Abstract
A foldaway sink pivotally connected to a supporting wall for movement between a retracted position parallel to the supporting wall and a position perpendicular to the supporting wall. The sink is made of fiberglass with a ribbed edge. A drain pipe and a support pipe are disconnectable and releasably attachable to the side of the sink in the retracted position.
Claims10
A foldaway sink comprised of an elongated sink member having a substantially flat central surface, said sink member having a generally rectangular configuration with four side surfaces,
- means on one of said side surfaces for pivotally coupling said one side surface to a vertical base member,
- means defining a drain opening in said central surface and including threaded coupling means disposed below said central surface for attaching a drain pipe,
- a tubular drain pipe with means for releasably attaching to said threaded coupling means,
- first attachment means on said drain pipe and on a side surface of said sink for attachment of said drain pipe to said side surface when said sink is pivoted to a non-use position,
- means defining a blind opening on the bottom surface of said sink member for releasably receiving a support pipe,
- a tubular support pipe receivable in said opening, said support pipe having a second attachment means thereon adapted to cooperate with a second attachment means on a side surface of said sink for attachment of said support pipe to said side surface when said sink is pivoted to said non-use position.
A foldaway sink comprised of an elongated sink member having a substantially flat central surface and a circumferential lip configuration providing a circumferential upwardly facing groove, said sink member having a generally rectangular configuration with four side surfaces,
- means on one of said side surfaces for pivotally coupling said one side surface to a vertical base member,
- means defining a drain opening in said central surface and including threaded coupling means disposed below said central surface for attaching a drain pipe,
- a tubular drain pipe with means for releasably attaching to said threaded coupling means,
- first attachment means on said drain pipe and on a side surface of said sink for attachment of said drain pipe to said side surface when said sink is pivoted to a non-use position,
- means defining a blind opening on the bottom surface of said sink member for releasably receiving a support pipe,
- a tubular support pipe receivable in said opening, said support pipe having a second attachment means thereon adapted to cooperate with a second attachment means on a side surface of said sink for attachment of said support pipe to said side surface when said sink is pivoted to said non-use position.
