Zur Fixierung der Kochfläche an der Arbeitsplatte ist es bei dieser Halterung vorgeschlagen, einen aus vier Rahmenschenkeln zusammengesetzten Rahmen zu bilden. Die Rahmenschenkel weisen eine Steckaufnahme auf, die aus dem Stützabschnitt und einem zum Stützabschnitt parallel beabstandeten Deckabschnitt gebildet ist. Die Rahmenschenkel werden mit ihrer Steckaufnahme auf den Rand der Kochfläche aufgeschoben. Hierbei kommt die Unterseite der Kochfläche auf dem Stützabschnitt zum liegen. Der Deckabschnitt übergreift das Kochfeld im Randbereich oberseitig. Mit den einzelnen Rahmenschenkeln wird ein geschlossener Rahmen um die Kochfläche gelegt. Der so gebildete Rahmen weist einen nach außen abstehenden Flansch auf, der auf einem weiteren Flansch der Montageeinheit aufliegt. Der Flansch der Montageeinheit trägt einen wannenförmigen Grundkörper, in dem elektronische Komponenten unterhalb der Kochfläche angeordnet sind. Um den Rahmen mit der Montageeinheit zu verbinden, sind aus der Montageeinheit Befestigungsaufnahmen ausgespart. Diese müssen auf entsprechende Gewinde im Rahmen ausgerichtet werden. Mit Schrauben kann der Rahmen dann an die Montageeinheit angeschraubt werden. It is with this bracket to fix the cooking surface to the worktop proposed a frame composed of four frame legs to build. The frame legs have a plug receptacle, which from the Support section and a spaced parallel to the support section Cover section is formed. The frame legs are with her Push the receptacle onto the edge of the cooking surface. Here comes the Bottom of the cooking surface to lie on the support section. The deck section overlaps the top of the hob in the edge area. With the individual A closed frame is placed around the cooking surface. The frame thus formed has an outwardly projecting flange which rests on another flange of the assembly unit. The flange of the Mounting unit carries a trough-shaped body in which electronic Components are arranged below the cooking surface. To frame with the mounting unit are to be attached from the mounting unit recessed. These must be on the corresponding thread in the frame be aligned. The frame can then be attached to the assembly unit with screws be screwed on.

Bei solchen Halterungen ist ein kostenintensiver Montageaufwand notwendig. Auch ist aufgrund von Toleranzen zwischen den Schrauben und den Befestigungsaufnahmen die Montageeinheit oft nicht genau zu der Kochfläche ausgerichtet. Damit sind die Heizelemente nicht exakt an der vorgesehenen Stelle an der Unterseite der Kochfläche angeordnet.With such mounts, an expensive assembly effort is necessary. Also due to tolerances between the screws and the mounting seats the assembly unit is often not exactly aligned with the hob. The heating elements are therefore not exactly in the intended position arranged on the underside of the cooking surface.

Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung eine Halterung der eingangs erwähnten Art zu schaffen, bei der mit geringem Montage- und Teileaufwand eine sichere Festlegung der Kochfläche erreichbar ist.It is an object of the invention to a bracket of the type mentioned create a safe with little assembly and parts Fixing the cooking surface is achievable.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung wird gemäß der Erfindung dadurch gelöst, daß die Kochfläche über die Rastverbindung verspannt und abgedichtet zwischen dem Rahmen und der Montageeinheit gehalten ist.The object of the invention is achieved according to the invention in that the Cooking surface clamped and sealed between the Frame and the assembly unit is held.

Die Kochfläche kann nun auf einfache Weise mit der Halterung verbunden werden. Dies ist in einem Montageschritt beim Fügen des Rahmens mit der Montageeinheit möglich. Hierbei wird auch gleichzeitig die Abdichtung der Kochfläche gegenüber der Halterung zuverlässig bewirkt.The hob can now be easily connected to the holder become. This is in one assembly step when joining the frame with the Assembly unit possible. Here, the sealing of the Reliable effect cooking surface compared to the bracket.

