Abstract

The strainer for the drain assembly is formed of a cup-shaped body having an outer peripheral wall with slots for draining water, an upraised central portion having an inner peripheral wall with slots for draining water and a floor extending between the two walls with openings for draining water. A bail is pivotally secured to the upright central portion for manipulating the strainer. This strainer also has a plurality of tabs which extend outwardly of the body to interfit with a retainer within a sink for securement purposes.
