    Description: The invention relates to a sink, in particular a kitchen sink, according to claim 1.
    According to a further aspect, the invention relates to a (kitchen) workstation according to claim 8, which has a sink and a worktop, which worktop has a cut-out hole in which the sink is installed.
    In addition, the invention relates, according to yet another aspect, to an installation method of a sink in a cut-out hole in a worktop according to claim 15.
    Finally, according to yet another aspect, the invention relates to an installation device for installing a sink in a cut-out hole in a worktop according to claim 12.
    Nowadays, various installation methods are used to install sinks, especially kitchen sinks, in a fitted kitchen.
    In the substructure method, the sink has outward flanges along the side walls, which flanges are attached to the underside of the worktop by means of clips or the like. Accordingly, the sink must be installed under the countertop in the substructure method, which can be tedious and difficult.
    So-called built-in or flat rim sinks have an edge section around the sink, which edge section is intended to be attached to the top of the worktop during installation of the sink. The sink in question also has clamps which - on one side - are attached to this edge section, whereas the other clamp arm of these clamps is brought into contact with the underside of the worktop. The sink is then attached to the worktop using the screws included in the clamps. Again, the essential installation work takes place under the worktop, which can be tedious and difficult. In addition, the terminals can have a rather complicated design.
    So-called flush sinks differ from the above-mentioned built-in or flat-edge sinks in that the edge section of the sink is not on the top of the worktop, but in a flat, circumferential recess around a cut-out hole in a worktop. As a result, the sink does not protrude over the top of the worktop, which may be desirable for design and hygiene reasons. Flush-fitting sinks are attached to the worktop using clamps, essentially like built-in or flat-edge sinks.
    The object of the present invention is to provide a new sink and a corresponding installation method that offer a unique integration of the sink with the worktop and at the same time simplify the installation work. In addition, a cut-out area of the worktop should be protected, which is not easily possible with the common installation methods mentioned above.
    [0010] This is achieved by means of a sink according to claim 1, in particular a kitchen sink, comprising: at least one basin with a bottom and a peripheral side wall; at least one outlet opening in the floor; a circumferential edge which is located on an upper edge of the basin around an outer side thereof, which edge extends outward from the side wall by a measure; a plurality of resilient clamping elements which are attached to the outside of the basin next to the edge, which clamping elements extend outward beyond the dimension of the edge in an uncompressed state, and which clamping elements are designed in such a way that, in a compressed state, they point outwards from the side wall Generate clamping force.
    According to a further aspect of the invention, this is achieved by means of a work station according to claim 8, which work station has a sink, in particular a kitchen sink, which has a sink: at least one basin with a bottom and a peripheral side wall; at least one outlet opening in the floor; a circumferential edge which is located on an upper edge of the basin around an outer side thereof, which edge extends outward from the side wall by a measure; a plurality of resilient clamping elements which are attached to the outside of the basin next to the edge, which clamping elements extend outward beyond the dimension of the edge in an uncompressed state, and which clamping elements are designed in such a way that, in a compressed state, they point outwards from the side wall Generate clamping force; and a worktop, the worktop having a cutout hole in which the sink is installed, the cutout hole defining a cutout side wall that extends substantially perpendicular to an upper and lower side of the work surface, the cutout side wall being opposite to that Edge, and wherein the sink is aligned within the cut-out hole by means of clamping elements which are compressed between the cut-out side wall and the sink.
    According to a further aspect of the invention, this is also achieved by means of an installation method for a sink in a cut-out hole in a worktop according to claim 12, which method includes a) providing a sink with: at least one basin with a bottom and a peripheral side wall; at least one outlet opening in the floor; a circumferential edge, which is located at an upper edge of the basin around an outer side thereof, which edge extends outward from the side wall by a measure; a plurality of resilient clamping elements which are attached to the outside of the basin next to the edge, which clamping elements extend outward in an uncompressed state over the dimension of the edge, and which clamping elements
    CH 712 681 B1 are designed so that in a compressed state they generate a clamping force directed outwards from the side wall; b) Cutting out the hole in the worktop, the dimensions of which are wider than an area framed by the edge, but narrower than an envelope around the clamping elements in the uncompressed state, while at the same time defining a cut-out side wall that is essentially rectangular extends to the top and bottom of the countertop; c) inserting the sink into the cut-out hole so that the cut-out side wall is located opposite the edge, the sink being aligned within the cut-out hole by means of the clamping elements which are compressed between the cut-out side wall and the sink.
