Aus der DE 71 28 766 U ist eine Kücheneinbauanordnung mit einer eine Einbauöffnung aufweisenden Arbeitsplatte und einer in die Einbauöffnung flächenbündig eingesetzten Einbauspüle bekannt, wobei die Einbauspüle an dem äußeren Rand mit der Oberseite der Arbeitsplatte ausgefluchtet ist. Diese Arbeitsplatte weist im Bereich der Einbauöffnung einen einstückig mit der Arbeitsplatte als Abschrägung der Randfläche der Einbauöffnung ausgebildeten Auflageabschnitt auf. Der Einbauspüle ist ein zur Abschrägung des Auflageabschnitts korrespondierendes Dichtungsband zugeordnet, wobei sich das Dichtungsband auf der Abschrägung des Auflageabschnitts abstützt und wobei die Einbauspüle auf dem Dichtungsband aufliegt. Zur Befestigung der Einbauspüle mit der Platte sind Befestigungselemente vorgesehen, die mit einem mittels einer Schraube höhenverstellbaren Fuß die Platte untergreifen und sich beim Anziehen der Schraube in der Platte festkrallen und so die Einbauspüle nach unten gegen das Dichtungsband und den Auflageabschnitt der Arbeitsplatte ziehen.From the DE 71 28 766 U is a kitchen installation arrangement with a built-in opening having a work surface and a flush-mounted in the installation opening built-in sink known, the built-in sink is aligned at the outer edge with the top of the worktop. In the region of the installation opening, this worktop has a support section which is formed integrally with the worktop as a chamfer of the edge surface of the installation opening. The built-in sink is assigned a corresponding to the chamfer of the support portion sealing strip, wherein the sealing strip is supported on the bevel of the support portion and wherein the built-in sink rests on the sealing strip. To attach the inset sink with the plate fasteners are provided which engage under the plate with a height-adjustable foot by means of a screw and cling to the tightening of the screw in the plate and pull the built-in sink down against the sealing strip and the support portion of the worktop.

Aus der EP-A-1 001 096 ist im übrigen eine Einbauspüle zum flächenbündigen Einbau in einen Ausschnitt einer Arbeitsplatte bekannt, wobei die Einbauspüle einen umlaufenden äußeren Randbereich besitzt, der mit der Oberseite der Arbeitsplatte bündig ist. Zur Gewährleistung einer Zentrierung der Einbauspüle im Ausschnitt der Arbeitsplatte sowie zur Ermöglichung einer besseren Abdichtung der Fuge zwischen Einbauspüle und Arbeitsplatte wird ein spülfester, formstabiler Materialstrang vorgesehen, welcher eine sich an die obere Kante des Spülenrandes nach unten anschließende Zentrierfläche bildet, die nach unten und innen geneigt sowie zum Anlegen gegen eine komplementär geneigte Schrägfläche des Ausschnittrandes der Abdeckplatte vorgesehen ist. An der Unterseite der Einbauspüle ist ein metallischer Haltewinkel befestigt, der mit bekannten Befestigungselementen der Festlegung der Einbauspüle an der Abdeckplatte bzw. im Plattenausschnitt dient. Das Dokument EP-A-1 001 096 fällt unter Art. 54 (3) EPÜ und ist damit für die Frage der erfinderischen Tätigkeit nicht von Bedeutung.From the EP-A-1 001 096 Moreover, a built-in sink for flush mounting in a section of a worktop is known, wherein the built-in sink has a peripheral outer edge region which is flush with the top of the worktop. To ensure centering of the built-in sink in the cutout of the worktop and to enable better sealing of the joint between sink and worktop a rinse-proof, dimensionally stable material strand is provided, which forms a downwardly adjoining the upper edge of the sink edge centering, the down and inside inclined and for engagement against a complementary inclined inclined surface of the cutting edge of the cover plate is provided. At the bottom of the inset sink a metallic bracket is attached, which is used with known fasteners fixing the built-in sink on the cover plate or in the plate section. The document EP-A-1 001 096 falls under Article 54 (3) EPC and is therefore not relevant to the question of inventive step.

