ABSTRACT:
A drain operating member for a tub or like vessel includes an elongated shaft component having a plunger component on its lower end and a yoke portion on its upper end, the latter being provided with a series of longitudinally spaced apertures. The shaft component is constructed of a material that is relatively rigid and yet resiliently deflectable, to afford positive action to the plunger component while also facilitating installation and accommodating lateral movement produced by the lever. In preferred embodiments, the plunger component will comprise a plug for sealing engagement with an internal seat portion of the conduit assembly with which it is employed, and the shaft and plunger components will advantageously be integrally formed as a single piece. The operating member will preferably have a bifurcated yoke portion, and most desirably will be made from a readily severable material to permit facile alteration of its effective length.
