Definitions

  • the present application relates to a sink, in particular a kitchen sink, according to claim 1.
  • the application relates to a (kitchen) workplace according to claim 8 comprising a sink and a worktop, said worktop having a cut-out therein, in which said sink is installed.
  • the application relates to a method of installing a sink in a worktop cut-out according to claim 12.
  • the sink has outwardly directed flanges along its side walls, which flanges are fixed to the lower surface of a worktop by means of brackets or the like. Accordingly, with the undermount method, the sink has to be installed from below the worktop which may be cumbersome and difficult.
  • So-called inset or slimtop sinks present an edge portion around the sink bowl, which edge portion is intended to be placed on top of the upper worktop surface when installing the sink.
  • the sink in question further presents clamps which are - on one side - attached to said edge portion, whereas the other extremity of said clamps is brought into contact with the lower worktop surface. Then, by means of screws comprised in said clamps, the sink is fixed to the worktop. Again, the main installation work has to be done from below the worktop, which can be cumbersome and difficult.
  • said clamps can present a rather intricate design.
  • So-called flushmount sinks differ from the above-mentioned inset or slim top sinks in that said edge portion of the sink is not located on top of the upper worktop surface, but is located in a shallow circumferential recess around a worktop cut-out. In this way, the sink does not protrude from the upper worktop surface, which can be appreciated for reasons of design and hygiene.
  • Flushmount sinks are fixed to the worktop by means of clamps, much like inset or slim top sinks.
  • sinks can be made from various materials, metal (steel) and ceramic materials are widely used for this purpose.
  • resin-compound materials such as Franke Fragranite, made from quartz sand and acrylic resin, are used as an alternative to the aforementioned materials, which presents advantages as far as wear-resistance and hygienic properties are concerned.
  • a sink according to claim 1 in particular kitchen sink, made at least partly from a resin-compound material, the sink comprising: at least one bowl with a bottom wall and a circumferential side wall; at least one outlet opening located in said bottom wall; a circumferential rim located at an upper edge of said bowl around an outside thereof, said rim extending outwardly from said side wall by an extent; a number of resilient clamping elements arranged on the outside of said bowl adjacent said rim, which clamping elements, in a free or uncompressed state thereof, extend outwardly beyond the extent of said rim, and which clamping elements are devised for providing, in a loaded or compressed state thereof, a clamping force outwardly from said side wall, at least some of said clamping elements being attached to the sink in respective recesses arranged in said side wall and/or in a transition region between said side wall and said rim.
  • the object is achieved by means of a workplace according to claim 8, said workplace comprising a sink, in particular kitchen sink, said sink made at least partly from a resin-compound material and comprising: at least one bowl with a bottom wall and a circumferential side wall; at least one outlet opening located in said bottom wall; a circumferential rim located at an upper edge of said bowl around an outside thereof, said rim extending outwardly from said side wall by an extent; a number of resilient clamping elements arranged on the outside of said bowl adjacent said rim, which clamping elements, in a free or uncompressed state thereof, extend outwardly beyond the extent of said rim, and which clamping elements are devised for providing, in a loaded or compressed state thereof, a clamping force outwardly from said side wall, at least some of said clamping elements being attached to the sink in respective recesses arranged in said side wall and/or in a transition region between said side wall and said rim; and a worktop, said worktop having a cut
  • the object is also achieved by means of a method of installing a sink in a worktop cut-out according to claim 12, said method comprising a) providing a sink made at least partly from a resin-compound material with: at least one bowl with a bottom wall and a circumferential side wall; at least one outlet opening located in said bottom wall; a circumferential rim located at an upper edge of said bowl around an outside thereof, said rim extending outwardly from said side wall by an extent; a number of resilient clamping elements arranged on the outside of said bowl adjacent said rim, which clamping elements, in a free or uncompressed state thereof, extend outwardly beyond the extent of said rim, and which clamping elements are devised for providing, in a loaded or compressed state thereof, a clamping force outwardly from said side wall, at least some of said clamping elements being attached to the sink in respective recesses arranged in said side wall and/or in a transition region between said side wall and said rim; b)
  • a device for installing a sink in a worktop cut-out said sink made at least partly from a resin-compound material and comprising at least one bowl with a bottom wall and a circumferential side wall; at least one outlet opening located in said bottom wall; a circumferential rim located at an upper edge of said bowl around an outside thereof; said device comprising at least one installing jig for placing on an upper face of said rim and extending coplanar with said upper face of said rim while extending, at least locally, beyond said rim outwardly from said sink, and a jig counterpart for removably fixing said installing jig to said sink.
  • the sink according to the present invention is capable of breaking current installation rules.
  • the rim extends across the worktop cut-out section, thus potentially protecting the latter, and an upper edge of said rim is coplanar with the upper worktop surface, when installed.
  • the sink rim is floating in the worktop cut-out, i.e. does not come into contact with a side wall of said cut-out.
  • a corresponding gap can be sealed by using any suitable sealant, e.g. a silicone sealant.
  • Installation of the sink according to the present invention can be executed by pushing the sink in the worktop cut-out from above the worktop, preferable by using a suitable installation device according to one aspect of the present invention.
  • the sink can be kept in its final position within the worktop cut-out by means of the resilient clamping elements arranged on the outside of the sink bowl (so-called fastfix clips) in combination with the adhesive action of said sealant (e.g. silicone).