Aus der EP-A-0 503 895 ist eine Kücheneinbauanordnung mit einer eine Einbauöffnung aufweisenden Arbeitsplatte und wenigstens einem in die Einbauöffnung flächenbündig einsetzbaren Kücheneinbauteil bekannt, wobei das Kücheneinbauteil an seinem äußeren Rand mit der Oberseite der Arbeitsplatte ausgefluchtet ist und wobei die Arbeitsplatte im Bereich der Einbauöffnung einen einstückig mit der Arbeitsplatte als Abschrägung der Randfläche der Einbauöffnung ausgebildeten Auflageabschnitt aufweist. Das Kücheneinbauteil weist einen zur Abschrägung des Auflageabschnitts korrespondierenden Abstützabschnitt auf, der sich im Einbauzustand des Kücheneinbauteils auf dem Auflageabschnitt abstützt. Die aus dem vorgenannten Stand der Technik bekannte Kücheneinbauanordnung weist den Nachteil auf, daß das Kücheneinbauteil stirnseitig im Bereich des Abstützabschnitts unmittelbar auf dem Auflageabschnitt der Arbeitsplatte aufliegt. Beim Einbau des Kücheneinbauteils in die Einbauöffnung der Arbeitsplatte können Beschädigungen sowohl im Bereich des Auflageabschnitts der Arbeitsplatte als auch im Bereich des Absfützabschnitts des Kücheneinbauteils daher nicht ausgeschlossen werden.From the EP-A-0 503 895 is a kitchen installation arrangement with a built-in opening having a work surface and at least one flush-mounted in the installation opening kitchen fitting known, the kitchen fitting at its outer edge is aligned with the top of the worktop and wherein the worktop in the region of the mounting hole has an integrally formed with the worktop as a chamfer of the edge surface of the mounting hole support portion. The kitchen fitting has a bevel for the support portion corresponding support portion which is supported in the installed state of the kitchen fitting on the support portion. The known from the aforementioned prior art kitchen installation arrangement has the disadvantage that the kitchen fitting rests on the front side in the region of the support portion directly on the support portion of the worktop. When installing the kitchen fitting in the mounting hole of the worktop damage can not be excluded both in the area of the support portion of the worktop as well as in the Absfützabschnitts the kitchen fitting.

Kücheneinbauanordnungen und Kücheneinbauteile, nämlich Kochfelder oder Spülen, sind in der Praxis seit langem bekannt. Bei Kücheneinbauanordnungen ist es bevorzugt, daß die Arbeitsplatte mit dem Kücheneinbauteil jedenfalls im Bereich des Übergangs von der Arbeitsplatte auf das Kücheneinbauteil ausgefluchtet ist, was als flächenbündiger Einbau bezeichnet wird. Dieser flächenbündige Einbau zeichnet sich also dadurch aus, daß das Kücheneinbauteil nicht mit seinem äußeren Rand oder einem Rahmen auf der Oberseite der Arbeitsplatte aufliegt, sondern daß das Kücheneinbauteil unmittelbar auf die Arbeitsplatte übergeht, wobei lediglich ein schmaler Spalt zwischen dem Kücheneinbauteil und der Arbeitsplatte vorgesehen ist. Dies ist nicht nur aus optisch-ästhetischen Gründen ansprechend, sondern auch von der Handhabung her bevorzugt. Auch aus Reinigungsgründen bietet sich der flächenbündige Einbau von Spülen und Kochfeldern an.Kitchen installation arrangements and kitchen fittings, namely hobs or sinks, have long been known in the art. In kitchen installation arrangements, it is preferred that the worktop is aligned with the kitchen fitting at least in the region of the transition from the worktop to the kitchen fitting, which is referred to as flush mounting. This flush mounting is thus characterized by the fact that the kitchen fitting does not rest with its outer edge or a frame on the top of the worktop, but that the kitchen fitting merges directly with the worktop, with only a narrow gap between the kitchen fitting and the worktop is provided , This is not only appealing for aesthetic-aesthetic reasons, but also preferred from the handling. Also for cleaning reasons, the flush-mounted installation of sinks and hobs offers.

Ein Problem in Verbindung mit dem flächenbündigen Einbau ergibt sich häufig dadurch, daß die Arbeitsplatten zum Teil aus sehr harten Werkstoffen wie Granit oder Quarz bestehen. Arbeitsplatten aus derartigen Materialien sind sehr hart und spröde und lassen sich bei der Montage vor Ort nicht oder nur schwierig bohren. Aus diesem Grunde ist der flächenbündige Einbau in Verbindung mit harten Arbeitsplatten sehr umständlich und mit hohen Kosten verbunden.A problem associated with flush mounting often results from the fact that the worktops are made in part of very hard materials such as granite or quartz. Worktops made of such materials are very hard and brittle and can not be difficult or impossible to drill on site. For this reason, the flush mounting in connection with hard worktops is very cumbersome and associated with high costs.

