SINK AND METHOD OF INSTALLING SAME
We propose a method of installing a sink (1) in a worktop cut-out (11 a), comprising: a) providing a sink (1) made at least partly from a resin-compound material, with: at least one bowl (2) with a bottom wall (3) and a circumferential side wall (4); at least one outlet opening located in said bottom wall (3); a circumferential rim (5) located at an upper edge of said bowl (2) around an outside thereof, said rim (5) extending outwardly from said side wall (4) by an extent (E); a number of resilient clamping elements (6) arranged on the outside of said bowl (2) adjacent said rim (5), which clamping elements (6), in a free or uncompressed state thereof, extend outwardly beyond the extent (E) of said rim (5), and which clamping elements (6) are devised for providing, in a loaded or compressed state thereof, a clamping force outwardly from said side wall (4), at least some of said clamping elements (6) being attached to the sink in respective recesses (R) arranged in said side wall (4) or in a transition region between said side wall (4) and said rim (5); b) making said worktop cut-out (11a), it being larger in dimension than an area circumscribed by said rim (5) but smaller than an envelope around said clamping elements (6) in their uncompressed state while defining a cut-out side wall (11 b) extending essentially at right angles with respect to an upper surface (11 d) and a lower surface of said worktop (11); c) placing said sink (1) in said cut-out (11 a) so that said cut-out side wall (11 b) is located opposite said rim (5), said sink (1) being centered within said cut-out (11a) by means of said clamping elements (6), which are compressed between said cut-out side wall (11 b) and said sink (1).
