Abstract

The door of a dish washer is fitted with a finishing panel, using a device comprising hinges having two plates. One of the plates attaches to the door, and the other to the panel. The two plates are joined by a hinge pivot, and their opening angle is limited, so that on opening the machine, the finishing panel moves slightly away from the door, and its lower edge is transferred into the recessed zone at the base of the machine. In the closed position, the panel is held against the door by springs. The springs provide a method for compensating for the weight of the door panels. The springs contain a series of hooks each of which can be selected for attaching to the predetermined part of the door.

Description

La présente invention se réfère à un dispositif pour appliquer des panneaux de finissage à la porte d'une machine à laver la vaisselle.The present invention relates to a device for applying finishing panels to the door of a dishwasher.

Dans le derniers temps est survenue l'habitude d'incorporer les machines à laver la vaisselle dans des ensembles de meubles pour la cuisine;cela a posé le problème de l'unification esthétique entre les machines et les autres meubles, de sorte qu'aujourd'hui on demande souvent que la porte de la machine soit prédisposée pour recevoir, de la part d'un fabricant de meubles, l'application de panneaux de finissage qui suivent le plus possible la ligne des meubles adjacents. En plus de la possibilité d'appliquer des panneaux de couleur, dessin et aspect différents, cela implique aussi que la porte de la machine peut recevoir un petit panneau supérieur, correspondant à la zone où sont disposés les organes de commande, auquel on doit donner une hauteur (non unifiée) correspondante à celle des tiroirs des meubles adjacents, et un panneau plus étendu qui couvre la plus grande partie de la porte, et qui doit commencer supérieurement immédiatement au dessous du panneau supérieur et se prolonger vers le bas jusqu'à la hauteur, par rapport au parquet, à laquelle se terminent les portes ou les panneaux des meubles proches; même cette hauteur n'est pas unifiée. Le problème exposé n'est résolu que partiellement dans les cas où la porte présente un cadre dans lequel on introduit un mince panneau; la présence visible du cadre rend inacceptable la solution dans les ameublements de plus grande valeur. Avec l'exigence, pour les ameublements de plus grande valeur, de pouvoir appliquer des panneaux épais et sans cadre, se pose aussi le problème de permettre au panneau de plus grande extension une certaine mobilité par rapport à la porte, puisque il résulte impossible,de faire tourner le panneau auvour du même axe des charnières de la porte.In recent times there has been the habit of incorporating dishwashing machines into sets of kitchen furniture; this has posed the problem of aesthetic unification between machines and other furniture, so that today 'hui it is often asked that the machine door is predisposed to receive, from a furniture manufacturer, the application of finishing panels that follow as much as possible the line of adjacent furniture. In addition to the possibility of applying panels of different color, design and appearance, this also implies that the machine door can receive a small upper panel, corresponding to the area where the control elements are arranged, to which one must give a height (not unified) corresponding to that of the drawers of the adjacent furniture, and a larger panel which covers most of the door, and which must begin immediately above the top panel and extend down to the height above the floor at which the doors or panels of nearby furniture end; even this height is not unified. The problem explained is only partially solved in cases where the door has a frame into which a thin panel is introduced; the visible presence of the frame makes the solution in more valuable furnishings unacceptable. With the requirement, for higher value furnishings, to be able to apply thick and frameless panels, there is also the problem of allowing the panel of greater extension a certain mobility relative to the door, since it results impossible, rotate the panel around the same axis of the door hinges.

