Abstract

A method for collecting and therefor separating sink debris from other in-sink contents (dishes for example) and allow for liquids to drain simultaneously into the sink drain hole. This method is completed by installing a sink debris collection and transfer apparatus utilizing in-sink physical space. The method of installation and use of such apparatus is disclosed.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A method of utilizing an in-sink collection and transfer apparatus comprising the steps of:
 Visually inspect the sink drain opening of the sink drain hole prior to installation of said apparatus, Ensure a clear opening of the sink drain hole, Ensure no additional sink apparatus reside in the sink flange space in a manner that would impede the sealing of said apparatus with the sink flange, Manually install said sink apparatus within the sink flange in a manner that allows a sealing connection with said sink flange and the outer wall of the apparatus, and;   Ensure the sink apparatus is installed in a manner that allow weep holes to be used effectively for sink liquid transfer from the sink floor through the apparatus and ultimately into the sink drain or garbage disposal.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein said utilizing an in-sink collection and transfer apparatus comprises of an apparatus wherein utilizing the in-sink physical space to collect and transfer sink debris to said sink drain opening. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein said utilizing an in-sink collection and transfer apparatus comprises of an apparatus wherein utilizing the in-sink physical space to collect and transfer sink debris to said sink drain when said apparatus comprises of a circular orifice, or debris feed orifice, located in the in-sink physical space and is creating a sealing connection, either water tight or non-water right, to said sink floor or sink drain hole flange. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 3 , wherein said sealing connection to said sink floor or sink drain hole flange comprises of a water tight or non-water tight connection. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein said manually install said sink apparatus within the sink flange in a manner that allows a sealing connection with said sink flange and the outer wall of the apparatus is said outer wall wherein said wall is a singular wall. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein said manually install said sink apparatus within the sink flange in a manner that allows a sealing connection with said sink flange and the outer wall of the apparatus comprises also of installation upon sink floor where applicable.
