8 Claims. (Cl. 4-187) This invention relates to improvements in sink mountings for installing a standard flat flange-type sink, or similar member, in an opening in a drain board, cabinet top or like supporting structure.
In modern kitchen installations where a flat flangetype sink, or similar member, is provided which is to be mounted in an opening in a drain board, cabinet top, or like supporting structure, the mounting means generally provided comprises a sealing ring or molding strip of generally T-shaped cross section, which is adapted to be positioned between the edge of the sink llange and the edge of the drain board in overlapped relation with respect to the sink tlange and the top of the drain board, and a plurality of adjustable clamping members, which are adapted to be positioned beneath the sink and the drain board to rigidly secure the sealing ring in such relation as to provide a water-tight seal between the sink and the drain board. In order to facilitate the installation of the sink and to insure that the sealing strip will be properly located with reference to the sink ange, it has been found desirable to provide for initially assembling the sealing ring in proper relation to the sink ange and for connecting the same to the sink ange, so that the sink and the sealing ring may be inserted as a unit in the opening provided in the supporting structure.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a sink mounting means of the type described wherein means is provided for initially clamping the sealing ring or molding strip to the sink ilange, prior to installation of the same as a unit in the aperture in the drain board.
It is another object of the invention to provide a sink mounting means of the type described and means for initially attaching the sealing strip or molding frame to the sink rim which comprises a plurality of clamping members adapted to interlock with depending portions of the molding frame adjacent the corners of the sink and to engage in frame clamping relation beneath the sink rim.
It is a more specific object of the invention to provide in a mounting means for a at rim-type sink, or similar member, which comprises a molding frame of generally T-shaped cross section having a top portion adapted to overlie the sink rim and edge of the drain board, or cabinet top structure, in which the sink is positioned, and having a depending stem or web portion adapted to be positioned in the space between the edge of the sink rim and the edge of the opening in the drain board, a plurality of clamping devices for inititially securing the molding frame to the sink rim, whereby the sink and the molding frame may be installed as a unit in the drain board or cabinet top, the clamping devices each comprising an elongate plate-like member having an adjusting screw in threaded engagement in an aperture intermediate the ends thereof and having an edge formation extending along each end thereof which is adapted to engage in interlocking relation with a shoulder formation along a lower edge of the depending stem portion of the molding frame.
These and other objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent from a consideration of the preferred form thereof which is shown by way of illustration, in the accompanying drawings, wherein:
Fig. l is a side elevation of the sink in inverted position and assembled with the molding frame which is at tached thereto in proper relation for insertion of the sink ice and the frame as a unit within an aperture in a supporting drain board or other member;

Fig. 7 is a bottom plan view of the sink and molding frame completely installed in the apertured drain board and secured in final clamped position therein; and
Fig. 8 is a section, to an enlarged scale, taken on the line 8-S of Fig. 7.
Referring to the drawings there is illustrated a sink 10 and a molding frame assembly 11 which is adapted to be attached to the sink 10 prior to its installation in the aperture 12 in a drain board 13, the sink 10 being assembled with the frame 11 and the latter being clamped to the sink ange 14 while both members are in inverted relation. rThereafter the assembled unit is inverted relative to the position shown in Fig. l and inserted in proper position within the drain board aperture 12.
The sink 10 is the standard type having an outwardly directed top rim or flange structure 14 and having rounded corners. The drain board 13 is a conventional linoleum covered plywood structure which may be a cabinet top or other supporting surface and which is provided with the aperture 12 of the proper size and shape to receive the sink 10 and the molding frame assembly 11.
The molding frame assembly 11 comprises a sealing ring or molding frame member 15 of one-piece construction, preferably of extruded metal, which is adapted to be positioned around the periphery of the sink ilange 14 with one side or top portion 16 overlying the top surface of the sink flange 14 and with the other side or top portion 17 extending in overlying relation to the adjoining top surface of the drain board 13. The sealing ring 15 includes a depending web or stem portion 18 which is adapted to be positioned in the space between the outer edge of the sink flange 14 and the edge of the drain board 13 which surrounds the aperture 12. The sealing ring web or flange 18 is provided along its lower inner edge with an inwardly extending thickened portion or shoulder formation 19 having a bottom face 20, an inner face or side edge 21 and a top face or edge 22, the latter extending at a slight angle downwardly towards the main portion of the web 18 so that an upwardly facing hooklike formation is provided along the bottom edge of the web 18. The depth of the web 13 is sufficient to bring the bottom edge 20 approximately on the level with the bottom edge of the drain board 13 in which the sink is mounted and below the bottom surface of the rim 14 of the sink 10.