Selon un système qui a été déjà proposé, le panneau supérieur qui porte les commandes peut recevoir inférieurement un ou plusieurs listeaux pour arriver à la même hauteur des tiroirs des meubles proches, et le panneau qui couvre la porte est monté par charnières, indépendamment de la porte, sur la structure de la machine, il est pourvu de ressorts qui le rappellent en position de fermeture, en le tenant en contact avec la porte, et coopère avec un système de leviers qui, à l'ouverture de la porte, éloignent d'elle lé panneau en lui permettant ensuite de glisser sur le petit panneau supérieur pendant le progrès de l'ouverture. Avec ce système, le petit panneau supérieur peut certes être approprié à la hauteur des tiroirs, mais il n'en continue pas correctement la ligne esthétique; le panneau plus grand peut être complètement approprié à la ligne des meubles, mais au prix de graves complications constructives; et, en outre, le fait que le panneau plus grand doit glisser sur le petit panneau supérieur pendant l'ouverture de la porte pose des limites à la possibilité d'installer sur le petit panneau supérieur une poignée pour commander l'ouverture de la porte.According to a system which has already been proposed, the upper panel which carries the controls can receive one or more strips below to reach the same height of the drawers of the nearby furniture, and the panel which covers the door is mounted by hinges, independently of the door, on the structure of the machine, it is provided with springs which recall it in the closed position, keeping it in contact with the door, and cooperates with a system of levers which, when the door is opened, move away from 'she lé panel allowing it then to slide on the small upper panel during the progress of the opening. With this system, the small upper panel can certainly be suitable for the height of the drawers, but it does not properly continue the aesthetic line; the larger panel may be completely suitable for the furniture line, but at the cost of serious constructive complications; and, moreover, the fact that the larger panel must slide on the small upper panel during the opening of the door places limits on the possibility of installing on the small upper panel a handle for controlling the opening of the door .

Le but de la présente invention est celui de réaliser un dispositif pour appliquer des panneaux de finissage à la porte d'une machine à laver la vaisselle qui consente, avec un minimum de complexité constructive, d'adapter complètement, soit comme dimensions que comme ligne, les panneaux de finissage de la machine aux caractéristique des meubles adjacents, et qui permet en outre l'installation de la poignée de manoeuvre dans une position aisée sur le petit panneau supérieur de la porte.The object of the present invention is to provide a device for applying finishing panels to the door of a dishwashing machine which, with a minimum of constructive complexity, consents to adapt completely, both as dimensions and as lines , the finishing panels of the machine with the characteristic of adjacent furniture, and which also allows the installation of the operating handle in an easy position on the small upper panel of the door.

Selon la présente invention, ce but est atteint principalement par le fait que le dispositif pour l'application des panneaux de finissage à la porte comprend des moyens à charnières,chacun avec deux plaques, une intérieure applicable ou intégrale à la porte de la machine et l'autre extérieure destinée à recevoir l'application d'un panneau, ces deux plaques étant reliées entre elles par un pivot de charnière placé dans leur partie supérieure,et étant pourvues de moyens pour limiter l'angle d'ouverture réciproque.According to the present invention, this object is achieved mainly by the fact that the device for applying the finishing panels to the door comprises hinged means, each with two plates, an interior applicable or integral with the door of the machine and the other exterior intended to receive the application of a panel, these two plates being interconnected by a hinge pivot placed in their upper part, and being provided with means for limiting the reciprocal opening angle.

Grâce a cette caractéristique, le panneau plus grand appliqué à la porte de la machine peut être limité supérieurement et inférieurement aux correspondantes hauteurs des portes des meubles adjacents, et son extrémité supérieure ne se déplace pas par rapport à la porte, ainsi permettant la libre application d'une poignée de manoeuvre, tandis que l'extre- mité inférieure s'écarte légèrment de la porte pendant l'ouverture et se place librement dans la cavité du socle de la machine, dont la hauteur n'a pas besoin d'être mise en accord avec la hauteur de la cavité du socle des autres meubles adjacents. En outre,le panneau étant relié à la porte prés de son extrémité supérieure, il ne demande aucun ressort spécial de rappel en position de fermeture et il est rappelé par les mêmes ressorts de rappel de la porte, opportunément dimensionnés. On réalise ainsi un fonctionnement sûr et correct avec une remarquable simplicité constructive.Thanks to this feature, the larger panel applied to the machine door can be limited above and below the corresponding heights of the doors of adjacent furniture, and its upper end does not move relative to the door, thus allowing the free application of an operating handle, while the lower end deviates slightly from the door during opening and is freely placed in the cavity of the base of the machine, the height of which does not need to be brought into line with the height of the cavity of the base of the other adjacent furniture. In addition, the panel being connected to the door near its upper end, it does not require any special return spring in the closed position and it is returned by the same return springs of the door, suitably sized. This ensures safe and correct operation with remarkable constructive simplicity.

