Abstract
A drain guard, for use in sinks having a drain, a bottom wall and a side wall, wherein the drain guard includes a screen for holding debris away from the sink drain. A seal, which abuts sealingly against the sink side wall, is disposed between the screen and the sink side wall to prevent debris from passing between the side wall and the screen, the seal and the screen being fixed in a frame which holds the screen a predetermined distance from the sink bottom. The frame includes a pair of arched bands which are useful as handles for moving the drain guard into, and out of the sink. In addition, the arched bands of a sink installed drain guard support heavy pots and other utensils away from the screen.