Aus der Praxis sind bereits eine Kücheneinbauanordnung und ein Kücheneinbauteil bekannt, wobei die aus Granit bestehende Arbeitsplatte eine konisch gefräste Einbauöffnung aufweist. Das als Spüle ausgebildete Kücheneinbauteil ist mit einer korrespondierenden Gegenschräge versehen. Zur Montage wird die Spüle in die konische Einbauöffnung eingesetzt, wobei der Spalt zwischen der Spüle und der Arbeitsplatte mit Silikon verpreßt wird. Nachteilig bei dieser bekannten Kücheneinbauanordnung ist, daß die einmal eingebaute Spüle nur mit großen Schwierigkeiten wieder aus der Einbauöffnung herausgenommen werden kann. Außerdem ist eine Höhenverstellung der Spüle in der Einbauöffnung fast nicht möglich. Daraus resultiert, daß das Kücheneinbauteil sehr genau in seinen Abmaßen auf die Einbauöffnung abgestimmt sein muß, was schon aufgrund der Herstellungstoleranzen schwierig ist.From practice, a kitchen installation arrangement and a kitchen installation part are already known, wherein the existing granite countertop has a conically milled installation opening. Trained as a sink kitchen fitting is provided with a corresponding counter-slope. For installation, the sink is inserted into the conical installation opening, wherein the gap between the sink and the worktop is pressed with silicone. A disadvantage of this known kitchen installation arrangement that once installed sink can be removed again with great difficulty from the mounting hole. In addition, a height adjustment of the sink in the mounting hole is almost impossible. As a result, the kitchen fitting must be tuned very accurately in its dimensions on the mounting hole, which is already difficult due to the manufacturing tolerances.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es daher, eine Kücheneinbauanordnung zur Verfügung zu stellen, bei der der flächenbündige Einbau auch bei aus harten Materialien bestehenden Arbeitsplatten in einfacher Weise und damit kostengünstig möglich ist, ohne daß es zu einer Beschädigung des Kücheneinbauteils und/oder der Arbeitsplatte kommt.Object of the present invention is therefore to provide a kitchen installation arrangement available, in which the flush mounting even with existing hard materials worktops in a simple manner and thus cost is possible without causing damage to the kitchen fitting and / or the worktop ,

Die zuvor hergeleitete Aufgabe ist bei einer Kücheneinbauanordnung mit den Merkmalen von Patentanspruch 1 gelostThe previously derived object is achieved in a kitchen installation arrangement with the features of claim 1

Die erfindungsgemäße Ausgestaltung bietet den wesentlichen Vorteil, daß das Kücheneinbauteil nicht mehr derart exakt ausgebildet werden muß, daß es nach dem Einsetzen in die abgeschrägte Einbauöffnung flächenbündig mit der Arbeitsplatte ist. Statt dessen wird wenigstens ein zur Abschrägung korrespondierendes Abstützbauteil vorgesehen, daß an der Abschrägung der Einbauöffnung gehalten ist. Auf diesem Abstützbauteil liegt dann das Kücheneinbauteil auf. Der Unterschied zum zuvor beschriebenen, aus der Praxis bekannten Stand der Technik liegt also darin, daß bei der Erfindung das Kücheneinbauteil nicht direkt mit seiner Randkante an der Abschrägung der Einbauöffnung anliegt bzw. direkt an der Abschrägung gehalten ist, die Krafteinleitung also nicht von der Seite kommt, sondern von unten. Hierdurch kann das Kücheneinbauteil leichter aus der Einbauöffnung herausgenommen werden. Darüber hinaus kommt es beim Einbau des Kücheneinbauteils in die Einbauöffnung nicht zu Beschädigungen an der Arbeitsplatte und/oder an dem Kücheneinbauteil. Die Verwendung des Abstützbauteiles bietet im übrigen aber auch die Möglichkeit einer einfachen Höhenfeineinstellung, was bei der eingangs genannten, aus der Praxis bekannten Kücheneinbauanordnung nicht möglich war.The embodiment of the invention has the significant advantage that the kitchen fitting no longer must be made so accurate that it is flush with the worktop after insertion into the chamfered mounting hole. Instead, at least one support member corresponding to the bevel is provided, which is held on the bevel of the installation opening. On this support component is then the kitchen fitting on. The difference from the previously described, known from practice prior art is therefore that in the invention, the kitchen fitting is not directly with its edge on the chamfer of the mounting hole rests or is held directly on the bevel, so the force is not from the side comes, but from below. As a result, the kitchen fitting can be easily removed from the mounting hole. In addition, there is no damage to the worktop and / or the kitchen fitting when installing the kitchen fitting in the mounting hole. The use of the support component but also offers the possibility of a simple Höhenfeineinstellung, which was not possible with the aforementioned, known from practice kitchen installation arrangement.

