Patent ID: 8201289

Claim:
A combined control for a basin overflow and basin drain, comprising: an operator mountable adjacent to the basin overflow; a drain closure valve mountable adjacent to the basin drain; a linkage extending between the operator and the drain closure valve such that rotation of a portion of the operator can cause movement of the drain closure valve between an open and a closed position; a seal portion of the operator mounted for axial movement between two axial positions; and a pop-out type activator portion of the operator linked to the seal, whereby a first push of the activator will move the seal from a first of the two axial positions to a second of the two axial positions, and a second push of the activator will pop the seal back to the first of the two axial positions; wherein rotation of the operator can control opening and closing of the drain closure valve and axial movement of the operator can control flow through the basin overflow; and wherein when the drain closure valve is in the closed position, the basin overflow can be either closed by the operator or not closed by the operator.
