    Abstract: An overcurrent protection assembly for an appliance includes a cabinet configured to house the appliance, the cabinet including a body and a door, the door movable between an open position and a closed position. The overcurrent protection assembly further includes an overcurrent protection circuit, the overcurrent protection circuit including a switch and a current limiter. The switch is alternatable between an engaged position when the door is in the open position and a disengaged position when the door is in the closed position. The current limiter is in electrical communication with the switch when the switch is in the disengaged position and not in electrical communication with the switch when the switch is in the engaged position. Electricity flowing through the overcurrent protection circuit to the appliance flows at a high current level when the switch is in the engaged position and at a low current level when the switch is in the disengaged position.

    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 define an inner sidewall surface extending around an inner perimeter of the housing and a discharge outlet. The motor may include a stator and a rotor at least partially surrounding the stator. The rotor may include a sidewall defining an outer surface. The motor may be disposed within the housing such that an annular gap is defined between the inner sidewall surface of the housing and the outer surface of the sidewall. When the rotor is rotated relative to the stator, water may be drawn through the annular gap towards the discharge outlet.

    Abstract: An under-sink waste processing unit may generally include a housing defining an inlet and an outlet. The inlet may be configured to receive water and waste discharged from a waste disposal. The housing may also define a separation chamber in fluid communication with the inlet and a processing chamber separate from the separation chamber. The waste processing unit may also include a rotatable drive shaft extending within the separation chamber and a screw thread associated with the drive shaft. The screw thread may be configured to be rotated with the drive shaft within the separation chamber so as to at least partially separate the water from the waste received within the inlet. The separated waste may be configured to be dispersed from the separation chamber into the processing chamber for further processing thereof.

    Abstract: In one aspect, a cutter system for a waste disposal may generally include a cutter ring having an upper surface and a lower surface. In addition, the cutter ring may define a plurality of cutter slots. Each cutter slot may extend between a top end and a bottom end and may be defined by a first curved sidewall and a second curved sidewall. The first and second curved sidewalls may extend between the top and bottom ends such that each cutter slot defines a curved profile extending axially and circumferentially between the upper and lower surfaces of the cutter ring.

    Abstract: In one aspect, a water supply system for a waste disposal may include first and second supply conduits fluidly connected to separate water supplies, with the first supply conduit having a first discharge end and the second supply conduit having a second discharge end. The system may also include a disposal conduit fluidly connected to the first and second supply conduits. The disposal conduit may be spaced apart from the first and second conduits such that an air gap is defined between an inlet end of the disposal conduit and the first and second discharge ends. The inlet end may be configured to receive water expelled from the first and second supply conduits. Moreover, an outlet end of the disposal conduit may be configured to be in fluid communication with an inlet of the waste disposal such that water directed through the disposal conduit is received within the 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 water supply system for a waste disposal may generally include a supply conduit configured to be fluidly connected to a water supply, wherein the supply conduit has a discharge end. The system may also include a disposal conduit in fluid communication with the supply conduit and a supplementary conduit in fluid communication with a storage tank containing an additive fluid. The supplementary conduit may be configured to supply the additive fluid into the flow of water directed through the disposal conduit to create a water/additive fluid mixture within the disposal conduit. Moreover, an outlet end of the disposal conduit may be configured to be in fluid communication with a disposal inlet of the waste disposal such that the water/additive fluid mixture directed through the disposal conduit is received within the waste disposal.

    Abstract: In one aspect, a waste disposal for processing waste may generally include a motor defining a rotational axis, a cutter plate coupled to the motor for rotation therewith and a housing configured to encase the motor and the cutter plate. The housing may include an upper housing portion and a lower housing portion. The upper housing portion may define an inner surface at least partially forming a converging section of the upper housing portion. The upper housing portion may further define an inlet through the converging section. The inlet may be oriented relative to the housing such that water flowing through the inlet is directed into the housing at a non-radial flow angle. In addition, the inner surface may define a curved profile such that a grind chamber of the housing is substantially dome-shaped along the converging section.
