ABSTRACT:
A garbage disposal guard comprising a sleeve having an upper cylindrical wall portion and a lower cylindrical base portion of smaller diameter than the upper wall portion and joined thereto by a shoulder portion. The sleeve is adapted to be installed in the drain of a sink equipped with a garbage grinder with its shoulder portion seated on a portion of the sink surrounding the drain, its base portion extending down into the drain and its upper wall portion projecting up above the drain. Slots are provided in the sleeve to permit an adequate flow of water. The slots are sufficiently narrow to prevent flatware and the like from washing down the drain and into the grinder. The sleeve may be longitudinally split to permit it to be circumferentially squeezed or compressed so that it will fit drains of different sizes.
