Definitions
- the present invention relates to a sink.
- the sink is applied, in general, in kitchens; however, it can also be applied in other areas, for example bathrooms.
- the sink is fitted by inserting the basin into the adapted opening of the worktop, with the perimetric rim folded outward and resting on the surface, around the perimeter of the opening.
- Kitchen counters are also known with laminate worktops which have an opening for the sink which is lined with the same covering applied to the worktop.
- the sink is mounted under the opening, and is therefore concealed at first sight.
- the sink is typically applied directly to the laminate of the worktop, with a gasket perimetric to the basin and made of acrylic material or the like, sometimes also with edging in steel, and very thick, such as to shape the upper surface of the worktop and altering its flatness.
- Such sink in addition to being complex in construction, implies a use of material and labor that significantly influence the overall cost of the product.
- the aim of the present invention is to provide a sink that is capable of improving the known art in one or more of the above mentioned aspects.
- an object of the invention is to simplify the sink in its anchoring to the worktop and to improve its final appearance.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a sink that can be produced at lower cost than conventional sinks.
- Another object of the present invention is to overcome the drawbacks of the known art in a different manner to any existing solutions.
- a still further object of the invention is to provide a sink that is highly reliable, easy to implement and low cost.
- the sink according to the invention is intended preferably for kitchens and comprises a worktop 11, which has at least one opening for the accommodation of a basin 12 and an upper border 13 which is perimetric to the opening.
- the basin 12 is mounted with its rim below the border 13, as can clearly be seen in the accompanying figures.
- the border 13 can be flared, defining an upward widening of the opening, as in the examples shown.
- the border 13 protrudes toward the opening with respect to the rest of the worktop 11 creating an interspace, below the border 13, between the outer walls 14 of the basin 12 and the side 15 of the worktop 11 which is directed toward the opening.
- Such interspace is at least partially filled with a sealing element 16.
- the interspace has a thicker region defined by a groove 17 which is provided on the side 15 of the worktop 11, at the connection between the border 13 and the upper rim of the basin 12.
- Such groove 17 is specifically made in the connection region, to ensure the sealing between the sink and the worktop 11.
- the volume that it defines between the side 15 of the worktop 11, the border 13, and the outer wall 14 of the basin 12 must be completely occupied by the sealing element 16 in order to prevent infiltrations of water.
- the sealing element 16 is preferably constituted by a deposit of polyurethane adhesive and, preferably, fills the volume defined by the entire interspace.
- the worktop 11 preferably consists of a layered composite provided with a supporting core 18 and an upper covering layer 19 which protrudes with respect to the core 18 toward the opening so as to define the border 13.
- the worktop 11 is preferably made of HPL (acronym for High Pressure Laminate) and/or stratified HPL, or of MDF (acronym for Medium-Density Fiberboard), or of chipboard enclosed between two layers of HPL.
- HPL acronym for High Pressure Laminate
- MDF acronym for Medium-Density Fiberboard
- the worktop 11 also comprises a lower layer 20, which with the upper layer 19 encloses the core 18 sandwich-fashion.
- the lower layer may not be present.
- the sink 10 conveniently also comprises means of mechanically fixing 21 the basin 12 to the worktop 11.
- Such means of mechanically fixing 21 comprise, according to the first variation in Figure 1 , at least one upside-down L-shaped bracket 22 which is fixed with one side to the outer wall 14 of the basin 12 by way of an adhesive and with the other side underneath the worktop 11 by way of a complementary bracket 23 which is fixed thereto by way of at least one fixing screw 24.
- brackets 22 Preferably, for a sink 10 with a square or rectangular basin, there are four brackets 22, each one extending along one side of the basin 12.
- the means of mechanically fixing 21 comprise upside-down L-shaped brackets 22, each one fixed with one side to the outer wall 14 of the basin 12 by way of adhesive and with the other side underneath the worktop 11 by way of at least one fixing screw 24.
- the sink described although ensuring an adequate level of sealing, does not use elements that could create an encumbrance below the covering layer of the worktop 11, thus resulting in relief on the upper surface.
- the sink 10 according to the invention can be made at low cost with respect to conventional sinks and in terms of construction it is simple to provide, while also making it possible to contain labor times and costs.
- the invention fully achieves the intended aim and objects with a sink by virtue of which it is simple and easy to anchor the basin to the worktop, as well as being economic, and aesthetically more pleasing than what can be obtained with conventional sinks.
