Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Einbauspüle mit einer Abfallöffnung, einer unter der Einbauspüle angeordneten und von dieser gehaltenen Tragvorrichtung für einen unter der Abfallöffnung anbringbaren Abfallbehälter sowie einem sich von der Spülenunterseite nach unten erstreckenden Abfallschacht, welcher die Abfallöffnung umfasst.The invention relates to a built-in sink with a waste opening, a support device arranged under and held by the built-in sink for a waste container which can be attached under the waste opening, and a waste shaft which extends downward from the underside of the sink and which comprises the waste opening.

Die DE-A-3313366 zeigt eine derartige Einbauspüle, bei der der Abfallschacht die Tragvorrichtung bildet und der Abfall-behälter die Gestalt eines Müllbeutels hat, welcher auswechselbar am unteren Ende des Abfallschachts anbringbar ist. Abgesehen davon, daß eine solche Konstruktion voraussetzt, daß im Haushalt stets derartige Müllbeutel auf Vorrat gehalten werden, erfordert ein Austausch eines vollen Müllbeutels ein mühsames Manipulieren unter der Spüle, und das Lösen der Verbindung zwischen Abfallschacht und Müllbeutel birgt das Risiko in sich, daß der gefüllte Müllbeutel herabfällt und sich ein Teil des Mülls in den Unterbauschrank entleert, in dessen Abdeckplatte die Einbauspüle eingebaut ist.DE-A-3313366 shows such a built-in sink, in which the waste shaft forms the carrying device and the waste container has the shape of a waste bag, which can be interchangeably attached to the lower end of the waste shaft. Apart from the fact that such a construction presupposes that such garbage bags are always kept in stock in the household, replacing a full garbage bag requires laborious manipulation under the sink, and loosening the connection between the waste shaft and the garbage bag carries the risk that the Filled garbage bags fall and part of the garbage is emptied into the base cabinet, in the cover plate of which the built-in sink is installed.

Desweiteren ist aus der DE-A-2533583 eine Spüle bekannt, welche neben einem grossen Spülbecken und vor einem kleinen Becken eine Abfallöffnung aufweist, unter der sich ein Abfallbehälter anordnen lässt. Bei einer ersten Ausführungsform dieser bekannten Konstruktion hat der Abfallbehälter die Form eines Abfalleimers, welcher an der Innenseite einer Tür eines die Spüle tragenden Unterbauschranks aufgehängt ist, was zwei Nachteile mit sich bringt: Zum einen ist man in diesem Fall mit der Anordnung der Abfallöffnung in der Spüle nicht frei und zum anderen befindet sich der Abfalleimer in einem erheblichen Abstand unterhalb der Abfallöffnung (schon wegen der Tiefe des unmittelbar an den hinteren Rand der Abfallöffnung angrenzenden kleinen Beckens der bekannten Spüle), so daß schräg in die Abfallöffnung eingeworfener Abfall und Spritzwasser und dergleichen am Abfalleimer vorbei auf den Boden des Unterbauschranks gelangen und/oder die Innenseite der Unterbauschrank-Tür und der Unterbauschrank-Wände verschmutzen können. Bei einer anderen Ausführungsform der Konstruktion nach der DE-A-2533583 (Seite 4, Zeilen 15 bis 20) ist ein Abfallbehälter oder Müllbeutel unter der Abfallöffnung unmittelbar an der Unterseite der Spüle abnehmbar befestigt, so daß diese Ausführungsform dieselben Nachteile aufweist, welche vorstehend für die Konstruktion nach der DE-A-3313366 aufgeführt wurden.Furthermore, from DE-A-2533583 a sink is known which, in addition to a large sink and in front of a small sink, has a waste opening under which a waste container can be arranged. In a first embodiment of this known construction, the waste container has the shape of a waste bin, which is on the inside a door of an under-counter cabinet carrying the sink is suspended, which has two disadvantages: on the one hand, the arrangement of the waste opening in the sink is not free and on the other hand the waste bin is at a considerable distance below the waste opening (yes because of the depth of the small basin of the known sink directly adjacent to the rear edge of the waste opening), so that waste and splashed water and the like thrown into the waste opening pass the waste bin onto the floor of the base cabinet and / or the inside of the base cabinet door and the undercabinet walls can get dirty. In another embodiment of the construction according to DE-A-2533583 (page 4, lines 15 to 20), a waste container or garbage bag is detachably fastened under the waste opening directly on the underside of the sink, so that this embodiment has the same disadvantages as above for the construction according to DE-A-3313366 were listed.

