Definitions

  • the invention relates to a kitchen sink with at least one sink and a sink and / or pelvic frame.
  • Kitchen sinks come in a variety of designs, which essentially divide on the one hand in openings of kitchen worktops inserted sinks, which form the sink surrounding worktop areas the sink frame, and on the other hand in sinks with molded drip and with the drip area and the sink surrounding sink frame then possibly the frame is still surrounded by a worktop.
  • kitchen sinks which are referred to as flushing center, consist entirely of the material of the sink and extend over the entire worktop depth.
  • said sink frame is usually either from the material of the sink, in particular made of metal, and is in particular integrally connected to the sink or from the countertop material such as stone / artificial stone; Wood, metal etc.
  • the present invention has for its object to further develop kitchen sinks of the type mentioned and accordingly to provide a kitchen sink with improved performance characteristics available.
  • the kitchen sink has aumpssvorrichturig that the lighting device consists of an at least partially transparent plate with light source and that the transparent plate is arranged on the sink and / or basin frame or is part of the sink or basin frame.
  • the lighting device serves mainly to the area of the kitchen sink and - depending on the size of the kitchen - possibly the entire kitchen in a diffused light, a temporary work with the kitchen sink, such as a short hand washing, a quick rinsing of dishes, etc. , so you do not have to turn on the normal bright kitchen lighting for this purpose.
  • the advantage of such diffuse lighting is further that it consumes little power and thus you can leave this diffused lighting switched on even when you leave the room.
  • the advantages of the present invention are especially useful if you go with dirty hands, soiled dishes, etc.
  • the diffused lighting is sufficient to turn off the dishes in the kitchen and, if necessary, to clean dishes and hands for a short time.
  • the invention also provides visual benefits by allowing a pleasing and high quality appearance of the kitchen sink and creates a homelike, pleasant atmosphere in the kitchen, which differs significantly from the otherwise bright, hard kitchen lighting.
  • Most kitchen sinks have a kitchen fitting arranged on the sink frame; in this case it is particularly expedient, when the transparent plate is arranged in the region of the kitchen fitting, on the so-called armature bank, extending along the rear edge of the kitchen sink in an area otherwise unused area, which can hardly serve as a working surface and only usually represents a transition region between kitchen sink and back worktop.
  • the or a further transparent plate may also be arranged on or in front of the sink and / or pool frame in front of the sink, in order to Front Spülen Scheme provide a source of illumination. If one looks at the front and at the rear of the sink before a transparent plate, so they can fulfill the additional task of serving as a guide for a set-up board or for setup elements by projecting something relative to the sink frame upwards and thus a contact surface for provide a setup board etc.
  • all the plates together can form a frame, which not only can be completely transparent, but can also be completely illuminated.
  • the transparent plate is a light ring, so as a surrounding the sink frame, which is arranged between the pelvic frame of a basement sink and a sink carrying countertop. From this ring of light can be seen then only the radially inner peripheral portion (relative to the vertical center axis of the sink), while the top of the light ring are covered by the worktop and the bottom of the light ring through the sink.
  • the transparent plate is also "on the sink and / or pool frame" arranged, namely on the pool frame or pool edge of the basement sink, but is - unlike the embodiments otherwise described here - arranged below the worktop.
  • the sink frame may also consist of a sink carrying worktop, so that the transparent plate can be arranged on this sink frame or worktop.
  • the transparent plate it is advisable to stick the transparent plate to the sink frame, in particular using silicone, to prevent moisture from entering the gap between the transparent plate and the sink frame. to prevent.
  • the transparent Plate is part of the sink or pool frame, so it is not aufphilgt as a separate component on the sink or pool frame, but just the two components integrated into each other or even formed in one piece in the extreme case. As a result, the same advantages of the invention described above can be achieved.
  • the transparent plate can basically be designed arbitrarily with regard to its dimensions; however, a thickness in the range of approximately between 3 and 10 mm and in particular of 5 mm has proven to be particularly advantageous.
  • the light sources may for example consist of a plurality of light emitting diodes, which are attached to the back of the transparent plate or integrated into this. This can prevent the light-emitting diodes from being seen by the user standing in front of the sink; instead, the user then only sees the light beams emitted by the LEDs.
