Definitions
- the present invention refers to a system for fixing a frontal panel to the door of a household appliance, in particular a dishwasher for domestic use.
- the aim of the present invention is that of illustrating a fixing system of a decorative panel to the door of an electric appliance, in particular a dish-washing machine for domestic use, that results in being very simple, economic, safe and versatile.
- the present invention has for its subject a fixing system of a frontal panel to the door of an electric appliance, in particular a dish-washing machine for domestic use, characterised in that it provides one or more fixing elements on the panel, that couple to a corresponding number of fixing elements on the door, in order to realise a hooking device by means of translation of the panel respect to the door.
- reference number 1 indicates the lower part of a door in sheetplate of a dish-washing machine; with reference number 2 two drawings present in such door 1 are indicated; with 3 and 4 two pairs of slits are shown, realised on the door; slits 3 are realised inside of the drawings 2.
- 5 indicates a cross member, or longheron, in sheetplate, that is fixed, in use, horizontally to a decorative panel; for this purpose the longheron 5 has holes 6 for the fixing to the panel with simple drive-screws; two of such screws are visible in figure 3, with reference number 9.
- the longheron 5 has two double folded elements (one of which, indicated with number 5A, is visible in Figure 3 between the two drive-screws 9) on each of which a horizontal tongue is obtained by notching: such two tongues are shown with reference numbers 10; on the longheron 5 two vertical tongues 11 are obtained in a similar way, the function of which will be clarified later on, with reference to the illustrated mode of use in figure 5.
- Figure 2 schematically represents the coupling between the longheron 5 and the door 1, in the leftmost part of the latter: the decorative panel 12 (figure 3), to which the longheron 5 is screwed, is placed on the door in order that tongues 10 fit into the slits 3; the panel is successively horizontally positioned in order that tongues 10 become engaged in the edge of slits 3.
- the panel is applied to the door and is held in position; during such operation, the tongues 11 are inserted in the slits 4 and are able to move in said slits during the horizontal translation, but without becoming engaged on the door and without causing obstacles, due to the fact that the slits 4 are of a greater horizontal size than that of the two tongues.
- the upper part of the panel 12 is fixed in the correct position on the door 1 by means of two screws, as shown in figure 4.
- reference number 13 indicates a small plastic cylinder that is inserted, from the inside of the door 1, in a hole arranged in the door itself.
- a drive-screw 14 is inserted in the small cylinder 13 and screwed to the panel 12, thus engaging it to the door 1; the hole in the door is then closed with a plastic plug 15.
- a second similar screw cooperating with a second small cylinder and a second plug, engages the panel on its other side.
- the longheron 5 is the same as in the previous figures, but for use on a built in machine it has been rotated 180°.
- Figure 6 schematically represents the coupling between the longheron 5 and the door 1, in the left part of the latter: the decorative panel 12, to which the longheron 5 is screwed, is placed on the door in order that the tongues 11 fit into the slits 20; the panel is successively permitted a vertical downwards translation, in order that tongues 11 become engaged with the edges of slits 20.
- the panel is thus applied to the door and held in position; during the operation, tongues 10 are inserted in slits 21 and can move in them, during the vertical translation, without being engaged on the door and without causing obstacles, inasmuch the slits 21 are of a greater vertical size than that of the two tongues.
- the upper part of the panel 12 is fixed to the door 1 by means of two screws, as shown in figure 4.
- the command panel that is not provided with totally built in type machines.
- the fixing system according to the invention has the substantial advantage of allowing in a very economical way the application and the fixing of the panel to the door of the machine; such fixing is furthermore very easy, inasmuch the operation of tightening the screws 13 may be carried out by the installer in all tranquillity, being as that in such phase the panel is already hooked to the door.
- Another substantial advantage consists in that the different constitutive elements of the system according to the invention can be used on different types of machines, without any increase in costs.
