Garbage disposal plunger and liquid container apparatus

A garbage disposal plunger apparatus, comprising:

• an elongated structure having a longitudinal axis extending between two ends;
• a knob portion of said elongated structure disposed at a first of said two ends, wherein said knob portion is sized and shaped in a manner such that its end-most portion is rounded and substantially smooth, then increasing in width to a maximum size that is gripable by a palm and fingers of a human hand, then at a point further along said longitudinal axis decreasing in width to a size that is gripable by fingers of a human hand, wherein said changes in width are manifested by substantially smooth surface contours;
• a shank member of said elongated structure that extends further along said longitudinal axis from said knob portion to a stopper member of said elongated structure, said shank member having a substantially smooth outer contoured surface, said shank member exhibiting a solid, substantially non-flexible outer surface;
• said stopper member being larger in outer dimension than said shank member and sized to prevent its insertion through an opening of a sink garbage disposal unit;
• and a plunger member of said elongated structure that extends further along said longitudinal axis from said stopper member to a second of said two ends of the elongated structure, said plunger member exhibiting a solid, substantially non-flexible outer surface, said plunger member extending a sufficient distance from said stopper member such that said stopper member is located within a middle one-third of said apparatus along said longitudinal axis between said two ends, said plunger member being smaller in outer dimension than said stopper member, and said plunger member being sized for insertion through the opening of said sink garbage disposal unit;
• wherein said shank member exhibits a gradually curved, convex-shaped surface between said stopper member and said knob member.

A combination liquid-holding container and garbage disposal plunger apparatus, comprising:

• a plunger member which exhibits a first outer dimension that is sized to be inserted through an opening of a sink garbage disposal unit, said plunger member extending from a first end of said apparatus to a point between said first end and a second end of said apparatus, said plunger member exhibiting a solid, substantially non-flexible outer surface;
• a stopper member that is sized to prevent its insertion through said opening of a sink garbage disposal unit, said stopper member being of a second outer dimension that is greater than said first outer dimension of said plunger member, said stopper member being positioned adjacent to said plunger member between said first and second ends of the apparatus, said stopper member being located within a middle one-third of said apparatus along a longitudinal axis between said first and second ends;
• a handle member that extends from said stopper member toward said second end of said apparatus, said handle member exhibiting a third outer dimension that is less than said second outer dimension of said stopper member, said handle member exhibiting a solid, substantially non-flexible outer surface;
• and
• a knob member that is located at said second end of said apparatus, and is adjacent to said handle member, said knob member having are removable lid that allows access to an interior chamber of said apparatus;
• wherein said handle member exhibits a gradually curved, convex-shaped surface between said stopper member and said knob member.
