• REPLACEMENT SHEET valve 2 FIG 7, it is embedded in the worktop, it comes in an extra flat piece with a very wide and thin outlet port to obtain a curtain water outlet having the advantage for a flow of equal water, from the classic outlet of a tap not to cause splashes when the tank contains dishes, vegetables etc ... this outlet of water can diffuse different waters, cold, hot, or l seawater in the marine environment, the mixer control will be placed on a frontal strip under the worktop 11, this tap is characterized by a double passage, water 3, detergent liquid 4, this arrangement allows a distribution of detergent liquid directly in the wash tub or on your hands.
• the detergent liquid supply comes from a FIG assembly 8 consisting of a storage tank 6, its filling is done by a pipe whose filling orifice 7 is located on a raised part of the work surface, the detergent is directed to the fittings by a pipe 8 supplied by an electric pump 9, actuated by foot contact 10, leaving your hands free, the rounded shape 5, of the tank FIG 1 is calculated to obtain sufficient space under the fittings to allow filling a utensil or washing, the water supply system can be completed by a movable spray 27, whether or not fitted with a brush either for washing directly in the tank, or for rinsing if all is fitted with other trays for this purpose FIG 18, this hand shower will find its place integrated on the same upper part of the worktop as the orifice for filling the detergent.
• the fitting can be made of classic bronze materials Etc .... 2 FIG 7 if it is embedded in the worktop, provision is made in the case of industrialization of worktops made from base materials of molded resins to include all of the different water supply pipes, detergent, in the thickness of the worktop, there will be enough space to separate the water outlet, with that of the detergent to avoid a risk of mixing unwanted, only will appear from the edge of the worktop
• a 13 FIG 9 tray made of melamine, a food-grade product, intended for use in the worktop for all household tasks and for draining dishes, its food quality makes it suitable for receiving or letting food of various kinds stay natures, this tray is equipped with a groove 14, intended to let the dripping water pass, to let food or waste slide or to facilitate the washing of the tray.
• a FIG 15 cutout 9 is provided in one face, its design finds its usefulness when the tray is used provided with the board 16 FIG 10, for decou ⁇ page work, it allows access to the board without the knives are hindered by the edges of the tray of a certain height useful for other uses.
• This tray finds its place on the horizontal work plan in any position, whatever the choice of the trays which equip the work plan exp: 13 FIG 11-12, the tray is placed exactly on the opening in the plan working of the FIG 3 tray, regardless of the presence in this tray, of dishes or other things, which increases the useful surface, in the case of the FIG 13 kitchenet option, choice of the FIG 1 and 2 trays, or with the FIG 18 variant of the food shredder or garbage chute 26, the tray is placed on the right or on the left, therefore the possibility of carrying out culinary work producing waste in the tray with the possibility of removing it immediately, in this option FIG 18 the opening of the garbage chute is formed at the bottom of the bin with a trap door with seal 27, with this option this double-purpose bin, open hatch, waste disposal, closed hatch, drip tray for utensil of various kitchen, or provided with a pan ier 28 for draining food, the bottom of the tank is fitted with a drain 29, allowing the drainage and rinsing water to exit
