Sink and arrangement of a sanitary fitting to a sink

Field of application and state of the art

The invention relates to a sink and the arrangement of a sanitary fitting with an outlet pipe and at least two separately provided therefrom controls on such a sink.

Typical wash basins have a wash basin recess and a rim surrounding the wash basin well. Depending on the design of the washbasin, an edge around the washbasin recess may be wider or narrower, for example with a varying width. Above all, at a rear edge, for example, to a wall, on or before the sink is mounted, an edge can be made wider. A sanitary fitting may be arranged either on this edge, in particular on a wider area of the edge, or next to the sink or on a wall behind it. Here are technically and creatively numerous variations.

Task and solution

The invention is based on the object to provide an aforementioned sink and an initially mentioned arrangement, with which problems of the prior art can be eliminated and in particular an extended design variety and arrangement of sanitary fittings on a sink are possible.

This object is achieved by a sink with the features of claim 1 and an arrangement with the features of Claim 15. Advantageous and preferred embodiments of the invention are the subject of further claims and are explained in more detail below. The wording of the claims is incorporated herein by express reference.

It is envisaged that the edge surrounding the basin depression extends over the basin depression over a substantial part of its longitudinal extension at the same height. This can be between 60% and 70% or even 80% of its longitudinal extent. According to the invention, at least two raised heel regions, which are higher than this edge, are provided on the wash basin. These sales areas are advantageously provided at the edge of the sink or they interrupt the other edge course or are directly adjacent to him. So you can stand in the side of the washbasin recess or the inner area of the sink, but you do not have to. The heel areas can be designed, for example, in the manner of pedestals. They advantageously have a flat top, particularly advantageous horizontally, possibly also with a kind of drain as soap dishes. These tops or surfaces formed by the sales areas can be used differently, for example as a storage surface for soap or care products, toothbrushes or similar objects. Alternatively, a sanitary fitting may be provided on an upper side of a heel area or a part of such a sanitary fitting, for example also only an outlet pipe or an operating element or rotary handle. This will be explained in more detail.

In an embodiment of the invention, the heel areas may each have different heights. A difference in height may be on the order of the height difference between the lowest heel area and the edge around the wash basin pit. In an advantageous embodiment, the differences in height between the edge and the sales areas and between the sales areas with each other in the range of a few centimeters, for example 3cm to 10cm.

Furthermore, it can be provided that the edge runs in its course without the heel areas approximately at the same height level, in particular also continuously.

In one embodiment of the invention, it can be provided that the heel areas touch each other or merge or overlap one another. Such overlap may be between 5% and 20% of their longitudinal extent, which they have towards each other's scraping area. The overlap is therefore preferred rather low. In the case of such an overlap, provision may be made for the raised heel area to have its original shape and for the lower heel area to be adapted to this shape or, as it were, to extend into the other heel area. Such overlapping paragraphs can be arranged both along the same side of the edge and advantageously around a corner of an approximately rectangular washbasin.

In another embodiment of the invention can be provided that the heel areas do not touch or each have a distance from each other. They may be arranged at two sides enclosing an angle of a substantially rectangular wash basin or else at two opposite sides of such a wash basin.

In yet another embodiment of the invention, the heel areas are different in size, in particular different lengths and / or wide. As a result, both a functional adaptation and an improved visual impression can be achieved. Advantageously, it can be provided that a larger sales area or one with a larger top is formed higher than a smaller heel area.

In particular, in the case of rectangular or rectangular wash basins, it may be provided that even the longest shoulder area is shorter than the side of the basin recess at the edge of which it is provided, or even shorter than the shortest side at the

Sink well. This ensures that the heel areas do not appear as a raised edge of the sink well, but as clearly recognizable and especially smaller and higher heels or pedestals odgl ..

For the shape of the sales areas, there are, similar to the sink itself, essentially no functional restrictions. On the one hand, a heel area can have a substantially elongate and rectangular-like upper side, wherein this rectangular shape can be very sharp and concise, or else essentially soft and rounded. Alternatively, rounded, in particular oblong oval or circular upper sides or at the heel area are possible. This basic shape or the cross section of the heel areas can either be chosen corresponding to that of the washbasin or deliberately exactly opposite.

