ABSTRACT:
A drain stopper having a lift mechanism or assembly and, optionally, a strainer assembly, is provided wherein a sealing member which may be a stopper plug or a flat disc is coupled to an elongate rod having a pair of legs extending in one direction and a handle extending in an opposite direction. The rod extends transversely across a top of the sealing member, and is coupled to the sealing member in a manner so as to permit rotation thereof. When the rod is rotated to urge the legs downwardly along the sides of the sealing member, the legs will engage the drain and, through lever or camming action, lift the sealing member upwardly from the drain. A strainer assembly includes a member extending downwardly from the underside of the sealing member which holds a screen at a lower extent of the extension member.
