Abstract

1. Sink bowl having lateral walls provided with flanges extending at least along two opposite portions, characterized in that the flanges (2) have a width and are located so as to be capable of supporting a basket or an ustensil and so as to form in the bottom of the bowl a small lower compartment (3) having a drain aperture (5) in its bottom, the distance between said flanges (2) and the bottom of said lower compartment being such that when sewage is being discharged, it never comes into contact with the said basket or ustensil.

Description

La présente invention concerne une cuvette selon le préambule de la revendication destinée à être utilisée dans une cuisine par exemple, soit comme élément individuel séparé du bloc-évier usuel, soit comme élément intégré dans un tel bloc-évier pour l'évacuation des eaux souillées.The present invention relates to a bowl according to the preamble of the claim intended to be used in a kitchen for example, either as an individual element separate from the usual sink unit, or as an element integrated in such a sink unit for the discharge of contaminated water. .

Lorsqu'on a à évacuer des eaux souillées on a constaté deux problèmes :

  • a) les éviers usuels avec leur fond relativement plat se salissent fortement jusque sur leurs parois latérales par les eaux qui s'accumulent temporairement dans la cuvette avant qu'elles ne s'écoulent dans la conduite d'évacuation ;
  • b) le rinçage d'aliments fort sales dans un évier usuel est malaisé en ce sens que l'eau souillée reflue et vient en contact avec les aliments et de ce fait contamine ceux-ci.
When we have to evacuate dirty water we noticed two problems:
  • a) the usual sinks with their relatively flat bottom get heavily soiled on their side walls by the water which temporarily accumulates in the bowl before they flow into the drain;
  • b) rinsing heavily soiled food in a common sink is difficult in the sense that the dirty water flows back and comes into contact with the food and therefore contaminates it.

Pour éviter cet inconvénient, il faut tenir les aliments à la main au-dessus du niveau qu'atteint l'eau souillée. Or, bien des personnes souffrent de devoir mettre leurs mains en contact avec l'eau. Récemment, des appareils lave-légumes ont été mis sur le marché mais leur utilisation n'est guère satisfaisante du fait que, placés dans un évier usuel, l'eau souillée reflue et revient en contact avec les légumes à laver.To avoid this inconvenience, food must be held by hand above the level reached by contaminated water. Many people suffer from having to put their hands in contact with water. Recently, vegetable washing apparatuses have been put on the market but their use is hardly satisfactory because, placed in a usual sink, the dirty water flows back and comes back in contact with the vegetables to be washed.

L'invention vise à résoudre ce problème de reflux des eaux à évacuer en proposant une cuvette de décharge caractérisée en ce que les rebords ont une largeur et sont situés en sorte de servir d'assise pour un panier ou un ustensile et en sorte de former au fond de la cuvette un petit compartiment inférieur dans le fond duquel est ménagé l'orifice de décharge, la distance entre les rebords et le fond de la cuvette étant telle que lors de l'écoulement des eaux souillées, celles-ci ne viennent jamais en contact avec le panier ou l'ustensile.The invention aims to solve this problem of reflux of water to be discharged by providing a discharge bowl characterized in that the edges have a width and are located so as to serve as a seat for a basket or a utensil and so as to form at the bottom of the bowl a small lower compartment in the bottom of which is provided the discharge orifice, the distance between the rims and the bottom of the bowl being such that during the flow of dirty water, it never comes in contact with the basket or utensil.

On connaît (US-A-1 370 088) une cuvette avec un faux fond muni d'un tuyau d'évacuation, ce faux fond étant situé à faible distance du bord supérieur de la cuvette en sorte que celle-ci puisse servir à un double usage : d'une part, cuvette de décharge peu profonde lorsque le faux fond est placé et d'autre part, cuvette de lavage lorsque le faux fond est retiré. Une telle cuvette ne prévoit cependant pas un compartiment inférieur pour recueillir les eaux souillées avant qu'elles ne soient écoulées par le tuyau d'évacuation et une telle cuvette ne résout donc pas le problème du reflux des eaux souillées lors du lavage de légumes.We know (US-A-1 370 088) a bowl with a false bottom provided with a discharge pipe, this false bottom being located a short distance from the upper edge of the bowl so that it can be used for a dual use: on the one hand, shallow discharge bowl when the false bottom is placed and on the other hand, washing bowl when the false bottom is removed. Such a bowl does not, however, provide a lower compartment for collecting the soiled water before it is discharged through the discharge pipe and such a bowl therefore does not solve the problem of the reflux of the soiled water when washing vegetables.

