Definitions

• the object of the present invention is to provide a multiple washbasin that is capable of serving several people at the same time, that is easy and quick to install, that is foldable and stackable, that is attached in line to other multiple washbasins of Ia invention, and also have a good appearance not deteriorable by time.
• the US3069694 patent of ME McCormack entitled “Portable Removable Multiple Washbasin” claims a portable folding removable washbasin that basically consists of a horizontal structure with a rectangle shape, which forms a series of squares two by two in which independent washbasins are supported. They are hemispherical.
• the washbasins are mounted inscribed in said squares and on the longitudinal axis of the frame a pipe is installed that serves the faucets that are installed in each washbasin.
• the equipment also consists of legs on which the frame is mounted.
• the fundamental idea of the present invention is to obtain equipment that is deployed instead of mounted, its handling being so elementary that it does not need instructions.
• the deployment of the equipment is carried out in just a few seconds, since the placement of screws or nuts is not necessary, which is achieved because there is no part that is not integrated in the equipment, which also provides the advantage of not parts or elements of the set may be lost.
• the water supply can be taken from the network itself local or of a tank truck, and the drainage means can be as simple as gutters or hoses that take the water to a sump or, better still, to tank trucks that suck said waste water to leave the environment completely clean.
• the stackable folding multiple washbasin of the invention consists, as main elements, of a breast or bucket, a water distributor, four folding legs for breast support and four folding feet for the water distributor.
• the breast or cuvette is provided on its sides with the necessary means for the union of said breast with the four foldable breast support legs, which are locked when fully deployed.
• the breast is provided on its upper surface with four handrails with guides on which each of the lower ends of each of the folding support legs of the water distributor can slide, which, in addition to joining said breast with said distributor, allow the fixing of said water distributor in service position or in stacking position.
• the breast or bucket is provided with two holes, provided with cylinders vertical, which are located in the central and lower zone of the bucket, which serve as a drain.
• the breast is also provided with a central hole that serves as a passage for the hose that supplies water and that has to be connected with the water distributor.
• the water distributor is provided on its sides with the necessary means for joining said water distributor with the upper ends of the four folding support legs of the water distributor, and an inlet with threaded female sleeve that serves as a connection with The water supply hose, providing from this point a series of pipes through which the water communicates with lateral holes in which the faucets that are operated by the users are installed.
• FIG. 1 - Shows a scheme in elevation and profile of the multiple washbasin of the invention with the water distributor and the breast support legs deployed.
• FIG. 2 - Shows an elevation scheme of the multiple washbasin of Fig. 1 with the water distributor folded.
• FIG. 3 - Shows a scheme in elevation and profile of the multiple washbasin of Fig. 1 with the breast support legs folded.
• FIG. 4 - Shows an elevation view of the cuvette or sinus
• FIG. 5 - Shows a section according to the plane AA of Fig. 4.
• FIG. 6 - Shows a partial elevation view of the water distributor and its connection with the breast or bucket.
• FIG. 7 - Shows a partial elevational view of one of the support legs of the breast or cuvette and the union with it.
• FIG. 8 - Shows a profile view of the stack of 4 multiple sinks of the preferred embodiment of the invention.
• FIG. 9 - It shows an elevation scheme of the multiple washbasin of Fig. 1 in which a mirror platform has been added as a complement.
• FIG. 10 - Shows the step to follow to assemble the support pieces of the mirror platform with the water distributor.
• FIG. 11 - It shows a sectional view, according to the B-B plane of Figure 9, of the support pieces on which the mirror platform that complements the multiple washbasin rests.
• FIGS. 1-3 show a preferred embodiment of the stackable deployable multiple washbasin of the invention consisting of a breast or bucket (1), a water distributor (2), four folding legs (3) for breast support (1) and four folding legs (4) supporting the water distributor (2).
• the sinus or bucket (1) is formed by the union of two longitudinal profiles (11), two transverse profiles (12) and a sheet (13) in the form of welded bar keel to them.
• first joining means are provided in the form of joints (14, 14 ') with the support legs (3) of the breast (1), and on the upper surface of the sheet (13) (see Fig. 5) the connection and interlocking means are provided with the water distributor (2), said means being constituted by a first handrail (17), a sliding guide (15) and a first rod (16).
• the drains (18) are provided, through which the residual water flows, and the hose passage hole (19) through which a hose that supplies the water to the water distributor (2) passes ).
• the water distributor (2) is in the form of a rectangular rectangular parallelepiped at the base of which, through a threaded female sleeve, a water inlet (21) is provided. From said water inlet (21), by means of a conventional plumbing system that is located in the inner hollow of the parallelepiped, water is distributed to each of the eight taps (22) that are distributed four by four in the longitudinal faces of said distributor (2). In the longitudinal faces, a second articulated joint means (23) are provided with the support legs (4) of the water distributor (2).
• the folding legs (3) of breast support (1) are constituted by the clamping beam (31) and the interlocking beam (32).
• the support beam (31) rotates on the joint (14) of the first joining means and incorporates a second handrail (33) and a second rod (34).
• the interlocking beam (32) rotates on the joint (14 ') of the first joining means and incorporates at the end opposite the axis of rotation of said joint a bolt (35) that slides through the groove (36) that is form between the second handrail (33) and the second rod (34).
• the unfolding of the folding legs (3) of breast support (1) is carried out by dropping them only by gravity; on the contrary, in order for said legs to fold, two combined movements are required, which are in order of action as follows: first, the side formed by the transverse profile (12) must be slightly raised and, second, the bolt is unlocked (35) that will run through the groove (36) allowing the clamping beam (31) and the interlocking beam (32) to rotate to a horizontal position.
• This form of folding is useful to prevent the legs from folding undesirably, for example by blows.
• the support legs (4) of the water distributor (2) rotate on the second articulated joint means (23) located in the water distributor (2) and incorporate at the opposite end of the joint a bolt (41) that is slide through Ia slot formed by the first handrail (17) and the first rod (16) with the help of the slide guide (15), which is made of plastic and prevents friction between metal parts.
• the material used in all components, excluding plumbing pipes, is made of high-quality stainless steel, which gives the equipment a good appearance that does not deteriorate over time.
• a longitudinal mirror mounting platform preferably made of plastic material, which in general cross-sectional form of a general shape of "are fitted on the water distributor (2) are attached.
• Each support element (60) has a polygonal shape open at the bottom, in which it is provided with claws (63) that are fixed to the water distributor (2) and secured by the bolt (64) that pivots on an axis (65) and is hooked by a latch (66). Once the two support elements (60) are fixed, it is only necessary to adjust the mirror mounting platform (61) that is snapped onto the two supports (60).
• the manufacturing process and of course the materials used can be changed in dimensions and shapes.
• the fold-out and stackable multiple washbasin can be totally or partially manufactured with materials that have sufficient hardness to be able to meet all the characteristics of the preferred embodiment mentioned above.
• such materials could be such as: medium quality stainless steels, mixtures of plastics and resins, HDPE or LDPE low density polyethylenes, polypropylenes, polyamides, ABS or PMMA acrylics, poly -PCE carbonates, stretch HIPS, and poly-esters.
• Such materials can be appropriately shaped by manufacturing processes based on: thermoforming, rotational molding, manual open-mold lamination and injection.