Nach einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist es vorgesehen, daß die Montageeinheit eine Aufnahme aufweist, in die die Kochfläche eingesetzt ist, daß der Rahmen einen Steg trägt, der den Rahmenbereich der Kochfläche überdeckt, und daß der Steg in einen abwärts gerichteten, auf der Kochfläche aufstehenden Schenkel übergeht. Mit der Aufnahme und dem Steg ist der Randbereich der Kochfläche abgedeckt. Damit ist er nicht mehr von außen zugänglich, so daß eine Verletzungsgefahr an den in der Regel aus Glaskeramik bestehenden Kochfeldern nicht mehr möglich ist. According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the Assembly unit has a receptacle into which the cooking surface is inserted, that the frame carries a web that covers the frame area of the cooking surface, and that the web is in a downward facing, on the cooking surface rising leg passes over. With the receptacle and the bridge is the Edge area of the cooking surface covered. It is no longer accessible from the outside, so that a risk of injury to the usually made of ceramic glass existing hobs is no longer possible.

Der auf der Kochfläche aufstehende Steg verhindert, daß Schmutz in den Bereich zwischen die Oberfläche der Kochfläche und des Rahmens eindringen kann. Hierbei kann der Steg beispielsweise eine Dichtlippe aufweisen. Wenn der Rahmen im Kunststoff-Spritzgußverfahren hergestellt ist, dann kann die Dichtlippe angespritzt sein.The web on the cooking surface prevents dirt from getting into the Penetrate the area between the surface of the cooking surface and the frame can. Here, the web can have, for example, a sealing lip. If the Frame is made in plastic injection molding, then the sealing lip be injected.

Zur Fixierung der Halterung an der Arbeitsplatte sieht eine Ausgestaltungsvariante der Erfindung vor, das an dem Steg des Rahmens ein Stützteil angeschlossen ist, daß auf der Oberfläche der Arbeitsplatte aufgesetzt ist, daß das Stützteil den Steg beabstandet zu der Oberfläche der Arbeitsplatte hält, und daß im Bereich zwischen dem Steg und der Arbeitsplatte eine Klebschicht eingebracht ist. Der Steg und das Stützteil schaffen also einen Aufnahmeraum für die Klebschicht. Die Klebschicht kann gleichzeitig auch als Dichtelement dienen. Hier ist es möglich, als Klebschicht einen Silikonkleber einzusetzen.A design variant provides for fixing the holder to the worktop of the invention, a support member on the web of the frame is connected that is placed on the surface of the worktop that the support member keeps the web spaced from the surface of the worktop, and that in the area between the web and the countertop an adhesive layer is introduced. The web and the support part thus create a receiving space for the adhesive layer. The adhesive layer can also act as a sealing element serve. Here it is possible to use a silicone adhesive as the adhesive layer.

Die Verrastung des Rahmens mit der Montageeinheit ist beispielsweise dadurch möglich, daß der Rahmen einen mit einer Auslenkschräge versehenen Rastansatz trägt, daß die Montageeinheit einen im Abstand zu der Arbeitsplatte verlaufenden Rand hat, und daß der Rastansatz durch den zwischen der Arbeitsplatte und dem Rand gebildeten Freiraum hindurchgeführt und an einer als Hinterschneidung ausgebildeten Rastaufnahme hinter dem Rand verrastet ist. Die Montageeinheit kann zusammen mit dem Rahmen zu einer Baugruppe vormontiert werden und anschließend in den Ausschnitt der Arbeitsplatte eingesetzt werden. Hierbei kann vorgesehen sein, daß der Abstand des Rastansatzes zu der Arbeitsplatte geringer ist als die zur Verrastung erforderliche Auslenkstrecke. Damit kann sich die Verrastung nicht mehr selbsttätig lösen, wenn die Halterung in dem Ausschnitt montiert ist. The locking of the frame with the assembly unit is thereby, for example possible that the frame has a detent provided with a deflection carries that the mounting unit at a distance from the worktop has running edge, and that the locking approach by the between the Worktop and the edge formed space passed through and at one trained as an undercut latching snap locked behind the edge is. The assembly unit can form an assembly together with the frame be pre-assembled and then inserted into the cutout of the worktop become. It can be provided that the distance between the latching approach to the worktop is less than that required for locking Deflection distance. This means that the catch can no longer be released automatically, when the bracket is mounted in the cutout.

