ABSTRACT:
A sink basket and plug assembly comprising a basket portion and a plug portion. The basket portion includes a well having at least one fluid passageway extending therethrough. The plug portion is at least partially receivable within the well and has an open and a closed position. When closed the plug restricts the passage of fluids through the fluid passageway. When open the plug permits the flow of fluid through said fluid passageway. At least one of the basket portion and the plug portion includes an indexing member and the other includes an indexing receiver. The indexing member is releasably receivable within the indexing receiver and retains the plug in its open position. Movement of the plug from its open to its closed position requires the application of a lifting force to the plug to dislodge the indexing member from the indexing receiver.
