Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a food cooking device.
  • the food ovens are inserted within kitchens provided with a cooking hob with gas burners or electrical plates located on the top of the same; the food oven is situated under the cooking hob and is provided with a door for the opening on the front of the kitchen.
  • the control panel comprising knobs suitable to the operation of the same oven is generally located; it is possible that the same control panel also comprises knobs for the operation of the gas burners or of the electrical plates of the cooking hob in kitchens in which such knobs are not provided at a side of the cooking hob.
  • the knobs for the operation of the oven are generally two, one of which is assigned to the selection of the desired temperature and the other one to the type of operation of the same oven. Said knobs have a substantially round shape and project from the external profile of the control panel that is lined up with the external profile of the entire front panel of the cabinet or of the kitchen.
  • buttons that are suitable to the programming of the duration of the cooking in the food oven can also be provided.
  • a food oven with cabinet provided with at least one control panel comprising a knob associated with a device for the operation of the oven startable by means of turning of the knob is described.
  • the knob is provided with a push-pull device that allows its longitudinal movement from one first position in which it is substantially lined up with the external front profile of the control panel, to a second position in which the knob projects from the external front profile of the control panel and vice-versa. Said knob is rotatable to the second position so as to cause the operation of the same oven.
  • scope of the present invention is to provide a food cooking device that overcomes the aforesaid disadvantage.
  • a food cooking device with cabinet provided with control panel comprising at least one knob with substantially rectangular shape associated with means for the operation of the cooking device that are startable by means of rotation of the knob, said knob being provided with a push-pull device that allows its longitudinal movement from a first position in which the knob is substantially lined up with the front of the control panel and inserted within the external profile in a substantially rectangular opening to a second position in which said knob projects from the external front profile of the control panel and vice-versa, said knob being rotatable about a longitudinal axis of rotation into said second position in such a way so as to determine the operation of the same cooking device, characterised in that said axis of rotation of the knob passes through the geometric centre of the same and in that said rectangular opening for the housing of the knob is provided with a projection and said knob comprises a cavity capable to line up with the external profile of said projection so as to determine a single position for the insertion of the knob in said opening.
  • Such food cooking device is suitable to be inserted in a kitchen provided with a cooking hob with gas burners and/or electrical plates.
  • a food cooking device for instance an oven 2 with a cabinet 200 provided with a control panel 1 containing means for the operation of the oven 2.
  • Said means comprise a first knob 3 for the selection of the different types of operation of the oven, a knob 4 to select the operating temperature of the oven and a push-button panel 5 comprising various buttons for the programming of the duration of the operation of the oven, for instance the length of cooking of a food in the oven, and other functions.
  • the knobs 3 and 4 are substantially rectangular and they are each provided with a push-pull device 100 that allows their longitudinal movement from a first position in which they are substantially lined up with the external front profile of the control panel 1, visible in Figure 3, to a second position in which they project from the external front profile of the control panel 1, visible in Figure 4, and vice-versa.
  • the single knob 3 with relative push-pull device 100 will be described hereinafter.
  • the knob 3 shown in greater detail in Figures 3 and 4 is integral with an element 6 provided with projecting ends 7 and with a body 8 that is part of push-pull device 100.
  • Said body 8 is provided with a concave part 9 that is pierced on one end 10; inside of it an element 11 slidingly inserted and a spring 12 is also inserted that are located between the element 11 and the other closed end 13 of the concave part 9.
  • the element 11 is provided on its top with a heart-shaped slot 14 in which the bottom end 15 of a pin 16 can slide; the top end 17 of the pin 16 can slide in a rectilinear guide 18 obtained on a top surface of the concave part 9 of the body 8 and transversal to the same.
  • the element 11 is integral with means 19, known per se, that allow, by means of the rotation of the knob 3, the selection of the type of operation of the oven 2 desired by an operator.
  • the knob 3 is inserted within a rectangular opening 70 of the control panel 1 that is provided with a projection 71, preferably on a smaller side 73 (that is on one of the two sides with minor length) of the rectangular opening 70; in addition, said projection 71 is preferably arranged on the bottom in the rectangular opening 70.
  • the rectangular knob 3 has a cavity 72 on a smaller side of the rectangle that is suitable to line up with the external profile of the projection 71. In this way the knob 3, once it is out of the opening 70, can enter again only in the position in which the cavity 72 is lined up with the external profile of the projection 71 so as to determine a single position for the insertion of the knob 3 in the opening 70.
  • FIG 3 the knob 3 is shown in normal position almost lined up with the external profile of the control panel 1.
  • the spring 12 is compressed and the bottom end 15 of the pin 16 is arranged in a position A inside the heart-shaped slot 14 of the element 11, that is in proximity of an end of the heart-shaped slot 14.
  • the pin 16 By operating on the knob 3 the pin 16 gets minimally moved toward the right looking at Figure 3; in this way the bottom end 15 of the pin 16 gets unlocked from the position A and it can freely slide in the heart-shaped slot 14.
  • the action of extension of the spring 12 that thrusts toward the left the body 8 allows the top end 17 of the pin 16 to slide into the guide 18 and the bottom end 15 of the same pin 16 to slide into the heart-shaped slot 14; at the end of stroke the pin 16 is in a position B, opposite to position A, in proximity of one end of the heart-shaped slot 14, as visible in Figures 4 and 5.
  • the movement of the body 8 causes the movement of the knob 3 to an extracted position, therefore projecting from the external profile of the control panel 1 as visible in Figure 4.
  • the knob 3 is free to rotate and thus to select through means 19 the desired type of operation of the oven.
  • the element 6 like a plug closes the housing of the knob owing to its projections 7 that engage with the inside wall of the control panel 1 where an insert 50 is located; in this way the inlet of dust or other material in the housing of the push-pull device 100 is prevented.
  • the rotation of the knob 3 causes a rotation of the round insert 20 in such a way that, through a transparent window 21 obtained on the control panel above the knob 3, the type of operation of the oven that was selected according to the rotation of the same knob is visible.
  • the rotation of the knob 3 takes place according to a longitudinal axis AS passing through the geometric centre G of the knob 3.
  • FIGs 7-10 the sections of the plastic inserts 50 and 60 in Figure 1 respectively relative to the knobs 3 and 4 and the push-button panel 5 are shown.
  • Said inserts 50, 60 allow an easy insert and axial sliding of the knobs 3 and 4 and of the push-button panel 5 in the respective housings provided in the control panel 1; in this way the problems concerning the greater precision in making the housings of the control panel 1 provided for the means 3, 4, 5 due to the non-round contouring and therefore with greater size engagement are prevented.
  • the projections 71 are obtained in said plastic inserts 50 and 60.
  • the control panel 1 is generally of glass with a painted bottom and such symbols are made on the glass by means of serigraphy.
  • serigraphy on glass it is possible to make plastic inserts 51 and 61 respectively relating to the knobs 3 and 4 and the push-button panel 5 that as compared with the inserts 50 and 60 are provided with a plastic part where the aforesaid symbols are engraved, as visible in Figure 11.
  • the oven above described can be of the independent type or inserted in a kitchen with gas or electrical cooking hob.
