Definitions
- the present invention relates to devices for mounting panels, and in particular to a device for mounting a decorative panel on the door of a built-in electric appliance, typically a dishwasher, such that said panel can vertically slide between two fixed positions.
- a device for mounting the panel is disclosed, for example, in EP-0261083 in the name of the same applicant. Said device, though very simple and effective, however does not allow to change the vertical position of the panel once it has been mounted on the door. Actually, there are other mounting devices which allow a vertical sliding of the panel. However, said sliding occurs as a consequence of the door opening in order to prevent the interference of the panel with the furniture plinth, thus avoiding the plinth modification and/or the use of complicated hinge mechanisms. In any case, these devices lead to a complete hiding of the door when it is in the closed position, whereby they have the same limits mentioned above. Examples of said devices are found in the German patents DE-2.937.404 and DE-3.304.142, and in the patent applications EP-0162028 and EP-0520963.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a panel mounting device which overcomes the above-mentioned drawbacks. This object is achieved by means of a device having the characteristics cited in claim 1.
- the first essential advantage of the device according to the present invention is the possibility of choice between starting the machine with the panel which completely hides the door or leaving the controls in view for a subsequent check and/or modification of the cycle, without having to reopen the door.
- a further advantage of the present device is to allow the machine start with the panel in the lowered position so that the controls are in view, and then allowing at any moment the raising of the panel until the door is completely hidden, without interfering with the operation cycle.
- Still another advantage of the present device is that it does not alter in any way the aesthetical functionality of the decorative panel, since no member of the device is visible when the door is in the closed position.
- Figs.1 and 2 illustrate in a schematic way a built-in appliance, typically a dishwasher, frontally hidden by a decorative panel P coupled to the dishwasher through a lower member, which engages a seat D formed in door S, and an upper member engaged with the control board V. It is clear that a smooth and balanced sliding requires that panel P be coupled to the dishwasher along both the right and left side. Therefore, the following description relating to the right device (in the front view) applies specularly to the left one too.
- panel P The motion of panel P from the raised position of fig.1 to the lowered position of fig.2 is controlled by lateral pushbuttons W in the way described further on. After the release, panel P slides downwards along a short travel so as to make accessible the upper portion of the control board V where the cycle display and the controls group X, possibly of the push-pull type, are located. It should be noted that the travel of panel P is the smallest required for the access to the controls and it allows anyhow the opening of door S even with panel P lowered, as indicated in fig.2.
- the coupling dowels A fixed on panel P have a shape substantially equal to the shape described in the above-mentioned patent EP-0261083, with the only difference that they are rotated through 90° to the vertical position.
- dowel A has an ogive-shaped tip which extends rearwards into a cylindrical body whose cross-section is reduced by a relief along a plane parallel to a vertical diametral plane, so as to obtain a vertical tooth on the rear of the tip.
- the lower dowel A engages a seat D formed in door S and illustrated in figs.3 and 4.
- seat D has a rectangular shape elongated in the vertical direction, with a top width such as to allow the insertion of dowel A.
- the rest of seat D has such a width only in its rear portion, while having a reduced width in the front portion level with the surface of door S, thus resembling in the front view the shape of a "p" with a long stem.
- an inner vertical abutment K is obtained, along which the tooth of dowel A slides while keeping panel P close to door S.
- the height of seat D together with the upper coupling member described hereunder, defines the slide travel L of panel P on door S (indicatively 15-20 mm).
- Figs.5 and 6 show the coupling of the upper dowel A, through a slot J, to a horizontal cylindrical latch B, of known type, located inside door S near the upper right corner thereof.
- This coupling takes place through the axial sliding of latch B in its seat against the action of spring C which prevents the subsequent release, which is possible only through the use of a specific key G.
- the tooth of dowel A engages a plate H provided with a lower strip F and integral with latch B at a position transverse to the axis thereof, as it will be better explained further on.
- panel P is level with control board V as shown in fig.1, with the lower dowel A engaged in seat D at the upper end of travel L (upper dashed position in figs.3 and 4).
- plate H with which the upper dowel A engages, is fixed onto latch B along a plane substantially tangential thereto at the point of coupling with dowel A.
- a strip F whose free end abuts against the inner surface of door S, is mounted at the lower end of plate H at 90° outwards.
