Sink for wash-basins, drainbowls and the like

Claim 2

In a sink intended to be used for wash-basins, drainbowls and the like including a trough-shaped vessel having a drainage opening located at its lowest part, a splash-guard detachable fitted at the upper part of the sink and extending over substantially the entire opening thereof, the improvement comprising said splash-guard being formed by a closed meshed lattice having thin parallel intermediate walls forming the lattice openings said intermediate walls having an extension larger than or at least equal to the largest cross-sectional measure of said lattice openings in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the upper surface of the sink and the lattice being substantially as deep as the smallest depth of the vessel.

Claim 3

The improvement as claimed in claim 1, wherein the lattice is surrounded and supported by a frame.

Claim 4

The improvement as claimed in claim 1, wherein the vessel and/or the lattice consists of a material which can be sterilized.

Claim 5

In a sink intended to be used for wash-basins, drainbowls and the like comprising a trough-shaped vessel, a drainage opening provided in the bottom thereof, a drain connecting piece fitted to said drainage opening and extending outside the vessel, said drain connecting piece being adapted sealingly and detachably to fit into a connecting socket of a drain tap provided at a work bench where the sink is intended to be placed in an aperture, a lattice forming a splash-guard being provided at the upper part of the vessel, the improvement comprising said lattice being formed with a plurality of thin parallel intermediate walls defining a closed mesh lattice having a number of lattice openings, the openings of said lattice having a largest cross-sectional measure which is at most equal to the depth of the lattice openings, the lattice further being substantially as deep as the smallest depth of the vessel, a frame surrounding and supporting the lattice on the vessel, and a handle provided at the vessel for allowing this to be easily removed from the said aperture, the vessel and/or the lattice being made of a material which can be made sterile.

Claim 6

In a sink intended to be used for wash-basins, drainbowls and the like comprising a trough-shaped vessel, a drainage opening provided in the bottom thereof, a drain connecting piece fitted to said drainage opening and extending outside the vessel, said drain connecting piece being adapted sealingly and detachably to fit into a connecting socket of a drain tap provided at a work bench where the sink is intended to be placed in an aperture, a lattice forming a splash-guard being provided at the upper part of the vessel, the improvement comprising said lattice being formed with a plurality of thin parallel intermediate walls defining a closed mesh lattice having a number of lattice openings, the openings of said lattice having a largest cross-sectional measure which is at most equal to the depth of the lattice openings, the lattice further being substantially as deep as the smallest depth of the vessel, a frame surrounding and supporting the lattice on the vessel, and a handle provided at the vessel for allowing this to be easily removed from the said aperture, the vessel and/or the lattice being made of a material which can be made sterile.