Préférablement, lesdits moyens de limitation de l'angle d'overture des moyens à charnières comprennent aussi des ressorts de rappel vers la position de fermeture des moyens à charnières.Preferably, said means for limiting the opening angle of the hinged means also include return springs towards the closed position of the hinged means.

Ces ressorts, qui produisent seulement la fermeture des moyens à charnières, et non pas du panneau, peuvent avoir une force de rappel et une course minimale, et leur prix de revient n'est pas comparable à celui de ressorts de rappel du panneau. Ils assurent une adhérence du panneau à la porte sans possibilité de battements ou vibrations, en position de fermeture.These springs, which produce only the closing of the hinged means, and not of the panel, can have a return force and a minimum stroke, and their cost price is not comparable to that of return springs of the panel. They ensure adhesion of the panel to the door without the possibility of beating or vibrations, in the closed position.

Lesdits moyens de limitation de l'angle d' ouverture peuvent simplement être formés par une tige, appliquée à la plaque extérieure des moyens à charnières, qui passe à travers la plaque intérieure et se termine par une tête de limitation de la course, avec un ressort de compression introduit entre ladite tête de limitation et la plaque intérieure des moyens à charnières.Said means for limiting the opening angle can simply be formed by a rod, applied to the outer plate of the hinged means, which passes through the inner plate and ends with a head for limiting the stroke, with a compression spring inserted between said limiting head and the inner plate of the hinged means.

Ainsi, l'angle dont le panneau peut s'écarter de la porte pendant l'ouverture de la même peut être efficacement limité Par des moyens sûrs, constructivement simples et économiques.Thus, the angle from which the panel can deviate from the door during the opening of the same can be effectively limited by safe, constructively simple and economical means.

La plaque extérieure des moyens à charnières peut présenter, du côté destiné à recevoir le panneau de finissage, des moyens de connexion bloquable pour une plaquette de connexion appliquable sur le côté intérieur du panneau.The outer plate of the hinged means may have, on the side intended to receive the finishing panel, lockable connection means for a connection plate which can be applied to the internal side of the panel.

Ainsi l'application du panneau peut être effectuée d'une manière facile et pratique, sans moyens de connexion visibles de l'extérieur.Thus the application of the panel can be carried out in an easy and practical manner, without connection means visible from the outside.

Pour le maximum d'efficacité et de simplicité constructive, chaque plaquette de connexion peut présenter un crochet qui peut être inséré dans une ouverture de la plaque extérieure des moyens à charnières, et un boulon inférieur bloquable qui agit du côté intérieur du panneau dans un trou à boutonnière de ladite plaque extérieure.For maximum efficiency and constructive simplicity, each connection plate may have a hook which can be inserted into an opening in the outer plate of the hinged means, and a lockable lower bolt which acts on the inside of the panel in a hole. buttonhole of said outer plate.

Préférablement, les ressorts pour le rappel en position de fermeture de la porte de la machine présentent des moyens de réglage de la tension permettant de compenser le poids des panneaux de finissage.Preferably, the springs for returning the machine door to the closed position have tension adjustment means making it possible to compensate for the weight of the finishing panels.

Ainsi, après l'application des panneaux, qui peuvent présenter un poids très différent d'un cas à l'autre, les ressorts peuvent être réglés pour obtenir soit une fermeture sûre que la stabilité en position d'ouverture.Thus, after the application of the panels, which may have a very different weight from one case to another, the springs can be adjusted to obtain either a secure closure and stability in the open position.

Pour être constructivement très simples et efficaces, ces moyens de réglage de la tension des ressorts peuvent être constitués par une pluralité de moyens d'accrochage espacés et,sélectionnable,s, pour y accrocher les extrémités des ressorts opposées à celles qui sont fixées à la porte.To be constructively very simple and ef effective, these means for adjusting the tension of the springs can be constituted by a plurality of spaced and selectable hooking means, for hooking the ends of the springs opposite to those which are fixed to the door.

