  • the projections 188 on the bottom 186 and the projections 184 on the top 182 are offset from each other so that when the receiving element 140 is placed on the identically formed spacer element 142, each of the projections 188 on the bottom 186 of Receiving element 140 with one of its inclined against the vertical side surfaces 190 on one of the inclined side surfaces 192 of an adjacently arranged projection 184 on the upper side 182 of the spacer element 142 is flat.
  • the projections 184, 188 extend partly transversely to the longitudinal direction 144 and partly transversely to the transverse direction 148 of the receiving element 140, the projections 188 on the underside 186 of the receiving element 140 and the projections 184 on the upper side 182 of the spacer element 142 thus interact with one another in that the receiving element 140 and the spacer element 142 are secured against relative movement both in the longitudinal direction 144 of the receiving element 140 and the spacer element 142 and in the transverse direction 148 of the receiving element 148 and the spacer element 142 and only by a relative movement in the vertical direction from one another can be solved.
  • the receiving elements 140 and the spacer elements 142 of the rinse pack 100 are preferably formed as one-piece moldings of a foamed plastic material, in particular of an expanded polystyrene material.
  • the sink package 100 further includes the pool cover 122, which rests on top of the sink 120 and covers both the main pool 128 and the auxiliary pool 130 of the sink 120. In this way, a wandering or slipping out of accommodated in the main basin 128 or in the additional basin 130 accessories is prevented.
  • the pool cover 122 comprises a substantially rectangular horizontal cover plate 194 and a likewise substantially rectangular vertical support plate 196, which is formed integrally with the horizontal cover plate 194 and along a crease line 198 connects to a Abtrotflansch circuit edge of the horizontal cover plate 194.
  • the pool cover 122 is formed of, for example, a cardboard board or a corrugated board.
  • the horizontal cover plate 194 is provided at its lateral edges, each with a substantially rectangular recess 200 which is complementary to each one centrally of the sink 120 facing inside of the central portion 146 of a receiving element 146 arranged stop block 202 is formed.
  • Each of these stop blocks 202 engages the respective associated recess 200 of the horizontal cover plate 194 and thus secures the pelvic cover 122 against movement relative to the respective receiving element 140 in its longitudinal direction 144 and against movement relative to the two receiving elements 140 in their common transverse direction 148 ,
  • a vertical receiving groove 204 is provided in each of the receiving elements 140 on the inside of the central portion 146, in each of which a lateral edge of the vertical holding plate 196 engages.
  • the vertical support plate 196 and the receiving grooves 204 of the receiving elements 140 act together so that the pelvic cover 122 is secured against movement relative to the receiving elements 140 in the longitudinal direction 144 and in the transverse direction 148 thereof.
  • the vertical support plate 196 and the ceiling wall of the overwrap 102 formed by the flapper pockets 112 cooperate so that the displacement path of the basin cover 122 is limited in the vertical direction.
  • the vertical receiving groove 204 preferably extends into one of the projections 184 on the upper side 182 of the receiving element 140, since this increases the vertical extent of the receiving groove 204 and thus the contact surface with the holding plate 196.
  • the receiving elements 140 are mirror-symmetrical to their transverse center plane 206, which runs centrally through the stop block 202, the receiving groove 204 for the vertical holding plate 196 of the pelvic cover 122 is present twice on each receiving element 140.
  • the horizontal cover plate 194 of the pelvic cover 122 is further provided at its the vertical support plate 196 remote rear free edge with a projection 209 which engages in the space between the end portions 150 of the two receiving elements 140.
  • the cutting board box 124 is arranged, which is designed as a substantially cuboid folding box made of cardboard material.
  • the width of the cutting board box 124 corresponds to the distance between the inner sides of the central portions 146 of the receiving elements 140, so that the cutting board box 124 is secured by the receiving elements 140 against slipping in the transverse direction 148.
  • the cutting board box 124 With its vertical support plate 196 facing front 210, the cutting board box 124 abuts against the stop blocks 202 of the receiving elements 140, so that the displacement of the cutting board box 124 is limited in the direction of the vertical support plate 196 by the stop blocks 202.
  • the cutting board box 124 extends to a point 212 (see Fig. 9 ), at which the corner portion of the receiving elements 140 begins and the mutual clear distance of the two opposing receiving elements 140 begins to decrease, so that the displacement of the cutting board box 124 is also limited in the vertical holding plate 196 facing away.
