  • the invention also relates to a sink with at least one overflow, which sink comprises an opening in a side wall of a sink or an opening in a horizontal surface of the sink, preferably in the region of an overflow well or a separate spout, which opening fluidly with an overflow Drain of the sink is connected, according to the preamble of claim 13.
  • the invention relates to a retrofit element for such a sink with overflow, which retrofit element is adapted to be fitted into the existing overflow of the sink.
  • Rinsing known type especially kitchen sinks, regularly have an overflow, as defined above, so that at a closure of the actual rinse cycle excess water from the sink or an overflow tray can run when the water level has reached a certain level or if water in the overflow trough or reaches the spout, eg from a drainer of the sink. This should avoid flooding and corresponding damage.
  • the invention has for its object to provide an improved overflow in a simple and cost-effective manner, so that from the basin and / or the overflow trough or the separate spout overflowing water can be optimally and safely dissipated.
  • this solution should be retrofitted even with existing sinks without major construction effort (retrofitted).
