Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for mounting finishing panels on the door of a dishwasher.
  • the panel which covers the door is mounted by lower hinges, independently of the door, on the structure of the machine, and it is provided a system of levers which, when the door opens, move the panel away from it, allowing it to slide in front of the small upper panel during the opening process.
  • the small upper panel can certainly to be suitable for the height of the drawers, and the larger panel may be suitable for the furniture line, but at the cost of very serious constructive complications; moreover, the fact that the larger panel must slide in front of the small upper panel during the opening of the door places limits on the possibility of installing on the small upper panel a handle to control the opening of the door.
  • the finishing panel is pivoted above the door of the machine, and it is connected below to the fixed structure of the machine by levers which, during the door opening, force the finishing panel to move away from it by sliding under the fixed parts to which the door is pivoted.
  • the advantage is obtained that a handle or other protruding part can be installed on the small upper panel, but the constructive complication is always considerable, and in particular the mounting of the device is expensive because the panel finishing must be connected on one side to the door and on the other side to the machine structure, by independent means between them.
  • a protective strip must be installed on the door, laterally to the finishing panel, to fill the free space that forms between the finishing panel and the door when the latter is opened, space in which could inadvertently introduce the fingers which would then be crushed when, during the closing of the door, the finishing panel is forced by the lower levers to return to contact with the door.
  • Said batten is an additional constructive element and, moreover, it damages the aesthetics of the construction.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a . committee for applying finishing panels to the door of a dishwashing machine which allows, with a minimum of constructive difficulty, to adapt completely, as well as regards the dimensions that the line, the finishing panels of the machine to the characteristics of the adjacent furniture, and which further allows the installation of the operating handle in an easy position on the small upper panel of the door.
  • a device for mounting finishing panels on the door of a dishwashing machine comprising hinged means, each with two plates, an inner plate of which can be fixed to the door of the machine or integral with it and the other outer plate of which is intended to be fixed to a finishing panel, said two plates being interconnected by means of a hinge pin placed at their upper part and by means of limiting the reciprocal opening angle, such that they do not prevent the angular displacement of the plates with respect to each other within the limits established by the limiting means and is characterized in that said limiting means consist of a rod connected to the outer plate which passes through the inner plate and ends with a stroke limiting head, and in that a compression compression spring returns to the closed position of the hinged means es, is interposed between said limiting plate the inner plate.
  • the larger panel mounted on the door of the machine 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 placed freely in the cavity of the base of the machine, the height of which does not need to be matched to the height of the socket cavity of the other adjacent furniture.
  • the panel being connected only to the door near its upper end, it requires only very simple assembly operations. The whole device is simple and economical and it forms a compact construction unit. No side slat is required. This ensures safe and correct operation with remarkable constructive simplicity.
  • Said resort which produces only the closing of the hinged means, and not of the panel, can have a return force and a minimum stroke, and its cost price is not comparable to that of the return springs of the panel. It ensures adhesion of the panel to the door without the possibility of beating or vibrations, in the closed position.
  • 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 inner side of the finishing panel.
  • each connection plate can 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 finishing panel. in a buttonhole hole in said outer plate.
  • 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.
  • On the body 1 are mounted hinges 4 which by axes 5 carry movable supports 6 to which is fixed a door 8 which can be opened by reversing it downwards (arrow A) and closed by lifting it again (arrow C) .
  • the door 8 carries on the inner side a counter door 9, generally provided with means for the distribution of detergents and gloss.
  • the operation of the door 8 is facilitated by a partial balancing of its weight effected 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.
  • 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.
  • a top plane 0 whose application does not present any problems for its correspondence with the plans of the adjacent furniture, since their height is unified ; in addition, 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.
  • the larger panel 12 for finishing the door 8 is connected to the latter by hinge pins 13 placed in the upper part and in a position chosen a little below. the level established by the maximum possible height N of the furniture drawers.
  • 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 an anterior strip presented by the body 1 under the door 8.
  • two hinge pins 13 are provided, placed near the lateral ends of the door 8.
  • Each pin 13 connects an inner plate 14 which can be fixed to the door 8 (preferably in correspondence with a retreat that it forms in 8 ') by means of screws 15, and an outer plate 16 which thus forms with the plate 14 a hinge.
  • the outer plate 16 carries a rod 17 which extends through an opening 14 'of the plate 14 and receives a head 18 of a larger diameter than that of the opening 14', so that these parts limit the angle 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.
  • 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 ′ of the external 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.
  • 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 mounted on 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 attachment is however weak, but by removing the panel 12 from the door 8 leaves as much as the means of limitation 17-18 of the angle of opening of the hinged means 13-16 allow it, it is possible to reach, with a key, the hexagonal heads of the screws 23 and to tighten them, thereby blocking the mounting of the panel 12 on the door 8.
  • the springs 19 and the action of gravity ensure correct and permanent adhesion of the panel 12 to the door 8; pads 25 made of flexible material prevent any noise from contact between said parts during operation of the machine.
  • the springs 10 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.
  • 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 width and height remarkably less by relative to the corresponding width of the machine and to the height (variable between the indicated limits) 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 height corresponding to the drawers of the furniture.
  • Said small front in which a small window of dimensions corresponding to the panel 27 is formed, 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.
  • a handle 28 which allows the operation of the door 8 by the user and which is thus placed in a particularly advantageous position.
