kitchen sink

The invention relates to sinks, in particular made of deep-drawn sheet steel, with at least one basin and one adjacent provided plate, such as a draining plate, countertop or the like.

In known sinks, the plate usually forms a one-piece component with the basin, so that an adaptation to the respective Requirements not possible and the plate only in one Able to use. This results in a relatively large space requirement even when the plate is not in use.

The invention is based on the object of a sink of the initially to create described type, achieved by the one hand when not in use a gain in space and on the other hand if necessary the pool can be closed.

This is achieved in a sink of the initially described type according to the invention characterized in that the plate is formed als.gegenüber the basin movable cover plate for the pelvis _s so that they from their adjacent to the pelvis starting position into a basin at the top of substantially closing position is transferable. The plate is mounted so that it can be moved relative to the basin in at least two different positions,

at least one or more of which are provided horizontally are, while it is preferably in at least one position like a lid on the top of the basin, wherein this position can be formed by one of the aforementioned horizontal positions or another position. Is the plate provided in a position as a cover closure for the basin, so can in this, for example by means of a spray button can be rinsed or washed like a dishwasher, since splashing out of the basin is avoided. Also is it is possible to find dirty dishes or the like in the basin, for example soaked or pre-rinsed should be locked to the outside invisible and hygienic. Odors that come from the drain opening can also pass through the Ceiling plate kept away from the installation room of the pool. In the position that closes the pelvis, the plate can also still as a countertop, drip tray or the like. can be used, resulting in a further increased use of space.

A particularly simple and safe, movable mounting of the Cover plate is obtained when it is pivotably mounted, preferably in the edge region of the basin, so that it is relatively complicated, possibly annoying sliding guide for the displaceable mounting of the cover plate, which is also used for certain Purposes can be advantageous, can be dispensed with.

Can be used in a particularly advantageous embodiment, the cover plate around an, in particular vertical height axis is pivotable they södaß for example the 90 °, 120 °, 270 ° or even continuously pivoted over 360 ⁰ .gedreht and used in any position. Instead of such a pivotable mounting, a stepwise pivotability is also conceivable, so that the plate

~ ³ ~ 509821/0089

can assume only two or more preferred pivot positions, for example in the specified angular degrees. The change in position according to the invention results in the physiologically favorable possibility of working, for example with regard to the user's stylus field, to the respective workflow to adapt, that is, the user also has the free choice to adjust the plate as desired. If the cover plate is approximately rectangular, the pivot axis, especially in the case of a vertical arrangement, is expediently in the Area of a corner of the cover plate and / or the basin, so that the cover plate with two edges lying at an angle to each other optionally on two edges of the at an angle to each other Basin and can be pivoted between these two preferred positions in intermediate positions; in one of these Intermediate positions are, for example, through the pivot axis going diagonal plane of the plate in the corresponding diagonal plane of the basin, so that the plate from all four sides is freely accessible.

Instead of the described design or in addition, it is also possible that the cover plate around a horizontal, preferably is pivotably mounted to a side pool edge parallel folding axis, so that, for example, in a pivoting 180 ° both sides of the plate can be used. Furthermore, the plate can in this case in at least one Intermediate position between its two approximately horizontal positions serve as a shield, for example as a splash guard.

In a further embodiment of the invention, the cover plate is preferably in the pivot bearing, with a connector or the like. easily detachable so that they are also completely removed from the basin and attached can be used or stored elsewhere.

In the case of a detachable design, it is also conceivable that the cover plate in one position, for example adjacent to the basin, is only hooked into brackets while it is sitting in a different position on the top of the basin and this locks.

Furthermore, the detachable design makes it possible to provide different plates for different purposes, for example can be exchanged and, for example, as a dish rack, tray, worktop, laboratory plate or the like. educated or have recesses into which accessories can be inserted.

The versatility of the panel is further increased when the panel is selectively used on both sides implemented convertible, and preferably different on both sides is designed so that the sink for the respective purpose can be easily converted.

