Claim 1
Independent Claim 141 words
A kitchen package adapted for movable mounting within a wall comprising a group of selected appliances and conveniences assembled into a unit, means for rotating said unit about a vertical axis to locate selected ones of said appliances and conveniences in predetermined position with respect to said wall, one of said conveniences comprising a water-utilizing device having a water inlet and a drain, and coupling means comprising a first fixed member mounted on said support for connection to external drainage means and source of water, and a second member mounted on said unit for rotation therewith and connected in rotatable water-tight relation to said first member, said second member being connected to said drain and water inlet of said device, said coupling members having therein separate cooperating compartment means for conveying fluids to said water inlet and separately from said drain.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 141 words
A kitchen package adapted for movable mounting within a wall comprising a group of selected appliances and conveniences assembled into a unit, means for rotating said unit about a vertical axis to locate selected ones of said appliances and conveniences in predetermined position with respect to said wall, one of said conveniences comprising a water-utilizing device having a water inlet and a drain, and coupling means comprising a first fixed member mounted on said support for connection to external drainage means and source of water, and a second member mounted on said unit for rotation therewith and connected in rotatable water-tight relation to said first member, said second member being connected to said drain and water inlet of said device, said coupling members having therein separate cooperating compartment means for conveying fluids to said water inlet and separately from said drain.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 203 words
A kitchen package adapted for mounting within an opening in a wall and for rotation upon a base within said opening about a vertical axis, comprising spaced upper and lower groups of selected appliances and conveniences arranged in circular fashion around said axis, said groups being of substantially equal outside diametric size, a pedestal section of smaller diametric size interconnecting said groups and forming a unit therewith, said axis extending through said pedestal, means for rotating said unit about said axis on said base, water control elements located in said pedestal section for cooperative use with at least one of said conveniences, at least one of said conveniences comprising a drain and coupling means in said base comprising a first fixed member mounted on said base for connection to external drainage means and source of water, and a second member mounted on the unit for rotation therewith and connected in rotatable water-tight relation to said first member, said second member being connected to said drain of the device and to said water control elements in said pedestal section, said coupling members having separate cooperating compartment means therein for conveying water to said water control elements and for separately conveying fluids from said drain.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 203 words
A kitchen package adapted for mounting within an opening in a wall and for rotation upon a base within said opening about a vertical axis, comprising spaced upper and lower groups of selected appliances and conveniences arranged in circular fashion around said axis, said groups being of substantially equal outside diametric size, a pedestal section of smaller diametric size interconnecting said groups and forming a unit therewith, said axis extending through said pedestal, means for rotating said unit about said axis on said base, water control elements located in said pedestal section for cooperative use with at least one of said conveniences, at least one of said conveniences comprising a drain and coupling means in said base comprising a first fixed member mounted on said base for connection to external drainage means and source of water, and a second member mounted on the unit for rotation therewith and connected in rotatable water-tight relation to said first member, said second member being connected to said drain of the device and to said water control elements in said pedestal section, said coupling members having separate cooperating compartment means therein for conveying water to said water control elements and for separately conveying fluids from said drain.
