<p>An apparatus for selectively activating a food waste disposer for a sink comprises a housing (360) and an activation member (306). The housing comprises a switch (362) and a first magnet (364). The first magnet is movable relative to the housing and the switch between first and second positions whereby movement of the first magnet from the second position to the first position causes corresponding movement of the switch from an off-position in which electrical current is prevented from reaching a motor of the disposer to an on-position allowing electrical current to the motor. The activation member comprises a second magnet (324) and is received in a tubular member (308) through which waste drains and can be positioned relative to the tubular member to place the second magnet in proximity to the first magnet to generate a repulsive magnetic force that moves the first magnet between the first and second positions.</p> |
