  • Patent number: 12584300
    Abstract: Provided kitchen sink systems having interchangeable sink components. A kitchen sink system according to embodiments can include a sink basin comprising an upper rear surface and an upper front surface and a plurality of interchangeable sink components configured to removably couple to the sink basin. Each of interchangeable sink components has a first edge and a second edge, such that the first edge is configured to mate with the upper rear surface of the sink basin and the second edge is configured to mate with the upper front surface of the sink basin. Further, a first interchangeable sink component is configured to removably couple to the sink basin at a first height a second interchangeable sink component is configured to removably couple to the sink basin at a second height, wherein the first height is greater than the second height.

  • Publication number: 20260078034
    Abstract: Provided herein are active oxygen water dispensers embodied in kitchen faucets and side sprayers for dispensing an active oxygen water supply. The faucet body comprises a lock, water outlet, and controller, wherein the lock and controller are disposed on a first portion of the faucet body, and the controller is configured to detect a user requesting active oxygen water to be dispensed from the faucet body. The active oxygen water dispensers comprise one or more valves fluidly connected to the faucet body and configured to allow an active oxygen water supply to be dispensed; wherein, when the lock is in an unlocked position and the controller detects the user input, the one or more valves is actuated to an open position to allow the faucet body to dispense the active oxygen water supply from the water outlet.

  • Patent number: 12492538
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and techniques for cleaning sinks and dishes are provided. In some embodiments, a cleaning system comprises at least one fluid supply, at least one opening in a side wall of a sink basin, and at least one nozzle positioned along an exterior of the sink basin. The nozzle is configured to receive fluid from the fluid supply, and dispense fluid through an opening in a side wall of the sink basin to an interior surface of the sink basin. In some embodiments, the nozzle is configured to dispense fluid to the interior of a sink basin, such that substantially all surfaces of the interior of the sink basin are covered with a thin layer of fluid. In some embodiments, nozzle dispensing angle, duration of a cleaning cycle, flow rate or amount of dispensing fluid, or activation of a cleaning cycle may be manually or automatically controlled.
