Abstract

A connection which is arrested on all sides without the use of screws is achieved by a clamping connection by means of a connection element (3) which is fitted over lateral beads (10) in the equipment covering, in doing so grips below the forwardly projecting equipment covering with a two-fold bent edge (4, 4'), and is fastened with a rear upright tab (2) on the rear closing strip (7) by a plug-on covering profile (8). <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Verbindungsvorrichtung für nebeneinander stehende Großküchengeräte nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1.The invention relates to a connecting device for adjacent kitchen appliances according to the preamble of claim 1.

Bei nebeneinanderstehenden Großkochgeräten sind unterschiedliche Geräteverbindungen bekannt, wie z. B. Stoßverbindungen mit Nut und Feder, Klemmleisten oder U-Rinnen. Alle diese Verbindungen sind jedoch mit Nachteilen hinsichtlich Hygiene, Reinigung, Dichtheit, Gebrauchstauglichkeit und Montage behaftet.In large cooking appliances standing next to each other, different device connections are known, such as. B. butt joints with tongue and groove, terminal strips or U-channels. However, all of these connections have disadvantages in terms of hygiene, cleaning, tightness, usability and assembly.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde eine Verbindungsvorrichtung zu schaffen, welche leicht zu handhaben ist und trotzdem allen Anforderungen an die Hygiene und die Gebrauchstauglichkeit genügt.
Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe werden im Patentanspruch 1 angegebenen Merkmale vorgeschlagen.The invention has for its object to provide a connecting device that is easy to use and yet meets all requirements for hygiene and usability.
To solve this problem, features specified in claim 1 are proposed.

Diese erfindungsgemäße Verbindungsvorrichtung ist ohne Schrauben einfach zu montieren und erlaubt eine raumsparende GEräteaufstellung direkt aneinander. Sie ist einwandfrei abzudichten und kann so großflächig gestaltet sein, daß sie leicht gereinigt werden kann.This connecting device according to the invention is easy to assemble without screws and allows space-saving equipment installation directly on one another. It is to be sealed properly and can be designed so that it can be easily cleaned.

In der Zeichnung ist die Erfindung an einem Ausführungsbeispiel dargestellt. Es zeigen:

Fig. 1
einen perspektivischen Ausschnitt der Geräteoberseite im Bereich der Verbindungsvorrichtung
Fig. 2
einen Querschnitt durch die Verbindungsvorrichtung an der Berührungsstelle zweier Großküchengeräte
Fig. 3
einen Längsschnitt durch die Verbindungsvorrichtung
Fig. 4
eine abgewandelte Form für einen seitlichen Geräteabschluß
Fig. 5
eine Ausführung als Arbeits- und Ausgleichsplatte
Die beiden dicht aneinander stehenden Großküchengeräte 1 und 2 werden abdeckungsseitig mit dem Verbindungselement 3 verbunden. Das Verbindungselement 3 hat ein U-förmiges Querschnittsprofil und ist vorn zweimal abgekantet (4; 4') wobei die untere waagrechte Abkantung 4'unter die nach vorn vorstehende Geräteabdeckung 5 geschoben wird. Eine hintere nach oben abgekantete Lasche 6 legt sich an die hintere Anschlußleiste 7 der Geräteabdeckung. Ein entsprechend gestaltetes Abdeckprofil 8 greift über die aufgekantete Lasche 6 und die Anschlußleiste 7. Das Verbindungselement 3 ist somit ohne Schraubverbindung bei Einzel-, Zeilen- und auch Blockaufstellung in allen Richtungen arretiert. Die beiden Schenkel 9 und 9'verhindern ein seitliches Verschieben, eine Verschiebung nach vorne ist durch die eingeklemmte Lasche 6 unmöglich, und die vorderen Abkantungen 4 und 4' halten das Verbindungselement 3 fest auf der Geräteabdeckung 5.In the drawing, the invention is illustrated using an exemplary embodiment. Show it:
Fig. 1
a perspective section of the top of the device in the area of the connecting device
Fig. 2
a cross section through the connecting device at the contact point of two commercial kitchen appliances
Fig. 3
a longitudinal section through the connecting device
Fig. 4
a modified form for a side device closure
Fig. 5
a version as a worktop and compensation plate
The two kitchen utensils 1 and 2, which are close together, are connected on the cover side to the connecting element 3. The connecting element 3 has a U-shaped cross-sectional profile and is folded twice at the front (4; 4 '), the lower horizontal fold 4' being pushed under the device cover 5 which projects forward. A rear flap 6 bent upwards lies against the rear terminal strip 7 of the device cover. A correspondingly designed cover profile 8 extends over the flared tab 6 and the terminal block 7. The connecting element 3 is thus locked in all directions without screw connection in the case of single, row and block installation. The two legs 9 and 9 'prevent lateral displacement, a forward movement is impossible due to the clamped tab 6, and the front bevels 4 and 4' hold the connecting element 3 firmly on the device cover 5.

