Patent ID: 11454011

Abstract:
A connecting element (1) is provided for fastening a sink (10) to a worktop (20), which worktop has a cutout (21) for inserting the sink, which cutout has a peripheral boundary surface (22). The connecting element has: a base body (2) serving as a bearing part for bearing against the sink; at least one spring part (3.1-3.8) which projects from the base body on a first side and which is designed, under loading in the direction of the base body, to produce a spring force which acts away from the base body; and at least one anchoring part which projects from the base body on a second side thereof situated opposite to the first side and which is designed to engage in a slot-shaped recess (15) in the sink. An engagement direction of the anchoring part extends substantially approximately antiparallel to a direction of the spring force.
