Definitions

  • This invention relates to an arrangement for temporarily immobilizing the internal accessories of domestic cooking appliances, such as cookers, ovens and the like, such immobilization being temporarily required during the handling of the appliances.
  • Both electrically and gas operated domestic cooking appliances comprise a series of accessories which are placed in the cooking compartment of the appliance after being grouped together into a flat bundle which is covered with thermo-shrinkable material and then with protective materials (such as foamed plastics or air-chamber plastics) to form a protected pack, self-adhesive tape then being used to close the pack and to fix it to the walls of the cooking compartment (ie immobilize it).
  • protective materials such as foamed plastics or air-chamber plastics
  • any accessories (grids, spits, shelves and guides) not immobilized could move and be damaged, or cause damage to the walls of the compartment housing them, and in particular to the glass door which closes the access to the compartment.
  • the main object of the present invention is to provide a protective arrangement for temporarily immobilizing the accessories placed inside domestic cooking appliances, the arrangement resulting in a series of substantial advantages over the know art, including: a) being formed in its essential protective part by a single material rather than by several materials of different type; b) being able to be used on different appliance models; c) requiring very little storage and transport space; d) requiring only little material; e) being of simple and immediate application; f) allowing instructions or information to be applied; g) providing reliable and effective protection both to the accessories and to the compartment containing them.
  • the arrangement according to the invention which is characterised essentially by comprising a paper-material structure comprising a base and surrounding flaps joined to said base so as to be able to be raised to form mutually counteracting side walls bounding said base, at least one of said flaps comprising a longitudinal elongate aperture.
  • the structure constituting the essential part of the arrangement for immobilizing the internal accessories of a domestic cooking appliance provided with a compartment in which said accessories can be housed during the handling of the appliance is indicated by 1, it being constructed of paper material of good rigidity such as corrugated cardboard, and comprising a rectangular or square base 2, to each side of which a flap indicated respectively by 4, 5, 5A, 6 and 7 is joined via creasing lines 3.
  • width "K" of the flap 7 across the outside of the undercuts 8 is greater than the width of the corresponding side 3 of the base 2.
  • the two remaining flaps (ie 4 and 6) have a width equal to the width of the side 3 to which they are joined. Because of this dimensioning, when the flaps are erect and the structure is assembled in situ, ie in the compartment which is to receive the appliance accessories, the flaps 4 and 6 become interposed between the other flaps (7, 5, 5A), as shown schematically in Figure 1A in which the structure is shown in plan view with the flaps erect at 90° to the base 2, the resultant counteraction points between adjacent flaps being indicated by P, Q, R and S.
  • the flap 4 has a height Z greater than the opposite flap 6 and comprises at least one pair of creasing lines 10, 11 parallel to the corresponding creasing line 3 to enable this flap, with its parts divided in this manner, to assume different angles as shown for example in Figure 4.
  • the flaps 5 and 5A divide the same side 3 of the base 2, the flap 5 comprising at least one pair of creasing lines 12, 13 parallel to the side 3 to enable those regions into which said creasing lines divide the flap to assume different angles.
  • the flap 6 comprises an aperture parallel to the corresponding side 3 of the base 2, on one side of this aperture there being a tab 15 foldable about a creasing line 16.
  • the fourth and last flap ie that indicated by 7, comprises a large aperture 17, from the lower edge 18 of which there extends a tab 19 extending along only a fraction of said edge and joined to the flap 7 via a creasing line.
  • the tab 19 also comprises at least one pair of creasing lines 20, 21 parallel to the edge 18 to enable the regions of this tab to assume different inclinations.
  • the dimensions and shape of the flap 17 are suitably chosen so that it fits tightly into the mouth of the compartment V of the appliance A in which the relative accessories are placed after the structure 1 has been inserted into the compartment.
  • the dimensions of the base 2 are chosen to correspond to the cross-section of the compartment.
  • the structure 1 is inserted into the compartment V ( Figure 2) so that the half-flaps 5, 5A rest against the inner end wall D of the compartment V, with the base 2 resting on the lower wall of the compartment.
  • the side walls of the compartment V comprise non-removable projecting guides 30 for the grids or shelves forming part of the appliance accessories
  • the side flap 6 is mounted over these guides via the aperture 14 provided in it.
  • the tab 15 then remains bent at an angle towards the compartment V.
  • the compartment V comprises removable guides 40 which when removed also form part of the internal accessories, the flap 6 simply rests against the wall of the compartment V as shown in Figure 4, in which these guides are shown contained within the structure 1 and retained by the folded half-flap 5 on one side and by the folded tab 19.
  • the pack W in the form of a thermo-shrinkable plastics envelope containing the other accessories is now inserted (see Figures 3 and 5) to assume an inclined position.
  • a piece of self-adhesive tape 31 is applied between the flap 4 and the pack W (then raising the tab 19 in the case of the fixed guides so as to in both cases achieve the configuration of Figure 5).
  • the correspondingly shaped and dimensioned flap 7 is lightly forced into the mouth of the compartment V, and the door Q of the compartment is closed so that it possibly rests against the flap 7 (by suitably dimensioning the structure 1.
  • the door Q comprises a conventional window F through which the accessories contained in the compartment V can be checked, the aperture 17 in the flap 7 being positioned to at least partly coincide with the transparent glass of the door window as shown in Figure 7.
  • FIG 8 in which equal or corresponding parts carry the same reference numerals plus 100, comprises on opposing sides two flaps 104 and 106 both identical to the previously described flap 6.
  • the two remaining sides 105 and 107 are identical to each other, with their equal widths K being greater than the width of the side to which they are joined, in order to achieve the counteracting effect visible in Figure 1A.