    According to yet another aspect of the present invention, this is achieved by means of an installation device for installing a sink in a cut-out hole in a worktop according to claim 18, which sink has at least one basin with a bottom and a circumferential side wall; with at least one outlet opening in the floor; a circumferential edge is at an upper edge of the basin around an outside thereof; wherein the installation device has at least one template-like device for attachment to an upper side of the edge, which extends coplanar with the upper side of the edge and at the same time, at least locally, extends outwards from the sink over the edge, and a counterpart to this template-like device, to detachably attach the template-like device to the sink.
    Due to their unique edge design, common installation rules can be broken with the sink according to the present invention. The edge preferably extends over the cut-out area of the worktop and thereby potentially protects it, and an upper edge of the edge is coplanar with the top of the worktop in the installed state.
    In this way, a side wall of the cut-out hole of the worktop can be protected and does not have to be polished or otherwise treated before the sink is installed, as a result of which the installation costs can be significantly reduced.
    Preferably the sink rim floats in the cut-out hole of the worktop, i.e. it does not come into contact with a side wall of the cut hole. A suitable gap can be sealed using a suitable sealant, e.g. a silicone sealant.
    The installation of the sink according to the present invention can be carried out by pushing the sink from above the worktop into the cut-out hole of the worktop, preferably using a suitable installation device according to one aspect of the present invention.
    The sink can be held in its final position within the cut-out hole of the worktop with the aid of resilient clamping elements (so-called quick fastening clamps) attached to the outside of the basin in combination with the adhesive effect of the sealant (e.g. silicone).
    As a final result, the installed sink can have a flush edge with respect to the orientation to the top of the countertop, while the required installation work has been significantly reduced.
    Due to the installation method mentioned, the edge of the sink according to the present invention can be much thinner than commercially available, e.g. 4 mm compared to 15 to 30 mm, which can be considered advantageous for aesthetic reasons. In a preferred embodiment of the sink according to the present invention, a value for the extent to which the sink edge extends outward from the side wall is between 2.5 mm and 6 mm, preferably between 2.5 mm and 5 mm, and at most preferably around 4 mm.
    In a further embodiment of the sink according to the present invention, the edge can consist of a solid material or be formed by bending the material used for the manufacture of the sink of the side wall outwards and downwards.
    In yet another embodiment of the sink according to the present invention, the clamping elements can be compressed inwards towards the side wall in such a way that they do not extend outwards beyond the dimension of the edge. In this way, the sink can be easily installed in a cut-out hole in a worktop from above the worktop.
    According to yet another embodiment of the sink according to the present invention, a clamping force caused by the clamping elements in the compressed state per unit length of the side wall is distributed substantially uniformly around the sink, preferably by adjusting a number of the clamping elements and / or by a mutual one Distance between individual clamping elements is adjusted and / or by adjusting the clamping force of individual clamping elements. In this way, the sink can easily align itself when inserted into the cut-out hole in the worktop using the clamping elements. This can help to achieve a uniform gap around the sink, which can be considered advantageous in terms of sealing the gap and for aesthetic reasons.
    According to a further embodiment of the sink according to the present invention, individual clamping elements have at least one spring element with a hook-shaped cross section, wherein in the uncompressed state of the clamping elements a first leg extends essentially parallel to the side wall and preferably from the edge downwards, one extending second leg extends outward from the first leg and from the side wall, and wherein
    CH 712 681 B1 a third leg extends from the second leg and from the side wall to the outside. This can also help to simplify the installation of the sink over the worktop, while at the same time ensuring a reliable clamping force to keep the sink inside the cut-out hole of the worktop during installation before the effect of an additional adhesive material to fix the sink in cut out hole in the worktop.
    In order to increase the clamping effect even further, according to a preferred further embodiment of the sink according to the present invention, a free end piece of the third leg is inclined further outwards with respect to the side wall than the remaining part of the third leg.
    For easy installation and to achieve an aesthetic result, the side wall of the sink can have a substantially flat design. In addition, the sink as such can have an overall rectangular shape, with — in plan view — preferably rounded corners.
