Sink lining system and method therefor

Abstract

A removable protective liner has a thin sheet of non-absorbent, flexible material. The liner is used for lining the sink. A drain hole liner is formed in the thin sheet. The drain hole liner extends down from the thin sheet to cover an area of the drain hole leading down to the drain pipe. A first tab member extends from the thin sheet. The first tab member is used for covering a first area around the sink.

       10 . A removable protective liner for use with a sink in accordance with  claim 7  wherein the drain hole liner comprises a circular cut-out.  
   
   
       11 . A removable protective liner for use with a sink in accordance with  claim 7  wherein the first tab member has a plurality of faucet hole perforations to allow the first flap portion to be fitted over the faucet.  
   
   
       12 . A removable protective liner for use with a sink in accordance with  claim 11  wherein the first tab member has a plurality of knob hole perforations to allow the first flap portion to be fitted over knobs of the faucet.  
   
   
       13 . A removable protective liner for use with a sink in accordance with  claim 7  wherein the thin sheet of non-absorbent, flexible material, for lining the sink is one of: metallized polyester film, aluminum foil, tin foil, plastic wrap, or the like.  
   
   
       14 . A removable protective liner for use with a sink in accordance with  claim 7  wherein the thin sheet of non-absorbent, flexible material, for lining the sink comprises a plurality of thin sheets coupled togther to form a roll, wherein each thin sheet will have a perforation located along an edge of the thin sheet to separate the thin sheet from an adjoining thin sheet.  
   
   
       15 . A removable protective liner for use with a sink comprising: 
 a thin sheet of non-absorbent, flexible material, for lining the sink;    a first tab member extending from the thin sheet for covering a faucet area of the sink;    a second tab member for covering a neck rest support of the sink;    a drain hole cover to be placed in a drain hole area of the sink, a bottom opening in the drain hole cover aligned with the drain pipe; and    a drain hole liner formed in the thin sheet, the drain hole liner extending down from the thin sheet to cover an area of the drain hole cover.    
   
   
       16 . A removable protective liner for use with a sink in accordance with  claim 15  wherein the drain hole liner comprises a plurality of drain hole perforations, the plurality of perforations running from have an outer perimeter towards a central area of the thin sheet, wherein applying pressure to the plurality of perforations will cause the drain hole liner to extend down from the thin sheet to cover an area of the drain hole cover.  
   
   
       17 . A removable protective liner for use with a sink in accordance with  claim 15  wherein the first tab member has a plurality of faucet hole perforations to allow the first flap portion to be fitted over the faucet.
