Definitions

  • This invention relates to a device for a dishwasher door which is turnable about a mainly horizontal axis from a vertical closed position via a partly open position to a mainly horizontal completely open position and vice versa the door in the closed position covering the opening of a tub in which the dish is placed, the door being influenced by means counteracting the movement of the door from the partly closed to the open position.
  • Dishwashers having the abovementioned type of doors are wellknown and common on the market.
  • the means which are used to balance the door usually comprise one or several springs the fastening points of the spring being so placed with respect to the pivot axis of the door that the opening movement of the door during a major part of the turning motion is counteracted by the spring whereas the door in the completely open position and without outer forces rests in a stable horizontal position against a stop or is forced to tilt slightly upwards.
  • the purpose of this invention is the eliminate the above mentioned drawback and achieve a simple arrangement making it possible to fasten different types of panels to the door without the necessity of making adjustments during the installation stage. This is achieved by an arrangement having the characteristics mentioned in the claims.
  • the dishwasher as usual comprises a door 10 which is turnable about a horizontal shaft 11 in order to cover a vertical opening of a tub 12 in which the dish is stored during the washing operation.
  • the door is supported by L-shaped brackets 13 at each side of the door, one leg 14 of the bracket being fixed to the door by means of screws 15 or the like.
  • the other leg 16 of the bracket is under the influence of a tension spring 17 one end 18 of which is bent and inserted into a slot 19 of the side plate 20 of the machine whereas the other end 21 of the spring, which is also bent, is fastened in a hole 22 of the leg 16.
  • the side plate 20 of the machine also supports a dowel 23 to which a damper 24 for instance a gas spring, an oil or friction damper is fastened.
  • the other end of the damper 24 is in a corresponding way supported on a dowel 25 fastened to the other leg 16 of the bracket.
  • the damper is so shaped that it, when turning the door from its closed to its completely open position and independent of if outer additional loads such as panels are fastened on the door, during the last part of the motion takes up and damps out the movement of the door so that a soft movement to a stop at the completely open position is achieved.
  • the spring 17 is so designed and placed that it, when the door is completely open and when there are no outer loads in the form of panels or a basket on the door, remains in its horizontal position or is forced to tilt upwards.
  • the device works in the following manner.
  • the bracket 13 will be moved clockwise about the shaft 11 which means that the spring 17 is successively tightened.
  • the door is not influenced by the damper 24. If the door is released from this partly open position corresponding to a comparatively small opening movement the door returns because of the spring force to a mainly vertical position.
