Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a system for fastening a front panel to the door of a household appliance, particularly a dishwasher, wherein the door and the panel are connected togheter by means of an articulated leverage comprising at least an upper and lower arm.
  • a system of the cited type is disclosed by the English Patent Application No. 2 079 589.
  • a front panel having aesthetical functions, is connected to the door of a dishwashing machine by means of two pivoted arms, an upper one and a lower one, which constitute, togheter with the panel and the door, a parallelogram system.
  • the purpose of such a system is to allow the detachment of the panel from the door during the door opening; in fact the panel, for aesthetical reasons, is longer than the door, from which it projects inferiorly, and without said artifice the door could not be open.
  • the panel In the door-open position the panel is kept apart from the door, by virtue of its same weight; in the closed position it is kept more or less adherent to the door, also in this case due to gravity.
  • the door can stay away from the door even in the closed-door position; furthermore the fastening of the two pivoted arms to the panel (which usually is made out of wood, block wood or pressed chip wood, but it could also made out of plastics or other appropriate material) can give rise to some problems, concerning the positioning precision, particularly when the panel have to be substituted outside the manufacturing factory, to adapt it to the user's need, or when it has been damaged during the transport.
  • the panel which usually is made out of wood, block wood or pressed chip wood, but it could also made out of plastics or other appropriate material
  • the subject of the present invention is a system for fastening a front panel to the door of a household appliance, particuarly a dishwasher, wherein the door and the panel are connected togheter by means of an articulated leverage comprising at least an upper arm and a lower arm, characterized in that there is provided a magnetic element, connected to the panel, which in the closed-door position, cooperates with the door, in order to keep the panel adjacent to the door.
  • the part A represents in view the fastening system, in the closed-door position; the part B represents the same system in cross-section; the part C represents in cross-section the system in the open-door position.
  • reference number 1 indicates the panel; reference number 2 indicates a vertical element of the parallelogram system, which is fixed to the panel by means of screws 3.
  • Reference number 4 indicates the upper pivoted arm of the parallelogram, and reference number 5 indicates the lower pivoted arm.
  • Both the arms are pivoted to the vertical element 2 and to a further vertical element, indicated with reference number 6, fixed to the metal sheet door, a part of which can be seen at the points 7 and 7a.
  • the vertical element 6 has at a given point a lozenge-shaped redoubling, so that a central portion of the door metal sheet, indicated with reference number 8, remains uncovered.
  • Reference number 9 indicates a permanent magnet, connected to the upper arm 4, which in the closed-door position, touches the metal sheet of the door in the position 8, so keeping the panel 1 adjacent to the door 7. In the position 10 it is indicated one of the bolts fixing the vertical element 6 to the door 7.
  • the metal sheet of the door 7 has, how it can be seen from the figure, an oval shaping or dishing, which determines a space useful to contain the parallelogram and in particular the arms 4 and 5, in order to avoid that the panel 1 remains away from the door 7 in the closed position.
  • the magnet 9 is fixed to the upper arm 4 so that it can be axially moved, by screwing or unscrewing its threaded shank. So, in the upper arm it is obtained at least a threaded hole and the shank of the magnet is threaded; the magnet is then screwed to the upper arm, and its axial positioning in respect of the door metal sheet can be adjusted in the closed position.
  • the positioning of magnet 9 can also be changed in the vertical direction, along the upper arm 4, in order to adjust the detachment resistance of the panel from the door.
  • a simple variation to the described system can be realized, for example, by fixing the magnet 9 to the lower arm 5 so that, with the door closed, the magnet touches the uncovered metal sheet of the door, in a point lower than point 10.
  • the fixing between the magnet and the upper and lower arm can be advantageusly realized without the threading of the shank.
  • a perfect adjustment of the application of the magnet against the metal sheet of the door can also obtained by providing, instead of the threaded hole on the upper (4) or lower (5) arm, a slot which allows small movements, along the arm 4 or 5, of the shank supporting the magnet.
  • small angular variations in respect of the door plane are allowed to the shank itself, so to recover the eventual manufacturing tolerances, which could not permit a perfect coplanarity between the magnet surface and the plane of the door metal sheet and could consequently reduce the fastening action of the magnet.
  • the fixing of the shank to the slot can be advantageously obtained by means of an elastic ring.
