"Sink with rear splashback"

The innovation concerns a sink with a rear splashback for wall mounting.

There are sinks of the aforementioned type, especially made of enamelled sheet steel, which are usually assigned an inlet fitting located well above the bottom of the basin, so that even taller containers such as buckets and the like can be placed in the basin to be filled. The basin is usually relatively deep and has a large capacity so that the taller containers such as buckets and the _like can also be emptied quickly.

Such basins are very often installed in addition to washstands or sinks in larger washrooms as well as in larger kitchens and cleaning rooms in order to collect the water required for cleaning purposes and to be able to pour it out quickly again after it has become dirty.

The innovation is based on the task of developing a sink of the type described in such a way that the generally free space below the sink can be used as a storage and drainage space while allowing free access.

It is known to set up small cupboards for cleaning utensils and the like underneath the sinks mentioned above, adapted to the dimensions of the sinks.

1Ö However, these have significant disadvantages because they require a relatively high level of effort both in terms of production and in terms of their installation, adjustment and fastening, and in addition, their installation makes it more difficult to clear the ground and also hinders the external cleaning of the pool from all sides, taking into account that dirty water is often emptied into the pool and wetting of the pool's external wall surfaces by dirty water cannot always be avoided.

The invention avoids the aforementioned disadvantages in that the sink is equipped with a hanging shelf which has a U-shape that is open at the top, is held to the edge of the sink with its vertical side cheeks and has at least one storage shelf that runs parallel to the bottom of the sink.

The hanging arrangement of the shelf means that it can be held on the basin above the floor, with no special fastening measures being necessary. Both the outside of the basin and the containers and utensils stored on the shelf are freely accessible from the outside. The containers and utensils can be stored very clearly on the shelf and can also be removed from the side of the shelf.

In addition, damp cloths or wet walls of containers containing cleaning agents or the _like can dry due to the free access of air when they are stored on the shelf.

It is particularly useful if at least the sides of the hanging shelf consist of longitudinal and transverse bars connected to one another and have molded hooks on the upper ends that extend over the edge of the basin by at least 10 mm per side. The longitudinal and transverse bars mentioned can advantageously be designed as round bars that are covered with plastic. The sides can be designed in a ladder-like manner, as is known from wall shelves.

The storage shelf(s) can be designed as continuous shelves or as console-like projections protruding from the sides under the basin.

It is useful if the shelves are at least partially or entirely designed as grates. This has the advantage that the shelves are light in weight but dimensionally stable and can be easily cleaned. Damp cloths or similar can also be hung on the shelves' bars to dry. The cross bars provided in the sides can also serve the same purpose.

The depth of the hanging shelf can be adjusted to the projection of the pool from the wall to the front edge of the pool in order to obtain a large storage space or large storage areas.

It is particularly useful if the sides of the hanging shelf each consist of an «upper, ironed rod»

1 shaped section that can be hung on the edge of the pool and a lower section that rises from a shelf and is also made of bars in a ladder-like manner, and when the sections of each cheek interlock over hook-shaped sections of the bars facing each other to form a detachable connection. The above-mentioned division of the hanging shelf or the cheeks allows the pool to be put together

D5 uST distance of the sections of the sides protruding from the storage floor corresponds to the width of the basin, the basin and the lower part of the hanging shelf with the storage floor can be nested and the upper sections of the sides can be packed and stored in the basin recess. This also ensures

This prevents the hanging shelf from becoming deformed during transport. In particular, it is recommended that the sections of the hanging shelf's sides that protrude from the storage floor be designed so that they are no more than the same height as the basin and the molded splashback.

The drawing shows an embodiment of the invention in perspective view.

The sink, designated as a whole with 1, has a relatively deep basin recess la as well as a rear splash wall Ib, which serves to attach the sink 1 to the wall and is fixed with the help of fastening screws 2 via dowels to a

to avoid damage when handling containers that need to be filled, such as buckets, etc.

The sink shown is equipped with a hanging shelf, designated 3 in total, which has a U-shape that is open at the top, with a lower shelf 4 connecting the side cheeks 5. Additional shelves 6 and 7 that protrude like brackets are also held on the cheeks 5.

In the example shown, the shelves 4, 6 and 7 are designed as grates.

In the example, the sides 5 of the hanging shelf 3 are formed in a ladder shape from longitudinal and transverse bars 8 and 9, where the upper ends of the rear longitudinal bars 8 are formed into hooks 10 with which the hanging shelf 3 is held to the edge of the pool 1c. These hooks are sufficient, because the lower part of the hanging shelf 3 can be supported on the wall to prevent tipping. It can also be attached to the wall in the lower area if necessary.

In the example shown, the side cheeks 5 consist of an upper, bow-shaped section, which extends to below the bases 6 and 7, respectively. The lower sections of the cheeks 5, on the other hand, are designed as protruding sections from the base 4. At the ends of the sections facing each other, these are detachably connected to one another via hook-shaped sections at the point marked 11 in the clv. figure, so that when the hanging shelf is removed from the basin 1, the upper sections of the cheeks 5 are separated from the lower sections.

can be separated or connected to these sections simply by pivoting the upper sections.

The lower section of the hanging shelf 3, which has the base 4, has sections of the cheeks 5 that protrude from this base and only correspond to the height of the basin 1 including the molded-on splash wall 1b. This allows the basin and the lower section of the hanging shelf to be nested inside one another, while the upper sections of the cheeks 5 can be packed individually in the basin recess for shipping purposes.

In the example shown, the bars of the hanging shelf, including the grate bars, are made of plastic-coated metal bars.
