Definitions
- the present invention relates to work tops for household appliances.
- the work top used for household appliances, particularly for dish washers and washing machines, is for aesthetic purposes and for its load carrying feature, but does not have any functional characteristics. The only function it provides is to protect the components in the machine against external factors, although it constitutes an important cost item as it is placed on the top of the machine and draws the user's attention.
- the object of the present invention is to realize a more functional work top for the household appliances.
- Figure 1 is the perspective view of the household appliance with a work top
- Figure 2 is the perspective view of the household appliance with a work top when the work top is separated from the appliance;
- Figure 3 is the perspective view of a washing machine with a work top comprising detergent loading and storing compartments
- Figure 4 is the perspective view of a refrigerator with a work top comprising storage compartments
- Figure 5 is the perspective view of a dishwasher with a work top comprising storage units in the form of recesses;
- Figure 6 is the perspective view of a dishwasher with a work top comprising storage units in the form of recesses wherein cutlery drawers are placed;
- Figure 7 is the exploded view of a work top comprising storage units in the form of cutlery drawer;
- Figure 8 is the perspective view of a worktop comprising a storage unit that is made movable by means of rollers and rails;
- Figure 9 is the perspective view of a work top comprising a storage unit that can be opened/closed by a sliding lid;
- Figure 10 is the perspective view of a work top comprising a storage unit that can be opened/closed by an accordion lid;
- Figure 11 is the perspective view of a work top comprising a cooking unit and a storage unit that moves laterally taking a hinge as the axis of rotation;
- Figure 12 is the perspective view of a work top comprising a storage unit with a hinged lid;
- Figure 13 is the perspective view of a household appliance comprising various storage units.
- the household appliance for instance a washing machine, a refrigerator, a dishwasher, etc., wherein the present invention is used, comprises a work top (2) and a cabinet (10).
- the work top (2) can be produced as monoblbc together with the cabinet ( 10) or independently from said cabinet (10).
- the work top (2) comprises at least one storage unit (3) and the height of the work top (2) is preferably more than the standard height in order to provide the storage unit (3) with more functionality.
- Said work top, according to the invention, is preferably used for the household appliances which are not built-in and which are independent units.
- the storage unit (3) is used as a multi-purpose unit, for instance, in case when said household appliance (1) is a dishwasher, said storage unit (3) is used as a cutlery drawer and outside the machine, it is used as a dish-rack for drying the dishes and glasses; in case said household appliance (1) is a washing machine, it is used for storing detergents ⁇ cleaning substances, laundry, etc.
- the upper surface of the work top (2) is coated with an anti-slip material, in order to enhance its functionality.
- the storage unit (3) is in the form of recesses formed on the surface of the work top.
- the work top (2) comprises a recess (4) wherein the storage unit (3) is placed.
- the recess (4) is in the form of depressed zones formed on the upper surface of the work top (2) and/or any opening on the lateral surface of the work top. Said recess (4) is also used for storage purposes.
- the work top upper surface is provided with more functionality for the benefit of the user, by using various storage units (3) in line with the shape and dimensions of the depressed zones formed on the surface e.g. in case the household appliance is a dish washer, these storage units (3) may be used as dish/glass racks, cutting board, and containers.
- the movement and mounting of the storage unit (3) in the recess (4) are performed by using various methods.
- the work top (2) comprises grooves (11) and profiles (12) located in the recess (4) and / or in the storage unit (3).
- the storage units (3) can move in the recess (4) by virtue of the profiles (12) fitted into the grooves (11).
- said work top (2) comprises rollers (8) and rails (7) located on the storage unit (3). Said rollers (8) and rails (7) facilitate the movement of the storage unit (3) in the recess (4).
- said work top (2) comprises a hinge (6) to be used for attaching the storage unit (3) to the recess (4).
- Said hinge (6) connects one edge of the front face of the storage unit (3) with one edge of the recess (4) and the storage unit (3) is opened by using the hinge (6) as the pivoting axis.
- said work top (2) comprises a lid (5) which covers the recess (4) and / or the storage unit (3).
- Said lid (5) has different forms and opening / closing mechanisms.
- said lid (5) is attached to the work top (2) by means of a hinge (6).
- said lid (5) is opened by folding like an accordion.