Bei einer weiteren bekannten Spüle (DE-C-3015952) ist unter einer Abfallöffnung ein schalenförmiger Abfallbehälter angeordnet, welcher normalerweise mit seinem oberen Rand gegen die Unterseite der Spüle anliegt und dabei die Abfallöffnung umfasst. Durch eine Betätigungsvorrichtung lässt sich diese Schale nach unten absenken und um eine horizontale Achse um 180° schwenken, wodurch die Schale in einen Abfalleimer entleert wird, der sich in gehörigem Abstand unterhalb der Spüle befindet und von einer an der Unterseite der Spüle befestigten Tragvorrichtung gehalten wird. Diese Tragvorrichtung besitzt an ihrem unteren Ende horizontale Führungsschienen, in denen der Abfalleimer mit nach aussen umgebogenen Randbereichen verschiebbar geführt ist, so daß man ihn durch Herausziehen aus diesen Führungsschienen von der Tragvorrichtung abnehmen kann.In a further known sink (DE-C-3015952) a bowl-shaped waste container is arranged under a waste opening, which normally rests with its upper edge against the underside of the sink and thereby encompasses the waste opening. This bowl can be lowered by an actuating device and swiveled by 180 ° about a horizontal axis, whereby the bowl is emptied into a waste bin, which is located at a suitable distance below the sink and is held by a carrying device attached to the underside of the sink . This carrying device has at its lower end horizontal guide rails, in which the waste bin is displaceably guided with edge regions bent outwards, so that it can be removed from the carrier device by pulling it out of these guide rails.

Abgesehen davon, daß diese bekannte Konstruktion wegen der Betätigungsvorrichtung für die Abfallschale relativ aufwendig ist und viel Platz benötigt, besteht wegen des Schwenkens der Abfallschale um 180° und des großen Abstands des Abfalleimers von der Abfallöffnung die Gefahr, daß beim Entleeren der Abfallschale die Betätigungsvorrichtung, die Abfalleimer-Tragvorrichtung und Teile des die Spüle tragenden Unterbauschranks verschmutzt werden. Die Betätigungsvorrichtung und die Abfalleimer-Tragvorrichtung lassen sich dann ausserordentlich schlecht reinigen, da eine solche Reinigung durch die nicht besonders große Abfallöffnung hindurch erfolgen müsste.In addition to the fact that this known construction is relatively complex and takes up a lot of space because of the actuating device for the waste tray, there is the risk that when the waste tray is emptied, the actuating device when the waste tray is emptied due to the pivoting of the waste tray by 180 ° and the large distance of the waste bin. the waste bin carrying device and parts of the undercounter cabinet carrying the sink become dirty. The actuating device and the waste bin carrying device are then extremely difficult to clean, since such cleaning would have to take place through the not particularly large waste opening.

Ähnliches gilt für die aus der US-A-1 574 273 bekanntgewordene Konstruktion, welche eine auf einem Unterbauschrank angeordnete Abdeck- oder Arbeitsplatte betrifft, in die ein Spülbecken eingeformt ist, neben dem sich eine Abfallöffnung befindet. Auf dem Boden des Unterbauschranks steht ein Abfalleimer-Gehäuse, welches oben einen schachtartigen Hals besitzt, der von unten gegen die das Spülbecken und die Abfallöffnung bildende Abdeckplatte anliegt und die Abfallöffnung umgibt. Auf dem Boden dieses Abfalleimer-Gehäuses steht unter der Abfallöffnung und in gehörigem Abstand von dieser ein Abfalleimer, und in die Abfallöffnung ist ein aus dieser nach oben herausnehmbarer, schachtartiger Abfallbehälter eingesetzt, welcher einen um eine horizontale Achse nach unten wegklappbaren Boden besitzt, um den in diesem Abfallbehälter angesammelten Abfall in den darunterstehenden Abfalleimer entleeren zu können. Normalerweise wird diese Bodenklappe durch einen Gummizug oder dergleichen in ihrer Schließstellung gehalten; zu diesem Zweck ist an der Innenwand des schachtartigen Abfallbehälters ein Haken angebracht, in den der an der Oberseite der Bodenklappe befestigte Gummizug eingehängt werden kann. Es liegt nun auf der Hand, daß diese bekannte Konstruktion nicht nur ausserordentlich aufwendig ist und viel Platz benötigt, sondern daß auch ihre Montage und Handhabung umständlich ist - letzteres fällt besonders ins Gewicht, da der kleine, schachtartige Abfallbehälter wegen seines geringen Volumens häufig entleert werden muß.The same applies to the construction known from US-A-1,574,273, which relates to a cover or worktop which is arranged on a base cabinet and into which a sink is molded, next to which there is a waste opening. On the floor of the base cabinet is a waste bin housing, which has a shaft-like neck at the top, which bears from below against the cover plate forming the sink and the waste opening and surrounds the waste opening. On the bottom of this waste bin housing stands a waste bin under the waste opening and at a suitable distance therefrom, and a shaft-like waste container which can be removed from the waste opening is inserted into the waste opening and can be folded downward about a horizontal axis Soil has in order to be able to empty the waste collected in this waste container into the waste bin below. This bottom flap is normally held in its closed position by an elastic band or the like; For this purpose, a hook is attached to the inner wall of the shaft-like waste container, into which the elastic band attached to the top of the bottom flap can be hung. It is now obvious that this known construction is not only extremely complex and requires a lot of space, but also that its assembly and handling are cumbersome - the latter is particularly important since the small, shaft-like waste container is often emptied because of its small volume got to.

