Garbage Disposal Sink Drain Safety Device

Abstract

A sink drain accessory is provided for assisting a user with disposal of waste materials into a sink drain, while preventing solid objects within the sink from entering the drain. The device comprises a hollow conduit, a funnel portion attached to the upper edge thereof, a sealing rim and sealing rails to provide liquid seals within the drain and maintain the device in a balanced position, along with a plunger tool. The sealing rim is horizontally disposed along the base of the hollow conduit, while the sealing rails are vertically disposed around the outer surface of the hollow conduit. Drain apertures are positioned above the sealing rim to allow liquid to flow from the sink and into the device. Liquid and solid waste may be placed within the funnel portion of the device by a user and pushed down into the sink drain with the aid of the plunger tool.

1 ) A sink drain accessory, comprising:
 a cylindrical hollow conduit with an upper and lower edge and an outer surface;   said upper edge having a funnel portion extending upwardly therefrom;   a plurality of sealing rails vertically disposed along said conduit outer surface;   a plurality of drain apertures positioned between said sealing rails along said hollow conduit and above said sealing rim.   
     
     
         2 ) A device as in  claim 1 , further comprising said lower edge having a sealing rim, horizontally disposed along said outer surface and extending radially outward. 
     
     
         3 ) The device of  claim 1 , further comprising a plunging means for forcing material through said conduit. 
     
     
         4 ) The device of  claim 1 , wherein said sealing rails are equally spaced around said conduit outer surface. 
     
     
         5 ) The device of  claim 1 , wherein said drain apertures are disposed in equal number between said sealing rails. 
     
     
         6 ) The device of  claim 3 , wherein said plunging means comprises a handle secured to a first end of a supporting rod, and a working end secured to a second end of said supporting rod. 
     
     
         7 ) The device of  claim 6 , wherein said working end is a disc having a flat bottom surface. 
     
     
         8 ) The device of  claim 6 , wherein said working end has a convex conical shape. 
     
     
         9 ) A sink drain accessory, comprising:
 a cylindrical hollow conduit with an upper and lower edge and an outer surface;   said upper edge having a funnel portion extending upwardly therefrom;   said lower edge having a sealing rim, horizontally disposed along said outer surface and extending radially outward;   a plurality of sealing rails vertically disposed along said conduit outer surface;   a plurality of drain apertures positioned between said sealing rails along said hollow conduit and above said sealing rim.   
     
     
         10 ) The device of  claim 9 , further comprising a plunging means for forcing material through said conduit. 
     
     
         11 ) The device of  claim 10 , wherein said plunging means comprises a handle secured to a first end of a supporting rod, and a working end secured to a second end of said supporting rod. 
     
     
         12 ) The device of  claim 11 , wherein said working end is a disc having a flat bottom surface. 
     
     
         13 ) The device of  claim 11 , wherein said working end has a convex conical shape. 
     
     
         14 ) A sink drain accessory, comprising:
 a cylindrical hollow conduit with an upper and lower edge and an outer surface;   said upper edge having a funnel portion extending upwardly therefrom;   said lower edge having a sealing rim, horizontally disposed along said outer surface and extending radially outward;   a plurality of sealing rails vertically disposed along said conduit outer surface;   a plurality of drain apertures positioned between said sealing rails along said hollow conduit and above said sealing rim;   a plunging means for forcing material through said conduit.   
     
     
         15 ) The device of  claim 14 , wherein said plunging means comprises a handle secured to a first end of a supporting rod, and a working end secured to a second end of said supporting rod. 
     
     
         16 ) The device of  claim 15 , wherein said working end is a disc having a flat bottom surface. 
     
     
         17 ) The device of  claim 15 , wherein said working end has a convex conical shape.
