Claim Text:
1. A drain stopper assembly for a bathtub having a drain aperture, the drain stopper assembly capable of being placed in uncompressed and compressed positions, comprising: a top cover; a gasket; a guide slide attached to the top cover; a guide rod having proximal and distal ends, the guide rod being capable of sliding within the guide slide; and a plurality of magnets including at least a first magnet located at the proximal end of the guide rod, and a second magnet located in the guide slide; wherein when downward pressure is applied to the top cover, the gasket is enabled to seal against the drain aperture, as the guide slide slides downwardly on the guide rod to a compressed, second position; and when the downward pressure to the top cover is released, and the guide slide is permitted to slide upwardly relative to the guide rod so that the drain stopper assembly is in the uncompressed position, the drain stopper assembly is facilitated in being maintained in the uncompressed position by a proximity of the first and second magnets.
