Abstract

A drain plug comprising of a plurality of polarity magnets arranged in an alternating fashion. The plurality of polarity magnets are arranged in line with the drain plug. A magnet cover envelops the plurality of polarity magnets for easy cleaning. The unique alternating arrangements of the plurality of polarity magnets help increase the magnetic gradient for stronger attraction forces for metal wear particles. The use of a plurality of polarity magnets also increase the surface area where the metal particles can be held.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A magnetic force enhanced drain plug comprises,
 a drain plug;   a plurality of polarity magnets;   a magnet cover;   the drain plug comprises of a threaded portion and a bolt head; and   the magnet cover comprises of a base brim.   
     
     
         2 . The magnetic force enhanced drain plug as claimed in  claim 1  comprises,
 the threaded portion having a tip end comprises of a magnet port; and 
 the magnet port being a cavity positioned on the tip end and traversing through the threaded portion. 
 
     
     
         3 . The magnetic force enhanced drain plug as claimed in  claim 2  comprises,
 the bolt head being connected to the threaded portion opposite to the magnet port. 
 
     
     
         4 . The magnetic force enhanced drain plug as claimed in  claim 2  comprises,
 the plurality of polarity magnets being inserted and secured inside the magnet port; and 
 the plurality of polarity magnets being arranged in alternating relationship with the polarities of each magnet positioned in alternating fashion. 
 
     
     
         5 . The magnetic force enhanced drain plug as claimed in  claim 4  comprises,
 wherein the alternating positioning of each of the plurality of polarity magnets creates a stronger magnetic field gradient. 
 
     
     
         6 . The magnetic force enhanced drain plug as claimed in  claim 1  comprises,
 the magnet cover having a base end; 
 the magnet cover being a sheath shaped to conform to the plurality of polarity magnets; and 
 the base brim being peripherally positioned on the base end. 
 
     
     
         7 . The magnetic force enhanced drain plug as claimed in  claim 6  comprises,
 the magnet cover being enveloped about the plurality of magnets. 
 
     
     
         8 . A magnetic force enhanced drain plug comprises,
 a drain plug;   a plurality of polarity magnets;   a magnet cover;   the drain plug comprises of a threaded portion and a bolt head;   the magnet cover comprises of a base brim;   the threaded portion having a tip end comprises of a magnet port;   the magnet port being a cavity positioned on the tip end and traversing through the threaded portion;   the magnet cover having a base end;   the magnet cover being a sheath shaped to conform to the plurality of polarity magnets; and   the base brim being peripherally positioned on the base end.   
     
     
         9 . The magnetic force enhanced drain plug as claimed in  claim 8  comprises,
 the bolt head being connected to the threaded portion opposite to the magnet port. 
 
     
     
         10 . The magnetic force enhanced drain plug as claimed in  claim 8  comprises,
 the plurality of polarity magnets being inserted and secured inside the magnet port; and 
 the plurality of polarity magnets being arranged in alternating relationship with the polarities of each magnet positioned in alternating fashion. 
 
     
     
         11 . The magnetic force enhanced drain plug as claimed in  claim 10  comprises,
 wherein the alternating positioning of each of the plurality of polarity magnets creates a stronger magnetic field gradient. 
 
     
     
         12 . The magnetic force enhanced drain plug as claimed in  claim 8  comprises,
 the magnet cover being enveloped about the plurality of magnets. 
 
     
     
         13 . A magnetic force enhanced drain plug comprises,
 a drain plug;   a plurality of polarity magnets;   a magnet cover;   the drain plug comprises of a threaded portion and a bolt head;   the magnet cover comprises of a base brim;   the threaded portion having a tip end comprises of a magnet port;   the magnet port being a cavity positioned on the tip end and traversing through the threaded portion;   the magnet cover having a base end;   the magnet cover being a sheath shaped to conform to the plurality of polarity magnets;   the base brim being peripherally positioned on the base end;   the plurality of polarity magnets being inserted and secured inside the magnet port; and   the plurality of polarity magnets being arranged in alternating relationship with the polarities of each magnet positioned in alternating fashion.   
     
     
         14 . The magnetic force enhanced drain plug as claimed in  claim 13  comprises,
 the bolt head being connected to the threaded portion opposite to the magnet port. 
 
     
     
         15 . The magnetic force enhanced drain plug as claimed in  claim 13  comprises,
 wherein the alternating positioning of each of the plurality of polarity magnets creates a stronger magnetic field gradient. 
 
     
     
         16 . The magnetic force enhanced drain plug as claimed in  claim 13  comprises,
 the magnet cover being enveloped about the plurality of magnets.
