Drain Cover

Listed on
2026-10-12
A bathroom drain cover with a retractable handle that stays hidden until rotated for easy lifting.

This technology features a drain cover designed to fit into the guide groove of a bathroom or balcony floor drain. It includes a handle that pivots on a central axis within a portion of the perforated cover, allowing the handle to remain hidden beneath the cover when not in use and emerge when the body is rotated.

Drain covers are typically sized to fit snugly within the guide groove to prevent hair and debris from escaping, which makes them difficult to lift from the floor for cleaning. While some products feature raised grips, these protrusions can create tripping hazards, leading to slips or falls.

This technology features a handle on the side opposite the flat base, with a protruding member that limits the rotation angle and snaps into an elastic insertion groove to secure the handle in both exposed and hidden positions. The body includes secondary drainage holes and a catch protrusion on the handle to further filter debris. The handle, made of an elastic rod-like material, can be detached from the coupling groove and may feature a multi-pronged end. Suitable for residential bathrooms and balconies, hotel bathrooms, and public shower facilities, this design maintains a flat surface to prevent tripping while allowing the cover to be easily lifted for cleaning by simply flipping the handle.

Key Features:
  • A cover portion with a rim facing the inner surface of the guide groove, featuring multiple primary drainage holes for wastewater discharge.
  • A body with a flat base, configured to rotate around a central axis and equipped with a protruding member to limit the rotation angle.
  • A handle positioned on the side opposite the base, located beneath the cover and exposed above the cover upon rotation of the body.
  • Elastic insertion grooves located on both sides of the body, which receive and compress the protruding member to secure the handle in both exposed and hidden states.
