Definitions

  • the present invention relates to built-in domestic appliances having the door lined with a decorative panel, and in particular to domestic appliances installed in kitchen furniture which completely encloses them (so-called “fully integrated”).
  • a dishwasher while it is clear that what is said applies to any other domestic appliance having a similar door hinged along its bottom side, e.g. a washing machine.
  • This type of decorative panel is known to be used to camouflage a built-in appliance so that it blends with the kitchen furniture. This is achieved by applying to the door of said appliance, by various means, a panel having the same appearance of the other doors. In this way there is no visible element allowing to distinguish the appliance from the other members which make up the kitchen, its controls being accessible only when the door is open.
  • this panel poses a particular problem in the case of installation inside a piece of furniture, i.e. when the dishwasher rests on the bottom of the furniture and is placed flush with the side walls thereof.
  • the panel must also cover the front edge of said side walls, same as normally occurs with the other doors. But in this way it would interfere with the walls when the dishwasher door is opened and the panel moves back into the space behind the plinth.
  • FR-A-2.464.689 discloses an example of such an appliance with a decorative panel pivoted at the bottom to the appliance door, so as to allow the user to access the controls on the door.
  • the panel is also connected to the door at the top through a sliding coupling to allow relative movement of the two members upon opening of the door, since they are hinged at different heights and therefore slide one with respect to the other when rotating.
  • the panel in the case of mounting on the door of panels having a height greater than the standard height of 720 mm the panel must be mounted higher on the door. This is necessary to prevent the interference of the panel with the dishwasher base at the end of the door opening, otherwise the door could not open completely to 90°. This implies not only a poor accessibility to the controls located along the top edge of the door due to the projecting panel, but even the need to raise the kitchen top and therefore introduce a supporting structure in the space which is created between said top and the dishwasher top.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a domestic appliance provided with a mounting system for the decorative panel suitable to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks.
  • the main advantage of the domestic appliance with the panel mounting system according to the present invention is the possibility of easily and quickly carrying out the installation inside the furniture without requiring any modification of the latter.
  • a further advantage of this solution is that of being able to mount also panels of greater height simply by adjusting the position of the bottom hinge support without affecting neither the housing furniture nor the accessibility to the controls.
  • Still another advantage of the present system stems from its extreme structural simplicity which makes it cheap and reliable.
  • a dishwasher introduced inside a piece of furniture includes a decorative panel P applied to the door S, the distance between the bottom edge of panel P and the furniture bottom B being covered by a plinth Z.
  • Panel P is applied to the dishwasher through a mounting system including a top sliding coupling R and a bottom parallelogram hinge mounted on an L-shaped support G which is in turn inserted onto a bracket F secured to the dishwasher base M.
  • panel P carries at its bottom end a bracket H connected through pins C to rods J, K which are in turn connected through pins D at their opposite ends to said support G.
  • the latter is inserted onto bracket F through slide guides (not shown) and secured by screws V whose vertical position can be adjusted within adjustment slots A formed in bracket F.
  • the dotted lines T of Fig.3 illustrate the paths of pins C during the opening movement.
  • coupling R consists of a pin X, integral with panel P, which slides with bi-directional restraint along a shaped channel Y formed in the top portion of door S.
  • the shape of channel Y is designed to prevent interference between panel P and door S during the opening, due to the relative angle which is formed, and also to keep a proper axial play.
  • pin X Upon complete opening at 90°, pin X is in the top portion of channel Y and panel P has returned to the initial distance from door S, while rods J, K of the bottom hinge have reached a substantially horizontal position.
  • panel P' has a height greater than the standard panel P, and therefore also plinth Z' is correspondingly lower than plinth Z.
  • plinth Z' is correspondingly lower than plinth Z.
  • this does not pose any problem since to maintain it flush with the dishwasher top it is sufficient to adjust the position of support G on bracket F, by lowering it along slots A through a distance L equal to the exceeding height of panel P'.
  • top sliding coupling R may be made in other ways and the same applies to the support/bracket assembly for the bottom hinge as long as the latter is mounted directly on the machine base and positioned so as to keep panel P outside the furniture throughout the opening movement.