Anstatt eine Aufnahme für die Kochfläche in der Montageeinheit vorzusehen ist nach einer alternativen Ausgestaltungsvariante auch möglich, daß der Rahmen eine Aufnahme aufweist, in die die Kochfläche eingesetzt ist, und daß die Montageeinheit mittels der Rastansätze und der Rastaufnahmen mit dem Rahmen verrastbar ist. Bei der Fertigung kann dann zunächst die Kochfläche mit dem Rahmen verbunden werden. Anschließend wird die Montageeinheit an den Rahmen angerastet und die so gebildete Halterung in die Arbeitsplatte eingebaut.Instead of providing a receptacle for the cooking surface in the assembly unit according to an alternative embodiment, it is also possible that the frame has a receptacle into which the cooking surface is inserted, and that the Assembly unit by means of the locking lugs and the locking receptacles with the Frame can be locked. During production, the cooking surface can then be used first be connected to the frame. The assembly unit is then attached to the The frame snapped in and the bracket thus formed was installed in the worktop.

Eine nach der Erfindung gestaltete Halterung kann dadurch gekennzeichnet sein, daß die Montageeinheit Befestigungsteile aufweist, an denen sich über Federn Heizelemente abstützen, und daß im verrasteten Zustand des Rahmens mit der Montageeinheit die Heizelemente an der Unterseite der Kochfläche angepreßt und die Federn ausgelenkt sind. Die Heizelemente können also in die Montageeinheit eingesetzt werden. Anschließend läßt sich die Kochfläche auf die Heizelemente legen. Wenn dann der Rahmen mit der Montageeinheit verbunden wird, wird die Kochfläche verschoben. Hierdurch werden auch die Federn ausgelenkt. Wenn die Montageeinheit mit dem Rahmen verrastet, sind die Heizelemente ausreichend fixiert und an der Unterseite der Kochfläche angepreßt.A holder designed according to the invention can be characterized in that that the mounting unit has fasteners, which are located on springs Support heating elements, and that in the locked state of the frame with the Mounting unit pressed the heating elements on the underside of the cooking surface and the springs are deflected. The heating elements can therefore in the assembly unit be used. Then the hob can be placed on the Place heating elements. Then when the frame is connected to the assembly unit the cooking surface is moved. This also deflects the springs. When the assembly unit is locked to the frame, the heating elements are adequately fixed and pressed on the underside of the cooking surface.

Der Rahmen und die Montageeinheit können aus duroplastischem oder thermoplastischem Kunststoff- oder Kunststoff-Verbundwerkstoff gefertigt sein. Hierbei sind beliebige Materialpaarungen möglich. Beispielsweise kann der Rahmen aus einem Duroplast die Halterung hingegen aus einem Thermoplast bestehen. Für den Rahmen eignet sich ein Werkstoff der kratzbeständig, temperaturfest, lebensmittelecht und farbecht ist. Diesen hohen Anforderungen muß die Montageeinheit nicht unbedingt gerecht werden, so daß ein geringwertiger Kunststoff verwendet werden kann. Hierdurch ist eine Reduzierung des Materialaufwandes möglich. The frame and the assembly unit can be made of thermosetting or thermoplastic or plastic composite material. Any material pairings are possible. For example, the Frame made of a thermoset, the holder made of a thermoplastic consist. A material that is scratch-resistant, temperature-resistant, is food safe and colourfast. These high demands the assembly unit does not necessarily have to be fair, so that a low value Plastic can be used. This is a reduction in Material expenditure possible.