Erfindungsgemäß ist das Abstützbauteil mit einem abwärts gerichteten Abstützabschnitt zur Anlage an die Abschrägung und einem horizontalen in die Einbauöffnung gerichteten Abschnitt versehen. Dabei entspricht die Neigung des Abstützabschnittes vorzugsweise im wesentlichen der Neigung der Abschrägung. Der horizontal in die Einbaurichtung gerichtete Abschnitt dient dabei zur Auflage und Anordnung des Kücheneinbauteils.According to the invention the support member is provided with a downwardly directed support portion for abutment with the chamfer and a horizontal directed into the mounting hole portion. The inclination of the support portion preferably corresponds substantially to the inclination of the chamfer. The horizontally directed in the direction of installation section serves to support and arrangement of the kitchen installation part.

Obwohl es bei exakter Herstellung grundsätzlich möglich ist, daß das Kücheneinbauteil nach Absetzen auf dem Auflageabschnitt flächenbündig in der Einbauöffnung angeordnet ist, kann es erforderlich sein, etwaige Fertigungstoleranzen auszugleichen. Zu diesem Zweck ist erfindungsgemäß eine insbesondere stufenlos verstellbare und auf das Kücheneinbauteil wirkende Hähenversteheinrichtung vorgesehen. Durch eine derartige Höhenverstelleinrichtung kann eine Feinjustierung in einfacher Weise erfolgen.Although it is possible in principle with exact production that the kitchen fitting is arranged flush-mounted on the support portion in the mounting hole, it may be necessary to compensate for any manufacturing tolerances. For this purpose, a particular continuously adjustable and acting on the kitchen fitting Hähenversteheinrichtung is provided according to the invention. By such a height adjustment fine adjustment can be done in a simple manner.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn das Abstützbauteil als umlaufender und insbesondere einstückiger Rahmen ausgebildet ist. Ein derartiger Rahmen kann ohne weiteres in die abgeschrägte Einbauöffnung eingesetzt werden und ist aufgrund der Form der Einbauöffnung quasi selbsthemmend darin angeordnet. Besondere Befestigungsmittel für den Rahmen sind nicht erforderlich, so daß die Anordnung des Rahmens in der Einbauöffnung in Sekundenschnelle erfolgen kann. Grundsätzlich ist es natürlich dennoch möglich, den Rahmen in irgendeiner Weise in der Einbauöffnung zu befestigen. Ausreichend wäre schon eine Verklebung. Nach Anordnung des Rahmens in der Einbauöffnung kann das Kücheneinbauteil in einfacher Weise auf dem Rahmen abgesetzt werden.It is particularly advantageous if the support component is designed as a circumferential and in particular one-piece frame. Such a frame can be easily inserted into the chamfered mounting hole and is due to the shape of the mounting hole virtually self-locking arranged therein. Special fasteners for the frame are not required, so that the arrangement of the frame in the mounting hole can be done in seconds. In principle, it is of course still possible to attach the frame in any way in the mounting hole. Sufficient would be a bond. After arranging the frame in the mounting hole, the kitchen fitting can be placed in a simple manner on the frame.

Bei einer besonders einfachen Ausgestaltung der Erfindung weist die Höhenverstelleinrichtung wenigstens eine insbesondere von der Unterseite der Arbeitsplatte her betätigbare Stellschraube auf. In der Regel sind natürlich eine Mehrzahl von Stellschrauben vorgesehen, die über die Länge des Auflageabschnittes verteilt angeordnet sind, um so eine gleichmäßige Höhenverstellung zu ermöglichen. Günstig ist es in diesem Zusammenhang im übrigen auch, daß die Stellschraube auf ein gegen das Kücheneinbauteil anliegendes insbesondere elastisches Distanzstück wirkt. Über ein derartiges Distanzstück können nicht nur größere Toleranzen schnell ausgeglichen werden, es wirkt auch als Stoßdämpfer bzw. Puffer, wenn auf das Kücheneinbauteil von oben her entsprechende Kräfte ausgeübt werden.In a particularly simple embodiment of the invention, the height adjustment at least one particular actuatable from the bottom of the worktop forth adjusting screw. In general, of course, a plurality of screws are provided, which are distributed over the length of the support portion, so as to allow a uniform height adjustment. It is favorable in this context, moreover, that the set screw acts on a fitting against the kitchen fitting in particular elastic spacer. About such a spacer not only larger tolerances can be compensated quickly, it also acts as a shock absorbers or buffers when appropriate forces are exerted on the kitchen fitting from above.