  • the light source has a main emission direction which is inclined downwards relative to the horizontal, so that the light rays within the transparent plate at least once and especially often be reflected on their outer surfaces. As a result, the origin of the light rays from the front or top is not visible, as long as the transparent plate is not formed on its outer sides completely transparent.
  • the transparent plate As far as the transparent plate is concerned, it is advisable to make it from glass, which is not only less prone to scratches than comparable transparent plastics, but also resistant to the detergents often used in the sink area or to the acids of Fruits and vegetables is.
  • the outside of the transparent plate is non-transparent and hardly lets light rays through directly. Then become other subregions of the transparent Milled plate, so you can there favor the light emission due to the extremely smooth surface with a uniform refractive index.
  • the transparent plate on its underside with screen printing, for example, to mask the adhesive material.
  • the light source in the transparent plate is encapsulated waterproof or otherwise protected against moisture.
  • the light source and possibly also the other electronics can either be integrated into the transparent plate or arranged in an additional strip which can be arranged and fixed behind the transparent plate or adjacent thereto on the transparent plate.
  • a cover profile is added to the transparent plate on the back of the light source, then this can act as a diffuser, which ensures the correct scattering of the light and at the same time can also serve as housing for accommodating and sealing the electronics.
  • a switch for actuating the light source may also be provided in the region of the light source on the kitchen sink, wherein the switch may be an inductive or mechanical switch and / or may be arranged under a foil.
  • the switch is etched into the transparent plate or vapor-deposited and / or is, for example, under a protective film, which then prevents the application of water or other liquids to the switch.
  • the switching technology is constructed on a cloth LED and circuit boards, so that you can not only turn on and off and dimming the light on these cloth LEDs, but also the color of the light and thus certain color sequences can be set with adjustable time course.
  • the milled, translucent subregions may be present, for example, on the front face of the transparent plate and / or on the chamfers be, while the etched portions are arranged mainly on the upper side of the transparent plate to prevent dazzling of the user.
  • FIG. 1 shows a kitchen sink 1 with a sink 2 and a drip area 3 and a kitchen fitting 4.
  • the kitchen sink is inserted into a worktop 5, which is partially recessed in the area of the kitchen sink, or placed on the worktop 5 with its sink frame 6 surrounding the sink and the drip area 3.
  • the arranged behind the sink 2 part of the sink frame 6, which carries the kitchen fitting 4 is referred to as armature bank 6a.
  • armature bank 6a There is in accordance with the invention, a transparent plate 7 over the entire surface of the sink frame 6, 6a placed and is crossed by the kitchen fitting 4 and other functional elements such as soap dispenser 8, etc., to which it has from Figure 2 apparent holes 9a, 9b, 9c.
  • the kitchen sink 1 placed on a kitchen base unit 9 also has a strip 11 in its front area in front of the sink 2 and the drip area 3, so that the transparent plate 7 and the strip 11 form a guide surface for a set-up board placed on the sink 12 form.
  • FIG. 2 now shows the exact structure of such a transparent plate 7 according to the invention:
  • the transparent plate 7 consists of a glazing bead 13 with the mentioned holes 9a, 9b and 9c, a diode bar 14 with integrated LEDs and a light-emitting diode strip 14 surrounding and against the environment partitioning back U-shaped rail 15th
  • FIG. 3 shows the kitchen sink 1 in a sectional side view, wherein the sink basin 1, the drip area 3, a drain 16, the worktop 5, the soap dispenser 8 and the set-up board 12 can be seen.
  • the soap dispenser 8 In the area of the soap dispenser 8 can be seen arranged on the worktop 5 transparent plate 7 with the U-shaped profiled rail 15, the diode bar 14 and the glass bar 13. Similarly, the guide rail 11 is provided for the set-up board 12 on the front.
  • an etching of the surface is provided on the upper side 7a of the transparent plate 7 in order to make it almost opaque.
  • the front vertical end face 7b and the chamfer 7c of the transparent plate 7 are ground and serve to pass the light as unhindered as possible at these front points.
  • the underside 7d of the transparent plate is screen-printed to cover the adhesive area between the transparent plate and the sink frame.
