ABSTRACT:
A receptacle for temporary retention of fluid as well as for routing fluid from a basin faucet to a basin drain. One disclosed embodiment includes a body member, a valve, a base member, anchoring means and a spacing plate. The body member is positionable beneath the faucet and has an open bowl portion into which water from the faucet can flow. Joined to the base of the bowl portion is a hollow neck portion in which a valve is positioned. The valve is manually operable to open or close a passageway through the neck and thus the valve controls the retention and release of water from within the bowl portion. The anchoring means includes a stem-like member on which compressible, triangularly-shaped bosses are formed. The bosses effect an interference fit with the inner walls of the drain to secure the receptacle in an upright position. The base which is joined to the neck portion includes a flange which rests atop the spacing plate. The spacing plate which has a series of radially extending grooves on its bottom surface, is contiguous to the basin and surrounds the drain opening when the anchoring means are fully inserted into the drain. Water within the basin is allowed to drain by passing through the radially extending grooves while the bowl portion retains water when the valve is in a closed position. In the event the spacing plate is removed, the flange is flexible enough to seal around the drain and thereby prevents water within the basin from escaping through the drain. With the valve open, the receptacle always permits water from the faucet to pass directly to the drain and not enter the basin or mix with water which is retained within the basin.
