Disposal splash guard

The present invention provides a disposal splash guard that enables water flowing into the disposal splash guard to be directed through peripheral openings in the disposal splash guard. The disposal splash guard comprises a body and a baffle. A size of the peripheral openings is operable to direct water flowing into the disposal splash guard through the peripheral openings in the baffle. At least one of a shape of the body and a shape of the baffle is operable to direct water flowing into the disposal splash guard through the peripheral openings in the baffle. At least one of a size of the peripheral openings, a shape of the body, and a shape of the baffle is operable to direct at least ten percent of water flowing into the disposal splash guard through the peripheral openings in the baffle.

SINK SYSTEM AND COMPONENTS

A sink system includes a sink basin and a disposal system. The disposal system includes a first inlet coupled to the sink basin, a second inlet fluidly coupled to a second fluid source, and a garbage disposal configured to receive a first flow of fluid from the sink basin via the first inlet and receive a second flow of fluid from a second fluid source via the second inlet. The sink basin delivers a flow of used water to the disposal system and the second fluid source delivers a flow of clean water to the disposal system.

GARBAGE DISPOSAL SYSTEM
20220356687 · 2022-11-10 ·

A garbage disposal system includes a garbage disposer, a switch box, a push button assembly, and an illumination source. The garbage disposer resides between a sink and a drain pipe. The switch box is electrically coupled to a power source and to the electric motor of the garbage disposer. The switch box includes a pneumatically-operable electrical switch that completes a circuit upon being triggered to power the electric motor. The push button assembly includes a pneumatic line coupled to the electrical switch and a button coupled to the pneumatic line. The button is accessible from above the sink. The push button assembly pneumatically activates the electrical switch upon the button being pushed, activating the electric motor. The illumination source is electrically coupled to the switch box and radiates light visible above the sink in response to the pneumatic activation of the electrical switch.

Control Circuits For Disposer Motors

A disposal assembly includes a motor coupled to operate a grinding mechanism of a food waste disposer. A first switch is coupled to selectively inhibit the supply of power from a power source to a main winding of the motor, and a second switch is coupled to selectively inhibit the supply of power from the power source to a start winding of the motor. A control circuit is configured to close the first and second switches during an initial startup time period, detect a voltage of at least one of the windings, and open the second switch in response to detection of the voltage above a start voltage threshold value. The control circuit is also configured to subsequent to opening the second switch, close the second switch in response to detection of the voltage below a low voltage threshold value indicative of an excess load condition of the motor.
