Built-under sinks

Abstract

In order to produce a built-under sink for mounting on a lower surface of a work top and which comprises a mounting flange that rests against the work top in the installed state of the built-under sink such that it is mountable on the work top in a secure and space-saving manner, it is proposed that the mounting flange be provided with at least one fastener recess for the passage of at least one mechanical fastener through the mounting flange.

1 . A built-under sink for mounting on a lower surface of a work top comprising a mounting flange which rests against the work top in the installed state of the built-under sink, wherein the mounting flange is provided with at least one fastener recess for the passage of a mechanical fastener through the mounting flange.  
   
   
       2 . A built-under sink in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein the mounting flange is provided with a plurality of fastener recesses.  
   
   
       3 . A built-under sink in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the fastener recesses is a through-hole which is spaced from an outer edge of the built-under sink.  
   
   
       4 . A built-under sink in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the fastener recesses opens into an outer edge of the built-under sink.  
   
   
       5 . A built-under sink in accordance with  claim 4 , wherein at least one of the fastener recesses is a through-slot.  
   
   
       6 . A combination of a built-under sink in accordance with  claim 1  and at least one mechanical fastener which, in the installed state of the built-under sink, extends through a fastener recess in the built-under sink.  
   
   
       7 . A combination in accordance with  claim 6 , wherein the mechanical fastener is threaded.  
   
   
       8 . A combination in accordance with  claim 7 , wherein the mechanical fastener is a fixing screw.  
   
   
       9 . A combination in accordance with  claim 8 , wherein the mechanical fastener is a plate screw.  
   
   
       10 . A combination in accordance with  claim 6 , wherein the combination comprises at least one backing element via which, in the installed state of the built-under sink, the at least one mechanical fastener bears against the mounting flange of the built-under sink.  
   
   
       11 . A combination in accordance with  claim 10 , wherein the backing element is a bedplate or a washer.  
   
   
       12 . A combination in accordance with  claim 6 , wherein the combination comprises at least one locking nut into which, in the installed state of the built-under sink, the at least one mechanical fastener is screwed.  
   
   
       13 . A combination of a work top, a built-under sink for mounting on a lower surface of the work top in accordance with  claim 1  and at least one mechanical fastener which, in the installed state of the built-under sink, extends through a fastener recess in the built-under sink.  
   
   
       14 . A combination in accordance with  claim 13 , wherein the work top comprises at least one blind hole which, in the installed state of the built-under sink, at least partially accommodates the mechanical fastener.  
   
   
       15 . A combination in accordance with  claim 13 , wherein a sealing element, in particular a coating comprising a sealing compound, preferably a silicone sealing compound, is arranged between the work top and the mounting flange of the built-under sink.
