Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a dishwasher for built-in use preferably but not necessarily of the type known as the combined type because it is associated with an oven disposed above it.
  • dishwashers have been proposed in which the control panel is "hidden" when the door of the machine, which is hinged at a lower edge, is closed.
  • At least partial opening of the door affords access to the control panel, which is advantageously disposed on the upper edge of the door, in order to carry out the necessary presetting operations.
  • a knurled knob keyed to the shaft of a conventional electro-mechanical programmer oriented perpendicular to the front of the machine can be operated through a window in the upper edge of the door.
  • the cylindrical peripheral surface of the knob which is accessible for programming carries reference numerals or symbols which display the presetting selected.
  • GB-A-2,269,002 shows an example of the above mentioned type of dishwasher the features of which are recited in the introductory portion of claim 1.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a dishwasher for built-in use, possibly of the combined type, having a basic control panel of stylish appearance which is particularly simple, reliable and convenient in use.
  • this object is achieved in a dishwasher for built-in use, as defined by the appended claim 1.
  • the dishwasher comprises a front loading door 1 hinged at the bottom to a body 2 which is fitted beneath a work surface 3 or another domestic appliance, for example, an electric and/or microwave oven.
  • the overlying work surface or, where applicable, domestic appliance projects relative to the body by a distance at least equal to the thickness of the front door.
  • the upper edge of the door is formed by a profiled escutcheon 4 having a handle 5, (possibly extending throughout the width of the door) and connected to the front wall and to the side edges of the door.
  • the front portion of the door is covered by a plastics laminate with a design of a colour and finish coordinated with those of the embedded units.
  • the door 3 is closed at the rear by an inner door 6 which connects sealingly with the edges of the loading opening of the machine.
  • An electro-mechanical programmer 7 is housed between the front wall of the door and the inner door with its shaft 8 perpendicular to the front wall.
  • a disc-shaped programming knob 9 is keyed to the shaft 8 immediately behind the front panel of the door.
  • An opening 10 in the front of the profiled escutcheon 4 exposes a sector of the outermost circular ring of the disc-shaped knob 9.
  • this is knurled with projecting radial ribs 11 to ensure suitable mechanical friction and to permit the manual application of a torque through the opening 10.
  • the knurling may contain regions 16 in which numerical, alphabetical or symbolic programme indicators are formed by printing, by the application of adhesive labels, by engraving, or in relief.
  • the periphery of the disc-shaped knob 9 has a cylindrical rim 12 on which similar numerical or symbolic programme indicators are formed by any of the methods already indicated.
  • a sector of the cylindrical rim 12 faces an elongate slot-like window 13 which opens in the upper edge of the door formed by the escutcheon.
  • the window 13 is closed by a transparent protective screen 14 which is snap-engaged in the window 13 by means of retaining teeth 17, 18 and through which the programme numerals applied to the cylindrical rim are visible.
  • the operator can simultaneously operate the knob 9 through the window 10 and observe the position adopted by the knob through the window 13.
  • the window 13 opens upwardly, observation is particularly easy since it takes place from an observation point located essentially above the window 13, the opening plane of which is oriented perpendicular to the line of observation.
  • the escutcheon 4 which forms the upper edge of the door, conveniently has an internal plate 15 extending parallel to the front wall of the door and acting as a support for the programming device 7 and possibly for other control or display devices.
  • control and display devices may in fact be present on the upper edge of the door.
  • the knurling of the knob may be replaced by suitable corrugations of another type, such as cup-shaped recesses or even holes similar to those in a telephone dial, which increase roughness, ensure a high coefficient of friction or in some way enable the knob to be rotated manually.
  • a high coefficient of friction can also be achieved by connecting a circular ring of material having an intrinsically high coefficient of friction, such as rubber, to the knob.