Der Erfindung lag die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Einbauspüle der eingangs erwähnten Art zu entwickeln, welche es erlaubt, einen Abfallbehälter verhältnismäßig großen Volumens zu verwenden und die einfach zu montieren und zu handhaben ist.The invention had for its object to develop a built-in sink of the type mentioned, which allows a waste container of relatively large volume to be used and which is easy to assemble and handle.

Erfindungsgemäß wird zu diesem Zweck vorgeschlagen, eine solche Einbauspüle derart auszubilden, daß der Abfallbehälter die Form eines nach vorn aus der Tragvorrichtung herausziehbaren Abfalleimers hat und der an der Einbauspüle befestigte Abfallschacht nicht in den Abfalleimer hineinragt.For this purpose, it is proposed according to the invention to design such a built-in sink in such a way that the waste container has the shape of a waste bin which can be pulled out from the front of the carrying device and the waste shaft attached to the built-in sink does not protrude into the waste bin.

Die erfindungsgemäße Einbauspüle bringt eine Vielzahl von Vorteilen mit sich: Statt der stets auf Vorrat zu haltenden Müllbeutel, deren Auswechseln mühsam und mit Risiken verbunden ist, kann ein verhältnismäßig großvolumiger Abfalleimer verwendet werden, der sich leicht aus der erfindungsgemäßen Einbauspülenvorrichtung und einem diese tragenden Unterbauschrank herausnehmen und entleeren läßt; der Abfallschacht kann als ganz einfaches Teil ausgebildet sein, so daß er sich leicht reinigen läßt, und er gewährleistet, daß in die Abfallöffnung eingeworfener Abfall sowie an der Spülenoberseite anfallende Flüssigkeiten mit Sicherheit in den Abfalleimer gelangen, ohne daß dadurch das leichte Herausnehmen des Abfalleimers aus der Einbauspülenvorrichtung behindert würde; obwohl sich der Abfalleimer leicht entnehmen läßt, kann die gesamte Einbauspülenvorrichtung als vormontierte Einheit hergestellt werden, so daß sie durch einen Monteur nur noch in einen Ausschnitt einer Unterbauschrank-Abdeckplatte eingesetzt und dort befestigt werden muß; schließlich kann die Konstruktion so ausgebildet sein, daß der Abfallschacht von oben in die Abfallöffnung eingesetzt ist und sich infolgedessen nach oben aus der Einbauspülenkonstruktion herausnehmen läßt, so daß er auf einfache Weise gereinigt werden kann.The built-in sink according to the invention has a number of advantages: Instead of the garbage bags which are always to be kept in stock and which are laborious and risky to replace, a relatively large volume can be used Waste bins are used, which can be easily removed and emptied from the built-in sink device according to the invention and a base cabinet supporting it; The waste chute can be designed as a very simple part, so that it can be easily cleaned, and it ensures that waste thrown into the waste opening as well as liquids accumulating on the top of the sink safely get into the waste bin without the easy removal of the waste bin the built-in sink device would be hindered; Although the waste bin can be easily removed, the entire built-in sink device can be manufactured as a preassembled unit, so that it only has to be inserted by a fitter into a section of a base cabinet cover plate and fastened there; Finally, the construction can be designed so that the waste chute is inserted into the waste opening from above and can consequently be removed upward from the built-in sink construction so that it can be cleaned in a simple manner.

