ABSTRACT In the modern household kitchen, it is common to install a sink in the counter top. Protection must be provided against leakage of water into or below the normally waterproof counter top upper surface. In order to accomplish this, proper contact must be provided between the sink rim and the counter top. The present invention ensures that proper contact is maintained by providing a sink fastening device that is attached to the sink prior to placing the sink in the counter. The sink fastening device is easy to install and may be adjusted to compensate for counter tops of varied thickness. The principle of the fastening device and the location of the fastening bracket result in the application of a shear force to the bracket rather than a twisting or pulling force, thus lessen- ing any tendency for the fastening bracket to become detached from the sink. The bracket has a slot which accommodates a reduced diameter portion of a bolt which is threadably engaged with a claw member. The bolt hangs vertically in the slot and turning the bolt moves the claw up into engagement with the under- side of a counter top whereby force is applied to pull the sink rim down into tight engagement with the top surface of the counter top.
