Abstract: A safety device for protecting ones' hands while stuffing waste material into the comminuting chamber of a powered disposer having its comminuting chamber aligned with a drain passage enclosed by a flanged sleeve depending from the sink basin through its drain opening and from which the powered disposed is suspended. An axially elongated plunger body of the safety device extends through the drain passage into the comminuting chamber while supported by its apertured cover plate resting on the flange of the sleeve thereby spacing the lower impaction end from the disposer cutter blades.