Besonders bei Einbauspülen aus Edelstahlblech empfiehlt es sich, die Tragvorrichtung nahe dem vorderen und hinteren Rand der Einbauspüle an deren Unterseite zu befestigen, damit die Tragkräfte im Randbereich der Einbauspüle in diese eingeleitet werden und nicht zu einer Deformation z.B. einer neben dem Spülbecken angeordneten Arbeits- oder Abtropffläche der Einbauspüle führen können.Especially with built-in sinks made of stainless steel sheet, it is advisable to fasten the carrying device near the front and rear edge of the built-in sink on its underside, so that the load-bearing capacity in the edge area of the built-in sink is introduced into it and does not cause any deformation, e.g. a built-in sink or work surface next to the sink.

Wenn, wie bei einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausführungsform der erfindungsgemäßen Einbauspüle, in dem Abfallschacht ein nach oben aus der Spüle heraushebbarer Schutzschacht vorhanden ist, empfiehlt es sich, diesen so zu dimensionieren, daß sein unterer Rand mit demjenigen des Abfallschachts bündig ist, damit der Schutzschacht einerseits ein Verschmutzen des Abfallschachts über dessen ganze Länge verhindert und andererseits nicht in den Abfalleimer hineinragt.If, as in a particularly advantageous embodiment of the built-in sink according to the invention, in the waste shaft If there is a protective shaft that can be lifted upwards out of the sink, it is advisable to dimension it so that its lower edge is flush with that of the waste shaft, so that the protective shaft prevents contamination of the waste shaft over its entire length on the one hand, and not into the waste bin on the other protrudes.

Um die Führung des Abfallbehälters an der Tragvorrichtung möglichst einfach zu gestalten und einen Abfalleimer möglichst großen Volumens verwenden zu können, wird vorgeschlagen, an der Tragvorrichtung quer zur Spülenlängsrichtung sowie zumindest ungefähr horizontal verlaufende Führungsschienen für seitliche Tragelemente des Abfalleimers vorzusehen und letzteren so auszubilden, daß die unterhalb des unteren Endes des Abfallschachts gehaltene obere Öffnung des Abfalleimers größer als der Querschnitt des Abfallschachts ist. Selbst wenn die Hausfrau dann so viel Abfälle in die Abfallöffnung wirft, daß sich diese im Abfallschacht stauen, sorgt der sich im Abfalleimer ausbildende natürliche Böschungswinkel dafür, daß im Abfalleimer seitlich noch ein freier Raum verbleibt, in den der im Abfallschacht stehende Müll fallen kann, wenn der Abfalleimer unter der Einbauspüle hervorgezogen wird, so daß sich auf alle Fälle vermeiden läßt, daß beim Herausziehen des Abfalleimers Müll in den die Einbauspüle tragenden Unterbauschrank fällt.In order to make the management of the waste container on the carrying device as simple as possible and to be able to use a waste bin with the largest possible volume, it is proposed to provide on the carrying device transversely to the longitudinal direction of the sink and at least approximately horizontal guide rails for lateral carrying elements of the waste bin and to design the latter so that the the upper opening of the waste bin held below the lower end of the waste shaft is larger than the cross section of the waste shaft. Even if the housewife throws so much waste into the waste opening that it jams in the waste shaft, the natural slope angle that forms in the waste bin ensures that there is still a free space on the side in which the waste standing in the waste shaft can fall, if the trash can is pulled out from under the built-in sink, so that it can be avoided in any case that garbage falls into the undercounter cabinet carrying the built-in sink when the waste bin is pulled out.

