Under-Sink Adjustable Drip Tray

Abstract

This disclosure is an under-sink adjustable drip tray affixed to the base of sink cabinets to collect leaking water. The leaked water is collected in the tray and channeled through drains to the outside of the cabinet. The drains are placed on the edge of the cabinet frame and the cabinet door such that all water leavers the underside of the sink, keeping the cabinet free of any water damage. Furthermore, liner curtains can be affixed to the under-sink adjustable drip tray and the cabinet walls in order to capture any spills or water droplets that may cause splashing throughout the cabinet. As a result, the sink cabinets are kept dry and clean even when a plumber is repairing or maintaining the plumbing under the sink.

What is claimed is:
