ABSTRACT:
A combined sink strainer and scrub brush unit (10) with or without a sink stopper disc (14) is provided which seats into a garbage disposal inlet (31) depending from a sink bottom (30a). A horizontal strainer base (11) has a series of drain apertures (17) therein and a series of spaced brush elements (12) either molded with the base (11) or attached to the base and depending from the base (11). A handle (15) is attached to the base (11) for manual removal of the unit (10) from the disposal inlet (31) and for hand-manipulating the unit (10) to scrape/scrub foodstuff and other debris from dish plates, cooking pots, and sink surfaces into the sink (30) and disposal inlet (31). A rubber stopper disc (14) is mounted on top of base (11) for rotational and sliding movement thereon. Radial drain holes (18) in the disc (14) are alignable with the base drain apertures (17) in a drain "open" position and are offset therefrom in a drain "closed" sealing position.
