Disposer Mounting System and Method

Abstract:

Mounting systems for waste disposers such as food waste disposers, waste disposers employing such systems, and related methods are disclosed herein. In one example embodiment, a mounting system includes a tubular structure extending between first and second ends, and an enclosure structure having an additional end, where the enclosure structure is configured to be able to support, at least indirectly, the waste disposer. Further, the mounting system includes an elastomeric member extending between the second end and the additional end, where the elastomeric member is coupled to each of, and serves to couple, the tubular structure and the enclosure structure. Additionally, the mounting system includes a plurality of backup linkage members, where each of the plurality of backup linkage members couples at least indirectly, and is integrally formed or molded with at least one of, the tubular structure and the enclosure structure.
