Definitions

  • the present invention relates to built-in domestic appliances lined with decorative panels, 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 with similar decorative panels, e.g. a washing machine.
  • This type of decorative panels 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 top 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.
  • a plinth which acts as complementary bottom panel to maintain the continuity of the lining while allowing the opening of the door.
  • top panel moving back in the space behind the plinth is shown in the European application EP-1169963, relating to a mounting system for the bottom panel or plinth that prevents the interference between the two panels in the initial phase of the door opening.
  • EP-1169963 relating to a mounting system for the bottom panel or plinth that prevents the interference between the two panels in the initial phase of the door opening.
  • This known system leaves the plinth in the same initial vertical position also when the door is completely open, and in the present invention its function of preventing the interference between the two panels is carried out by the "variable fulcrum" hinges of the door.
  • such a system does not prevent the interference between the top panel and the side walls.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a domestic appliance provided with a mounting system of the bottom panel or plinth which overcomes the aforementioned drawbacks.
  • the main advantage of the domestic appliance with the plinth mounting system according to the present invention is the much "softer" movement of the plinth, which results is advantages as to silence and reliability.
  • this domestic appliance obviously retains the advantages of the above-mentioned previous mechanism, such as the possibility of using any mounting system for the top panel applied to the door, so that no diffculty results in the installation inside the furniture, nor in the lowering of the top panel with the door closed to check the cycle phase and/or to discharge air through a suitable top grid during the drying phase.
  • a further advantage of this solution is that of being able to use as plinth also panels of standard height, typically 18 cm, since it is no longer necessary that the top panel is higher than the door.
  • the invention is applied to reduced-height dishwashers housed in a space of the furniture usually intended to house drawers, or shelves or an oven.
  • a domestic appliance according to the present invention is provided with a mounting and moving system of a bottom panel 12 which clearly results arranged flush between the decorative panel 11 of door 9 and a panel 13 of the underlying piece of furniture (e.g. the front face of a drawer).
  • This system includes a support 1, secured in the front portion of the base 10 of the domestic appliance, on which are pivoted an upper rod 2 and a lower rod 3 (not visible in fig.1) of a parallelogram hinge, through respective pins B and A.
  • the forward ends of these rods 2, 3 are also connected through respective pins B', A' to a plate 4 which carries the bottom panel 12, and a return spring (not illustrated) is arranged between the lower rod 3 and base 10.
  • a lever 5 On support 1, through a relevant pin G, there is also pivoted a lever 5 extending downward into a portion where a slot 15 is formed, as well as upward into a portion that carries at its distal end a low-friction push member, preferably a roller 16.
  • Support 1 also carries a horizontal rod 8 that is pivoted at the forward end through a pin C to a bar 6 integral with door 9, while at the rear end it is guided by a pin D, secured to support 1, sliding within a slot 14.
  • the horizontal rod 8 is also connected to the upper rod 2 through a connecting rod 7 pivoted between a pin E, located in the lower portion of rod 8, and a pin F located at the bottom end of a bottom extension 2' of rod 2 extending below pin B. Said pin F connecting rods 2 and 7 also slides within slot 15 of lever 5.
  • roller 16 abuts against the rear of the lower rod 3 close to the top pin A'. Moreover, in said position, bar 6 and lever 5 are substantially vertical and pin C is at the lowest point of his movement path, well below pin D.
  • door 9 (thanks to "variable fulcrum" hinges) performs a rototranslational movement that prevents at the beginning of the opening the interference between panel 11 and the underlying panel 12 (fig.2).
  • the door opening movement, through bar 6 and pin C, causes the rising and rearward translation of the horizontal rod 8 on the fixed pin D, while determining a counter-clockwise rotation of the push lever 5 around pin G, due to the sliding of pin F within slot 15, and a traction on the connecting rod 7 through pin E.
  • This calculated movement of panel 12 allows the advancing and rearward inclination thereof without interference either with the overlying panel 11 or the underlying panel 13.
  • rods 2, 3 When the complete opening of door 9 is reached (fig.5), rods 2, 3 have taken a downwardly inclined position bringing panel 12 to an advanced and lowered position in which there is no interference with panel 11. It should also be noted that the lower rod 3 is shaped so as to avoid interference with the underlying panel 13, since the straight connection line between pins A, A' is lower than the top edge of said panel.
  • pin F abuts against the bottom end of slot 15, acting as an end stop, and pin C is at the highest point of his movement path, just above pin D.
