Foot Activated Pneumatic Garbage Disposal Switch System

Abstract

A foot activated pneumatic garbage disposal switch system includes a foot operated bladder, an air hose, an air switch adaptor, a sink base cabinet, and a garbage disposal unit. The foot operated bladder is externally mounted to a toe kick of the sink base cabinet, allowing the user to apply pressure onto the foot operated bladder. The air switch adaptor is internally positioned within the sink base cabinet and electrically connected to a power source of the sink base cabinet. The garbage disposal unit is positioned within the sink base cabinet and electrically connected to the air switch adaptor. The foot operated bladder and the air switch adaptor are pneumatically connected to each other by the air hose. When the pressure is applied to the foot operated bladder, the user is able to pneumatically activate the air switch adaptor thus electrically powering the garbage disposal unit.
