Description

Technical area

The present invention relates to a mounting system for mounting a detachably attachable to a wall housing of an extractor hood according to the preamble of claim 1 (= US 2006/0042622 ) and a method for mounting a housing for releasably attachable to a wall housing according to the preamble of claim 13.

State of the art

As in 6 As shown, mounting systems for mounting wall-mountable cooker hood housings typically include at least one bracket to be screwed to the wall 100 ' and screws, by means of which the side walls 240 . 250 the housing on the previously bolted to the wall bracket 100 ' be attached. Such mounting systems are for example from the publications JP 20042052179 A such as DE 20 2004 000 169 U1 (see in particular 1 of the DE 20 2004 000 169 U1 ) known. A disadvantage of these mounting systems that usually two people are required for installation, namely a person to hold the case and a person to tighten the side walls. The screws are visible from the outside of the housing, which on the one hand affects the appearance of the housing and on the other hand makes it difficult to clean, since the screws are a hindrance during wiping.

In one from the publication US Pat. No. 6,470,880 B1 known mounting system, the back of a Kamingehäuses is welded to a positioning device. This positioning device has two recesses 211 on that in hooks 221 a mounted on the wall mounting plate can be hung (see. 3 and column 2, lines 31 to 42, the US Pat. No. 6,470,880 B1 ). However, this mounting system is very complex due to its complex construction.

alternative is known by the company Miele a mounting system in which the pages of the housing by bending and snapping at one Carrier system, so by clipping the housing be attached to the carrier system. However, this assumes that the sides of the housing made of elastic material are.

A mounting system according to the preamble of claim 1 is from the document US 2006/0042622 A1 known. In this mounting system, the housing is fixed instead of screws by means of retaining clips on a previously screwed to the wall mounting bracket (see, in particular 12 and paragraph [0050]). In this case, a pair of retaining clips are arranged on the sides of the mounting bracket and on the inner side surfaces of a Kamingehäuses that lock in contact with each other and hold the chimney in the predetermined position. However, these retaining clips can be damaged, for example during transport of the housing. If the clamps are firmly attached to the inside of the housing, the entire enclosure must be replaced if the clamps are damaged. Also, the mounting by means of retaining clips requires care and sensitivity, so that the retaining clips correctly lock together.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION: Problem, Solution, advantages

outgoing from the disadvantages and shortcomings set out above and in appreciation of the state of the art outlined The present invention is based on the object, a mounting system according to the type mentioned at the beginning and a procedure in accordance with the type mentioned at the beginning, that simplifies the assembly compared to the prior art becomes. Here, the mounting system as a hidden attachment or concealed Suspension, so without elements in the field of view formed be.

Best way to execute the invention

• – einem an einer nicht dargestellten Wand befestigbaren Montagebügel 100 und
• – einem am Montagebügel lösbar befestigbaren Gehäuse 200, nämlich einem Kamingehäuse, einer über einer ebenfalls nicht dargestellten Kochstelle anordbaren Dunstabzugshaube

gezeigt. Dabei kann das Kamingehäuse 200 beispielsweise als innen und außen teleskopierbarer Wandkanal ausgebildet sein.I'm referring 1 illustrated embodiment of the present invention is a mounting system with

• - An attachable to a wall, not shown mounting bracket 100 and
• - A releasably attachable to the mounting bracket housing 200 , Namely a Kamingehäuse, a can be arranged on a likewise not shown cooking hob extractor hood

shown. In this case, the Kamingehäuse 200 For example, be designed as internally and externally telescoping wall channel.

For mounting the wall channel 200 First, the mounting bracket 100 attached to the wall. For this purpose, the mounting bracket 100 wall elements which can be arranged on the wall 110 each with a recess formed as a borehole. By means of these holes, the mounting bracket 100 be attached to the wall, for example by means of screws.

Subsequently, at the back 220 of the wall channel 200 arranged recesses 210 (see eg. 2 . 3 . 4 ) passing through slots 210 in back wall areas 222 . 224 of the housing 200 are formed on each side of the mounting bracket 100 arranged holding elements 120 postponed.

The holding elements 120 are wing-like, perpendicular to the wall elements 110 wegerstreckende areas of the mounting bracket 100 for hanging the case 200 serve on the wall. In detail, the slots 210 the back of the case 220 on holding wings 120 of the mounting bracket 100 hooked.

The Kamingehäuse 200 can be mounted for both extract air and recirculation extractor hoods. For the recirculation mode are on the side walls 240 . 250 arranged exhaust openings 244 . 254 arranged in the area facing away from the hob, so above. For the exhaust operation, the exhaust openings 244 . 254 in contrast, in the cooking area facing the area, ie below, arranged and possibly closed by a cover plate. Thus the Kamingehäuse 200 both with top and bottom arranged exhaust openings 244 . 254 can be mounted, it has both in the upper and in the lower part of its rear wall 220 in the holding wings 120 of the mounting bracket 100 hinged slots 210 on (cf. 1 ).

To prevent scratching the ceiling when mounting the housing, the top facing the ceiling runs 126 the retaining wing 120 diagonally to the horizontal. In this case, the height H1 of the holding element 120 at his from the wall element 110 opposite end less than the height H2 of the retaining element 120 at his the wall element 110 facing end (see. 4 ).

Furthermore, the mounting bracket 100 a mounting aid area 140 on that the distance of the slots 210 to the upper end 230 or lower end 232 of the fireplace house 200 displays.
