Definitions

  • This invention concerns a device for slidably-partingly mounting the lining panel on the door of an embedded household appliance, in particular a dish-washer machine.
  • Both EP-A-0 162 028 and FR-A-2 457 097 disclose devices for mounting a lining panel to the door of a household appliance, with the lining panel being pivotally supported in points situated below the support of the door requiring control means such as springs (EP-A-0 162 028) or a spiral shaped guide (FR-A-2 457 097) to obtain the required movement.
  • control means such as springs (EP-A-0 162 028) or a spiral shaped guide (FR-A-2 457 097) to obtain the required movement.
  • the opening of the door through a downward tilting around the bottom hinges causes the panel to part from said door while the lever turns and comes to a position perpendicular to the confronting surfaces of the panel and door, with a simultaneous forward sliding motion of said panel, permitted by the known type upper guides.
  • the latter are provided with a stop or limit means which naturally prevents an exaggerated sliding motion and unhooking of the mounting lever.
  • an embedded household appliance door which is pivoted at the bottom edge thereof in a known way by means of hinges (not shown), typically although not necessarily a dish-washer door.
  • a panel preferably solid wood, provided for completely lining and covering door A.
  • a device schematically shown at 4 as a sliding-rolling support, comprising for instance a guide means within which a pin 4a may slide and rotate only in the sliding plane, being fastened to the top portion of panel B. Then, the engagement 4-4a provides two degrees of freedom only in the plane of the drawing.
  • a single support 3 in the form of a pair of metal plates, each of which carries pivoted thereon an end 2a of a lever or small link 2 whose body is provided with a through opening, not shown in the drawings, located between said end 2a and the opposite free end 2b, and having preferably a cylindrical shape whose centerline runs transverse to the longer dimension of said lever, and parallel to the pivoting axis of the end 2a.
  • panel B is assembled on door A by first subjecting said panel to a traversing motion, shown schematically by arrow ⁇ , in order to insert hook 1 through lever 2 whereby free end 2b of the latter may be freely received within the U-shaped seat provided by said hook.
  • Panel B is then made to perform a pivoting motion shown schematically by arrow ⁇ to hook it at the upper portion thereof by means of pin 4a within guide means 4, or rolling-sliding support 4.
  • link 2 is not strictly confined by hook 1, which makes a necessary condition for fast assembly and disassembly operations, accidental unhooking of panel B due to link 2 sliding along hook 1 is prevented, since rolling-sliding support 4 has a well-defined stroke which, as it is shown schematically in Figure 3, comes to an end when rolling support 4 comes into engagement with an abutment 5 provided on said door A, when the latter is in an open position, whereby any further movement of panel B along the Y-direction is prevented.
  • substantially free mounting arrangement of panel B on door A i.e.
  • the inventive device free from springs or any other means inducing a compression force between the two members, provides the inventive device with a safety feature, in that the user is protected from the risk of having his/her fingers pinched if left inadvertently between the door and the panel, or between the latter and a stationary member of the machine, while the sliding motion along direction Y is taking place. In both cases the distancing motion promptly takes place, being supported by the force of gravity, and it causes the panel to move apart from the dish-washer door, thereby preventing possible accidents as mentioned above.

Claims (3)

  1. Dispositif pour le montage d'un panneau (B) sur la porte d'un appareil ménager encastré, ce panneau comprenant une plaque de support (3) dans sa région inférieure et la porte (A) étant articulée sur l'appareil ménager, de sorte que, lorsque la porte (A) est ouverte en étant déplacée d'une position verticale à une position horizontale, le panneau (B) est écarté de cette dernière par suite de la gravité, le dispositif comportant des moyens de pivotement (2,2a) sur la plaque de support (3) et des moyens de support roulants-coulissants (4,4a) pour assurer un accrochage et un coulissement mutuels, ces derniers étant disposés à la portion supérieure de l'ensemble porte-panneau, dans lequel lesdits moyens de pivotement sont formés par une extrémité (2a) d'au moins un levier ou bielle en forme de fourchette (2) dont l'extrémité opposé (2b) est engagée librement par un crochet respectif (1) fixé de manière correspondante sur la porte(A), les moyens de support roulants-coulissants comportent un doigt de guidage (4) sur le panneau (B) et un composant associé (4) capable de rouler sur la porte (A), en assurant ainsi une rotation simultanée du lever ou bielle (2) accompagnée d'un mouvement de coulissement (Y) du panneau dans la direction permise par les moyens de support roulants-coulissants (4,4a) lors du mouvement d'ouverture de la porte (A), qui ont une butée d'arrêt (5) pour limiter le mouvement de coulissement (Y) dans la direction permise par le libre engagement du lever ou bielle (2) dans le crochet (1).
  2. Dispositif selon la revendication (1) caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte une paire de leviers ou bielles (2) disposés symétriquement sur la surface du panneau (B) en face de la porte (A), dans une position symétrique par rapport à un axe central vertical du panneau (B), dans lequel chacun des leviers (2) présente une ouverture cylindrique traversante entre l'extrémité pivotée (2a) et l'extrémité libre (2b), alors que sur la surface de la porte (A) faisant face du panneau (B) est fixée de manière correspondante une paire de crochets (1), dont l'extrémité libre, dirigée vers les moyens de support roulants-coulissants, peut être reçue dans l'ouverture traversante du lever (2) , de sorte que l'extrémité libre (2b) de ce dernier peut à son tour être librement reçue dans un siège en forme de U formé par le crochet(1).
  3. Dispositif selon la revendication 1 ou 2, caractérisé en ce que la course du composant roulant des moyens de support roulants-coulissants (4,4a) est limitée par la butée d'arrêt 5 de sorte que le mouvement de coulissement (Y) est limité au mouvement de pivotement du levier ou bielle (2) en empêchant ainsi l'extrémité libre (2b) du levier de coulisser le long du crochet (1).