The education of a sales area can indeed be chosen relatively freely. Of course, as previously described, it is advantageous that the top of a heel region is flat. This increases the usability. Furthermore, it can be advantageously provided that a heel area is substantially uniform, so that in its vertical extent it has an essentially constant cross-section, that is to say is approximately cylindrical. , ,

In a further development of the invention can be provided that a sales area is provided at that area of the edge of the washbasin recess, in a mounting of the washbasin on a wall or, for example on a support frame, to a wall closest to this wall. Such a sales area is very suitable for mounting a sanitary fitting or at least an outlet pipe thereof or the controls for it. A water jet emerging from such an outlet pipe is very easily accessible and at the same time the outlet pipe does not interfere with the accessibility to the basin depression.

In the invention, it may be advantageously provided that at least one shoulder region is not provided on one side of the wash basin depression in its middle or at one end of the side. Advantageously, this is provided towards the end of the page facing or adjacent to an aforementioned wall. This means that such a paragraph area is offset to the rear. In a further development of the invention can be provided that two paragraph areas are provided on the sink, on two adjacent sides, such as a rear side and the left or the right side.

An inventive sink can be advantageously produced in one piece or the heel portions can be integrally formed on the sink, in particular on the peripheral edge. If a washbasin made of ceramic or other castable material, a one-piece production with molding of paragraphs is particularly well possible. If a washbasin is composed of several parts, as is the case with some washbasins made of essentially rectangular plastic or stone slabs, a shoulder area can also be formed as a separate component and attached to the washbasin, in particular adhesively bonded or screwed on. , ,

In a further development of the invention can be advantageously provided that a paragraph area is not solid, but is hollow from below. An overwhelming wall thickness can be a few centimeters or even less depending on the material used. It can be provided particularly advantageously that a preparation is provided on a shoulder area on the upper side, in particular from below, in order to easily produce an opening or a passage opening through the upper side. These can be used to install sanitary fittings or their supply lines. Such a preparation can, for example, provided from below, or as a prefabricated material weakening punched or the like. be. A blow from above on the punched section can be used to break out a center piece to create the passage opening.

In an inventive arrangement of a sanitary fitting with an outlet pipe and at least one separately formed therefrom control element is provided that at least one of these two parts is attached to a prescribed paragraph area on the sink. If the sanitary fitting has a plurality of operating elements, for example corresponding to a three-hole fitting with two swivel handles for hot water and cold water, the rotary handles are advantageously arranged together on a shoulder area and the outlet pipe on the washbasin itself or on another shoulder area.

These and other features will become apparent from the claims and from the description and drawings, wherein the individual features each alone or more in the form of sub-combinations in an embodiment of the invention and in other fields be realized and advantageous and protectable Representations for which protection here , ,

is claimed. The subdivision of the application into subheadings and individual sections does not limit the general validity of the statements made thereunder.

Brief description of the drawings

Embodiments of the invention are shown schematically in the drawings and are explained in more detail below. In the drawings show:

Fig. 1 is a plan view of an inventive

Washbasin with two raised heel areas,

2 is a side view of the washbasin of FIG. 1,

3 to 5 different variations of arrangements of a sanitary tärarmatur on a sink similar to Fig. 1 and

Fig. 6 to 8 further variations of the arrangement with washbasin similar to Fig. 1 on a support table.

Detailed description of the embodiments

In Fig. 1, a washbasin 11 is shown in plan view with a washbasin recess 12, which, as can be seen from Fig. 3, is curved substantially downwards and is also rounded in its course or the course of an edge 14 of the washbasin is adapted with a rim top 15. The shape of the washbasin 11 in plan view is substantially rectangular with rounded sides 17a to 17d and more rounded corners. Basically, however, the shape can also be exact or sharp-edged rectangular or much more rounded up to circular. The edge 14 or the edge top 15 has varying width, but this is generally known from sinks. , ,

According to the invention, the washbasin 11 has a raised heel area 20a on the rear side 17a and a raised heel area 20b on the right-hand side 17c. From the top view in Fig. 1 it can be seen that the raised shoulder portion 20a has an oblong rectangular shape, as well as the lower raised shoulder portion 20b, which is slightly shorter and slightly wider. Both elevated heel regions 20a and 20b have slightly rounded longitudinal edges and strongly rounded corners, which corresponds approximately to the shape of the wash basin 11 or its edge 14. However, this can also be different.

From the side view in Fig. 2 it can be seen that the outer edges of the heel portions 20a and 20b are relatively straight and quite wide, so that they extend, so to speak in a vertical direction substantially cylindrical or with the same cross section. Furthermore, the tops 21a and 21b are flat and continuous. This allows for example very well the use as a storage area in general or for the aforementioned cosmetics and toiletries. Alternatively, at least one of the heel regions could also have 20 depressions. Furthermore, in the tops of the sales areas 20 holes 22 and openings indicated, but which have not been made in the rule. However, these holes 22 may be prepared from the bottom so that here easily, what is clear from the following figures, breakthroughs can be made for arranging sanitary fittings odgl .. However, this is generally already known from ceramic washbasins. Number and arrangement of these holes 22 are arbitrary.

