Embodiment Construction

[0023] Referring to FIG. 1, a garbage disposer replacement unit according to the present invention is generally referenced by number 10 and is shown in an exploded view to show its installation to a kitchen sink 11 as well as a wall plumbing 12 typical in any kitchen setting. The kitchen sink 11 has a bus bowl 13 wherein dishes are washed as it drains wastes with running water from a faucet 14. At the bottom enter of the bus bowl 13 is formed a typical drain 15 with certain diameter terminated by outward flanges 16 for installing a waste treatment means such as a motorized garbage disposer, which the inventive sink unit 10 is replacing.

[0024] Different bus bowls with various drain diameters have produced and are available in the market. For, example, small drains are sized 3½″, 4″, 4½″, 5″, 5½″, 6″, and 6½″. Bigger drains include diameters of 7½″, 8″, 8½″ and 9″.

Abstract

A garbage disposer replacement unit includes a pre-rinse basket with food waste straining holes. A main body houses a tray slidingly suspended that retains small particles food waste via fine bottom perforations. The tray has a top opening larger than a drain diameter of an existing bus bowl in a kitchen. A plastic clip disc pairs with clip top members to clip the main body onto bus bowl flanges. The clip disc drain adapter adjusts and adapts the unit's outlet to different drain diameters of existing bus bowl fixtures. The clip disc and a top clip member constitute a clip assembly for adjustably clipping the unit main body to the given drain flange easily but securely. Optionally, a four-legged riser replaces the clip assembly to attach to the unit main body top for bus bowls with a flangeless standard drain fitting.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] A. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a garbage disposal, and more particularly to a garbage disposer unit for use in food industries to replace motorized disposers that have become an environmentally harmful way to dispose of food wastes. [0003] B. Description of Related Art [0004] Restaurant food waste from rinsed dirty dishes is an environmental problem. Garbage disposers are highly efficient at disposing of food waste at a high rate, unfortunately they have other problems. Drain waste has the potential to create public health hazards. Excessive food service waste can overburden community wastewater systems and consequently, the oceans and streams of our natural environment. In this regard, the currently popular powered garbage disposers are problematic. Heavy-duty disposers have a high initial cost and maintenance with lost operation time at busy restaurants when they need fast dish washing with food disposal. Some c...
