Small kitchen appliance line

The invention relates to a small kitchen appliance line with at least two small kitchen appliances that can be placed side by side in a row, such as toaster, coffee maker, egg cooker, etc.

The small kitchen appliances mentioned, including non-electrical appliances such as scales, slicers and bread boxes can take up table space and storage space when they are used. The cable connections are annoying and the transport problem is a nuisance.

j The one that became known according to Austrian patent specification 259 157 Small kitchen appliances combined into ■ a desk or The row of bars on a sideboard or table is already there j more advantageous; but it will be the one measured as necessary Working table depth reduced by the depth of the device desk. J Flour, crumbs, fat and food can obscure the front of the appliance clean. The ease of use suffers as a result of slight adjustment j of the devices. It is also excluded that below the devices devices can be attached.

Of particular concern, and since _w ith an object of the invention is that when creating a modular moderate Küchenkle total councils line behind a long work table space location moderate agreement with the coexistence of operations at the table is possible. A tightly packed side by side of devices can therefore be inexpedient.

The object of the invention is therefore to create possibilities which allow an interruption or line extension through empty storage compartments, compartments for spices, eszenzen or the like. A satisfactory solution is only achieved when the locations and functions are genuinely related to the workplace, as is also shown in comparison with furniture carcass elements, with stove, refrigerator, oven and dishwasher being separable by cabinet elements ^]. :

This is achieved according to the invention in that mounting plates are provided for the use of small kitchen appliances, the Provide mounting plates with an electrical installation and, starting from a power plug, connect them to each other through plug connections are connected. The mounting plate is also provided with a power take-off that engages in the small kitchen appliance. This means that the devices can be assembled as desired achieved. At the same time, the compartments can be used as empty compartments without the power being interrupted. There is no need for any electrical installation - there is only one socket at the beginning or in the overlap area of the small device row necessary. ;

In a further embodiment of the invention, the mounting plate is designed as a rear wall for the small kitchen appliance. To the simple Installation of the kitchen appliance, the mounting plate is removed from the appliance and screwed to the kitchen wall. It understands that the installation space known as the kitchen wall also

the wall plate of a room divider can be and that there is no wall cupboard above it, but, if necessary There is even a hatch or a hatch behind the top edge of the device Bar table top is provided. The small kitchen appliance is on its rear part at the lower end with a hook-in and provided at the upper end with a fastening device for quick assembly.

For connection of coffee machine, egg boiler, water heater etc. can be part of the mounting plates with a water supply be provided.

In order to get the full table surface depth under the devices, the mounting plate is attached to a kitchen wall at a distance from the horizontal: work surface of kitchen furniture. At the mounting plates further holding devices may be provided for \ other accessories Large. It is thus possible through this training of the mounting plates that under the; Devices, additional containers and accessories can be attached. For this purpose, containers for emptying the devices, crumb collection containers, fold-out grill elements or the like are available. In addition, cooking and warming plates can be provided that are vertical in retirement and can be folded down into a horizontal operating position.

The inventive design of a small kitchen appliance line brings the main advantage, the free reversibility of the individual devices without any assembly work on the electrical installation and the simplest handling of the devices themselves. It is It is possible to provide empty compartments without interrupting the current flow. An extension of the small kitchen appliance line is easy. Due to the preferred form of attachment, there is enough space under the devices for collapsible containers, for example for crumbs * -

emptying the toaster, or for inserting the coffee filter funnel under the coffee grinder or an ejection for the egg boiler.

An embodiment of the invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the drawing. Show it:

1 shows a plan view of two mounting plates, FIG. 2 shows a section along the line II - II in FIG. 1, j Fig. 3 shows an example of the assembly of the small kitchen appliance on the mounting plate and I. j 4 shows the allocation of the kitchen accessories line in the side view (cut) to other kitchen furniture. i

A mounting plate 1, this is the first! The mounting plate of the small kitchen appliance line has a power connection 2, which is connected to the connector 3 and 4 via the line 5 is connected, provided. Another line 6 leads from the connecting plug 3 to the power take-off 7. The power take-off 7 consists of a socket into which a plug 8 of a small kitchen appliance 9 engages. The cable routing from the mains connection 2 to the individual plugs 3, 4 and 7 can of course be made in any order. The small kitchen appliance 9 is on its lower end 10 with a suspension device 11 and on The upper end 12 is provided with a fastening device 13. With the suspension device 11, the small device 9 is accordingly 3 hung in an angle 14 on the mounting plate 1. The angle 14 can run through or be interrupted over the entire length of the mounting plate. The fastening device 13 After the small kitchen appliance 9 has been pivoted upward, overlaps a fastening frame 16 of the mounting plate 1 in the direction of the arrow 15. A reverse arrangement, i.e. suspension device above and fastening device below, is of course also possible.

This fastening frame 16 is provided with elements for connecting the two components 13 and 16. This can be done by screw connections or resilient latching of knob-like devices. The mounting plate 1 is fastened to the kitchen wall 18 by screws 17. After assembly, the _; The first mounting plate 1 already gives the exact definition of the next mounting plate 19 through the plug connection 4, 20, 3. For this purpose, it is only necessary to insert the adapter plug 20 in the direction of arrow 21 into the connector 4 and then to push in the mounting plate 19 in the direction of arrow 22. Then it is also screwed to the rear wall or kitchen wall 18.

The mounting plates 1, 19, etc. are expediently carried out according to a basic grid with a fixed dimension and a whole multiple of this dimension, so that it is easily possible to use the small Küdien devices in different dimensions; manufacture. This simplifies interchangeability even further. It is also useful, for manufacturing reasons, to provide each mounting plate with a hole 24 for the mains connection. The water can now be supplied ^: likewise through the mounting plate or from the area 25 of the kitchen wall 18. |

In Fig. 4, the spatial arrangement of the small kitchen appliance line 26 is shown in the kitchen wall cross-section. A worktop of kitchen furniture is identified by 27. The mounting plate is attached to the kitchen wall 18 or a room divider or a kitchen bar counter at a distance 28 from this worktop 27.