Der Abfallschacht könnte an der Unterseite der Einbauspüle z.B. angeschweisst oder bei einer Kunststoffspüle an diese angeformt sein. Besonders einfach herstellbar wird die Konstruktion jedoch dann, wenn das obere Ende des Abfallschachts einfach gegen die Spülenunterseite anliegt. Denkbar wäre auch, daß der Abfallschacht in seiner vorderen Wand unten einen Ausschnitt besitzt, in den der Abfalleimer von vorn eingeschoben wird. Für den Abfalleimer sind nicht notwendigerweise Sonderkonstruktionen erforderlich, da ein üblicher Abfalleimer mit nach außen gebogenem, oberem Rand verwendet werden kann, welch letzterer die seitlichen Tragelemente bildet, mit denen der Abfalleimer in Führungsschienen der Tragvorrichtung eingeschoben wird. Der Abfallschacht kann durch die Tragvorrichtung gehalten und gegen die Spülenunterseite angelegt werden. Er kann aber auch selbst die Tragvorrichtung bilden oder Bestandteil der Tragvorrichtung sein, insbesondere dadurch, daß sein oberer Bereich mit Hilfe eines Befestigungselements im Bereich des vorderen Rands der Einbauspüle an deren Unterseite befestigt wird und er mit seinem unteren Bereich die vorderen Bereiche der erwähnten Führungsschienen mittelbar oder unmittelbar trägt.The waste shaft could, for example, be welded to the underside of the built-in sink or molded onto it in the case of a plastic sink. However, the construction is particularly easy to manufacture if the upper end of the waste chute simply lies against the underside of the sink. It would also be conceivable that the waste shaft has a cutout in its front wall below, into which the waste bin is inserted from the front. Special constructions are not necessarily required for the waste bin, since a conventional waste bin with an outwardly curved upper edge can be used, the latter forming the lateral supporting elements with which the waste bin is inserted into guide rails of the carrier device. The waste chute can be held by the carrying device and placed against the underside of the sink. However, it can also form the carrying device itself or be part of the carrying device, in particular in that its upper area is fastened to the underside of the built-in sink in the area of the front edge of the built-in sink and the lower area indirectly engages the front areas of the guide rails mentioned or carries directly.

Die in Fig. 1 dargestellte eigentliche Einbauspüle (10) besitzt einen umlaufenden erhöhten Tragrand (20), mit dem sie auf einer Tisch- oder Abdeckplatte eines nicht dargestellten Kücheneinbaumöbels in Form eines Unterbauschranks aufliegt. Diese Tischplatte weist einen in seiner Form an die Einbauspüle (10) angepassten Ausschnitt auf, in den die unterhalb des Tragrands (20) befindlichen Bereiche der Einbauspüle eingreifen. Der Tragrand (20) trägt also die gesamte erfindungsgemäße Konstruktion.The actual built-in sink (10) shown in FIG. 1 has a circumferential raised support rim (20) with which it rests on a table or cover plate of a kitchen built-in piece of furniture, not shown, in the form of a base cabinet. The shape of this table top has a cutout that is adapted to the built-in sink (10), into which the areas of the built-in sink located below the supporting edge (20) engage. The supporting edge (20) thus carries the entire construction according to the invention.

Die eigentliche Einbauspüle (10) umfaßt - gemäß Fig. 1 von rechts nach links - ein Spülbecken (22), daneben von vorn nach hinten hintereinander eine Abfallöffnung (24) (siehe z. B. auch Fig. 2a) mit einem umlaufenden, vertieften Aufsetzrand (26) zum Auflegen eines Deckels (28), eine Restemulde (30) und einen Armaturensockel (32), woran sich nach links eine mit nach oben vorspringenden Rippen versehene Abtropffläche (34) anschließt. Alle diese Bereiche werden von dem Tragrand (20) umschlossen, und eine eine geschlossene Linie bildende Stufe (36) umfaßt die Abtropffläche (34), die Restemulde (30) und das Spülbecken (22).The actual built-in sink (10) comprises - according to FIG. 1 from right to left - a sink (22), next to it a waste opening (24) one behind the other (see also FIG. 2a) with a circumferential, recessed one Attachment rim (26) for placing a lid (28), a residual trough (30) and a fitting base (32), which is followed by a draining surface (34) provided with ribs projecting upwards. All of these areas are enclosed by the supporting edge (20), and a step (36) forming a closed line comprises the drainer (34), the residual trough (30) and the sink (22).

Erfindungsgemäß bilden der Boden 34a der Abtropffläche 34, ein das Spülbecken 22 umgebender Randbereich 22a und eine die Restemulde 30 umgebende Fläche 40 eine einzige Ebene, die vorzugsweise gemäß Fig. 1 von links nach rechts Gefälle in Richtung auf das Spülbecken 22 hat. Ablauföffnungen des Spülbeckens 22 und der Restemulde 30 wurden mit 42 bzw. 44 bezeichnet. Durch die Stufe 36 wird erreicht, daß in den Bereichen der Abtropffläche 34, der Restemulde 30 und des Spülbeckens 22 anfallendes Tropf-, Spritz- und Schwallwasser nicht in die Abfallöffnung 24 laufen kann.According to the invention, the bottom 34a of the draining surface 34, an edge region 22a surrounding the sink 22 and a surface 40 surrounding the residual trough 30 form a single plane which preferably has a gradient from left to right in the direction of the sink 22 according to FIG. 1. Drain openings of the sink 22 and the residual trough 30 were designated 42 and 44, respectively. The step 36 ensures that dripping, splashing and splashing water occurring in the areas of the draining surface 34, the residual trough 30 and the sink 22 cannot run into the waste opening 24.