Die Anbringung der Stellschrauben der Höhenverstelleinrichtung kann in einfacher Weise dadurch erfolgen, daß im horizontalen Abschnitt des Abstützbauteils eine Mehrzahl entweder von Bohrungen für selbstschneidende Schrauben oder von Gewindebohrungen für Stellschrauben vorgesehen sind.The attachment of the screws of the height adjustment can be done in a simple manner that are provided in the horizontal portion of the support member a plurality of either holes for self-tapping screws or threaded holes for screws.

Im übrigen ist es in diesem Zusammenhang von Vorteil, daß der Auflageabschnitt umlaufend an der Einbauöffnung vorgesehen ist, so daß das Kücheneinbauteil sich randseitig auch an jeder Stelle abstützen kann. Grundsätzlich ist es natürlich aber auch möglich, daß der Auflageabschnitt nicht umlaufend ausgebildet ist, jedoch eine Reihe von einzelnen regelmäßig oder unregelmäßig beabstandeten Auflageabschnitten aufweist, die über die Länge der Einbauöffnung verteilt sein können.Moreover, it is in this context of advantage that the support portion is provided circumferentially at the mounting hole, so that the kitchen fitting can be supported at the edge also at any point. In principle, however, it is also possible that the support portion is not formed circumferentially, but has a number of individual regularly or irregularly spaced support portions, which may be distributed over the length of the mounting hole.

Wie eingangs bereits aufgeführt worden ist, eignet sich die Erfindung insbesondere bei Arbeitsplatten, die aus harten Materialien wie Granit oder Quarz oder aus Verbundmaterialien wie Acryl-Granit oder Acryl-Quarz bestehen, da bei der Erfindung eine Bearbeitung der Arbeitsplatte im Bereich der Einbauöffnung bei der Montage grundsätzlich nicht erforderlich ist. Allerdings versteht es sich, daß die Erfindung auch bei Arbeitsplatten eingesetzt werden kann, die aus "weichen" Materialien, wie Holz oder Kunststoff, oder aus derartigen Materialien hergestellten Verbundwerkstoffen, bestehen.As already mentioned, the invention is particularly suitable for countertops, which consist of hard materials such as granite or quartz or composite materials such as acrylic granite or acrylic quartz, as in the invention, a processing of the worktop in the mounting hole in the Installation is not necessary. However, it is to be understood that the invention may be applied to countertops made of "soft" materials such as wood or plastic, or composites made of such materials.

Beim flächenbündigen Einbau ist es unvermeidbar, daß sich im eingebauten Zustand zwischen dem Kücheneinbauteil und der Arbeitsplatte ein Spalt ergibt. Zu Abdichtungszwecken ist dabei vorgesehen, daß der Spalt mit einem Dichtmittel, insbesondere Silikon abgedichtet ist. In diesem Zusammenhang ist es im übrigen von besonderem Vorteil, daß zusätzlich zum in den Spalt eingebrachten Dichtmittel keine sonstigen Befestigungsmittel zur Befestigung des Kücheneinbauteils in der Einbauöffnung vorgesehen sind. Es ist nämlich festgestellt worden, daß das in die Einbauöffnung eingesetzte Kücheneinbauteil schon aufgrund des eingebrachten Dichtmittels fest im eingebauten Zustand gehalten wird, so daß sonstige Befestigungsmittel grundsätzlich nicht erforderlich sind. Dennoch ist es aber auch möglich, an der Unterseite des Kücheneinbauteils entsprechende Mittel, beispielsweise Rastzapfen zu befestigen, die mit korrespondierenden Mitteln, beispielsweise Rastöffnungen im horizontalen Abschnitt des Auflageabschnittes, zusammenwirken.When flush mounting, it is unavoidable that results in the installed state between the kitchen fitting and the worktop a gap. For sealing purposes, it is provided that the gap is sealed with a sealant, in particular silicone. In this context, it is also of particular advantage that in addition to the introduced into the gap sealant no other fastening means for fixing the kitchen fitting are provided in the mounting hole. It has been found that the kitchen insert used in the mounting hole already due to the introduced Sealant is firmly held in the installed state, so that other fastening means are not required in principle. Nevertheless, it is also possible to fasten corresponding means, for example latching pins, on the underside of the kitchen fitting, which cooperate with corresponding means, for example detent openings in the horizontal section of the support section.

