Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a hinge for household electrical appliance in accordance with the introduction to the main claim.
- It is known that a household electrical appliance can present user devices or controls positioned on a part movable relative to its structure or fixed casing. For example, refrigerators are known provided with drink dispensers positioned on a door openable away from the insulated fixed structure; refrigerators are also known having their controls for user devices or for the entire appliance positioned on the door; dishwashers are known in which the electrical controls are positioned on the door movable relative to the fixed structure carrying the wash tub. In all these arrangements, the user devices or controls positioned on the movable part of the appliance are connected by wires (in the case of electrical controls or user devices) or pipes (in the case of drink dispensers) to a source of electricity, or to a vessel containing water or the drink to be dispensed and situated within the appliance fixed structure, or to the water main.
- An object of the present invention is to offer a hinge to be used for connecting the fixed structure of a household electrical appliance to its movable part and which enables electric cables and/or connection pipes to pass between user devices positioned in and/or on the movable part and controlled members present in the fixed structure or hydraulic and/or electrical fixed main supply sources.
- Another object is to provide a hinge of the stated type which enables electric cables and/or pipes to pass in such a manner that these are not visible from the outside of the appliance or on opening the movable part.
- These and other objects which will be apparent to an expert of the art are attained by a hinge in accordance with the accompanying claims.
- The present invention will be more apparent from the accompanying drawing, which is provided by way of non-limiting example and in which:
- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a hinge according to the invention;
- Figure 2 is a view of the hinge of Figure 1 from above in its position of use;
- Figure 3 is a partial section through a household electrical appliance provided with the hinge of Figure 1;
- Figure 4 is a view of part of a variant of the appliance of Figure 1; and
- Figure 5 is a partial view of the appliance of Figure 1 from above.
-
- With reference to said figures, a hinge of the invention comprises a
body 1 provided with afixing base 2 to be connected to afixed structure 3 of a household electrical appliance, for example arefrigerator 9. On this structure, which is provided with an internal preservation compartment 4 for food, there is movable a door 5 (provided withdoor liner 5A) carrying apin 6 inserted into thehinge body 1. This seat is distant from the region in which thebase 2 is connected to thestructure 3. - The
body 1 is internally hollow at 10; thecavity 10 communicates with the outside via an elongate aperture orslot 11 provided in aflat edge 13 of thebody 1, and via a hole orslot 14 provided in thefixing base 2. Through thehole 14 andaperture 11 there pass a conduit and/or an electric cable for feeding auser device 16, for example a drink-containingvessel 18, positioned on or within thedoor 5. In detail, the figures show aconduit 17 connected to the user device which in the figures is represented by thevessel 18; this conduit could however also feed thevessel 18 with a drink contained in a second vessel located in a suitable position within the preservation compartment 4 of therefrigerator 9. - The
vessel 18 is connected to a dispenser 20 (shown schematically in Figures 3 and 4 as a cock) of known type which can be positioned on theouter face 21 of thedoor 5 or within acompartment 22 provided in said door and closed by anopenable flap 23. - The
conduit 17 is inserted through achannel 24 provided in thefixed structure 3 and is provided with a usual non-return valve 25. It is inserted into thedoor 5 through ahole 26 provided in theupper surface 27 of this latter; theconduit 17 is covered frontally by a preferably removableupper end portion 28 of said door. - It should be noted that a
suitable portion 17A ofconduit 17 of predetermined length lies above thesurface 27 when thedoor 5 is closed onto the compartment 4. Thisconduit portion 17A cooperates with acurved support element 30 connected by aspring 31 to afixed pin 32 connected to thesurface 27 of thedoor 5. In this manner, when thedoor 5 is opened, theconduit 17 is able to move within the aperture 11 (arrows K of Figure 1) to take up the greater distance between thehole 26 and the (fixed) fixing base arising with the movement of the door. This is achieved by the elongation of thespring 31; during closure, this spring returns theconduit 17 into the position of Figure 5. - The aforedescribed hinge can also contain a through plurality of conduits or
electric cables 17 for feeding a liquid or electric power to various user devices positioned on the door 50 or within it. These cables can also enable the entire household electrical appliance to be controlled via an interface positioned on thedoor 5 and connected by the said cables to the operational members of the appliance. - An embodiment has been described in which the hinge base is fixed to the
fixed structure 3. The invention also includes the case in which the hinge is fixed to themovable part 5 of theappliance 9 and rotates about a pin carried by the fixed structure.