Le panneau des commandes de la machine est avantageusement d'une extension limitée et peut être encadré dans un panneau de finissage supérieur d' extension variable.The machine control panel is advantageously of limited extension and can be framed in an upper finishing panel of variable extension.

Cela permet d'adapter de la meilleure manière le côté frontal de la machine à la ligne des meubles proches, même pour ce qui concerne le panneau supérieur correspondant aux tiroirs.This makes it possible to adapt the front side of the machine in the best way to the line of nearby furniture, even with regard to the upper panel corresponding to the drawers.

Le panneau des commandes comprend préférablement une poignée pour la manoeuvre de l'ouverture de la porte de la machine.The control panel preferably includes a handle for operating the opening of the machine door.

Cela est rendu possible par le fait que le panneau plus grand ne glisse pas sur le petit panneau supérieur,ainsi autorisant la disposition de la poignée en position particulièrement pratique.This is made possible by the fact that the larger panel does not slide on the small upper panel, thus allowing the arrangement of the handle in a particularly practical position.

Les susdits et d'autres avantages et caractéristiques de l'objet de l'invention résulteront de la suivante description d'une forme de réalisation, qui en est un exemple non limitatif, schématiquement représentée dans les dessins annexés, dans lesquels.The above and other advantages and characteristics of the object of the invention will result from the following description of an embodiment, which is a non-limiting example, schematically represented in the accompanying drawings, in which.

la figure 1 est une vue en élévation partielle et partiellement sectionnée d'une machine à laver la vaisselle pourvue de panneaux de finissage appliqués selon l'invention à sa porte, avec la porte fermée;Figure 1 is a partial elevational and partially sectioned view of a dishwashing machine provided with finishing panels applied according to the invention to its door, with the door closed;

la figure 2 est une vue partielle similaire à celle de la figure 1 mais avec la porte ouverte;Figure 2 is a partial view similar to that of Figure 1 but with the door open;

la figure 3 est une vue en perspective partielle, explodée, qui illustre la partie frontale d'une machine à laver la vaisselle avec le panneau supérieur appliqué et le panneau plus grand détaché, montrant en outre un des dispositifs pour l'application de ce panneau décomposé dans ses parties.Figure 3 is an exploded partial perspective view which illustrates the front part of a dishwashing machine with the top panel applied and the larger panel detached, further showing one of the devices for applying this panel broken down into its parts.

La machine à laver la vaisselle illustrée comprend un corps 1 qui s'appuie sur le sol P au moyen de ses pieds 2 et qui présente inférieurement une partie 3 reculée Formant un socle rentrant. Au corps 1 sont appliquée des gonds 4 qui par des pivots 5 portent des supports mobiles 6 auxquels est fixée une porte 8 qui peut être ouverte en la renversant vers le bas (flèche A) e fermée en la soulèvent de nouveau (fléche C). La porte 8 porte sur le côté intérieur une contre-porte 9, généralement pourvue de moyens pour la distribution de détergents et brillantant. La manoeuvre de la porte 8 est facilitée par un équilibrage partiel de son poids effectué par des ressorts de traction 10 accrochés d'un côté au corps 1 et de l'autre côté à des appendices d'accrochage 7 présentées par les supports mobiles 6 de la porte 8. Les parties décrites jusqu'ici sont en soi bien connues et habituelles dans ces constructions.The dishwashing machine illustrated comprises a body 1 which rests on the floor P by means of its feet 2 and which has a recessed part 3 below, forming a re-entrant base. To the body 1 are applied hinges 4 which by pivots 5 carry movable supports 6 to which is fixed a door 8 which can be opened by reversing it downwards (arrow A) e closed by raising it again (arrow C). The door 8 carries on the inside a counter door 9, generally provided with means for dispensing detergents and gloss. The operation of the door 8 is facilitated by a partial balancing of its weight carried out by tension springs 10 hooked on one side to the body 1 and on the other side to attachment appendages 7 presented by the movable supports 6 of door 8. The parts described so far are in themselves well known and usual in these constructions.

