  DEVICE FOR HANGING SINKS OR HOBS

  INTEGRATED OR SIMILAR ON A SUPPORT PLAN.

  The present invention relates to means capable of allowing the attachment of sinks or integrated cooking hobs or the like on the corresponding support plane.

to which they are applied.

  It will be noted that the sinks or integrated hobs generally used in kitchens, for example of the modular type, consist of basins preferably made of steel or cooking hobs of various sizes which are mounted in an insertion mode on a hollow seat. provided in the support plan or in the plan

of work.

  The sinks or the hobs mentioned above are shaped so that the appropriate peripheral edge is supported with the clean contour on the edge of the hollow seat of the support and more precisely in a mode in which the elements are mounted by hooking and can enter the sink or hob seat by applying the edge of the worktop into the particular rib along the

  internal edge of the sink or hob.

  The hooking elements currently in use can be shaped in different ways and act

  variously according to their own conformation.

  In most cases, the hooking elements consist of an upper pressing part comprising means of insertion into the seat, coupled with a

  adjustable part for hanging on the work surface.

  The object of the present invention is to provide attachment means applicable on the edge of sinks or hobs which in particular allow to simplify the operations relating to their introduction during the assembly phase and application of the hook between the sink or hob and the worktop in which these are inserted which is

notably facilitated.

  The hooking means according to the invention are applicable on a sink or hob preferably after their

insertion in the plan.

  The particular feature of the invention, which is the subject of the request, consists in having blocking means which allow the hook to remain blocked in the respective seat of the sink or of the hob, especially during the fixing phase during which the screw presses against the top. Such pressure according to the prior art could cause the hook blocking means to come out or come off the seat in which the seat was applied. Such an object, advantages and particular functions all improve the attachment means when anchoring integrated sinks or hobs or the like on the corresponding support plane on which they are applied and is characterized in that their upper part attached to the peripheral edge of the sink or hob includes a vertically disposed surface having at least one protruding chin or the like particularly shaped and turned upwards, capable of being inserted in a corresponding seat or a buttonhole present on the internal edge of the sink or hob, while the lower part is able to mate with the part

3 2748766

  previous has a horizontal pressure projection and a screw element or the like allowing the screwing through said chin and said horizontal pressure projection; said chin protruding upwards and having a substantially L-shaped conformation allowing its introduction upwards into an opening present along the edge of the sink or of the hob and its

  perfect treatment in downward pressure phase.

  Other characteristics and advantages of the invention

  will appear better during the description which will

  follow a preferred embodiment illustrated by way of nonlimiting example in the accompanying drawings in which: - Figure 1 shows a schematic perspective view of the hook according to the invention as a whole; - Figures 2, 3, and 4 illustrate a schematic side view showing the different phases and arrangements of the hook according to the invention; - Figures 5 and 6 show a schematic view of the hook element; - Figure 7 shows a schematic perspective view of a hook according to the invention applied between a sink

  or a hob and the edge of the support surface.

  Referring to the figures above, the reference 1 designates a hook according to the invention as a whole intended for the anchoring of integrated sinks or hobs or the like on their respective support planes, which essentially consists of two metal components namely a top element 2

  suitable for coupling with a lower element 3.

  The upper element 2 consists of a vertical plate in the shape of a quadrilateral with upper corners

4 2748766

  rounded from which extends downwards and in the orthogonal direction a plate 4 or sidewall having a

  threaded opening as will be described below.

  On said vertical plate is formed a protruding chin 5 particularly shaped and turned upward, which chin is made so as to be able to be inserted against the top of a seat present along the

  internal edge of the sink or hob.

  The particular conformation of the chin 5, which constitutes the particularity of the invention essentially results from an "L" shape having a vertical sector 5 and a connecting element 6 substantially horizontal although slightly inclined which unites the vertical sector to

  the upper element 2 constituting the hook.

  This chin 5 is applied in a respective hole present on the edge of the sink or the hob by introducing the vertical sector against the top and so that the horizontal connection 6 can constitute the connecting element in contrast with the same

vertical sector.

  The chin 5 has a conformation such that when the hook pushes up during its installation, it makes it impossible due to its particular conformation any escape from the corresponding seat. As underlined in the foregoing, the upper element 2 of the hook is shaped so that it can be coupled with the lower element 3 which consists of a stirrup having a substantially "C" conformation, the upper part of which horizontal 7 surmounts the plate 4 or side of the upper element while the part

2748766

  lower 8 has a laterally and horizontally projecting conformation ending in teeth 9 turned towards

the top.

  The lower element is assembled on the upper element by means of a vertically arranged screw 10 which constitutes the fixing element and whose rotation allows the adjustment of the distance between the two parts

constituting the hook.

  The screw 10, the upper end of which is riveted for its rotation in the seat, is inserted between the horizontal part 8 of the lower element 3 and the bore

plate thread or side 4.

  As can be seen in FIGS. 5 and 6, the part 7 of the lower element 3 may have two sharp angles case in which the lower element remains in position relative to the upper element, or may have only a rounded angle , case in which it is possible to rotate the lower element relative to the element

higher 2.

  In the latter case, the rotation of the lower part under the action of the screw 10 may be necessary to have a positioning of the hook in a buttonhole of the sink and, during the positioning of the hook the toothed part 9 can turn towards the outside with respect to the plane 11 and only the toothed part 9 can rotate

  bring to the bottom of the same plane.

  The positioning of the hook 1 on the edge of the sink or the hob therefore occurs by means of the introduction of the chin 5 in the corresponding opening on the internal edge of the sink or the plan

Cooking.

6 2748766

  The chin can, as said above, be introduced against the top of said opening so that the fixing is done by pressure in the same opening as a kind of lever or one can also provide the possibility of positioning the chin horizontally in the opening and then rotate everything 90 down. The rounded edges of the element plate

  higher allow this type of rotation.

  Once inserted the hook 5 of the hook in the corresponding opening of the sink or the hob, and possibly after having turned the lower part of the hook 90 so that the teeth 9 are positioned against the lower part of the plan support, it is sufficient to screw the screw 10 so that the upper part lowers towards the lower part

  thus fixing the sink on the corresponding plane.

  Naturally, the screwing will be proportional to the thickness of the plane on which the hook and the sink or plane

cooking should be blocked.

  The hook means according to the invention for anchoring sinks or integrated or similar hobs to their corresponding support plane have been described and shown according to a preferred solution, but it is possible to introduce any variants which are technically equivalent to the parts mechanical and components

  cited without departing from the scope of the present invention.
