ABSTRACT:
A combination drain pump/disposer is used with a vessel such as a dishwasher and includes a housing defining an impeller cavity, an inlet above the housing which communicates with the vessel, a pump outlet extending through a side wall of the cavity and communicating with the drain line, and a waste impeller positioned within the cavity. The impeller includes a disc-shaped base substantially parallel to and spaced slightly above the floor of the cavity, a plurality of soil-sizing orifices, an upstanding rim extending about a periphery of the base and including an inner wall defining a plurality of radially-extending, substantially vertical cutting edges and an outer wall defining a plurality of radially-extending, substantially vertical pumping vanes, and at least one breaker tooth extending upwardly from the base and positioned inwardly of the rim. The housing includes a cover plate having an opening concentric with the impeller and at least one stationary tooth providing a vertical cutting edge extending downwardly adjacent the inner wall such that rotation of the impeller causes the cutting edges and breaker tooth to pass by the stationary tooth to perform a shearing and cutting function.
