Abstract
A support assembly useful in aligning and mounting a garbage disposal to the drain fitting of a sink includes a base provided with a vertical tube segment supporting a nut assembly threadably engaged to a rod partly received in the segment with the upper rod end supporting an adapter conformed to the disposal. An offset bar fixed to the rod exterior engages a lateral recess on the segment to fix the rod in rotation as the nut assembly is turned. The assembly may include rods of differing lengths and adapters of various forms.

An assembly useful in raising a food debris macerator into mounting alignment subjacent a sink drain, comprising:
- a base structure characterized by a base plate supporting a generally vertical tubular segment provided with a radially aligned recess on the exterior periphery thereof adjacent an upper opening in said segment;
- a threaded rod defined by an upper and a lower end threadably engaged to extend said lower end through a nut assembly for receipt into the upper opening of said segment and to threadably extend said upper end through a sleeve provided with an offset bar extending over said nut assembly into said recess;
- and
- an adapter attachable to said upper end of said rod and conformed to support said macerator.
An assembly useful in raising a food debris macerator into mounting alignment subjacent a sink drain, comprising:
- a base structure characterized by a base plate supporting a generally vertical tubular segment provided with a radially aligned recess on the exterior periphery thereof adjacent an upper opening in said segment;
- a threaded rod selected from a group of rods of various lengths each defined by an upper and a lower end threadably engaged to extend said lower end through a nut assembly for receipt into the upper opening of said segment and to threadably extend said upper end through a sleeve provided with an offset bar extending over said nut assembly into said recess;
- and
- an adapter selected from a group of adapters each conformed for supporting a particularly configured macerator and each attachable to said upper end of said rod and conformed to support said macerator.
A mounting tool useful in raising and aligning a food debris macerator for mating with an attachment structure fixed to the drain of a sink, comprising:
- mounting means provided with a generally vertical bore having an opening in the upper end thereof and a radial recess adjacent said upper opening;
- a threaded rod defined by an upper and a lower end threadably engaged to extend said lower end through a nut assembly for receipt in said upper opening and to threadably extend said upper end through a sleeve provided with an offset bar extending over said nut assembly into said recess;
- and
- an adapter attachable to said upper end of said rod and conformed to support said macerator.
