One or more openings with lids on the kitchen worktop, in particular the washbasin countertop

The invention relates to one or more openings provided in the kitchen worktop, in particular in the washbasin, with lids, the purpose of which is to facilitate the transfer of loose material, in particular waste, to a space or container reserved for it under the worktop or especially the washbasin.

Such an opening with a lid is known, for example, from DE patent 23 56 455, 33 13 366, 34 10 103, 34 37 033, 35 01 443 and 35 35 422 and from Finnish patent application 880 308 (priority DE 37 01 893).

The lid according to DE 33 13 366 is articulated to the washbasin and opens when a separate, also articulated, waste basin articulates partially below it. It is difficult to use such a lid without an associated waste basin, especially when it opens only 80 °. * · In relation to the horizontal and thus does not remain open at all. In addition, its use in a non-intended worktop washbasin is almost impossible.

DE patent publications 34 10 103, 34 37 033, 35 01 433 and 35 35 422 as well as the Finnish patent application * · 880 308 all present the same solution concerning the waste opening in the washbasin. In these solutions, the · *. * ·· opening is provided with a detachable cover which is difficult to open with greasy hands and which is difficult to find; f; a suitable location with the opening uncovered.

DE-A-2 86026 23 56 455 discloses various cover options, the aim of which, however, is to increase the landing space and cover the pool part and not to easily close the opening through the table top, as in our solution.

The object of the invention is to facilitate the use of the lid (s) opening (s) in the worktop or washtop by articulating the lid to the guide collar and providing the joint with a spring and collar latches, thus avoiding loose lid placement difficulties and substantially facilitating opening and closing of the lid greasy.

This object is achieved by the invention on the basis of the features of the invention set out in the appended claims.

In the following, an embodiment of the invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which

Figure 1 shows two openings in the washbasin plane with their lids and collars, of which one lid with its collars has been lifted from the opening

Figure 2 shows the lid and collar with its articulation and springs.

In Fig. 1, the left collar (5) with the lid (2) connected to it by a pair of hinges (4) is placed in the opening (3) of the washing table level (1) and the other is raised above the opening, indicating easy removal of the cover and collar from the opening. Figure 2 shows the collar (5) and the cover (2) separately with the cover (2) open, the pair of joints (4) and the pair of springs (16) causing the opening moment of the cover and the latch (7) holding the cover in the collar (5) ) are clearly visible. When the cover (2) is closed, when pressed down, the protrusion in the latch (7) keeps the cover closed, and when the latch (7) is pressed, the cover (2) is released behind the protrusion by the force of the spring (6) to the open position. It is also very easy to open the lid (2) with greasy hands by pressing the latch (7) with the palm of your hand, the knuckle or the outer edge of your little finger, for example, and to close the lid (2) by pressing the lid itself.

The combination of the collar (5) and the lid (2) with its joint bracket (4) and springs (6) and latches (7) can be placed as well in an opening made in the washbasin lid as in an opening sawn on a laminate surface or even a stone plane. For washing or other maintenance, the collar with the lid is easy to lift, remove it from the opening, and also wash in the dishwasher.
