Abstract
A jetted laundry/utility/kitchen sink provided with a plurality of water/air jets that introduce a pressurized flow of water/air into the interior of the sink. A motor/pump unit takes water from the interior of the sink, pressurizes the water, and returns the pressurized water to the interior of the sink via the nozzles. A flow diverting formation having a flow re-directing surface assists the nozzles in establishing a sustained circulation pattern within the sink.
Claims14
A jetted sink comprising:
- a sink having at least first, second, and third water jet nozzles in sidewalls thereof to introduce first, second, and third pressurized water jets thereinto;
- a motor-driven pump for accepting water from the sink through an input line, pressurizing that water, and returning that water through an output line to the first, second, and third water jet nozzles for re-introduction into the sink to establish a desired flow pattern within the sink;
- a suction inlet in flow communication with said input line through which water from said sink flows to said motor-driven pump;
- and
- a flow diverter formation associated with the sink to divert flow thereacross to establish a flow pattern within said sink, said flow diverter formation fluidically separating said flow pattern from said suction inlet.
