Definitions

  • This invention relates to a device of the type defined in the preamble of the appending Claim 1.
  • the purpose of the decorator plate which for instance can be a veneered wooden plate and is joined to the door of a domestic appliance, is to make it possible to adapt the domestic appliance to the interior fittings of the kitchen in which the appliance is to be placed.
  • the upper part of the door has a panel for control and indicating means.
  • the panel projects past the front surface of the door and the intention is that the panel and the decorator plate should form a uniform front.
  • the gap between the panel and the decorator plate should be small, and the plate extends below the door of the dish-washing machine to fit to the height of the skirting of the other cabinet fittings.
  • Both the door and the decorator plate are pivotally supported at their lower ends, and at its upper part the plate is linked to the door.
  • the support of the decorator plate is situated below the support of the door so that on opening of the door the plate would hit the panel if the linked connection would not allow the plate to move outwards from the door and parallel thereto past the panel.
  • DE-GM 8,135,542 presents a solution to the problem by proposing a link arm in the form of a spring-leg in which the compulsory connection between door and decorator plate has been replaced by a resilient connection.
  • a link arm in the form of a spring-leg in which the compulsory connection between door and decorator plate has been replaced by a resilient connection.
  • the risk of damage by squeezing is considerably reduced.
  • the want for sufficient cohesion force between decorator plate and door is opposed to the demand for avoiding the risk of damage, which limits the allowable cohesion force.
  • the location of the support points of the link arm is such that when the door is closed, the lever arm which together with the cohesion force exerts a torque on the decorator plate is very small which may cause that vibrations generated by the machine make the plate oscillate and clatter against the door.
  • the spring force can be increased, but then also the risk of damage will increase.
  • the object of the invention is to remove the above drawbacks and to provide a device in which the risk of damage by squeezing is minimized at the same time as a cohesion force is provided which is sufficient to ensure that there will be no undesired noise.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a connection between decorator plate and door which allows the plate to be readily removed from the door for cleaning.
  • Figs. 1 - 3 show schematically a door of a dish-washing machine with decorator plate with the door set in different positions.
  • Fig. 4 illustrates in what way the plate can be removed from the door.
  • Fig. 5 is a side view of a door of a dish-washing machine and illustrates the invention more in detail.
  • Fig. 6, finally, is a front view of a part of the door of Fig. 5 with the decorator plate removed.
  • Fig. 1 shows a door 10 of a dish-washing machine 11, not shown in detail. At its lower end the door is supported for pivoting about a shaft 12. A decorator plate 13 of solid wood, veneered particle board or the like, is attached to the door by link arms 14 disposed at the two side edges of the plate. At its lower end the plate 13 is supported in points forming a pivot axis 15 parallel to the shaft 12. The pivot axis is situated generally straight below the shaft 12.
  • the door has a control panel 16 which projects past the front surface of the door. When the door is closed the decorator plate 13 forms a uniform front with the panel.
  • FIG. 3 shows the relative positions of door and decorator plate when the door is fully opened.
  • the entire decorator plate 13 can be removed, for instance for cleaning.
  • the decorator plate can be provided with shafts 18, 19 disposed at a distance from the plate and co-acting with a hook-shaped end 14a of the link arms 14 respectively with a hook-shaped lower support 20.
  • Figs. 1 - 4 illustrate schematically a door of a dish-washing machine with decorator plate which is in part previously known and is the basis of the following description of the features which are characteristic of the invention.
  • the door 10 is supported for pivoting about the shaft 12.
  • the decorator plate 13 is supported for pivoting about the axis 15.
  • a link arm 14 is pivotally supported on a shaft 21 disposed at a tin plate 22 which is attached to the door by screws 23.
  • the hook-shaped end 14a of the link arm accomodates a support shaft 24 arranged on the decorator plate 13 and supported by a mounting angle 25 fixed to the plate by screws 26.
  • the decorator plate 13 should be connected to the door 10 in such a way that on opening of the door it can move from the door and past the panel 16.
  • the decorator plate should be pressed by a force towards the door such that decorator plate and door seem to form an integral unit.
  • This force is created by a spring arrangement designed so as to provide a great pressing force when the distance is small whereas a moderate increase of the distance between the upper part of the decorator plate and the door, for instance of 2 to 3 cm, reduces this force to a very low level thus generally eliminating the risk of damage on movement of the door.
  • the spring arrangement generally denoted by 27, comprises two rods 28, 29 which are telescopically movable relative to one another and are biassed from one another by a coil spring 30.
  • the coil spring is stressed between a flange 31 on a sleeve 32 which is attached to the rod 28 and another flange 33 on a sleeve 34 which is attached to the rod 29.
  • the sleeves 32, 34 also serve as guides for the spring 30.
  • a pin 35 on the rod 28 runs in an elongate groove 36 in the rod 29, which is tubular, in order to limit the relative movement of the rods 28, 29.
  • the rod 29 is guided in a hole in a guide plate 37 which is attached to the door by a screw 38.
  • the lower end 29a of the rod 29 rests on an inclined surface 40a of a guide cam 40 which by a screw 41 is attached to a metal plate 42 fixedly arranged in the dish-washing machine.
  • the upper end of the rod 28 is linked to a lever arm 43 attached to the link arm 14 and extending upwards inwards in Fig. 5.
  • the entire decorator plate 13 can be removed, for instance for cleaning.
  • this is readily done by moving the upper end of the plate outwards until it is free from the panel 16, after which the door is moved obliquely outwards and upwards. Thereby the shaft 19 will unhook from the hook-shaped part 20, see Fig. 4, and the link arms 14 can swing upwards so that the end 14a can disengage from the shaft 24 (Fig. 6). Mounting of the decorator plate is done in the opposite order.
  • a device for mounting a decorator plate to a door of a domestic appliance preferably a dish-washing machine, is obtained in which the decorator plate is kept pressed to the door when the latter is closed but in which at the same time the cohesion force is so small that no damage will be caused if during the closing movement or on swinging of the plate outwards from the door a finger or the like should come between the door and the plate.