Furthermore, it is advantageous, which is not shown in the figures, if the washbasin 11 is not completely solid in a production example of ceramic, but is shaped as it were and provided from below with recesses and recesses. this applies especially for the edge 14 and the heel areas 20, as they would otherwise be very massive.

It can also be seen from FIGS. 1 and 2 that the heel regions 20a and 20b merge, so to speak, and the lower heel region 20b connects seamlessly to the higher heel region 20a.

In Fig. 3, an inventive arrangement 23 is shown. Here, a sanitary fitting 25 is provided on a sink 11 similar to FIG. 1, the details of which are not shown again for the sake of clarity, having a plurality of parts. The sanitary fitting 25 has an outlet pipe 26 which extends over the washbasin 11 and the washbasin depression 12, as well as a control element 27 arranged on the left and right thereof. This sanitaryware fitting 25 is a so-called three-hole fitting, for which purpose the three bores 22 from FIG are formed as openings to attach the components of the sanitary fitting 25 thereto and therein. It can also be seen from FIG. 3 that the right shoulder region 20b remains unchanged, in particular its bores 22 are not broken, so that the upper side 22 can serve very well as a tray. In an alternative embodiment, the outlet pipe 26 can also be arranged on the far left at the rear heel region 20a. Then his water jet runs more centrally in the central region of the sink recess 12, which greatly simplifies the use or handling. Furthermore, the outlet pipe 26 can also be twisted somewhat towards the center of the basin depression 12.

FIG. 4 shows a variant of an arrangement 23 for FIG. 3. Here are two controls 27 a sanitary fitting 25 at the rear

Section 20a provided, in the left-hand area. One

Outlet pipe 26 is provided on the right shoulder portion 20b and _ _

Although it is located at the edge, it points approximately to the center of the washbasin recess 12.

In a further variant according to FIG. 5, an outlet pipe 26 of a sanitary fitting 25 is arranged on the far left at the rear shoulder area 20a. The second shoulder area 20b is provided on the left side 17a of the washbasin 11 and has the two operating elements 27 of the sanitary fitting 25. It can be seen from this that the two shoulder regions 20 do not necessarily have to be formed directly adjacent to one another or into one another. They can also be provided with a clear distance from each other.

In Fig. 6, another principle possible arrangement 23 of a washbasin 1 1 is shown with a sanitary fitting 25, wherein the sink 11 is seated on a support table 30. The generally illustrated washbasins of FIGS. 1 to 5 may also be provided for wall mounting, in which case the rear side 17a extends at least as far as the heel area 20a or beyond, and is designed as usual for wall mounting.

In Fig. 6, a sink 11 is placed in a conventional manner per se on a conventional support table 30, so it can rest with its downwardly curved washbasin recess 12 on the top or protrude into a recess. The sanitary fitting 25 also has only a single outlet pipe 26, for which here, however, two possible positions are shown in a single figure. On the one hand, the spout 26 may be provided, as it were, on the rear side 17a of the basin 11, outside of it. Alternatively, it may be provided to the left of the left side 17b. The two controls 27 of the sanitary fitting 25 are provided as shown in FIG. 4 in the left area of the rear paragraph 20a. So it is a mixed arrangement of the components of the sanitary fitting 25, so to speak. In Fig. 7, a further variant is shown in which in the arrangement 23, a sanitary fitting 25 with outlet pipe 26 and two controls 27 on the rear side 17a of the sink 11 and are arranged behind it. Alternatively, they may be arranged to the left of the left side 17b of the washbasin 11. At the sales areas 20a and 20b no part of the sanitary fitting is arranged. Advantageously, the tops 22 are again smooth and closed.

FIG. 8 shows a further variant in which an outlet pipe 26 of a sanitary fitting 25 is arranged on the right-hand shoulder region 20b, similar to that shown in FIG. Controls 27 are shown or arranged behind the rear side 17a of the wash basin 11 and / or left next to the left side 17b of the wash basin 11. It can also be seen that possibly more than two controls 27 may be provided according to the preceding FIG., For example, still another control element for a washbasin closure, not shown, alternatively, other facilities such as a firmly embedded soap dispenser odgl ..
