Abstract:
A device used to conceal at least a portion of a wastewater strainer associated with a bathtub. More specifically, a plate having an opening therethrough is used to overlap a flange of the wastewater strainer wherein the opening in the plate generally coincides with an opening in the wastewater strainer so that the bathtub drain is unobstructed. The plate may include a downwardly extending lip to help facilitate orientation onto the flange of the wastewater strainer. The plate conceals the wastewater strainer, thereby facilitating reconfiguration of a bathtub as the existing wastewater strainer need not be removed and the plumbing system retested.

Claim (Index 21):
A concealing device for a wastewater strainer, the concealing device comprising:\n a plate defining an opening therethrough, wherein the plate is configured to couple to a flange of the wastewater strainer to conceal the flange; a hub disposed within the opening; and a stopper coupled to the hub, wherein the stopper is moveable between a closed position that engages at least a portion of the stopper with the plate and prevents fluid flow through the opening and an open position that releases at least a portion of the stopper from the plate and enables fluid flow through the opening.
