Abstract
A wrench adaptable for freeing the jammed rotor of a sink garbage disposal unit. The wrench is in the form of a shaped solid bar formed with a straight shaft section the handle end of which is bent at an acute angle to the axis of the shaft section, with the opposed tool end of the bar bent in the plane of the handle section to lie perpendicular to the axis of the shaft section. The tool end of the bar is formed as a rectangular shaped section of a size to fit about upraised detents or cutting blades on the rotor of the garbage disposal unit so as to rock and free the rotor, when jammed, and the tool is of a size to fit into the drain outlet of the sink to which the disposal unit is attached and to extend beyond the drain, when installed.
Claims1
A tool for use in freeing the rotor of a garbage disposal unit installed in the drain of an attached sink comprising
- a shaft member joined at a first end to a handle section and at a second end to a jaw section,
- said jaw section of a size to fit within a drain pipe and to fit against upraised detents on the rotor of a garbage disposal unit installed in said drain pipe,
- said jaw section oriented to extend in a straight line and in a radial perpendicular direction to the axis of the shaft section, and at a perpendicular angle to the shaft axis,
- said handle section bent to extend in a radial direction and at an acute angle to the shaft section so as to extend from the shaft section towards the jaw section,
- said shaft section of a length to extend from the surface of the rotor to beyond the drain opening of the drain pipe, in which
- the jaw section is joined to the shaft section by a length of bar which extends away from the axis of the shaft section so that the attached jaw section intersects the axis of the shaft section.
