Inlay-type sink
An inlay-type sink includes a table board having a hole and an annular insertion groove formed under the table board along a periphery of the hole. A sink includes a sink main body, a first horizontal flange section being annularly disposed along a periphery of the sink main body. A vertical skirt section being formed on an edge of the first horizontal flange section. The first horizontal flange section attaching to lower side of the table board. The vertical skirt section being inserted in the insertion groove of the table board; and retainer member locked under a bottom of the table board to together with the table board tightly clamp the first horizontal flange section. In case water infiltrates into the gaps between the table board and the first horizontal flange section, the water will be stopped by the vertical skirt section from leaking outside.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention is related to an inlay-type sink including a sink main body. A first horizontal flange section is annularly disposed along a periphery of the sink main body. In addition, a vertical skirt section is formed on an edge of the first horizontal flange section. The vertical skirt section is able to stop water from leaking outside.
2. Description of the Prior Art
It is therefore a primary object of the present invention to provide an inlay-type sink including: a table board having a hole and an annular insertion groove formed under the table board along a periphery of the hole; a sink including a sink main body, a first horizontal flange section being annularly disposed along a periphery of the sink main body, a vertical skirt section being formed on an edge of the first horizontal flange section, the first horizontal flange section attaching to lower side of the table board around the hole, the vertical skirt section being correspondingly inserted in the insertion groove of the table board; and retainer member locked under a bottom of the table board by means of screws, whereby the retainer member and the table board together tightly clamp the first horizontal flange section of the sink. When a user washes something in the sink, in case that the water flows downward from the upper face of the table board along the periphery of the hole and infiltrates into the gaps between the table board and the first horizontal flange section of the sink, the water will be stopped by the vertical skirt section from further horizontally advancing. Therefore, the water can be effectively prevented from leaking outside.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide the above inlay-type sink, which further has a second horizontal flange section horizontally protruding from free end of the vertical skirt section to the center of the sink. After the water infiltrates into the gaps between the table board and the first horizontal flange section of the sink, in case that the water further rises along the vertical skirt section, the water will be stopped by the second horizontal flange section from leaking outside.
It is still a further object of the present invention to provide the above inlay-type sink in which due to gravity, the water infiltrating into the gaps between the first horizontal flange section and the table board cannot further rise to pass over the vertical skirt section. Therefore, the water is effectively prevented from leaking out of the sink so as to keep the environment clean and hygienic.
The present invention can be best understood through the following description and accompanying drawings wherein:
Please refer to
As shown in
In the inlay-type sink of the present invention, an adhesive 131 such as silicone can be filled in the insertion groove 13 of the table board 11, in which the vertical skirt section 23 of the sink 20 is inserted. Also, the adhesive 131 can be filled in the insertion groove 13 of the table board 11, in which the vertical skirt section 23 of the sink 20′, 20″ and the second horizontal flange section 25 of the sink 20′ are inserted. This can more effectively prevent the water from leaking out of the table board 11 so as to keep the environment clean and hygienic.
In the inlay-type sink of the present invention, the table board 11 means a table board body of a cabinet, a washing basin or the like. The application range of the table board 11 is not limited.
As shown in
In the inlay-type sink of the present invention, an adhesive such as silicone is filled in the gaps between the first horizontal flange section 22 of the sink 20, 20′, 20″ and the lower side of the table board 11 so as to prevent the water from infiltrating into the gaps.
The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention, not intended to limit the scope thereof. Many modifications of the above embodiments can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
Claims
1. An inlay-type sink comprising:
- (a) a table board having a hole and an annular insertion groove formed under the table board along a periphery of the hole;
- (b) a sink including a sink main body, a sinkhole being formed on a bottom of the sink main body, a first horizontal flange section being annularly disposed along a periphery of the sink main body, a vertical skirt section being formed on an edge of the first horizontal flange section, the first horizontal flange section attaching to lower side of the table board around the hole, the vertical skirt section being correspondingly inserted in the insertion groove of the table board; and
- (c) retainer member locked under a bottom of the table board by means of screws, whereby the retainer member and the table board together tightly clamp the first horizontal flange section of the sink.
2. he inlay-type sink as claimed in claim 1, wherein the sink has a second horizontal flange section horizontally protruding from free end of the vertical skirt section to the center of the sink.