Dans les cas où la machine doit être insérée dans un ensemble de meubles pour cuisine, on la munit d'un plan supérieur 0 dont l'application ne présente pas de problèmes pour sa correspondance avec les plans des meubles adjacents,puisque leur hauteur est unifiée; en outre, il faut faire de manière qu' un petit panneau supérieur 11 de la porte 8 prolonge la ligne des tiroirs des meubles, et qu'un plus grand panneau 12 prolonge la ligne des portes des mêmes meubles. Cela présente des problèmes car les tiroirs des meubles peuvent présenter une hauteur variable, d'un minimum M (habituellement de 120 mm) à un maximum N (habituellement de 170 mm), et parce que les portes des meubles peuvent terminer à une hauteur du sol P, elle aussi variable d'un minimum H (habituellement de 100 mm) à un maximum K (habituellement de 170 mm). Ces problèmes ont porté à des solutions connues mais insuffisantes et complexes, que l'ont a mentionné dans l'introduction.In cases where the machine must be inserted in a set of kitchen furniture, it is provided with an upper plane 0 whose application does not present any problems for its correspondence with the plans of the adjacent furniture, since their height is unified ; moreover, it is necessary to make so that a small upper panel 11 of the door 8 extends the line of the drawers of the furniture, and that a larger panel 12 extends the line of the doors of the same furniture. This presents problems because the drawers of the furniture can have a variable height, from a minimum M (usually 120 mm) to a maximum N (usually 170 mm), and because the doors of the furniture can finish at a height of soil P, which also varies from a minimum of H (usually 100 mm) to a maximum of K (usually 170 mm). These problems have led to known but insufficient and complex solutions, which have been mentioned in the introduction.

Selon l'application de l'idée de l'invention, le panneau plus grand 12 de finissage de la porte 8 est relié à cette dernière par des pivots d'articulation 13 placés dans la partie supérieure et dans une position choisie un peu au dessous du niveau établi par la hauteur maximum possible N des tiroirs des meubles. Le panneau 12 (qui, évidemment, est réalisé chaque fois en forme, matériel, couleur et fini correspondants à ceux des meubles) s'étend au dessus de l'axe d'articulation 13 jusqu'au même niveau des portes des meubles; en outre, il s'étend vers le bas jusqu'à la même hauteur du sol (comprise entre H et K) des portes des meubles, et il couvre partiellement le socle 3 rentrant du corps 1 qui n'a donc pas besoin d'être adapté en hauteur à son tour, car il suffit que sa hauteur ne soit pas inférieure à la hauteur maximum K qui peut être nécessaire. A la même hauteur se termine un lisbeau antérieur 1' présenté par le corps 1 sous la porte 8.According to the application of the idea of the invention, the larger panel 12 for finishing the door 8 is connected to the latter by articulation pivots 13 placed in the upper part and in a position chosen a little below. of the level established by the maximum possible height N of the drawers of the furniture. The panel 12 (which, of course, is produced each time in shape, material, color and finish corresponding to those of the furniture) extends above the hinge pin 13 up to the same level of the furniture doors; in addition, it extends down to the same height from the ground (between H and K) of the furniture doors, and it partially covers the base 3 returning from the body 1 which therefore does not need be adapted in height in turn, because it is sufficient that its height is not less than the maximum height K which may be necessary. At the same height ends a front edge 1 'presented by the body 1 under the door 8.

