Problems solved by technology

Furthermore, it can be appreciated that simultaneously meeting these various functional goals of a processor's throat bulkhead with a single bulkhead can be challenging, especially where several of these functional goals tend to conflict severely with each other
As already discussed, while some conventional baffles are capable of providing significant noise attenuation, such conventional baffles may suffer from one or more side effects due to the design features provided to achieve this noise attenuation

Embodiment Construction

[0039] The present disclosure is intended to encompass any of various dividers, food disposer systems employing such dividers, or methods of operating, assembling, processing, manufacturing, or implementing dividers or food waste disposer systems. In at least some such embodiments, so long as the diaphragm has flaps (rather than folds) and one or more components or features that tend to maintain the flaps in the closed position or return to the closed position when not in the closed position , it can be regarded as a movable partition. In at least some such embodiments, one or more of the components or features may include a living hinge by which the flaps are linked to an external support portion of the bulkhead, such as a rim portion or a support ring structure, such that the flaps, flaps, The hinge and the outer support part are integrally formed. In at least some other embodiments, one or more components or features may include an elastic band. With this configuration, t...

Abstract

A baffle (100) for food waste disposers and a method of assembling such a baffle or baffle systems are disclosed herein. The baffle includes a rim portion (102), a plurality of flaps (104), and a plurality of living hinges(1904, 2404), where the rim portion (102), living hinges (1904, 2404), and flaps (104) constitute a single integrally- formed structure. The respective living hinges (1904, 2404)permit each flap to be rotatable about an axe that is substantially tangent to the rim portion (102), so that each flap can be rotated to a closed position. Either the living hinges (1904, 2404) or at least one additional component (108, 1307) tend to cause the flaps to return to the closed positions and to remain in it.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to waste disposers, such as food waste disposers, and more particularly, to partitions or splash guards or features of such waste disposers, and methods of operation, assembly, processing, manufacture or implementation thereof. Background technique [0002] In conventional food waste disposers, a partition or splash guard is usually provided at the throat opening. For example in some food waste disposers the throat divider is inserted into the sink opening (filter flange) and is removable by the user from the sink side. Also, for example in some other food waste disposers, the divider is integrated with the mounting gasket and can only be removed when the entire disposer is removed from the sink. [0003] Depending on the embodiment, the divider of the food waste disposer may serve any of a variety of different purposes. For example, in at least some conventional embodiments, the baffle prevents splashing or ejection of...
