Infinity and under mount convertible sink configuration device and method

Abstract

A convertible sink configuration device and method converts a counter recessed sink into an infinity sink and back again. The method and device enable the covering of a drain and the majority of a counter recessed sink opening area to present a spa like infinity sink and back again with ease. The device may include a sink insert attached to a base support. The base support may attach to a supporting mechanism.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A convertible sink configuration device comprising:
 a base support having a top side and a bottom side;   a supporting mechanism attached to the bottom side of the base support; and   a sink insert attached to the top side of the base support.   
     
     
         2 . The convertible sink configuration device of  claim 1 , wherein the supporting mechanism is adjustable in height. 
     
     
         3 . The convertible sink configuration device of  claim 1 , wherein the base support comprises a base plate. 
     
     
         4 . The convertible sink configuration device of  claim 3 , wherein the supporting mechanism comprises a plurality of legs having a bottom end. 
     
     
         5 . The convertible sink configuration device of  claim 4 , further comprising a plurality of feet attached to the bottom end of the plurality of legs. 
     
     
         6 . A convertible sink configuration device comprising:
 a base plate having a top side and a bottom side;   a plurality of upper legs attached to the bottom side of the base plate, wherein the plurality of upper legs have a hollow interior and an open bottom end; and   a plurality of lower legs adjustably inserted into the hollow interior of the plurality of upper legs, wherein the plurality of lower legs has a bottom end; and   a sink insert attached to the top side of the base plate.   
     
     
         7 . The convertible sink configuration device of  claim 6 , further comprising a plurality of feet attached to the bottom end of the plurality of lower legs. 
     
     
         8 . The convertible sink configuration device of  claim 6 , wherein the plurality of upper legs and plurality of lower legs comprise four of each. 
     
     
         9 . A method for converting a vanity sink from an under mount to an infinity sink configuration comprising:
 adjusting the height of a base support by adjusting the height of a supporting mechanism attached to a bottom side of the base support;   attaching a sink insert to a top side of the base support, wherein the sink insert, the supporting mechanism, and the base support define a convertible sink configuration device;   placing the convertible sink configuration device in contact with a sink; and   allowing for a drain gap between the perimeter of the sink insert and the sink and counter.   
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the base support comprises a base plate. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein the supporting mechanism comprises a plurality of legs.
