  • Lavatory
    Patent number: 4765002
    Abstract: An illustrative embodiment of the invention provides a peripheral flange generally perpendicular to the plane of the lavatory basin. The flange has a generally downwardly, inwardly sloping surface to enable the splash water to flow into the basin within the lavatory. As the flange sweeps around the periphery of the lavatory it develops into a massive spout support. The spout support enables the spout to direct water into the basin without causing the spout to extend across the basin surface. The support also has a protruding portion that establishes a reentrant basin surface in which the overflow drain is concealed from view when the lavatory is installed.
