Kitchen wall cabinet with built-in extractor hood

The present innovation relates to a kitchen wall cabinet with built-in extractor hood.

It is well known that kitchen wall units are fitted with a built-in extractor hood Installed above the hob, maintaining sufficient freedom of movement for the housewife it is necessary to leave a relatively large distance between the hob and the underside of the kitchen wall unit.

As a result, there is also the distance between the extractor hood and the hob correspondingly large, since the extractor hood is in the kitchen wall unit is built in.

This results in the very essential disadvantage, dc3 a very A considerable part of the vapors produced during cooking is not captured by the extractor hood, as it is practically impossible the suction power of the extractor hood should be designed so high that all vapors and fumes generated on the hob be drawn in a targeted manner into the extractor hood arranged at a considerable distance above the hob.

That is why attempts have already been made to use a swing-out Guiding screen at the front of the extractor hood the most effective

7433584-9.1.75

Increasing the catchment area, but this measure only brings a slight improvement in the effect.

In addition, the effect is known in the kitchen wall units built-in extractor hoods are particularly questionable when in the kitchen, for example when it is open Kitchen window, draft occurs, which deflects the vapors and steam to the side and thus almost completely out of the catchment area the extractor hood.

The innovation is therefore based on the task of creating a kitchen top & cabinet to design with built-in extractor hood so that a practically complete with little structural effort Detection of the vapors, fumes, etc. generated at a hotplate is made possible, even if there is a draft in the kitchen prevails.

The solution to this problem is, according to the innovation, that the kitchen wall cabinet with a lowerable vapor screen Is provided.

The advantages achieved with the innovation are above all that the vapor catcher screen is in the immediate vicinity of the Hotplate or until immediately above the pots, pans, etc. standing on the hotplate can be lowered, so that when cooking and frying resulting vapors etc. directly on their The place of origin is recorded and fed to the extractor hood in a targeted manner no longer possible, so that the desired complete suction actually occurs.

The performance of the extractor hood does not need to be designed to be higher than has been the case so far.

The innovation allows the vrase umbrella to be used without further ado also move upwards again, so that if necessary the necessary freedom of movement above the hob is available stands.

Further features and advantages of the innovation result from the following description of the embodiments shown in the drawings. Show it:

Figure 1 is a vertical longitudinal section through a new

appropriate kitchen wall cabinet, Figure 2 shows a cross section through the kitchen wall cabinet gsmäus

Fig. 1,
Figure 3 shows a cross section through a kitchen wall cabinet according to a further embodiment of the innovation.

Fig. 1 shows a kitchen overhead cabinet 1 with a built-in extractor hood 2, which can be used as a drainage device, as shown in FIG the drawing is shown, or designed as a circulating air device can be.

In the interior of the kitchen upper cabinet 1 there is a vapor trap screen, which is held on two opposite sides by a cable 4, which is guided over pulleys 5 and loaded by counterweights 6. Ue counterweights 6 are designed so that the vapor catching screen 3 is in equilibrium in every displacement position determined by the length of the cable 4 ·. A slight lowering or pushing up of the vapor catching screen 3 is thus achieved.

The vapor trap 3 is preferably U-shaped, wherein the open side of the rear wall of the kitchen wall cabinet 1 faces.

On the front of the vapor catching screen 3 is in the lower area a fold-out guide screen 7 is provided, which is rotatable about a horizontally extending pivot axis 8, on this Pivot axis 8 are attached to one or more points of levers 9, which carry weights 10 at their free ends, so that on the guide screen 7 a continuously in Ausrhwenkrichtung acting torque is initiated. This ensures that when lowering the vapor catching screen 3, the guide screen. 7 automatic

table is swiveled forward as soon as the vapor screen 3 is shifted downward so far that the guide screen 7 from the front wall 11 of the kitchen wall cabinet 1 at least is partially released. When pushing up the wYasen screen 3, the guide screen 7 is automatically swiveled in again by the lower edge of the front wall 11, so that special Handles for operating the guide screen 7 are not required are.

As can be seen in particular from FIG. 2, the front wall 11 is at its upper edge around a horizontally running hinge 12 pivotally, it is provided that the front wall 11 by known and therefore not shown in the Zei-shüUugtü locking devices to be able to fix in one or more swivel positions.

Based on the measures described, it is now possible lower the vapor catch screen down so that the underside of the vapor catch screen 3 is immediately above the Cooking area is located, whereby to a certain extent a chimney beginning directly above the cooking area up to the extractor hood 2 is formed is a complete and safe way of supplying the vapors and fumes generated during cooking and roasting to the extractor hood 3 causes. Through the swiveled-out guide screen 7, the effective draw-in area of the vase catching tube 3 is also provided enlarged so that even if there is a draft in the kitchen, the vapors and steams are fully captured .

Is the one between the hob and the underside of the kitchen wall unit 1 available space is required to carry out the necessary work on the hob, is the? Wra3en umbrella simple pushed away upwards, which due to the cable 4 with the Counterweights 6 is completely effortless. This means that even with the steam trapping 3 completely pushed to the boil, it is as large as possible effective catchment area for the extractor hood 2 is achieved,

the front wall 11 of the kitchen cabinet 1 can be 'specific Measure to the front and be fixed in this position.

The guide screen 7 is preferably made of a transparent plastic manufactured, so that "when the vapor trap screen is lowered a view of the almost completely covered hotplate is possible.

In Fig. 3, an embodiment of the innovation is shown at that of the vapor shield 3 by an electric motor 13 which engages a threaded piece 15 fastened to the vapor shield 3 Spindle 14 drives, can be raised and lowered.

In the Ausfühxungsbeispiel the innovation shown in Fig. 3 it is also shown that the automatic pivoting of the guide screen 7 can be achieved about its horizontal pivot axis 8 by one or more shaped springs 16, which on the inside of the vapor catching screen 3 are attached and the guide screen Load 7 in its pivoting direction.

Of course, the innovation is not limited to that in the drawings Embodiments shown are limited as it is possible and it is conceivable to have other holding and displacement devices for the vapor catching screen 3 than those shown in the drawings to be provided, as it is also conceivable not to arrange the vapor catching screen 3 in the interior of the kitchen upper level 1, but to design this vase shield 3 as a hood enclosing the kitchen Oberschraak 1 from the outside.