If the plate is to be used as a drip plate, it points according to Another feature of the invention is a drainage opening, which at A preferred embodiment lies in the pivot axis, so that it is diesselhe in every position of the plate with respect to the basin Assumes position and no flexible lines are required to connect the drainage opening to the basin and / or its drainage line are. The drainage opening is expediently located directly above the basin and slightly to the outside in relation to it offset, for example to save space in a corner of the pool or from its edge. The water can enter directly from the plate Basin or through a separate drainage line into its drainage line.

This results in a cheaper, essentially complete transition results between the basin and the plate, overlaps the plate in at least one, in particular several positions at least the edge of the pool, or all of it, this in Top view surrounding frame.

The cover plate can be in any position, or the .jeweils specified Position, are held in a simple manner with a locking device, through which they can be felt in the respective position, locks in such a way that it is secured against unintentional displacement, when overcoming the locking force, but in any the other positions can be moved.

If the cover plate has roughly the same outline as the basin, a good upper closure of the basin is possible on the one hand and on the other hand, the plate can be in at least one, in particular in at least two positions adjacent to the basin, a plate-like extension at the respective edge of the basin form that has approximately the same circles as the basin on the associated edge. .

Although it is conceivable, the plate with respect to a carrier of the basin fixed and to arrange the basin in the manner described opposite the plate, it is to achieve a simple Construction is useful in most cases if only the cover plate can be moved.

If the basin is movable j, in particular it can be displaced approximately horizontally stored and if it has a flexible drain, this also results in essentials, especially in the case of a sink of the type described Advantages and a solution of the underlying of the invention Task.

The basin can namely over an upright wall, for example the front wall of a body supporting the basin can be pulled outwards so that the basin is exposed on the underside and there is a free space below the basin,. which enables a person to sit at the pelvis, It is cheaper to work as well as standing and to have enough space for feet and knees below the pelvis. The basin can for example move from this working position into a non-use position below the stationary or movable one Cover plate can be pushed so that it is also closed.

Around the room or area from which the basin is pushed away is to be able to close and, if necessary, also be used as a work surface or storage area, is at least a slidable plate is connected to an edge of the basin that is transverse to the direction of displacement and thus runs parallel to the basin or if the connection is detachable, it is moved over the basin to close it. This plate is preferably like a shutter formed from hinged rods or plate parts or from a suitable film, so that they are in the area its end facing away from the basin is guided up or down via a deflection and thus saves space when not in use can be accommodated. Such a plate can also be connected to the cover plate described, in particular when the cover plate is mounted in a displaceable manner.

The plate according to the invention can be made of chrome steel or chrome-nickel steel sheet, made of plastic, solid wood or plastic-coated wood or fiberboard or the like, and can also be two- or three-part, in particular in sandwich form, two-

~ ⁷ ~ 509821/0089

for example through a support structure in the middle layer and in each case an upper part and a lower part forming the wear layer can be formed from a suitable material. The basin can be made of plastic or sheet steel. With an appropriate movable mounting, the inventive Plate also flush with one, for example, adjacent to the basin, possibly at a different working height in particular complete immovable worktop, for example in such a way that the plate according to the invention in a corresponding Position forms a seamless connection between the basin and this worktop. For example at pivotable mounting of the plate about a vertical axis, the plate can also be mounted in a height-adjustable and lockable manner and can thus be adapted even better to the user.

The design according to the invention is suitable for household kitchens, especially for small households or small kitchens, for so-called central kitchens in which the individual kitchen appliances are arranged in the center of a room (kitchen block) ₉ but also for large kitchens, laboratories, caravans. Boats and the like.