Im Bereich des Verbindungselementes 3 ist die Geräteabdeckung entlang der Berührungsseite zweier aneinander stehender Geräte mit einem Wulst 10 versehen. Zwischen dem Wulst 10 und dem Verbindungselement 3 befindet sich eine Dichtung 11, die das Eindringen von Feuchtigkeit o. dgl. verhindert. Der im Querschnitt rechteckförmige Wulst 10 einschließlich Dichtung 11 und Verbindungselement 3 sind so dimensioniert, daß die obere ebene Fläche des Verbindungselementes niveaugleich mit der Geräteabdeckung 5 ist. Es ist so ein optimales Handling durch problemloses Verschieben von Töpfen, Pfannen und Behältern gewährleistet. Der in Fig. 2 angedeutete Topf 12 soll diese verdeutlichen.
Fugenlos eingeprägte U-förmige öffnungen 13 im vorderen Bereich der Geräteabdeckung neben dem Wulst 10 verhindern, daß Kochgut von einem Gerät zum anderen gelangen kann.In the area of the connecting element 3, the device cover is provided with a bead 10 along the contact side of two devices standing next to one another. Between the bead 10 and the connecting element 3 there is a seal 11 which prevents the ingress of moisture or the like. The bead 10, which is rectangular in cross section, including the seal 11 and the connecting element 3, is dimensioned such that the upper flat surface of the connecting element is level with the device cover 5. It is such an optimal handling by moving pots, pans and Guaranteed containers. The pot 12 indicated in FIG. 2 is intended to illustrate this.
Seamlessly embossed U-shaped openings 13 in the front area of the appliance cover next to the bead 10 prevent cookware from getting from one appliance to another.

Je nach Gerätetyp ist die Geräteabdeckung muldenförmig ausgebildet, und überlaufendes Kochgut wird durch ein Ablaufrohr 14 in den Bodenrost geführt.Depending on the type of device, the device cover is trough-shaped, and overflowing cookware is guided through a drain pipe 14 into the bottom shelf.

Für das linke bzw. rechte Außengerät oder das einzeln stehende Gerät wird ein von der Ausführung her identisches, maßlich aber abweichendes Verbindungselement 15(Fig. 4) vorgesehen.
Fig. 5 deutet an, daß zwei mit Abstand voneinander aufgestellte Geräte 1 und 2 durch eine Arbeitsplatte 16 überbrückt werden können, welche genauso wie das Verbindungselement aufgebaut ist.
Hierdurch entfallen zusätzliche Verbindungselemente.A connecting element 15 (FIG. 4) which is identical in terms of design but differs in size is provided for the left or right outdoor unit or the single standing unit.
Fig. 5 indicates that two devices 1 and 2 placed at a distance from each other can be bridged by a worktop 16, which is constructed just like the connecting element.
This eliminates additional connecting elements.
