  • Food waste disposer with self-compensating bearing assembly
    Patent number: 8579218
    Abstract: A food waste disposer system, including a food conveying section and a motor section. A grinding section is coupled between the food conveying section and the motor section. The motor section includes an electric motor having a rotor. The rotor has a rotor shaft entrained in at least one self-compensating bearing assembly. In an aspect, the self-compensating bearing assembly has a split spherical bearing and a compressive bearing pocket.
    Type: Grant

  • Switch assembly for food waste disposer
    Publication number: 20040014333
    Abstract: A switch assembly usable in a food waste disposer is disclosed having several improvements over the prior art. The switch assembly positively retains an overload switch, making assembly of the switch into the disposer easier. The switch assembly includes terminals, which attach to the start and run windings of the disposer. The terminals are arranged in a uniform direction along a single side of the switch assembly. This arrangement allows a single, integrated connector of winding leads to be easily connected to the switch assembly, facilitating assembly and reducing the possibility of incorrectly wiring the disposer during construction.
