PLUNGER AND EVAPORATIVE BASE
First Claim
1. An evaporative base for receiving a plunger, the evaporative base comprising:
- a generally cylindrical body having an inner volume;
a drainage bottom joined with the generally cylindrical body;
a standoff comprising a base and joined with the drainage bottom at the base of the standoff;
a bell receiver formed as a space between the inner volume of the generally cylindrical body and the standoff;
a first stump joined with the drainage bottom; and
a first stump channel joined with the first stump.

Abstract
A plunger with evaporative base is disclosed where the evaporative base has a standoff joined to a drainage bottom and a stump and stump channel arrangement for keeping the plunger suspended slightly above the drainage bottom. A plunger is disclosed that mates with the evaporative base and has a plunger bell standoff that mates with the evaporative base standoff to further keep the plunger suspended slightly above the drainage bottom. The outer perimeter of the bell of the plunger is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the evaporative base body to allow for air circulation between the plunger bell and the evaporative base. Good air circulation and drying promotes cleanliness and reduces the incidence of mold, mildew and bacteria on the plunger and base.
