a dip portion there between, said pipe member adapted to be placed intermediate a drain pipe line, said first end adapted to be attached to said drain pipe line to receive fluid flow and said second end adapted to be attached to said drain pipe line to deliver said fluid to said pipe line and said dip portion having an opening there across;   (b) blocking means adapted to be placed along a vertical cross section of said dip portion of said pipe member, said blocking means comprised of a grid like screen adapted to interrupt foreign matter in the fluid flowing there through, said blocking means having substantially vertical opposing side edges;   (c) a bottom closure member for closing said dip portion opening, including channel means for supporting said blocking means along said side edges thereof; and   (d) locking means for removable attaching said bottom closure member and said blocking means to said curved pipe member.   
     
     
         2 . The waste drain pipe trap of  claim 1 , wherein said vertical cross section comprises the planar cross section of said pipe member having the maximum volume of fluid flowing there through. 
     
     
         3 . The waste drain pipe trap of  claim 1 , wherein said locking means include a pair of “U” shaped clips extending from said curved pipe member and adapted to engage and disengage said bottom closure member. 
     
     
         4 . The waste drain pipe trap of  claim 1 , wherein said waste drain trap is made of a transparent material so that foreign objects trapped in said bottom closure member can be seen. 
     
     
         5 . The waste drain pipe trap of  claim 1  wherein said bottom closure member has an elongated deep cup shaped to provide a reservoir for holding foreign objects held by said blocking means. 
     
     
         6 . The waste drain pipe trap of  claim 5  wherein said bottom closure member is narrower and substantially deeper than said curved pipe member to provide a reservoir for holding foreign objects which pass said blocking means from the main flow path of said curved pipe member down into said reservoir. 
     
     
         7 . The waste drain pipe trap of  claim 5 , wherein said waste drain trap is transparent to permit observation of foreign objects held therein. 
     
     
         8 . A waste drain pipe traps comprising:
 (a) A conduit having an inlet end, an outlet end, and a dip portion there between with a bottom opening there into;   (b) A bottom closure member for closing said opening;   (c) a blocking member comprising a vertical grid having substantially vertical opposing side edges, said blocking member side edges being mounted in substantially vertical channels in said bottom closure member so that said blocking member is positioned along a vertical cross section of said dip portion when said bottom closure member closes said opening; and   (d) means for detachably securing said bottom closure member to said dip portion of said conduit.   
     
     
         9 . The waste drain pipe trap of  claim 8 , wherein said vertical cross section comprises the planar cross section of said conduit having the maximum volume of fluid flowing there through. 
     
     
         10 . The waste drain pipe trap of  claim 8 , wherein said means for detachably securing said bottom closure member further includes a pair of “U” shaped clips extending from said conduit and adapted to engage and disengage said bottom closure member. 
     
     
         11 . The waste drain pipe trap of  claim 8  wherein said bottom closure member has an elongated deep cup shape to provide a reservoir for holding foreign objects held by said blocking member. 
     
     
         12 . The waste drain pipe trap of  claim 11  wherein said bottom closure member is narrower and deeper than said conduit to providing a reservoir for holding foreign objects which pass said blocking member from the main flow path of said dip portion down into said reservoir.
