Abstract:
In one aspect, a system may generally include a waste disposal having a disposal inlet and a disposal conduit in fluid communication with the waste disposal. The disposal conduit may include an inlet end and an outlet end, with the outlet end being fluidly connected to the disposal inlet of the waste disposal. The system may also include a supply conduit in fluid communication with a water supply. The supply conduit may include a discharge end spaced apart from the inlet end such that an air gap is defined between the disposal conduit and the supply conduit. In addition, the system may include a housing at least partially surrounding the air gap and an air gap switch provided in association with the housing. The air gap switch may be configured to control a supply of power to the waste disposal.
Abstract:
A dispenser is provided having a nozzle that can direct light down a stream of liquid exiting therefrom. The nozzle includes one or more features to promote a substantially laminar flow of liquid therethrough. This construction can allow the light to travel farther down the stream of liquid exiting the nozzle than in e.g., non-laminar flow. Such light transmission can allow the user to more accurately view the dispenser and liquid flow when filling a container with liquid.
Abstract:
In one aspect, a waste disposal for processing waste may generally include a housing and a motor disposed within the housing. The housing may include an inlet defining an open area through the top of the housing. The motor may define a rotational axis. In addition, the waste disposal may include a cutter plate coupled to the motor. The cutter plate may include an upper surface, a side surface and an outer edge defined around an outer perimeter of the cutter plate. The upper surface may define a high point and may have a sloped portion angled downwardly from the high point towards the outer edge. The cutter plate may also define a cutter plate area directly below the open area defined by the inlet. The high point may be defined along the outer surface at a radial location between the cutter plate area and the outer edge.
Abstract:
In one aspect, a waste disposal for processing waste may generally include a housing and a motor disposed within the housing. The motor may include a stator and a rotor rotatable relative to the stator. The rotor may include a top wall disposed axially above the stator and a sidewall extending axially from the top wall. The sidewall may extend circumferentially around an outer perimeter of the stator such that the sidewall rotates relative to the stator when the rotor is rotated.
Abstract:
An appliance is provided. The appliance includes a cabinet that defines a chamber. A container is received within the chamber. A biasing member is configured for urging the container upwardly along a vertical direction. By urging the container upwardly, the biasing member can lift the container and facilitate access to the container.