Les dessins ci-annexés montrent en coupe la cuvette selon l'invention dans trois variantes d'exécution illustrées à titre d'exemples nullement limitatifs.The attached drawings show in section the bowl according to the invention in three alternative embodiments illustrated by way of non-limiting examples.

Comme on le voit sur les dessins, la cuvette 10 a une paroi 1 formée avec un rebord 2 qui se prolonge vers le fond de la cuvette en sorte de former un compartiment inférieur 3. La référence 4 désigne une crépine, à orifices larges de préférence, qui garnit l'orifice de décharge 5 communiquant avec la conduite d'évacuation 6. Le rebord 2 peut être continu sur tout le pourtour de la cuvette 10 ou s'étendre sur deux tronçons qui se font face. Ce rebord 2 peut servir d'assise pour la pose d'un panier quelconque ou d'un appareil lave-légumes. Grâce à ce rebord 2 et au compartiment inférieur 3, l'eau de rinçage, souillée par son passage sur les légumes ou l'objet déposé dans un panier posé sur le rebord 2, est reçue dans le compartiment 3 avant d'être évacuée par la conduite 6. L'eau souillée ne vient plus en contact avec les légumes ou l'objet à laver et elle ne souille plus la cuvette 10 au-dessus du rebord.As can be seen in the drawings, the bowl 10 has a wall 1 formed with a rim 2 which extends towards the bottom of the bowl so as to form a lower compartment 3. The reference 4 designates a strainer, preferably with large orifices , which lines the discharge orifice 5 communicating with the discharge pipe 6. The rim 2 can be continuous around the entire periphery of the bowl 10 or extend over two sections which face each other. This rim 2 can serve as a seat for installing any basket or a vegetable washing machine. Thanks to this rim 2 and to the lower compartment 3, the rinsing water, soiled by its passage over the vegetables or the object placed in a basket placed on the rim 2, is received in the compartment 3 before being discharged by line 6. The soiled water no longer comes into contact with the vegetables or the object to be washed and it no longer contaminates the bowl 10 above the rim.

Il va de soi que la cuvette peut être réalisée en une matière quelconque (par exemple, matière plastique, tôle d'aluminium ou autre) et avec une finition quelconque.It goes without saying that the bowl can be made of any material (for example, plastic, aluminum sheet or other) and with any finish.

Le mode d'exécution illustré à la figure 1 montre la cuvette 10 intégrée à un bloc-évier usuel. La figure 2 montre une exécution encastrée dans un meuble. La cuvette 10 est pourvue d'un couvercle égouttoir 11 avec rigole périphérique percée de trous d'évacuation. Ce couvercle, renforcé si nécessaire par des cannelures, est monté sur pivot 12 ; il peut aussi être simplement amovible. Dans le mode d'exécution de la figure 3, l'ensemble de la figure 2 est complété d'un couvercle supplémentaire 13 formant un plan égouttoir incliné. Les couvercles peuvent être réalisés en une matière quelconque (matière plastique, tôle d'aluminium, bois ou autre), avantageusement en harmonie avec les tablettes des meubles environnants.The embodiment illustrated in Figure 1 shows the bowl 10 integrated into a conventional sink unit. Figure 2 shows a version built into a cabinet. The bowl 10 is provided with a drip cover 11 with peripheral channel pierced with drainage holes. This cover, reinforced if necessary by grooves, is mounted on pivot 12; it can also be simply removable. In the embodiment of Figure 3, the assembly of Figure 2 is completed with an additional cover 13 forming an inclined drip tray. The covers can be made of any material (plastic, aluminum sheet, wood or other), advantageously in harmony with the shelves of the surrounding furniture.

Avantageusement, l'orifice de décharge 5 se trouve raccordé à une entrée d'un siphon à deux entrées 7, la seconde entrée 8 étant disposée latéralement pour le raccordement à un tuyau d'écoulement communiquant avec l'orifice d'évacuation d'un évier usuel.Advantageously, the discharge orifice 5 is connected to an inlet of a siphon with two inlets 7, the second inlet 8 being arranged laterally for connection to a drain pipe communicating with the outlet of a usual sink.
