(5) Since the hopper is integrally formed of an elastic body, it is possible to omit operations such as cutting after molding, thereby improving workability, reducing costs and improving economical efficiency. Can be provided.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, (1) the vibration generated during the crushing of kitchen garbage such as garbage is damped by the entire hopper, so that the vibration is hardly transmitted to the sink and the crushing is performed very quietly. Can be performed, and a disposer excellent in vibration isolation and noise reduction can be provided.

(2) Since the inner wall surface of the hopper near the pulverizing portion is worn by the pulverization, only that portion is protected by a protective tube having abrasion resistance so that the damping effect of the hopper is maintained and the life of the disposer is reduced. It is possible to provide a disposer excellent in prolongation.

(3) The vibrating motor is connected to the hopper, but since the hopper is formed of an elastic material, the vibration is sufficiently buffered by the hopper, and as a result, the vibration is hardly transmitted to the sink flange.

(2) Since the inner wall surface of the hopper near the pulverizing portion is worn by the pulverization, only that part is protected by a protective tube having abrasion resistance to maintain the damping effect of the hopper and reduce the life of the disposer. It is possible to provide a disposer excellent in prolongation.

(3) The vibrating motor is connected to the hopper, but since the hopper is formed of an elastic material, the vibration is sufficiently buffered by the hopper, and as a result, the vibration is hardly transmitted to the sink flange. In addition, it is possible to provide a disposer which hardly vibrates the sink and which is excellent in vibration proof and silent without generating noise.

(4) Since the hopper is integrally formed of an elastic body, a work such as cutting after molding can be omitted, so that the disposer is excellent in workability, cost can be reduced, and economy is excellent. Can be provided.

According to the invention set forth in claim 4, according to claim 1
(1) Since the hopper is formed in a bellows shape, the vibration generated in the pulverizing part is sufficiently buffered in the hopper part, and the vibration is hardly transmitted to the sink flange. As a result, it is possible to provide a disposer that is excellent in anti-vibration property and silent performance, with almost no vibration of the sink and no generation of noise.

(2) The vibrating motor is connected to the hopper. However, since the hopper is made of an elastic material and formed in a bellows shape, the vibration is sufficiently buffered by the hopper, and the vibration is applied to the sink flange. Vibration is hardly transmitted, and as a result, it is possible to provide a disposer that is excellent in vibration-proofing and quietness with almost no vibration of the sink and no generation of noise.

According to the invention set forth in claim 5, claim 1 is provided.
In addition to the effects of any one of (1) to (3), (1) Since the hopper is formed in a step shape, the vibration generated in the pulverizing part is sufficiently buffered in the hopper part, and the vibration is hardly transmitted to the sink flange. As a result, it is possible to provide a disposer that is excellent in anti-vibration property and silent performance, with almost no vibration of the sink and no generation of noise.

(2) The vibrating motor is connected to the hopper. However, since the hopper is made of an elastic material and is formed in a step shape, the vibration is sufficiently buffered by the hopper, and the vibration is applied to the sink flange. Vibration is hardly transmitted, and as a result, it is possible to provide a disposer that is excellent in vibration-proofing and quietness with almost no vibration of the sink and no generation of noise.

As described above, according to the present invention, the vibration generated during the crushing of kitchen garbage such as garbage is damped by the entire hopper, so that the vibration is hardly transmitted to the sink.
It is possible to provide a disposer that is excellent in noise reduction and excellent in a damping effect of a hopper.
