System and Method for Diverting the Flow of Liquid and Debris Around a Crossbar of a Drain.
A device and method for diverting the flow of water and debris around a crossbar of a drain is disclosed. The device comprises a funnel with a flexible chute, a flexible ring, a bottom surface, a first sidewall, and a second sidewall. The funnel may also comprise a gasket. The flexibility of the chute and the ring allow the funnel to be compressed to fit drains of various diameters. The chute may contain one or more slits or one or more louvers. The bottom surface of the funnel sits on the crossbar of the drain and diverts the flow of water and debris to a quadrant of the drain. The funnel and gasket comprise a thermoplastic. The funnel may be manufactured by a single-step injection molding process, a multi-step injection molding process, a liquid silicone rubber molding or a cutting-and-folding process.