Anhand der Fig. 2, 2a, 2b und 3 sollen nun die unterhalb der eigentlichen Einbauspüle 10 befindlichen Teile der erfindungsgemäßen Einbaueinheit erläutert werden. Wie sich besonders deutlich aus Fig. 3 ergibt, sind im hinteren Bereich der Einbauspüle 10 an deren Unterseite zwei Gewindebolzen 48 befestigt, insbesondere angeschweißt, mit deren Hilfe und Muttern 50 zwei Träger 52 an der Unterseite der Einbauspüle befestigt wurden. An diesen ist eine Verschlußplatte 54 angeschweißt, welche in ihrem vorderen Bereich eine Öffnung 56 besitzt, an die sich nach oben ein Abwurfschacht 58 anschließt, der mit der Verschlußplatte 54 verschweißt oder an dieser in anderer Weise befestigt ist. An der Vorderwand des Abwurfschachts ist ein Befestigungswinkel 60 angeschweißt, welcher mittels einer oder mehrerer Schrauben und Muttern mit einem Befestigungswinkel 62 verbunden ist, der an der Unterseite der Einbauspüle 10 angeschweißt wurde, und zwar im Bereich des vorderen Teils des Tragrands 20. Auf diese Weise wird der Vorteil erreicht, daß der Abwurfschacht 58 den vorderen Teil der Verschlußplatte 54 trägt. Durch die Bemessung der Träger 52 und des Befestigungswinkels 62 läßt sich ferner erreichen, daß das obere Ende des Abwurfschachts 58 von unten fest gegen die Einbauspüle 10 angepreßt wird.The parts of the installation unit according to the invention located below the actual built-in sink 10 will now be explained with reference to FIGS. 2, 2a, 2b and 3. As can be seen particularly clearly from FIG. 3, in the rear area of the built-in sink 10, two threaded bolts 48 are fastened, in particular welded, to the underside of the latter, with the aid of which nuts 50 50 two brackets 52 were fastened to the underside of the built-in sink. A closure plate 54 is welded to this, which has an opening 56 in its front region, to which an ejection chute 58 adjoins at the top, which is welded to the closure plate 54 or fastened to it in another way. A mounting bracket 60 is welded to the front wall of the discharge chute, which is connected by means of one or more screws and nuts to a mounting bracket 62 which was welded to the underside of the built-in sink 10, specifically in the area of the front part of the support edge 20. In this way, the advantage is achieved that the discharge shaft 58 carries the front part of the closure plate 54. By dimensioning the carrier 52 and the mounting bracket 62, it can also be achieved that the upper end of the discharge chute 58 is pressed firmly against the built-in sink 10 from below.

An die Verschlußplatte 54 sind seitlich zwei Führungsschienen 64 angeformt, in die sich von vorn, d. h. gemäß Fig. 3 von rechts, ein Abfalleimer 66 einschieben läßt. Dieser besitzt erfindungsgemäß in der Draufsicht eine ungefähr rechteckige Gestalt, wobei seine Schmalseiten nach vorn bzw. hinten gekehrt sind. Zumindest an seinen beiden Längsseiten weist er Tragstege 68 auf, die bei eingeschobenem Abfalleimer auf den Führungsschienen 64 aufliegen. An den Längsseiten des Abfalleimers 66 ist im Bereich seines oberen Rands bei 70 ein schwenkbarer Tragbügel 72 angelenkt, der im herabgeschwenkten Zustand auf den Tragstegen 68 des Abfalleimers aufliegt. In den Abfalleimer 66 kann ein Folienbeutel 74 eingelegt werden, der mit seinem oberen Randbereich um die Tragstege 68 herumgezogen wird und diese um- und untergreift, wobei dar nach unten geschwenkte Tragbügel 72 noch weiter dazu beiträgt, den oberen Rand des Folienbeutels zu fixieren.On the closure plate 54 two guide rails 64 are integrally formed, in which from the front, d. H. 3 from the right, a waste bin 66 can be inserted. According to the invention, this has an approximately rectangular shape in plan view, its narrow sides being turned forwards or backwards. At least on its two long sides, it has support webs 68 which rest on the guide rails 64 when the waste bin is pushed in. On the longitudinal sides of the waste bin 66, a pivotable support bracket 72 is articulated in the region of its upper edge at 70, which in the pivoted-down state rests on the support webs 68 of the waste bin. A film bag 74 can be inserted into the waste bin 66, the upper edge region of which is drawn around the support webs 68 and engages around and under them, with the support bracket 72 pivoted downward further contributing to fixing the upper edge of the film bag.