Dans la forme illustrée on a prévu deux pivots d'articulation 13 placés près des extrémités latérales de la porte 8. Chaque pivot 13 relie entre elles une plaque intérieure 14, qui peut être fixée à la porte 8 (préférablement en correspondance d'une retraite qu'elle forme en 8') au moyen de vis 15, et d' une plaque extérieure 16 qui forme ainsi avec la plaque 14 une charnière. En outre, la plaque extérieure 16 porte une tige 17 qui s'étend à travers une ouverture 14' de la plaque 14 et reçoit une tête 18 d'un diamètre plus grand que celui de l'ouverture 14', de sorte que ces pièces limitent l'angle d'ouverture de la charnière 14 - 16. Un ressort de compression 19, introduit entre la plaque intérieure 14 et la tête 18 de la tige 17, tend en outre à maintenir fermée la charnière 14 - 16.In the illustrated form, two articulation pivots 13 are provided, placed near the lateral ends. of the door 8. Each pivot 13 interconnects an inner plate 14, which can be fixed to the door 8 (preferably in correspondence of a retreat which it forms in 8 ′) by means of screws 15, and of a outer plate 16 which thus forms with the plate 14 a hinge. In addition, the outer plate 16 carries a rod 17 which extends through an opening 14 'of the plate 14 and receives a head 18 with a diameter larger than that of the opening 14', so that these parts limit the opening angle of the hinge 14 - 16. A compression spring 19, introduced between the inner plate 14 and the head 18 of the rod 17, further tends to keep the hinge 14 - 16 closed.

Une plaquette de connexion 20 est destinée à être fixée au moyen de vis 24 sur le côté intérieur du panneau 12. La plaquette 20 présente supérieurement un crochet 21 apte à pénétrer dans une fenêtre 161 de la plaque extérieure 16 de la charnière, et elle présente en outre inférieurement un trou fileté 22 dans lequel peut être vissée une vis à tête hexagonale 23 apte à pénétrer dans un trou à boutonnière 16" de la plaque extérieure 16. Cette disposition permet le montage invisible du panneau 12 sur la porte 8.A connection plate 20 is intended to be fixed by means of screws 24 on the inner side of the panel 12. The plate 20 has a hook 21 above capable of penetrating into a window 16 1 of the outer plate 16 of the hinge, and it furthermore has a threaded hole 22 in the bottom, into which a hexagonal screw 23 can be screwed capable of entering a buttonhole hole 16 "in the outer plate 16. This arrangement allows the panel 12 to be mounted invisible on the door 8.

Comme on peut comprendre, le panneau 12 peut être accrochè aux charnières 14 - 16 en engageant les crochets 21 des plaquettes 20 dans les fenêtres 16' des plaques 16 des charnières déjà appliquées à la porte 8; et en engageant dans les trous à boutonnière 16" les têtes des vis 23 partiellement vissées dans les trous filetés 22 des plaquettes 20. L' accrochage est cepedant faible, mais en écartant le panneau.12 de la porte 8 par autant que les moyens de limitation 17 - 18 de l'angle d'ouverture des moyens à charnières 13 - 16 le consentent, il est possible d'atteindre, avec une clé, les têtes hexagonales des vis 23 et de les serrer, en blocant ainsi le montage du panneau 12 sur la porte 8. Puis, à porte fermée, les ressorts 19 et l'action de la gravité assurent une adhérence correcte et permanente du panneau 12 à la porte 8; des tampons 25 en matériel souple évitent tout bruit du contact entre lesdites pièces pendant le fonctionnement de la machine.As can be understood, the panel 12 can be hung on the hinges 14 - 16 by engaging the hooks 21 of the plates 20 in the windows 16 'of the plates 16 of the hinges already applied to the door 8; and by engaging in the buttonhole holes 16 "the heads of the screws 23 partially screwed into the threaded holes 22 of the plates 20. The hooking is weak however, but by removing the panel. 12 from door 8 as far as the means 17 - 18 for limiting the opening angle of the hinged means 13 - 16 allow, it is possible to achieve, with a key, the hexagonal heads of the screws 23 and tighten them, thereby blocking the mounting of the panel 12 on the door 8. Then, with the door closed, the springs 19 and the action of gravity ensure correct and permanent adhesion from panel 12 to door 8; pads 25 made of flexible material prevent any noise from contact between said parts during operation of the machine.

