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 provided with a decorative panel, 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.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a domestic appliance provided with a moving system for the decorative panel suitable to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks.
  • the mechanism which controls the panel movement includes a releasable hinge top coupling and a bottom parallelogram hinge secured to the door and connected to the panel through a rocking lever driven by an actuator.
  • the main advantage of the domestic appliance with the panel moving system according to the present invention is the possibility of having the panel perform a rotational-translational descent motion, so as to avoid the interference with the underlying plinth.
  • a further 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 D, the distance between the bottom edge of panel P and the furniture bottom being covered by a plinth Z.
  • Panel P is applied to the dishwasher through a mechanism including a top coupling T and a bottom connection B, illustrated in detail further on, in addition to the conventional pins integral with the rear face of the panel and engaged in vertical guides (not shown in the figures) formed in the door.
  • the top coupling T consists of a peg R integral with panel P and abutting on the end of a horizontal rod A which is pushed forward by a spring M located at the opposite end.
  • the push of spring M can be overcome by the action of an electric mechanism E suitable to retract rod A until it disengages peg R.
  • FIG.5 there is illustrated in detail the bottom connection between panel P and the door (not shown) which carries at about one third of its height a support C on which there are mounted a horizontal actuator F, a cushioned end stop H and a pair of rods J, K pivoted at their bottom ends on support C through respective pins V', U'.
  • the outer rod J is pivoted higher and forward with respect to the inner rod K, and at their top ends there is in turn pivoted a lever L, through respective pins V and U, which is connected through a pin N to a bracket S integral with panel P.
  • lever L and rods J, K are substantially vertical, and also that lever L is abutting on actuator F which is in the retracted position.
  • actuator F is activated and extends to push lever L which rotates around pins N, U and V also causing a little backward rotation of rods J, K.
  • panel P takes on an angle of a few degrees (e.g. 2,5°-3°) with respect to the door, thanks to the play between the slide pins and the relevant guides and to the top hinge coupling between peg R and rod A. This small angle is however sufficient to take the bottom edge of panel P outside with respect to plinth Z, as clearly shown in Fig.3.
  • top coupling T may be made in other ways and the same applies to the bottom connection as long as the latter allows to move panel P outside the furniture prior to the descent movement.
  • the top coupling T could be any of the supporting systems described in the above-mentioned European patents which require the user's intervention to lower the panel.
  • the descent of the panel would not be automatic by gravity, upon disengagement of peg R, but manually controlled by the user.