When installing the sink 10 in the drain board 13 it is desirable, particularly in the case of cabinet tops, to be able to lirst attach the sealing strip or molding frame 15 to the ange or rim 14 of the sink 16 with the sink 10 and the sealing strip 15 in the inverted position with respect to the final location of the same in the drain board 13 so that the sink 10 and the sealing strip 15 may be properly located with respect to each other, and the sealing strip 15 may be readily clamped to the sink flange 14 to retain the same in the proper relation tothe sink and to permit the insertion of the sink 10 and the sealing strip 15 as a unit.
A plurality of molding frame attaching or clamping members 23 (Fig. 5) are provided for initially attaching the molding frame 15 to the sink flange 14. The attaching members 23 each comprise a metal plate or strip cut to the shape shown in Fig. 5 and having the opposite end edges 24 and 25 extending in right angle relation to each other. The end edges 24 and 25 are bent or shaped to provide hook-like flanges 24', 25' which are adapted to interlock with the hook-like shoul der formation 19 on the inner end of the web 18 of the molding frame 15. A threaded aperture 26 is provided intermediate the ends of the plate member 23 for receiving the clamping screw 27. Four of the attaching members 23 are adapted to be positioned on the frame member 15, one at each of the four corners of the sink with the end ange formations 24', 25 in interlocking engagement with the shoulder formation 19 on the web 18 of the frame member 15, and to be clamped in fixed relation thereto by taking up on the screw 27 which engages at its inner end beneath the ange 14 of the sink 10.
After the sink 10 and the molding frame 15 are connected the resulting unit is positioned in the aperture 12 in the drain board 13 as shown in Fig. 6. Thereafter, a plurality of clamping elements 30 are arranged in spaced relation around the periphery of the sink ange 14 for securing the molding strip 15, the sink 1l), and the drain board 13 in assembled relation.
The clamping elements 30 each comprise a generally rectangular plate or body portion 31 having at one end thereof a threaded aperture 32 and a clamping screw 33 which is adjustably secured therein. Intermediate the ends of the plate 31 there is provided an upstanding hook-like formation 34, the undersurface 35 of the hooked end of which is beveled, or downwardly sloping, for cooperation with the top surface 22 of the shoulder 19 on the bottom of the web 18 of the molding frame 15. The clamping elements 30 are arranged with the opposite end of the plate portion 31 extending beneath the drain board 13 and flange 14 of the sink 10 as illustrated in Figs. 4 and 8. The hook or groove formations 34 on the clamping elements 30 are so constructed that the elements pivot about the shoulder or rim 19 on the bottom of the web 18 when engaged therewith. The apertured end of each of the elements 30 extends beneath the flange 11 of the sink 10 and the opposite end extends beneath the drain board 13.
After the elements 30 are properly positioned in engagement with frame 15 the adjusting screws 33 are taken up to clamp the elements in position. The screws 33 tend to force the flange 14 into snug relation with the inner top portion 16 of the sealing ring 15 and also to force the opposite ends of the elements 30 into clamping relation with the bottom of the drain board 13 and the outer top portion 17 of the molding strip 14 into tight engagement with the top of the drain board 13. The molding frame 15, together with the frame attaching and clamping members 23 and 30 may be provided as a kit for use when the sink 10 is installed in the aperture 12 of the drain board 13. The kit permits the molding frame to be initially assembled with the sink and the assembled unit to be readily installed, either in the shop, or in the field, greatly facilitating the installation of the sink in either location.
While specific details of construction have been referred to in describing the illustrated form of the invention it will be understood that other details may be resorted to within the spirit of the same. Also, the mounting herein disclosed may be employed for securing in an apertured support a range unit or other member having a flanged edge or rim of the same general character as the ange of the sink illustrated.