Quand on ouvre la porte 8, l'action de la gravité et le contact de la partie inférieure du panneau 12 avec le listeau 1' obligent le panneau 12 à s' écarter de la porte 8 par autant que le consentent les moyens de limitation 17 - 18, en chargeant ainsi les ressorts 19 et en permettant la libre ouverture de la porte, tandis que la partie inférieure du panneau 12 est reçue dans la partie rentrante inférieure 3 du corps 1, comme l'on observe particulièrement dans la figure 2. Quand on ferme de nouveau la porte, la configuration selon la figure 1 se rétablit.When the door 8 is opened, the action of gravity and the contact of the lower part of the panel 12 with the strip 1 'force the panel 12 to move away from the door 8 as far as the limiting means 17 allow - 18, thereby loading the springs 19 and allowing the door to open freely, while the lower part of the panel 12 is received in the lower re-entrant part 3 of the body 1, as is particularly observed in FIG. 2. When the door is closed again, the configuration according to Figure 1 is restored.

Puisque le poids du panneau 12 est supporté par la porte 8, les ressorts 10 doivent aussi compenser partiellement son poids, qui du reste est variable selon le choix du fabricant de meubles. Il est donc opportun que le corps 1 présente une pluralité de moyens d'accrochage 26, l'un desquels sera opportunément choisi pour y accrocher le ressort 10 afin de réaliser une tension appropriée au poids du panneau 12 appliqué à la porte 8.Since the weight of the panel 12 is supported by the door 8, the springs 10 must also partially compensate for its weight, which moreover is variable according to the choice of the furniture manufacturer. It is therefore appropriate for the body 1 to have a plurality of hooking means 26, one of which will be conveniently chosen to hang the spring 10 therein in order to produce a tension appropriate to the weight of the panel 12 applied to the door 8.

Le panneau 27 placé dans la zone supérieure de la porte 8, portant les organes de commandes et contrôle du fonctionnement de la machine à laver la vaisselle, est réduit selon l'application de l' invention à une bande de largeur et hauteur remarca- blement inférieure par rapport a la correspondante largeur de la machine et à la hauteur (variable entre les limites indiquées) des tiroirs des meubles pour cuisine. Il se prête donc pour être encadré dans un petit panneau ou petit frontal 11, prédisposé par le fabricant de meubles, ayant matériel, couleur et aspect similaires a ceux des meubles, et de hauteur correspondante aux tiroirs des meubles. Ledit petit frontal, dans lequel est formée une petite fenêtre de dimensions correspondantes au panneau 27, est donc introduit autour de ce dernier et fixé à la porte 8 par des vis postérieures, sans aucun problème, en réalisant ainsi la meilleure unification possible de l'aspect de la machine à laver la vaisselle et des meubles dans l'ensemble desquels elle est introduite.The panel 27 placed in the upper zone of the door 8, carrying the controls and controlling the operation of the dishwashing machine, is reduced, according to the application of the invention, to a strip of remarkable width and height. lower than the corresponding width of the machine and the height (variable between the limits indicated) of the drawers of the kitchen furniture. It therefore lends itself to be framed in a small panel or small front 11, predisposed by the furniture manufacturer, having material, color and appearance similar to that of furniture, and of a height corresponding to the drawers of the furniture. Said small front, in which is formed a small window of dimensions corresponding to the panel 27, is therefore introduced around the latter and fixed to the door 8 by posterior screws, without any problem, thereby achieving the best possible unification of the appearance of the dishwashing machine and the furniture into which it is inserted.

Au panneau 27 est opportunément incorporée une poignée 28 qui permet la manoeuvre de la porte 8 .par l'usager et qui est ainsi placée en position particulièrement avantageuse.The panel 27 is conveniently incorporated a handle 28 which allows the door 8 to be operated by the user and which is thus placed in a particularly advantageous position.

Bien entendu, les principes exposés pour la réalisation d'un dispositif pour l'application de panneaux de finissage à une machine à laver la vaisselle peuvent être appliqués sur d'autres machines ayant des exigences analogues.Of course, the principles set out for producing a device for applying finishing panels to a dishwashing machine can be applied to other machines having similar requirements.