  • said sealant e.g. silicone
  • the installed sink can present a flushmount-like rim in terms of alignment with the worktop upper surface, while greatly facilitating the required installation work.
  • the rim of the sink according to the present invention can be much thinner than standard in the market, e.g. 4 mm vs. 15 through 30 mm, which can be seen as advantageous in terms of esthetics.
  • a value of the extent by which the sink rim extends outwardly from the sink side wall is comprised between 2.5 mm and 6 mm, preferably between 2.5 mm and 5 mm, and more preferably equals about 4 mm, as mentioned.
  • said rim can be configured in solid material or can be configured by outward and downward bending of the side wall material used for production of the sink.
  • said clamping elements are compressible inwardly towards said side wall to an extent that they do not extend outwardly beyond said extent of the rim. In this way, an easy installation of the sink in a worktop cut-out from above the worktop is made possible.
  • a clamping force per unit length of the side wall, as caused by said clamping elements in said loaded or compressed state thereof, is essentially evenly distributed around the sink, preferably by adapting a number of the clamping elements and/or by adapting a mutual spacing between individual clamping elements and/or by adapting the clamping force of individual clamping elements.
  • it can be easily made possible to self-center the sink during insertion in the worktop cut-out by means of said clamping elements. This can help to achieve a uniform gap around the sink, which is advantageous in terms of sealing said gap as well as in terms of esthetics.
  • individual clamping elements comprise at least one spring element, which is hook-shaped in cross- section, with a first leg extending essentially parallel to said side wall and preferably downwardly from said rim, a second leg extending outwardly from said first leg and from said side wall, and a third leg extending outwardly from said second leg and from said side wall as well as parallel to said first leg, in said free or uncompressed state of the clamping elements, said third leg at least partially overlapping with said first leg.
  • This can further help to facilitate installing the sink from above the worktop, while ensuring a reliable clamping action for holding the sink within the worktop cut-out during installation and prior to effectiveness of an additional adhesive material used for fixing the sink in the worktop cut-out.
  • a free end portion of said third leg is further angled outwardly from said side wall.
  • the sidewall of the sink can have an essentially flat configuration.
  • the sink as such can have an overall rectangular shape, when seen from above, preferably with rounded corners.
  • a distance between said rim and said worktop cut-out side wall can be essentially uniform around said sink for achieving a superior esthetical effect. This has already been mentioned above and can be achieved by means of adapting the clamping force per unit length of the sink side wall, as detailed above.
  • an adhesive sealing joint is located around said rim between said sink and said cut-out side wall, preferably a silicone joint or the like. While filling the gap between the floating rim and the cut-out side wall, said joint can be devised to durably hold the sink in place within the worktop cut-out, in combination with a clamping action of the clamping elements. Accordingly, a main effect of the clamping elements can be to center the sink during installation thereof and to hold it in place until the adhesive sealant has set (or cured).
  • an upper face or upper edge of said rim can be essentially coplanar with the upper worktop surface, thus achieving a superior esthetical and hygienical effect.
  • an embodiment of the inventive method can comprise placing the sink in the worktop cut-out from above the worktop, beginning with a bottom part of the sink, which bottom part is located opposite said rim. This may greatly facilitate installation of the sink, in particular in comparison with current undermount methods.
  • said method may comprise placing the sink in the worktop cut-out and lowering it therein until an upper face of said rim is essentially coplanar with the upper surface of the work top.
  • a bead of an adhesive sealing material can be placed around the rim, preferably a silicone material or the like, so that, during method step c), an adhesive sealing joint is formed around the rim between the sink and the cut-out side wall, preferably a silicone joint or the like.
  • the joint can be effective to close the gap between the sink rim and the cut-out side wall, while protecting the latter from moisture or the like.
  • the adhesive sealing material will hold the sink in place after curing or setting.
  • the sink prior to step c), can be provided with a removable installation device, said installation device comprising at least one installing jig placed on an upper face of the sink rim and extending essentially coplanar with said upper face of said rim while extending, at least locally, beyond said rim outwardly from the sink. Then method step c) can be performed until said installing jig comes into contact with said upper worktop surface. Afterwards, the installation device can be removed. In this way, the above-described embodiment of the inventive method enables flushmount-like installation of the sink in an easy and reliable fashion.
  • the worktop can be provided on its upper surface, adjacent a contour of the cut-out, with a removable protective cover, in particular a tape, which protective cover can be removed after completion of step c).
  • a number of recesses can be made in said side wall or in a transition region between said side wall and said rim, in particular by drilling, grinding, milling, boring, ablating or cutting, and at least some of said clamping elements can be attached to the sink in respective recesses, preferably by glueing or adhesive bonding.
  • a further embodiment of the installation device comprises that the counterpart of said installing jig is to be located at the sink outlet opening on an outside of the sink bowl. Therefore, said counterpart can be devised accordingly.
  • said counterpart in a further embodiment of the installation device, can be devised as a plate-like element, a planar dimension of which is bigger than a clear opening of said outlet opening. In this way, said counterpart can be placed over said outlet opening without passing therethrough.
  • the device comprises a connecting means for detachably connecting the installing jig and the counterpart.
  • said connecting means are devised as a screw means, so that detachably connecting said installing jig and said counterpart can be readily achieved without the use of any specialized tools or the like.
