Description

-1 -

  Multi-compartment sink especially of the type

pe to recess.

  This invention relates to a sink which, because of the arrangement and configuration of its elements has an extremely practical use is already known sinks with one or two tanks plus service compartments receiving the washing elements such as sponges, absorbent synthetic dish towels, soap, scouring pads and the like, which are generally moist or soaked with water, but all have these additional compartments between the tub and the dish rack or between the two tubs (for those who have two vats), which makes the normal washing and rinsing of dishes particularly inconvenient.15 Moreover, the evacuation of food residues remaining on the plates and pans has the disadvantage of having to open and then close the trash, until at which plate or pan must be brought Finally, there is no compartment in which small washing operations (as for glasses, cups, teaspoons, etc.

  ) can be performed while the other compartments are already used for other purposes.

  The sink of the invention satisfies these needs by including two side-by-side compartments, each having its own closable waste disposal port, and on one side of these compartments are provided: a) a bin connected thereto; adjacent compartment with an overflow and a waste outlet at the bottom, to receive soiled cleaning elements and for small washing operations; b) an opening 30 through which the waste can fall into a trash can disposed underneath; and c) a bowl whose lower part is inclined towards this adjacent compartment and having a passage to this compartment, its object being to receive the clean cleaning elements or small objects to be drained.

  (cups, glasses, etc.) The invention will appear more clearly in the description

  DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 is a plan view of the sink. FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along line II-II of FIG. 1; Figure 3 is a sectional view along the line III-III10 of Figure 1; 4 is a sectional view along the line IV-IV of FIG. 1. Referring to the figures, the sink comprises two main side-by-side compartments 1 and 2 of different dimensions, separated by a wall 3 and each provided with of a waste discharge opening at the bottom closable At the ends of the wall 3, is
