Abstract: An assembly process for assembling a basin using a molding tool operable between an open position and a closed position, the molding tool having a female molding insert, a male molding insert, and an insert jig, the female molding insert and the male molding insert cooperating to define a mold cavity when the molding tool is in the closed position, the female molding insert having an aperture, the insert jig having a sleeve and a cylinder, the cylinder repositionable within the sleeve and having an end with an end face and a pin protruding from the end face, includes applying adhesive to the pin. The assembly process also includes aligning the pin with an aperture of a basin rim insert. The assembly process also includes pressing the basin rim insert towards the end face such that the pin is received within the aperture of the basin rim insert.

Abstract: A sink includes a front wall, a first side wall, and a second side wall. The front wall includes an inner surface that defines part of a basin of the sink, and an outer surface located opposite the inner surface that is configured to be exposed in front of an opening of a cabinet in which the sink is installed. The front wall includes first and second lateral portions that extend outwardly past the first and second side walls. The first and second lateral portions of the front wall are configured to at least partially overlap a front face of the cabinet adjacent the opening, so as to substantially conceal the opening when the sink is installed thereto.

Abstract: A self-rimming sink is provided. The self-rimming sink includes a basin and a rim extending outwardly from an upper end of the basin in a relatively horizontal orientation. The rim is configured to be placed on top of a countertop for supporting the sink. The self-rimming sink also includes an apron coupled to the rim and defining a front portion of the sink. The apron has a front surface extending vertically below the rim and laterally between a first side surface and an opposite second side surface. The first and second side surfaces each having a front vertical lip that extends laterally to an outer periphery of the rim and a rear side wall portion. The rear side wall portion is recessed relative to the front vertical lip and the outer periphery of the rim.

Abstract: An undermount, apron-front sink is provided. The sink includes a basin, a ledge, a rim coupled with the basin, an upper portion, and an apron. The basin includes a first side wall, an opposite second side wall, a front wall, and a rear wall. The ledge is supported at and extends outwardly from an upper end of one of the front wall and the rear wall of the basin. The rim is supported at and extends outwardly from the basin in a substantially horizontal orientation to form a continuous planar surface that is configured to be mounted abutting an underside of a horizontal countertop. The upper portion extends between the ledge and the one of the front wall and the rear wall. The apron is coupled with the basin and includes a right end portion, a left end portion, a front face, and a rear face.