    In a further preferred embodiment of the work station according to the present invention, a distance between the edge and the side wall of the cut-out hole of the worktop around the sink can be substantially uniform in order to achieve an aesthetically superior effect. This has already been mentioned above and can be achieved by adjusting the clamping force per unit length of the side wall of the sink, as described in detail above.
    In yet another embodiment of the workplace according to the present invention, there is an adhesion-promoting sealing joint around the edge between the sink and the cut-out side wall, preferably a silicone joint or the like. The joint not only fills the gap between the floating edge and the cut-out side wall, but also keeps the sink permanently in position in the cut-out hole in the worktop, in combination with a clamping effect of the clamping elements. Accordingly, the main effect of the clamping elements can be to align and hold the sink during installation until the adhesive and sealant has set (or has hardened).
    According to yet another embodiment of the work station according to the present invention, an upper side or upper edge of the edge can be substantially coplanar with the upper side of the worktop and thus an aesthetically and hygienically superior effect can be achieved.
    As previously stated, an embodiment of the inventive method can include that the sink is inserted from above the worktop into the cut-out hole in the worktop, starting with a lower part of the sink, which lower part is opposite the edge. This can make installing the sink considerably easier, especially when compared to common substructure methods.
    In yet another embodiment of the invention, the method may include inserting the sink into the cut-out hole in the worktop and lowering it until an upper surface of the rim is substantially coplanar with the upper surface of the worktop.
    Before process step c), according to another, further embodiment of the inventive method, a bead of adhesive and sealing material, preferably of silicone or the like, is applied around the edge, so that an adhesion-promoting joint is round during process step c) around the edge between the sink and the cutout side wall, preferably a silicone joint or the like. The gap between the edge of the sink and the cut-out side wall can be closed by means of the joint, while the latter is simultaneously protected from moisture or the like. In addition, the adhesive and sealing material will hold the sink in place after it has hardened or set.
    In a still further embodiment of the inventive method, the sink can be equipped with a removable installation device before process step c), which installation device has at least one template-like device which is attached to an upper side of the sink edge and is essentially coplanar with the upper side of the edge as it extends, at least locally, away from the sink over the edge. Process step c) can then be carried out until the template-like device comes into contact with the top of the worktop. The installation device can then be removed. As a result, the embodiment of the inventive method described above enables the sink to be installed in a simple and reliable manner, which is equivalent to the installation of a flush-mounted sink.
    In order to protect the top of the worktop in particular from the sealing material, in a further embodiment of the inventive method before step c), the top of the worktop can be provided with a removable protective cover near the outline or contour of the cut-out hole, in particular with a Adhesive tape, which protective cover can be removed after performing step c).
    According to one embodiment of the installation device according to the present invention, the counterpart to the template-like device must be attached to the outlet opening of the sink outside the sink. The counterpart can be designed accordingly.
    CH 712 681 B1 [0036] In a further embodiment of the inventive installation device, the counterpart can preferably be designed as a plate-shaped element that is larger in area than the clear opening of the outlet opening. In this way, the counterpart can be attached over the outlet opening without slipping through it.
    In a further embodiment of the device according to the present invention, the device includes a connecting means for releasably connecting the template-like device to the counterpart. The connecting means is preferably designed as a screw means, so that the template-like device can be detachably connected to the counterpart without the use of special tools or the like.
    In order to connect the template-like device detachably to the counterpart, according to a further embodiment, the installation device can have corresponding openings in the template-like device and in the counterpart in order to push the connecting means through.
    If the connecting means is designed as a screw means, in another embodiment of the device at least the opening in the counterpart can be designed as a threaded hole. This makes it even easier to detachably connect the template-like device to the counterpart.
    [0040] According to yet another embodiment of the device according to the invention, the connecting means can have a stop means which defines a maximum distance between the template-like device and the counterpart, so that the device can be securely and reliably attached to the sink.
    Further features and advantages of the present invention will now be described in connection with exemplary embodiments with reference to the figures.