An die Einbauspüle ist ein Kragen 78 angeformt, der vom Aufsetzrand 26 umgeben wird und möglichst gut passend in den Abwurfschacht 58 eingreift, so daß auf den Aufsetzrand 26 gelangende Flüssigkeit auf alle Fälle in den Abwurfschacht 58 geleitet wird und somit in den Folienbeutel 74 gelangt, nicht aber in den Raum des Einbauküchenmöbels unterhalb der Einbauspüle 10 fließen kann.A collar 78 is molded onto the built-in sink, which is surrounded by the attachment edge 26 and which fits into the discharge chute 58 as well as possible, so that liquid reaching onto the attachment edge 26 is applied to all Cases in the discharge chute 58 is passed and thus gets into the film bag 74, but can not flow into the space of the fitted kitchen furniture below the built-in sink 10.

Erfindungsgemäß ist in den Abwurfschacht 58 von oben ein Schutzschacht 80 eingesetzt, an dessen oberen Rand ein umlaufender Flansch 22 angeformt ist. Dieser ist mit einer als Ganzes mit 84 bezeichneten Dichtung umspritzt, die insbesondere aus Weich-PVC besteht, und zu deren Fixierung der Flansch 82 Löcher 86 besitzt, die mit dem Material der Dichtung 84 ausgefüllt sind. Die Dichtung 84 dient erfindungsgemäß einem doppelten Zweck: Zum einen dichtet sie zwischen dem Flansch 82 und dem Aufsetzrand 26 ab, zum anderen zwischen dem Flansch 82 und dem Deckel 28. Es ist dabei von Vorteil, wenn die Höhen- und Dickenverhältnisse, die sich aus Fig. 2a entnehmen lassen, so gewählt sind, daß der Rand des Deckels 28 nicht über das Feld 37 der eigentlichen Einbauspüle 10 hinausragt, welches den Aufsetzrand 26 umgibt und zwischen der Stufe 36 und dem Tragrand 20 liegt.According to the invention, a protective shaft 80 is inserted into the discharge shaft 58 from above, on the upper edge of which a circumferential flange 22 is formed. This is overmolded with a seal designated 84 as a whole, which consists in particular of soft PVC and for fixing the flange 82 has holes 86 which are filled with the material of the seal 84. According to the invention, the seal 84 serves a dual purpose: on the one hand, it seals between the flange 82 and the fitting edge 26, and on the other hand between the flange 82 and the cover 28. It is advantageous if the height and thickness ratios that result Fig. 2a remove, are chosen so that the edge of the cover 28 does not protrude beyond the field 37 of the actual built-in sink 10, which surrounds the attachment edge 26 and lies between the step 36 and the supporting edge 20.

Nach einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung endet der Schutzschacht 80 unten auf dem Niveau der Verschlußplatte 54, so daß er das Hineinschieben und Herausziehen des Abfalleimers 66 aus den Führungsschienen 64 nicht behindert. Auch ist es zweckmäßig, den Abfalleimer 66 und die Führungsschienen 64 so zu gestalten, daß sich der obere Rand des Abfalleimers im Abstand unterhalb der Verschlußplatte 54 befindet. Schließlich ist der vordere Bereich der Verschlußplatte 54 schräg nach oben abgebogen, so wie dies die Fig. 3 erkennen läßt, um es zu ermöglichen, den Abfalleimer 66 schräg von oben kommend in die Führungsschienen 64 einzuschieben.According to a further feature of the invention, the protective shaft 80 ends at the level of the closure plate 54, so that it does not hinder the pushing in and pulling out of the waste bin 66 from the guide rails 64. It is also expedient to design the waste bin 66 and the guide rails 64 so that the upper edge of the waste bin is at a distance below the closure plate 54. Finally is the front area of the closure plate 54 is bent obliquely upwards, as can be seen in FIG. 3, in order to make it possible to insert the waste bin 66 into the guide rails 64 coming obliquely from above.

