Laundering, Cleaning, Or Drying Tools Or Implements Patents (Class D32/35)
  • Patent number: 6718852
    Abstract: A garbage disposal plunger is provided that is designed to push refuse into a standard kitchen sink garbage disposal unit. The plunger apparatus includes four major sections: a knob portion, handle portion, stopper portion, and plunger portion. The knob portion is used to prevent the human hand of the user from slipping while gripping the device; the handle portion acts as a shank between the gripable knob and the plunger and, in conjunction with the knob portion, is designed to aid the human user of the device for maximum gripping capabilities and comfort. The stopper portion manifests a larger diameter which prevents the plunger portion of the device from contacting the blades of the garbage disposal, and prevents the human hand of the user from entering the garbage disposal. The plunger apparatus contains a liquid which can be dispensed through a spout which has a lid.

  • Patent number: 6634035
    Abstract: A plunger for use in manually pushing garbage down through the drain of a sink. The plunger is formed of a material that is sufficient light in weight for ease of use but also sufficiently hard to push the garbage. The plunger has a cylindrical shank that carries opposite bulbous distal ends. The distal ends have diameters which are sized larger than the shank so that a user can grasp either end to use as a hand hold while the other end pushes the garbage. The distal ends are shaped with flat pushing surfaces that have peripheral edges that are rounded to provide a smooth low friction action over the drain.