Um den Spalt zwischen dem Rand des Kücheneinbauteils und der Arbeitsplatte so gering wie möglich zu halten, weist die stirnseitige Randkante des Kücheneinbauteils ebenfalls eine Abschrägung auf, wobei die Neigung der Abschrägung der Randkante vorzugsweise etwa der Neigung der Abschrägung des Auflageabschnitts entspricht.In order to keep the gap between the edge of the kitchen fitting and the worktop as low as possible, the front edge edge of the kitchen fitting also has a chamfer, wherein the inclination of the chamfer of the peripheral edge preferably corresponds approximately to the inclination of the chamfer of the support portion.

Weitere Merkmale und Vorteile ergeben sich aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung von Ausführungsbeispielen anhand der Zeichnung.Further features and advantages will become apparent from the following description of exemplary embodiments with reference to the drawing.

In den einzelnen Figuren sind verschiedene Ausführungsformen von erfindungsgemäßen Kücheneinbauanordnungen 1 dargestellt. Die Ausführungsformen gemäß den Fig. 1 bis 3 stellen dabei eine erfindungsgemäße Alternative dar.In the individual figures, various embodiments of kitchen installation arrangements 1 according to the invention are shown. The embodiments according to the Fig. 1 to 3 represent an alternative according to the invention.

Bei allen Ausführungsformen ist die Kücheneinbauanordnung 1 mit einer eine Einbauöffnung 2 aufweisenden Arbeitsplatte 3 versehen. Weiterhin weist die Kücheneinbauanordnung 1 ein flächenbündig in die Einbauöffnung 2 der Arbeitsplatte eingesetztes Kücheneinbauteil 4 auf. Bei dem Kücheneinbauteil 4 handelt es sich bei den Ausführungsformen gemäß den Fig. 1 und 2 um Kochfelder, während bei der Ausführungsform gemäß der Fig. 3 eine Spüle als Kücheneinbauteil 4 vorgesehen ist. Die Kochfelder können oberseitig eine Glaskeramikplatte aufweisen oder aber auch mit einer Metallplatte für sogenannte Massekochplatten versehen sein. Die Spülen können aus Edelstahl, Keramik oder auch Kunststoff bestehen.In all embodiments, the kitchen installation assembly 1 is provided with a mounting hole 2 having a worktop 3. Furthermore, the kitchen installation arrangement 1 has a flush-mounted in the mounting hole 2 of the worktop kitchen fitting 4. In the kitchen fitting 4 are in the embodiments according to the Fig. 1 and 2 around hobs, while in the embodiment according to the Fig. 3 a sink is provided as a kitchen fitting 4. The cooktops can have a glass ceramic plate on the upper side or can also be provided with a metal plate for so-called mass cooking plates. The sinks can be made of stainless steel, ceramic or plastic.

Im übrigen kann es sich bei den Kücheneinbauteilen 4 auch um Kombinationsgeräte mit einem Spülenbereich und einem Kochfeldbereich handeln. Wie sich aus den einzelnen Figuren ergibt, ist das Kücheneinbauteil 4 an seinem äußeren Rand 5 mit der Oberseite 6 der Arbeitsplatte 3 ausgefluchtet. Durch diese Ausfluchtung ergibt sich der zuvor erwähnte flächenbündige Einbau des Kücheneinbauteils 4 in die Einbauöffnung 2 der Arbeitsplatte 3. Wichtig ist also, daß das Kücheneinbauteil 4 gerade nicht mit seinem äußeren Rand oder einem anderen Bauteil wie einem Rahmen auf der Oberseite 6 der Arbeitsplatte 3 aufliegt.Incidentally, the kitchen installation parts 4 may also be combination devices having a sink area and a hob area. As can be seen from the individual figures, the kitchen fitting 4 is aligned at its outer edge 5 with the top 6 of the worktop 3. This alignment results in the aforementioned flush installation of the kitchen fitting 4 in the mounting hole 2 of the worktop 3. It is important that the kitchen fitting 4 just does not rest with its outer edge or other component such as a frame on the top 6 of the worktop 3 ,

Bei den Ausführungsformen gemäß den Fig. 1 bis 3 weist die Arbeitsplatte 3 im Bereich der Einbauöffnung 2 einen einstückig mit der Arbeitsplatte 3 als Abschrägung 7 der Randfläche der Einbauöffnung 2 ausgebildeten Auflageabschnitt auf.In the embodiments according to the Fig. 1 to 3 the worktop 3 in the region of the mounting hole 2 on an integrally formed with the worktop 3 as a chamfer 7 of the edge surface of the mounting hole 2 support portion.

