  • Publication number: 20240011269
    Abstract: A lighted sink includes a sink with a sink lighting assembly coupled to an upper end of the sink. The lighting assembly projects light downward and into the sink, which at the same time, protects the light emitting element from moisture and contaminants through a combination of protective walls that physically house the light emitting element and leave at least one side open to a transparent window that allows light to broadcast to and illuminate an interior of the sink.

  • Patent number: 11313115
    Abstract: A farmhouse sink system with a rimless metallic sink that includes a farmhouse sink frame having a sidewall with a top surface for mounting underneath a lower surface of a countertop, defining a sink frame access opening therethrough, and an upper lip extending laterally inward toward the sink frame access opening on at least two opposing sides, of the sidewall of the farmhouse sink frame. A metallic sink is disposed within the sink frame access opening, that defines at least one bowl, and has a mounting flange member laterally extending outwardly from an outer sidewall surface of the sidewall of the metallic sink, and a rimless upper edge disposed along and around the sidewall of the metallic sink and superimposed by the upper lip of the farmhouse sink frame. Further, a sink mounting frame assembly is utilized to support the metallic sink on a support surface.

  • Patent number: 10844582
    Abstract: A farmhouse sink system with a rimless stainless steel sink comprises a cabinet assembly having a countertop mounted thereon. A farmhouse sink frame has a sink mounting aperture dimensioned to receive a rimless upper edge of the sink therein, such that the rimless upper edge of the stainless steel sink is coplanar with the top of the frame. A mounting assembly is attached to a portion of the stainless steel sink and is utilized to attach the stainless steel sink to a portion of the farmhouse sink frame. An upper interface is formed between the rimless upper edge of the stainless steel sink and the top surface of the farmhouse sink frame, and an upper seal is disposed therein. The farmhouse sink frame is mounted between the cabinet assembly and the countertop such that the stainless steel sink is operatively disposed below a sink access opening through the countertop.