Erfindungsgemäß liegt der vordere Bereich des Abfalleimers 66 unterhalb des Abwurfschachts 58, so wie sich dies aus Fig. 3 ergibt. Dadurch entsteht im Abfalleimer hinter dem Müll 90 ein Leerraum 92, in den derjenige Teil des Mülls hineinfallen kann, der sich noch im Schutzschacht 80 befindet, und zwar dann, wenn der Abfalleimer 66 in Richtung des Pfeils A (siehe Fig. 3) nach vorn aus den Führungsschienen 64 herausgezogen wird.According to the invention, the front region of the waste bin 66 lies below the discharge shaft 58, as can be seen in FIG. 3. This creates an empty space 92 in the waste bin behind the waste 90, into which that part of the waste that is still in the protective shaft 80 can fall, and specifically when the waste bin 66 in the direction of arrow A (see FIG. 3) to the front is pulled out of the guide rails 64.

Erfindungsgemäß ragt der Tragbügel 62 in seiner heruntergeklappten Stellung (siehe Fig. 3) so weit nach vorn über den Abfalleimer 66 hinaus, daß der Abfalleimer beim Schließen einer in Fig. 3 angedeuteten Tür 94 des die Einbauspüle aufnehmenden Kücheneinbaumöbels auf alle Fälle in seine hintere Einschiebeendstellung geschoben wird. Aus Fig. 2 ergibt sich, daß die Breite der oberen Öffnung des Abfalleimers 66 gleich oder geringfügig größer als die Breite des Abwurfschachts 58 ist, so daß der Abfall auch dann in den Abfalleimer fällt, wenn der Schutzschacht 80 nicht eingesetzt ist. Außerdem erkennt man aus Fig. 2, daß sich unterhalb des Spülbeckens 22 und neben dem Abfalleimer 66 ein weiterer Abfallbehälter unterbringen läßt. Schließlich zeigt die Fig. 3, daß sich der Raum über dem Abfalleimer 66 und hinter dem Abwurfschacht 58 für die Restemulde 30 ausnutzen läßt.According to the invention, the support bracket 62 in its folded-down position (see FIG. 3) projects so far forward over the waste bin 66 that the waste bin definitely closes its rear insertion end position when a door 94 of the built-in kitchen sink receiving the sink is closed in FIG. 3 is pushed. From Fig. 2 it can be seen that the width of the upper opening of the waste bin 66 is equal to or slightly larger than the width of the discharge shaft 58, so that the waste falls into the waste bin even when the protective shaft 80 is not inserted. It can also be seen from FIG. 2 that a further waste container can be accommodated below the sink 22 and next to the waste bin 66. Finally, Fig. 3 shows that the Space above the waste bin 66 and behind the chute 58 can be used for the residual trough 30.

In die Fig. 2 ist noch der Abstand "B" eingetragen, der auf das sogenannte Rastermaß (60 cm) von Einbauküchen abgestimmt sein sollte. Bei diesem Rastermaß handelt es sich um die Breite eines sogenannten Unterbauschranks, und das Maß "B" soll der lichten Breite eines solchen Unterbauschranks zwischen dessen Seitenwänden entsprechen, so daß derjenige Bereich der erfindungsgemäßen Konstruktion, welcher das Spülbecken 22 und die in Fig. 2 insgesamt mit 14 bezeichnete Halterung für den Abwurfschacht 58 und den Abfalleimer 66 umfaßt, zwischen die beiden seitlichen Wände eines solchen Unterbauschranks hineinpaßt. Dieses Maß "B" hängt von der Stärke der Seitenwände eines Unterbauschranks ab und ist etwas kleiner wie 60 cm; bei der bevorzugten Ausführungsform der erfindungsgemäßen Einbauspüle beträgt das Maß "B" ungefähr 56 cm.In Fig. 2, the distance "B" is still entered, which should be matched to the so-called grid dimension (60 cm) of fitted kitchens. This grid dimension is the width of a so-called base cabinet, and dimension "B" should correspond to the clear width of such a base cabinet between its side walls, so that the area of the construction according to the invention which contains the sink 22 and that in FIG. 2 as a whole 14 designated holder for the chute 58 and the trash can 66, fits between the two side walls of such a base cabinet. This dimension "B" depends on the thickness of the side walls of a base cabinet and is slightly smaller than 60 cm; in the preferred embodiment of the built-in sink according to the invention, dimension "B" is approximately 56 cm.
