Abstract

A garbage-disposal scraper-protector for use with a garbage disposal unit under a sink. A disk fits loosely in a lower portion of the drain opening of the sink and provides a plurality of narrow openings enabling water to flow at all times from the sink into the garbage disposal unit. A stem extends up from the top of the disk and a handle cross-member extends horizontally across the upper end of the stem. The cross-member is long enough to bridge the drain opening and prevent the disk from dropping below the drain opening. A short, flexible scraper is secured to and extends down from the bottom of the disk a distance only slightly below the drain opening and well above the operating portions of the garbage disposal unit. The entire scraper-protector is preferably a single integral molded member of plastic.