    In Fig. 1, the sink according to the present invention is identified by reference number 1. The sink 1 can - without limitation - be designed as a kitchen sink. It has a basin 2 with a bottom 3 and a peripheral side wall 4. At least one outlet opening, which is not visible in FIG. 1, is located in the bottom 3 (cf. FIG. 2b). A peripheral edge 5 is located on an upper edge of the basin 2 around an outer side thereof, which can be seen from FIG. 1. The edge 5 extends a dimension (cf. e.g. Fig. 6) from the side wall 4 to the outside. In addition, the sink 1 has a plurality of resilient clamping elements 6, which are attached to the outside of the basin 2 next to the edge 5. In Fig. 1, the clamping elements 6 are shown in the uncompressed state, in which they extend outward beyond the dimension of the edge 5 (further details can be found in Figs. 5 and 6). The clamping elements 6 are designed in a compressed state to generate a clamping force directed outwards from the side wall 4 in order to hold the sink in a corresponding cut-out hole in the worktop, which is explained in more detail below.
    6, the above-mentioned dimension by which the edge 5 extends outwards from the side wall 4 is identified by the reference symbol E. 6 that the clamping element 6 extends outward beyond the dimension E of the edge 5 in the uncompressed state. In a preferred embodiment, the value of the dimension E is between 2.5 mm and 6 mm, preferably between 2.5 mm and 5 mm, if possible around 4 mm.
    As can also be seen in FIG. 6, the clamping elements 6 can have at least one spring element with a hook-shaped cross-section, wherein in the uncompressed state of the clamping elements 6, as shown in FIG. 6, a first leg 6a is essentially parallel to Side wall 4 and preferably extends downward from the edge 5, a second leg 6b extends outward from the first leg 6a and from the side wall 4, and
    CH 712 681 B1, a third leg 6c extends outward from the second leg 6b and from the side wall 4. A free end of the third leg 6c is inclined outwards from the side wall 4, which is shown at reference number 6d.
    As can be seen from FIG. 6, the edge 5 consists of a solid material in order to achieve an increased mechanical strength. Alternatively, it could be formed by bending the sidewall 4 material outward and downward.
    6 that the clamping elements 6 can be compressed inwards towards the side wall 4 in such a way that they do not extend outwards beyond the dimension E of the edge 5. This enables the sink 1 to be easily installed from above the worktop, which is explained in detail below.
    1, it can be seen that a clamping force caused by the clamping elements 6 in the compressed state per unit length of the side wall 4 is essentially evenly distributed around the sink by adjusting the number of clamping elements 6. According to the embodiment in FIG. 1, all clamping elements are essentially identical; however, more clamping elements have been attached along the longer side walls of the rectangular sink 1, thus allowing the sink 1 to be aligned within the cut-out hole in the worktop. In this connection, the number of clamping elements 6 on opposite side walls 4 of the sink 1 should be identical, which cannot be seen in FIG. 1.
    In addition, according to FIG. 1, a bead 8 of adhesive and sealing material is applied around the edge 5 by means of a suitable auxiliary 7, which sealing material can be a silicone material, without limitation. The effect of the caterpillar 8 is explained below. The bead 8 is preferably applied around the entire area of the edge 5 around the sink 1, preferably with a bead diameter of approximately 7 mm.
    2a to 2d show the sink 1 of FIG. 1 (without caterpillar 8) and its interaction with a special installation device, which is identified by reference number 9. The installation device 9 has a template-like device 9a and a so-called counterpart to the template-like device or simply counterpart 9b. The template-like device is best seen in FIGS. 2a and 2c, while the counterpart 9b is best seen in FIGS. 2b and 2d. The template-like device 9a and its counterpart 9b can be made, for example, without limitation, from a plastic or wood composite material. The template-like device 9a has a flat, plate-shaped design with an overall rectangular shape with circumferential, protruding formations 9c and handle openings 9d, which are located near an edge section of the template-like device 9a. In addition, it has two connection openings 9e, which are located approximately in the middle of the template-like device 9a. As can be seen from FIG. 2c, the template-like device 9a can be attached to the top of the sink 1, so that it rests on an upper edge or a top side of the edge, while the projections 9c extend outward from the sink 1 with respect to the edge protrude. The position of each shape 9c preferably corresponds to the position of a clamping element 6.
