Definitions
- This invention concerns a device for locking, at an adjustable height, the movable molding of the upper front side of a built-in appliance, in particular a dish-washer.
- an adjustable portion of the front side comprising a molding whose height position may be adjusted by the fitter himself rather than adjusting the feet when their adjustment span has been completey used up.
- some moldings are already known which may be adjusted in height, at the desired level, for instance by cutting or by providing a molding comprised of a number of parallel strips kept side by side by means of a joint arrangement, and which may be detached at the time of use.
- Either of these approaches involves, besides a certain waste of material, which has to be partially discarded, quite an amount of labor for performing the necessary measurements and for taking the excess material away.
- a molding having the maximum width in the height direction, slidably mounted within the front side, in order to enable height adjustment to be peformed by means of a square nut at both ends of the molding, the nut being pushed against the molding inner surface by means of a spring and being adjustable in height by means of a set screw.
- a device comprising essentially an elongated flexible member, being substantially fork- or Y-shaped, and having a first end fastened to said front side structure, while of the other pair of free ends, corresponding to the branches of the "Y", one is adapted to fit in a respective slot provided in the molding to be adjusted, and the other ends at an opening communicated with the outside and provided on the structure of the front side itself, beyond the molding end edge.
- FIG. 1 the front side of a built-in appliance, in particular a dishwasher, having a decorative molding 2 mounted in such a way as to be able to slide freely heightwise, relative to the front side, when it is not locked by a device 3 according to this invention, which will be described in the following.
- the molding 2 inner surface has a certain number of slots 4 equally spaced along the height thereof. Five of said slots have been shown in the drawing and that is also the number of the possible adjustements in height for the whole molding length, but it is understood that their number may be different.
- devices 3 are provided, i.e. preferably at each end of molding 2.
- Device 3 essentially comprises a substantially fork- or Y-shaped flexible elongated member 3a, having a first end fastened to the structure of front side 1 by means of a pivot pin or bolt 9 while the other pair of ends, corresponding to the pair of branches of the Y, respectively shown at 5 and 7, are normally free.
- the first of said ends, shown at 5, has a terminal shape adapted to enter and perfectly fit into any one of molding slots 4.
- the latter will preferably have a frusto-conical shape in order to perform a lead-in action during insertion of said end 5.
- end portion terminating at 5 naturally extends in a substantially horizontal direction, therefore perpendicular to the surface of molding 4 and to the adjusting direction thereof, while elongated arm 3a, which is perpendicular to end 5, provides flexibility to the arrangement.
- elongated member 3a is provided, in the end portion thereof, with a pair of additional elbow turns which provide said member with a certain stiffness in the direction of pushing from the outside through opening 10. In such a way, the force is transmitted, substantially without any change, to the lower end of the vertical portion of member 3a in a plane which is also vertical and perpendicular to molding 2, around the upper elbow turn which connects fastening point 9 to vertical member 3a.
- locking end 5 is located in such a way that when molding 2 is in the lowest position, i.e. resting with its lower edge on the bottom of front side 1, said end is engaged with the molding upper slot 4. By raising the latter, the lower slots get locked each time.
- molding 2 to be used with an adjusting and locking device according to this invention, will simply comprise a strip of material integrally molded with suitable sets of slots, there being no requirement for the molding to comprise a set of strips releasably fitted to each other, nor to be arranged for cutting. Furthermore, the molding locked in the way described above will feel fast and without play when normally contacted by the hand.

Claims (5)
- Dispositif pour le blocage à une hauteur réglable du bandeau avant supérieur (2) dans la paroi avant (1) d'un appareil ménagé encastré, dans lequel ledit bandeau (2), qui peut être déplacé par rapport à la face avant (1), présente un certain nombre de fentes (4) également réparties sur la hauteur de sa surface intérieure, le dispositif étant caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend essentiellement un élément souple allongé (3a) sensiblement en forme de fourche ou de Y, ayant une première extrémité fixée à la structure de ladite paroi avant (1), au moyen d'un dispositif de fixation (9), et les deux autres extrémités (5,7) qui corresponde à la paire des branches du "Y", étant normalement libres et respectivement adaptées : la première (5) à venir en prise avec une desdites fentes (4) et la seconde (7) avec l'extrémité d'une ouverture (10) en communication avec l'extérieur à travers la structure de la face avant (1), au-delà du bandeau (2).
- Dispositif selon la revendication 1, caractérisé en ce que ladite extrémité (5) est en pointe pour s'adapter à une surface d'entrée correspondante constituée par la forme tronconique desdites fentes (4).
- Dispositif selon la revendication 1 ou 2, caractérisé en ce que ladite extrémité (7) est parallèle à l'autre extrémité libre (5) et décalée par rapport à cette dernière à la fois dans la direction de la hauteur et sur le côté, en étant reliée audit élément vertical allongé (3a) par l'intermédiaire de deux coudes supplémentaires par rapport à la direction de l'extrémité (5), les coudes étant prévus pour donner à cette branche du dispositif en forme de fourche une certaine rigidité, grâce à quoi une action de poussée exercée de l'extérieur à travers ladite ouverture (10) est transmise sensiblement inchangée à l'extrémité inférieure de la branche souple (3a), et force cette dernière à se déformer de manière élastique jusqu'à ce que son extrémité (5) sorte de la fente (4).
- Dispositif selon l'une quelconque des revendications précédentes, caractérisé en ce que lesdites fentes (4) sont formées sur le bandeau (2), au moins aux deux extrémités de ce dernier, un dispositif (3) d'ajustement et de blocage étant formé à chaque extrémité dudit bandeau (2).
- Dispositif selon l'une ou plusieurs des revendications précédentes, caractérisé en ce que ladite extrémité de blocage (5) correspond, quand le bandeau (2) est dans sa position la plus basse, à la fente supérieure (4) dudit bandeau.
