ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to a garbage disposal unjamming device which enables a user to easily unjam a garbage disposal by rotation of blades. The present invention garbage disposal unjamming device has a shaft with a first end and a second end opposite one another. The elongated shaft has a handle connected to the first end. At the second end of the shaft is a flat plate having a straight bottom edge and an upper edge, which is hingedly connected to the second end of shaft at a location below the upper edge of the flat plate. The flat plate has a first position wherein the bottom edge forms right angles with the shaft and a second position wherein the bottom edge of the plate forms an acute angle on one side of the shaft and an obtuse angle on the opposite side of the shaft. Thus, when the plate is in its first position the device can fit into an opening of a first, predetermined size and, when the plate is in its second position the device can fit into an opening of a different predetermined size being less than the first predetermined size. The device also includes a biasing mechanism which may be, e.g., a spring or off-centered weight of the flat plate so as to maintain the flat plate in its second position.
