A sink assembly is disclosed that has a separate rim and basin made of different materials. The basin has a flange surrounding a bowl that is exposed under the rim to form an accessible ledge. A glass-filled polyester resin is injected into a mold adjacent the underside of the rim member and the flange. The polyester resin bonds with the rim member and prevents the basin from moving relative to the rim member.

Sink assembly

Handle

The present invention contemplates a decorated laminate comprising a unitary, heat and pressure cured layered structure having non-skid surface comprising a thermoplastic urethane elastomer layer.

Non-skid laminated sheet

The present invention contemplates a method of manufacturing a laminated sheet having a non-skid surface. In a preferred embodiment a method of manufacturing a decorated unitary laminated tray having a thermoplastic non-skid layer is disclosed.

Method of production of a non-skid laminated sheet

A decorative fitting having an internal layer as well as a method of fabricating it are disclosed. Preferably, the color layer is a very thin color wall dimensioned so that when it is viewed at one angle it gives the appearance of being a solid wall, yet when it is viewed at another angle it is substantially transparent. To make the color wall, one preferably forms a frame on a first substantially transparent panel such that the frame projects out from the first panel surface. One then abuts a second substantially transparent panel against the frame so as to form a color material insert cavity point, one injects a flowable colored material/adhesive mixture into the cavity and permits the colored adhesive to harden and bind the panel walls together. Thereafter, one cuts the transparent panels into a multiplicity of handle components by cutting the walls along lines partially transverse to the color layer. This forms multiple handle components which are a sandwich of the walls with the color layer in between.