Wesentlich ist nun bei den Ausführungsformen gemäß den Fig. 1 bis 3, daß das Kücheneinbauteil 4 nicht direkt bzw. unmittelbar mit seinem Rand 5 gegen die Abschrägung 7 gepreßt wird, so daß sich eine seitliche Krafteinleitung ergibt, sondern daß dem Kücheneinbauteil 4 wenigstens ein zur Abschrägung 7 des Auflageabschnittes korrespondierendes Abstützbauteil 8 zugeordnet ist, das sich an der Abschrägung 7 abstützt und auf dem das Kücheneinbauteil aufliegt. Hierdurch ergibt sich eine Krafteinleitung von unten.It is essential in the embodiments according to the Fig. 1 to 3 that the kitchen fitting 4 is not pressed directly or directly with its edge 5 against the chamfer 7, so that there is a lateral force, but that the kitchen fitting 4 at least one corresponding to the chamfer 7 of the support portion support member 8 is assigned to the the bevel 7 is supported and rests on the kitchen fitting. This results in a force from below.

Das Abstützbauteil 8 weist bei den drei Ausführungsbeispielen gemäß den Fig. 1 bis 3 einerseits einen abwärts gerichteten Abstützabschnitt 9 auf, der zur Anlage an die Abschrägung 7 vorgesehen ist. Andererseits weist das Abstützbauteil 8 einen horizontalen oder zumindest im wesentlichen horizontal ausgebildeten, in die Einbauöffnung 2 gerichteten Abschnitt 10 auf. Auf dem horizontalen Abschnitt 10 kann sich mittelbar oder unmittelbar das Kücheneinbauteil 4 abstützen bzw. aufliegen. Die Neigung der Abschrägung 7 ist im übrigen der Neigung des Abstützabschnittes 9 zumindest im wesentlichen angepaßt.The support member 8 has in the three embodiments according to the Fig. 1 to 3 on the one hand, a downwardly directed support section 9, which is provided for abutment against the bevel 7. On the other hand, the support member 8 has a horizontal or at least substantially horizontally formed, directed into the mounting hole 2 section 10. On the horizontal portion 10 may indirectly or directly support the kitchen fitting 4 or rest. Incidentally, the inclination of the bevel 7 is at least substantially matched to the inclination of the support section 9.

Bei allen Ausführungsformen der Fig. 1 bis 3 mit Abstützbauteil 8 ist es im übrigen so, daß dieses als umlaufender, einstückiger Rahmen ausgebildet ist. Dieser Rahmen kann einerseits aufgrund des abwärts gerichteten Abstützabschnittes 9 und andererseits aufgrund der korrespondierenden Abschrägung 7 selbsthemmend in die Einbauöffnung 2 eingesetzt werden. Dennoch ist es natürlich auch möglich, den Rahmen als Abstützbauteil 8 mit der Arbeitsplatte 3 zu verkleben und zwar mit einer entsprechenden Klebverbindung zwischen dem Abstützabschnitt 9 und der Abschrägung 7.In all embodiments of the Fig. 1 to 3 with support member 8, it is otherwise so that this is designed as a circumferential, one-piece frame. This frame can be used on the one hand due to the downward support portion 9 and on the other hand due to the corresponding bevel 7 self-locking in the mounting hole 2. Nevertheless, it is of course also possible to bond the frame as a support member 8 with the worktop 3 and that with a corresponding adhesive bond between the support section 9 and the chamfer. 7

Darüber hinaus ist eine stufenlos verstellbare und auf das jeweilige Kücheneinbauteil 4 wirkende Höhenverstelleinrichtung 12 vorgesehen. Die Höhenverstelleinrichtung 12 weist vorliegend eine Mehrzahl von von der Unterseite der Arbeitsplatte 3 her betätigbaren Stellschrauben 13 auf. Die einzelnen Stellschrauben 13 wirken dabei auf ein jeweils gegen das Kücheneinbauteil 4 anliegendes Distanzstück 14. Bei allen Ausführungsformen ist das Distanzstück 14 elastisch. Allerdings ist darauf hinzuweisen, daß das Zwischenstück nicht unbedingt erforderlich ist.In addition, a continuously adjustable and acting on the respective kitchen fitting 4 height adjustment device 12 is provided. The height adjustment device 12 has in the present case a plurality of actuatable from the underside of the worktop 3 forth screws 13. The individual setscrews 13 act on a respectively abutting against the kitchen fitting 4 spacer 14. In all embodiments, the spacer 14 is elastic. However, it should be noted that the intermediate piece is not absolutely necessary.

