Claim:
A drain tray assembly, comprising: a drain tray having a plurality of liquid drain openings and a drain plug opening; a drain plug configured for complementary and secure resealable coupling into said drain tray at said drain plug opening; a first housing member that is substantially non-liquid porous and configured in a complementary manner with said drain tray such that when said drain tray is placed on said first housing member liquid flowing through said drain tray is received by said first housing member; and a second housing member that is substantially non-liquid porous and configured in a complementary manner with said drain tray and said first housing member so as to cover said drain tray; wherein said drain plug is configured to define a plurality of liquid drain openings therein and to include a substantially cylindrical side wall and a drain plate coupled thereto in which said plurality of drain plug liquid drain openings are provided; wherein said drain plug further comprises a circumferencial flange extending from said cylindrical side wall, said flange having a width of approximately 30% or more of the radius of said drain plate as bordered by said cylindrical side wall; wherein said first housing member includes a recess defining protrusion that is substantially aligned with said drain plug opening so that when said drain tray is placed on said first housing member without said drain plug, said recess is accessible through said drain plug opening; and wherein said drain tray is configured to have one of paired complementary mounting structures and said drain plug is configured to have the other of said mounting structures such that said paired complementary mounting structures positively engage to achieve the releasable secure coupling of said drain plug to said drain tray.
