Abstract
A splash guard for an under the sink garbage disposal unit has a baffle which prevents splash back. The baffle has a membrane with a number of radially extending slits. Each slit has a pair of walls extending downwardly from the membrane forming a channel. One wall of each pair of walls has a lateral ledge or laterally displaced axial end forming a bottom to the channel. The other wall of each pair of walls is shorter in height so as to leave a gap between the second wall and the ledge of the first wall, thus forming a lateral opening at the bottom of the channel. Thus the slits form passageways through the membrane without having direct or aligned openings.
