BY WW EM Patented Dec. 5, 1950 UNITED STATES PATENT oFFicE KHCHEN SINK AND CABINET comma JesseM, Houpt, Sioux City,lowa I Application October 4, 1948, Serial No.52fl2fi 2 Claims. 1
The present invention relates to certain new and useful improvements'in kitchen sinks and the mode and means whereby the same may be effectively and expeditiously installed in an associated wall cabinet construction.
It is a matter of common knowledge that the kitchen in the average house, types of which are being currently constructed, is relatively small, oftensreferred toas akitchenette and, regardless of size, is usually equipped along one or more walls with :a seriesof built-in or permanently attached cabinets with suitable compartments, shelves and doors. The kitchen sink, a rather heavy and expensive porcelain unit with drain 'boardsand other accessories is built into one of the cabinet sections and provided with water supply and drainage facilities. Sinks, thus designed and constructed are comparatively expensive.
In addition to the above, the reader should keep in mind another part of the picture and that is that there has been a growing tendency to use sheet material coverings for areas of the top of the cabinet adjacent to the drain boards of the sink and bright colored linoleum and equivalent mats are employed for such purposes. Sometimes the mats are separate and in other instances they are permanently fastened down with suitable highly polished and chromium plated edging, bordering and attaching strips.
The above is given to provide a general picture of the field in which I am working and to lay the background for the statement that the present invention has to do with a simple, practical, highly eificient and economical assemblage which includes an inexpensive pan-like sink which is flanged, fitted into a hole in the top of the cabinet, which is then surrounded by suitably cut and arranged linoleum or equivalent material for facing and surfacing resu1ts,edg portions of the lineoleum around the sink being clamped and sealed to provide the desired finish.
Other objects and advantages will become more readily apparent from the following description in the accompanying illustrative drawings.
In the drawings:
Figure 1 [is a fragmentary perspective View showing a corner portion of what may be identified as a modern kitchen and illustrating significant portions of the cabinet, the improved sink and the manner of attaching the sink and surface finishing the coacting portions of the cabinet;
Figure 2 is an enlarged cross section on the plane of the line 22 of Figure 1, looking in the direction of the arrows; and
Figure 8 is an enlarged fragmentary sectional view showing the details of construction with greater particularity.
Referring now to the drawings by distinguishing reference numerals and to Figure 1 it will be seen that portions of the vertical walls are denoted by the reference numeral 5, 6 denotes a window, 1 tile or the like and that 8 indicates a common type'of cabinet. As shown in Figure 2. the front wall construction of the cabinet includes a panel portion 9 having an opening 10 with a screen H, the construction being such as topermit access to be had to the drain pipe means 12. This is located beneath the top of the cabinet, the portion l3, the latter being provided with a suitable circular or equivalent opening Hi to accommodate the sink proper, the unit denoted at l5. This sink is of comparatively light Weight porcelain or equivalent covered stock and includes a pan [6 with a central opening in its bottom as at I! to accommodate the drain pipe means. There is an annulus, formin a collar I! which fits into the opening I4 and said annulus is provided with a suspending and assembling flange I8 which rests on the upper surface of the top I3, the latter being recessed to provide flush coaction of complemental parts.
The numeral I9 designates linoleum or equivalent sheet material suitable for use on sinks and similar surfaces and this is cut out to provide a main portion covering the surface of the board I3 and an auxiliary vertical portion as at 20 forming a sort of flashing or finishing apron. This has its upper edge portion fashioned into a bead equipped and retainin strip 2| nailed or otherwise secured in place. A triangular strip of molding22 is provided at the juncture of the cabinet top 13 with the adjacent wall 23 and this serves to provide an effective support for the junctural portion 24 of the linoleum. The outer free edge portion of the linoleum is inclined and brought to rest upon a similar runner or strip of molding 25 also triangular in cross section. At this point an edging strip of metal 26 of customary highly polished form, is used and this has a hooked bead or lip 21 which engages over the marginal edge portion of the linoleum providing a desired retentive result and also providing an ornamental and well balanced appearance. That portion of the linoleum which surrounds the flanged mouth of the sink is cut out to fit around a the sink as at 28 and bears upon the upper surface of the flange I8. Then, a finishing ring 29 is secured by press-fit into the collar portion of the sink and this is provided with an outstanding flange 30 which overlaps the edge portion of the linoleum and serves to clamp the same between itself and the hanger flange E8 on the sink. Thus, a substantially fluid tight and reliable seal between the sink and linoleum is had.
Novelty is thought to reside in the sink per se, the sink in combination with the press-fitted ring and, What is more, novelty resides in the cabinet in combination with the sink and the linoleum covering and an arrangement whereby an edge portion of linoleum, which is used as a covering material, is sealed effectively to a sink of the type disclosed.
A careful consideration of the foregoing description in conjunction with the invention as illustrated in the drawings will enable the reader to obtain a clear understanding and impression of the alleged features of merit and novelty suffi= cient to clarify the construction of the invention as hereinafter claimed.
Minor changes in shape, size, materials or rearrangement of parts may be resorted to in acstanding circumferentially extending supporting flange, and a ring press-fitted into said collar and provided with a flange coacting with the firstnamed flange.
2. In a kitchen sink and complemental cabinet top assemblage of the class shown and described, a relatively fixed horizontally disposed board providing a cabinet top, a sheet of linoleum fitted on and substantially covering said top, said top having a sink opening the marginal upper surface of which is recessed, that portion of the linoleum coacting with said opening also having a sink opening, a sink fitting into said sink opening and having a rim provided with an outstandingisupporting flange, said flange resting upon the recessed portion surrounding the first-named sink opening, and a collar fitted frictionally into the upper mouth portion of said sink and telescoping into the sink and having an outstanding flange overlying the marginal edge portion of the linoleum which surrounds the sink opening, whereby to clamp the edge portion of the linoleum opening between the sink and ring flanges.
