Abstract: The subject matter of the application is a sink accessory (e.g. a cutting board) that can be placed on a sink and a sink that is provided with a sink accessory of this type. Hereby, the periphery of the sink accessory comprises two differently spaced bearing surfaces which lie at different heights with respect to the surface of the sink accessory. In this way it is possible for one and the same sink accessory to be selectively placed on different supporting surfaces of the same sink, on the supporting surfaces of different sinks or on the supporting surface of another sink accessory (e.g. a strainer). In dependence on the geometry thereby, only the first bearing surface is in contact with the sink in a first position, whereas the second bearing surface is used as a contact area in the second position.

Abstract: In order to provide a retaining device for retaining a built-in appliance, in particular a built-in sink unit, on a worktop, comprising at least one appliance-side retaining element, at least one worktop-side retaining element and at least one tensioning element for bracing the worktop-side retaining element and the appliance-side retaining element relative to one another, wherein the tensioning element comprises a threaded portion, a retaining portion and a reduced-diameter portion, which is disposed between the threaded portion and the retaining portion and the diameter of which is smaller than the diameter of the retaining portion, and wherein the appliance-side retaining element has at least one through-opening, through which in the fitted state of the retaining device the reduced-diameter portion of the tensioning element extends, that has increased stability, it is proposed that the retaining portion of the tensioning element and/or the threaded portion of the tensioning element in the fitted state of t