  • the cutting board box 124 is thus received substantially free of play between the stop blocks 202 and the corner regions of the receiving elements 140.
  • the sink package 100 further includes the in the Fig. 23 and 24 separately shown angular intermediate member 118, which includes a longer horizontal leg 214 and a shorter vertical leg 216.
  • the intermediate element 118 is formed integrally and preferably as a shaped body made of a foamable plastic material, in particular of an expanded polystyrene material.
  • the material of the additional element 118 substantially coincides with the material of the receiving elements 140 and the spacer elements 142 of the sink package 100.
  • the intermediate member 118 is provided on the underside of the horizontal leg 214 and the sink 120 facing away from the front side of the vertical leg 216 with a plurality of recesses 218 and with an opening 219, which cause a weight saving and an improvement in the shock absorption properties of the intermediate element 118th have as a consequence.
  • the vertical leg 216 of the intermediate member 118 is provided at its lateral edges with a respective vertically extending projection 220.
  • Each of the receiving elements 140 and thus also each of the spacer elements 142 is provided with a vertical receiving groove 222 corresponding to this projection, which is provided on the inner side of the middle section 146 of the respective receiving element 140 or spacer element 142 facing the sink 120 ( Fig. 19 ).
  • the vertical projections 220 of the vertical leg 216 of the intermediate member 118 engage in these vertical grooves 222 of the spacer elements 142, so that by the interaction of the vertical projections 220 and the receiving grooves 222, the intermediate member 118 against movement relative to the Spacer elements 142 is secured in the longitudinal direction 144.
  • the horizontal leg 214 of the intermediate member 118 is provided on its longitudinal sides and on its side facing away from the vertical leg 216 with a plurality of horizontal projections 224 which engage in the assembled state of the sink package 100 formed between the receiving element 140 and the spacer element 142 of a support body 116 spaces and thus cooperate with the projections 184 on the upper side 182 of the spacer elements 124 and with the projections 188 on the underside 186 of the receiving elements 140 such that the intermediate element 118 prevents movement relative to the two supporting bodies 116 in the longitudinal direction 144, in the transverse direction 148 and secured in the vertical.
  • the intermediate member 118 separates the portion of the sink package 100 in which the sink 120 is housed from another portion of the sink package 100 in which the substantially cuboid mixer box 126 is housed.
  • the intermediate member 118 fixed relative to the support bodies 116 of the sink package 100 thus prevents the mixer box 126, contained in the relatively heavy accessories, namely the mixer tap of the sink 120, together with tubing and installation material, in the sink package 100 can slip so that it comes into contact with the sink 120 and the same damaged.
  • the packaging of the sink 120 by means of the rinse packaging 100 described above can be carried out according to the procedure described below:
  • the spacer elements 142 are connected to each other by means of the intermediate member 118 by the vertical projections 220 of the vertical leg 216 of the intermediate member 118 are inserted into the vertical receiving grooves 222 of the spacer elements 142.
  • the mixer box 126 is placed in the interior of the outer package 102 and placed on the bottom 106.
  • the arrangement of the spacer elements 142 and the intermediate member 118 is inserted into the interior of the outer package 102 that the spacer elements 142 sit parallel to the long side walls 108 of the outer package 102 aligned longitudinal directions 144 on the bottom 106 of the outer package 102 and the mixer box 126th is fixed by the intermediate element 118 in the desired packaging position within the outer package 102.
  • the receiving elements 140 of the support body 116 are laterally pushed onto the edge portions 136, 138 of the sink rim 134 of the sink 120, so that the sink edge 134 engages in the receiving channels 152 of the receiving elements 140.
  • the pelvic cover 122 After attaching the receiving elements 140, the pelvic cover 122 is placed on top of the sink 120 by first pushing the rear free edge of the horizontal cover plate 194 of the pelvic cover 122 under the protrusions 208 on the end portions 150 of the receptacles 140, the pelvis cover 122 thus inclined to the horizontal, that the vertical support plate 196 is above the receiving elements 140, and then the pelvic cover 122 is pivoted about the rear free edge of the horizontal cover plate 194 down that the vertical support plate 196 of the pelvic cover 122 in the hereby corresponding Receiving grooves 204 of the receiving elements 140 engages until the pelvic cover 122 rests on the top of the sink 120 and the main basin 128 and the additional basin 130 covered.