    As can be seen from FIG. 2b, the square counterpart 9b is attached above an outlet opening 3a of the sink base 3. In this connection, the overall dimension of the counterpart 9b is designed in such a way that it completely covers the outlet opening 3a without slipping. The sink 1 preferably has an edge contour 3b around the opening 3b, which contour 3b corresponds to a shape of the counterpart 9b in a form-fitting manner.
    As can be seen from FIG. 2b, the counterpart 9b has a central opening 9f, which can be designed as a threaded hole.
    2c illustrates how a screwing means (connecting means) 10 can be pushed through the opening 9e in order to connect the template-like device 9a and the counterpart 9b to one another and in connection with the sink 1 (cf. FIG. 2d). For this purpose, the screwing means 10 is screwed into the threaded bore 9f of the counterpart 9b. In this way, the template-like device 9a and the counterpart 9b are securely and removably attached to the sink 1, as shown in FIG. 2d. The sink 1 can then be moved simply by engaging in the handle openings 9d.
    Fig. 3 shows a worktop 11 with a substantially rectangular cut-out hole 11a, which cut-out hole 11a is intended to be equipped with a sink 1, as above in connection with Figs. 1 and 2a to 2d and with Fig 6 described. For this purpose, the hole 11a is cut out so that it is wider in its dimensions than an area framed by the edge, but narrower than an envelope around the clamping elements in their uncompressed state, while at the same time defining a cutout side wall 11b, which extends essentially at right angles to the top and bottom of the worktop. The worktop 11 can be made of wood, metal, stone or another suitable (composite) material. It should be noted that the side wall 11b of the cut hole 11a does not need to be polished or otherwise treated when installing the sink 1 as described above when using an installation method according to the present invention.
    4, the worktop 11 was provided near the outline of the cut hole 11a with a removable protective cover 11c in the form of strips of a suitable adhesive material.
    5, the sink 1 is inserted with the aid of the installation device 9 and with a caterpillar 8 (not shown; see FIG. 1) into the cut-out hole (arrow D) (see FIGS. 3, 4). the worktop 11 used. In this way, as shown in FIG. 6, the clamping elements 6 are compressed by contact with the cutout side wall 11b
    CH 712 681 B1 miert, whereby a force is generated with which the sink 1 is held in the cut hole 11 a. According to the method, the sink 1 is pushed down D until the formations 9c of the template-like device 9a come into contact with the top 11d of the worktop 11. Then the edge 5 of the sink 1 is located inside the cut-out hole 11a opposite the side wall 11b, and the sealing material of the bead 8 is located between the side wall 11b and the edge 5 to seal an intermediate gap and the sink after the adhesive and Has sealed sealing material or has hardened to hold permanently, while also protecting the side wall 11b.
    Fig. 7a shows the installation state after the contact between the stencil-like device 9a and the worktop 11. An upper or upper edge (not shown) of the sink rim is now coplanar with the top 11d of the worktop.
    7b, the connecting means or the screw 10 is then removed from the installation device 9, as a result of which the template-like device 9a and the counterpart 9b are separated from one another. As can be seen in FIG. 7b (cf. also FIGS. 5 and 2c), the connecting means 10 has a stop means 10a which comes into contact with the template-like device 9a (cf. FIG. 7a) in order to achieve a maximum Set the distance between the template-like device 9a and the counterpart 9b.
    7c, the installation device 9 is then completely removed from the sink 1 on the worktop 11.
    Finally, in the method step illustrated in FIG. 7d, the protective cover 11c is removed and thus a finished work station is created in accordance with one aspect of the present invention. In this context, it should be checked whether the gap between the sink and the worktop has been properly filled with the sealing material. If not, corrections can still be made. The clamps will hold the sink in place until the sealant has dried (hardened or set).
    1, the sealing material (silicone) can be applied around the sink edge with a bead diameter of about 7 mm.
    With regard to FIGS. 2a to 2d, the screwing means 10 can be designed with an M8 thread. The same applies to the threaded bore 9f of the counterpart 9b.
    Preferably, the dimensions of the cut-out hole 10a according to FIGS. 3 and 4 correspond to a length and width of the sink of +2 mm. However, all concrete dimensions also depend on the respective dimensions of the clamping elements 6 and the edge 5 (dimension E) according to FIG. 6.
    Accordingly, the protective cover 11c according to FIG. 4 can be attached - without limitation - with a respective width of 20 to 30 mm.
