Definitions

  • the present invention relates to built-in domestic appliances having the door lined with a decorative panel, and in particular to domestic appliances in which the panel slides with respect to the door.
  • 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.
  • panel mounting systems including a sliding coupling between the panel and the door are disclosed, for example, in EP-A-744152, EP-A-1364609, and FR-A-2464692.
  • this panel poses a particular problem when it has a height greater than the standard height of 720 mm, since this would result in 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°.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a domestic appliance provided with a mounting system for the decorative panel that overcomes the aforementioned drawbacks.
  • the main advantage of the domestic appliance with the panel mounting system according to the present invention is the possibility of being able to mount also higher panels on the same machines manufactured for the application of standard panels, without requiring any modification of the machine base.
  • Still another advantage of the present system stems from its extreme structural simplicity which makes it cheap and reliable.
  • a dishwasher according to the present invention includes a decorative panel applied to the door through hooks 1 (four in the illustrated example) engaging corresponding slots 2, formed in the machine, within which the sliding can take place. On the panel there is also secured a bracket 4 carrying a pin 3, almost centrally, suitable to engage a corresponding sliding insert 5 arranged in the upper front part 6 of the machine.
  • the sliding insert 5 is mobile in the vertical direction, guided by its seat 7, and is pushed downward by a spring 8.
  • plastic protections 9 extending to the bottom face, to favour the grazing of the panel on the machine base.
  • the sliding coupling may be made in other ways and/or in other positions and the same applies to the elastic return member, as long as there is retained the automatic movement during the opening and closing movement due to the interference between the bottom end of the panel and the machine base.