Korrespondierend zu den Stellschrauben 13 sind im horizontalen Abschnitt 10 des Abstützbauteils 8 eine Mehrzahl von Bohrungen vorgesehen. Hierbei kann es sich um einzelne Bohrungen für selbstschneidende Stellschrauben, um Gewindebohrungen oder um in entsprechende Bohrungen eingesetzte Gewindehülsen handeln. In jedem Falle ist über die Höhenverstelleinrichtung 12 ohne weiteres sowohl eine grobe Höhenverstellung als auch eine Feinjustierung möglich.Corresponding to the screws 13 a plurality of holes are provided in the horizontal portion 10 of the support member 8. These may be individual holes for self-tapping screws, threaded holes or threaded sleeves inserted into corresponding holes. In any case, both a coarse height adjustment and a fine adjustment is possible on the height adjustment 12 readily.

Nicht dargestellt ist, daß der Auflageabschnitt in Form der Abschrägung 7 umlaufend am Rand der Einbauöffnung 2 vorgesehen ist. Korrespondierend zu der umlaufenden Abschrägung 7 ist dann bei den in den Fig. 1 bis 3 dargestellten Ausführungsformen auch der geneigte Abstützabschnitt 9 des als Rahmen ausgebildeten Abstützbauteils 8 umlaufend. Bei dem Rahmen handelt es sich im übrigen um ein einfaches Winkelblech, daß in entsprechender Weise gebogen worden ist.It is not shown that the support section in the form of the chamfer 7 is provided circumferentially at the edge of the mounting hole 2. Corresponding to the circumferential chamfer 7 is then in the in the Fig. 1 to 3 illustrated embodiments, the inclined support portion 9 of the support member formed as a frame 8 circumferentially. Incidentally, the frame is a simple angle plate that has been bent in a corresponding manner.

Bei allen Ausführungsformen handelt es sich bei dem Material der Arbeitsplatte 3 um ein Verbundmaterial mit einer oberen Schicht 15 aus einem harten, insbesondere mineralischen Material wie Granit oder Quarz, und einer unteren Schicht 16, die grundsätzlich aus jeglichem Material zur Unterfütterung bestehen kann. Bevorzugt ist ein Kunststoffmaterial wie Acryl. Es versteht sich, daß die Arbeitsplatte 3 auch nur aus einem Material bestehen kann.In all embodiments, the material of the worktop 3 is a composite material having an upper layer 15 of a hard, in particular mineral material such as granite or quartz, and a lower layer 16, which may in principle be made of any material for relining. Preferred is a plastic material such as acrylic. It is understood that the worktop 3 may consist of only one material.

Im übrigen ist es von Vorteil, daß im eingebauten Zustand zwischen dem Kücheneinbauteil 4 und der Arbeitsplatte 3 ein Spalt 17 vorgesehen ist. In diesen Spalt 17 ist vorliegend Silikon als Dichtmittel 18 eingepreßt. Durch das eingepreßte Dichtmittel 18 ergibt sich eine Klebverbindung zwischen der stirnseitigen Randkante des Kücheneinbauteils 4 und der Arbeitsplatte 3 im Bereich der Einbauöffnung 2. Hierdurch sind jedenfalls bei den dargestellten Ausführungsbeispielen sonstige Befestigungsmittel zur Befestigung des Kücheneinbauteils 4 in der Einbauöffnung 2 bzw. an der Arbeitsplatte 3 nicht erforderlich.Moreover, it is advantageous that in the installed state between the kitchen fitting 4 and the worktop 3, a gap 17 is provided. In this gap 17 in the present case silicone is pressed in as a sealing means 18. The pressed-in sealant 18 results in an adhesive bond between the front edge edge of the kitchen fitting 4 and the worktop 3 in the region of the mounting hole 2. In any case, in the illustrated embodiments, other fastening means for fastening the kitchen fitting 4 in the mounting hole 2 and on the worktop. 3 not mandatory.

Schließlich ist bei den Ausführungsformen gemäß den Fig. 1 und 3 vorgesehen, daß die stirnseitige Randkante des Kücheneinbauteils 4 ebenfalls eine Abschrägung aufweist. Dabei entspricht die Neigung der weiteren Abschrägung der Randkante des Kücheneinbauteils 4 zumindest im wesentlichen der Neigung der Abschrägung 7 des Auflageabschnittes.Finally, in the embodiments according to the Fig. 1 and 3 provided that the front-side edge of the kitchen fitting 4 also has a bevel. In this case, the inclination of the further bevel of the peripheral edge of the kitchen installation part 4 at least substantially corresponds to the inclination of the bevel 7 of the support section.