The invention is described in more detail below explained in more detail arihand the embodiments shown in the drawings.

including the edge 5 has. The cover plate 6 is with two coaxially interlocking tubes 8, 9 pivotably mounted, of which the lower one has the larger diameter and on the sink 1, for example on the basin 2 or on its edge frame is attached, while the upper or inner tube 9 is attached to the cover plate 6, which with this tube 9 according to is mounted on the basin 2 so that it can be lifted out or adjusted in height, that is to say via a plug connection parallel to the pivot axis 7 is detachably connected to the basin 2. The pivot axis is located in a corner of the cover plate.6, so that this can be swiveled congruently over the basin and thereby closes this essentially watertight at the top. In the plane of the upper side of the cover plate, the tube 9 forms a drainage opening Io, which via the tubes 8, 9 is directly connected with it the basin 2 or the underlying drainage line is connected, so that any water reaching the cover plate 6 can flow through the drainage opening 10 into the basin 2. The drain opening can, however, in particular with respect to the pivot axis be offset to the outer corner of the plate. The top of the cover plate 6 expediently has a drainage point in every position of the water, a sufficiently small gradient in the direction of the drain opening 10.

Like Flg. 1 shows, the cover plate 6 can be in at least three or a plurality of further working positions in addition to the basin 2 are brought, in which it is located essentially outside the top of the basin 2, so this releases .. One position is shown in Fig »1 with solid lines, while two other positions are shown in phantom. A latching device is expediently between the tubes 8, 9 in the form, for example, of a locking cam of the other tube that engages in locking recesses of one tube, so-

that the cover plate 6 is securely held in the respective position. In the two working positions shown in dash-dotted lines According to flg. 1, the outer edges of the cover plate 6 are approximately parallel to the outer edges of the basin 2, while in the. third position is the diagonal going through the pivot axis 7 the cover plate 6 lies approximately parallel to the front or rear outer edge of the basin 2. With one of the two dash-dotted lines The positions shown are in contrast to that through the pivot axis 7 going diagonal of the cover plate 6 in the corresponding diagonal of the basin 2. In the other shown in dash-dotted lines Working position over / you cover plate 6 with an edge 'the edge of the basin 2 opposite the drain 4 slightly, so that the cover plate 6 thus practically forms a lateral continuation of the basin.

, 11 A faucet is also provided on the sink 1, which is arranged in the illustrated embodiment on the secondary basin 3 and can be pivoted over the main basin 2. This However, the water tap can also be used when the cover plate 6 is in the closed position over the basin 2. water reaching the cover plate 6 can also flow off in this case. The cover plate 6 can therefore also be in the closed position can be used without restriction for any kitchen work.

The reference numerals used in FIGS. 3 to 6 are for corresponding ones Parts are the same as in Fig. 1 and 2, but in Fig. 3 with the addition "a", in Fig. 4 with the addition "b" etc.

According to FIG. 3, the cover plate 6a or its pivot axis is located on the same side as the drain 4a of the basin 2a, which is particularly advantageous for the arrangement of the plate on the right side of the basin suitable.

According to pig. l \ is mounted the top plate 6b in the rear portion of the pelvis 2b, wherein the pivot axis about the rear in an example of the left, is the corner of the basin. The pivot bearing is provided on an offset in the cover plate 6b so that it only slightly or not overlaps the edge of the basin when it is in the open position.

The lid plate 6c according to FIG. 5 is around a horizontal, Folding axis 7c, located approximately at the level of the top of the basin 2c, is mounted pivotably, the pivot axis 7c being directly located adjacent to the edge of the basin 2c and parallel to a lateral outer edge of the basin. In particular in this embodiment, if a secondary basin 3 according to Fig. 1 is provided, the cover plate also for its closure are provided. In a horizontal position, one side of the cover plate 6c serves as a work surface, while in the other horizontal position the other side as a work surface serves. The cover plate 6c can, similarly to the eccentrically mounted cover plate 6 according to FIGS. 1 and 2 be held releasably or exchangeably 'in the bearing 8a, so that they for example, can be used as a tray, with which dishes are first transported to the sink, on which then the washed dishes can be put down, and with which these dishes can be put down washed, -and with which this washed dishes then in turn in the manner of a Container can be brought to the storage location. In the embodiment according to FIG. 5, the cover plate 6c does not need any special drainage opening, since when the cover plate 6c is open with respect to the basin 2c, water may flow away from it directly above the one facing the basin 2c on the pivot axis 7c lying edge into the basin 2a, can flow off.
