Definitions

  • the present invention deals with a control panel for electrically or gas fed household appliances with a front portion being retractable for the access to the control units of the appliance itself.
  • control units since are protruding from the front surface of the appliance, are susceptible to knocks and undesirable shifts which, not only are absolutely unpleasant for the person accidentally running against them, but may also cause various incon­veniences relating to the appliance operation, when this is working, or the subsequent operating cycle in case of e.g. programmed machines such as washing machi­nes or dish washers, up to the possible consequence of a serious danger when, owing to the knock or the accidental actuation, e.g. a gas supply cock is caused to open.
  • the danger is always present that children, inconscious severelyly or for fun, may cause some operation of the control units thus exposed to their curiosity.
  • the mechanism allowing this is a device known as "push-push”.
  • the control panel according to the present invention is characterized by comprising a front portion being hinged to the stationary structure of the panel, and movable between a rest position, substantailly co-planar with the front surface of the appliance and the outer surface of the control units mounted to said panel passing through corresponding holes formed in the front portion, and a back position which causes said control units to be accessible from the outside, said front portion being provided on its inner side with a shaped member for engagement with a known clasp­ing device mounted on the control panel.
  • the stationary portion of panel is formed, at the opposite side with respect to the said movable front portion hinge, with a graspable shape used as a handle for opening the appliance door.
  • the front panel portion 1 is hinged at an hand 11 thereof to the stationary control panel 2, thus being able to oscillate about a horizontal axis, parallel to the longitudinal extension of the front panel itself, between a rest position shown in Fig. 3 and a retracted position shown in Fig. 2.
  • the control panel 2 has a vertical position, but in an actual household appliance it may be oriented along whichever suitable direction.
  • a limit to the forward rotation, until the rest or safety position of Fig. 3, is given by engagement between the free edge of the front panel 1, suitably shaped, and the front profile 3 of panel 2, thus caus­ing the front panel 1 to extend itself in a direction co-planar with the surrounding surfaces, in practice the appliance door, and substantially flush with the front faces of the control units which have been shown in the drawing as a knob 4 and some push-buttons 5, the front panel 1 being provided with through holes 6 and 6′ respectively for their path.
  • the opposite posit­ion, represented in Fig. 2 is caused by engagement of a recess 7, suitably provided on the inner side of front portion 1 with the end, preferably shaped as a roller 12, of an arm 10 pivotedly mounted on the body of a clasping device 8.
  • This arm 10 is normally pushed to a forward direction by a spring 10a for keeping as shown in Fig. 3 the front panel 1 at its rest forward position, while the back position of Fig. 2 is hold by a fastening device which is released, as is known, upon reaching a given position of lever arm 10.
  • control panel 2 in case the control panel 2 is housed within the upper portion of a house­hold appliance door, such as of a dish washer or a washing machine, its upper edge 3, or however the edge at the opposite side with respect to the side at which the front panel 1 is hinged along the axis 11, may be advantageously shaped so as to be claspable and used as a handle for opening the door (not shown).
  • a switch 9 could be provided the control means 9a of which can be actuated by the contact with the movable front portion 1, so that the latter, e.g. at the retracted position of Fig. 2, is able to actuate the switch 9 for whichever operation of regula­tion, control or display.
