Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a top cover for a household appliance, such as a washing machine, drying machine, dishwasher or the like, and to an appliance provided with such a top cover.
  • top covers of household appliances such as washing machines, drying machines and dishwashers
  • a chipboard to which are attached a number of decorative and mounting elements, providing the assembly with a double function, namely aesthetic and of closure of the upper part of the apparatus.
  • the top cover is attached to the appliance by means of screws or a similar fastening means.
  • the object of the present invention is to solve the above mentioned drawbacks of the prior art by providing a top cover for a household appliance which can integrate an ironing board in such a manner as to leave the top surface of the appliance free.
  • the present invention relates to a top cover for a household appliance, intended to be arranged on the appliance to constitute the upper part thereof, wherein said top cover comprises a housing having a front side, characterised in that it further comprises: a recess formed in said housing and open towards said front side; an extractable body received in said recess and at least partly extractable therefrom in a sliding extraction movement in a direction at right angles to said front side of the top cover housing; an ironing board arranged on said extractable body such as to be movable with respect to said body between a storage position and at least one working position; and anchoring means to anchor said ironing board to said extractable body, said anchoring means being such as to allow said ironing board to be positioned in a plurality of horizontal working positions at different angles.
  • the top cover according to the invention has been developed from the idea of using the hollow space inside a normal appliance top cover, such that the appliance can maintain its standard dimensions and external look.
  • the above defined top cover stores the ironing board safely and without taking up any otherwise useful space, and allows its deployment to a working position in a practical manner; by virtue of the provision of the extractable body concealed inside the top cover, the upper surface of the appliance remains free and smooth, as in a standard appliance. Furthermore, the ironing board is stored in a closed space, protected from dust and the like.
  • the top cover according to the invention can be applied to any usual household appliance in a fast and simple way; it can be provided together with the appliance, or as a kit to be applied to an existing appliance.
  • the ironing board is rotatably mounted on the extractable body about a vertical axis, and preferably it is rotatable on said extractable body by an angle of at least 90°.
  • the ironing board preferably comprises at least two sections hinged to each other about a horizontal axis; the board may comprise a proximal section rotatably mounted on the extractable body and a distal section hinged to said proximal section about a horizontal axis.
  • said distal section can be rotated about the horizontal hinge axis over substantially 180° between a folded position in which it rests on said proximal section and a deployed position in which both sections are aligned forming a longer ironing board.
  • the ironing board is arranged with its longer side parallel to the front side of the housing.
  • the top cover further comprising at least one foldable leg; in case of a board with a proximal and a distal section, the leg may be hinged to the distal section of the ironing board, such as to provide better support to said distal section.
  • the leg is hinged to the ironing board such as to be movable from a folded position in which it rests folded in contact with the ironing board and a deployed position in which it extends substantially at right angles with respect to said board.
  • the leg comprises an upper section and a lower section, said upper section being hinged at one end to the ironing board and at the other end to said lower section, said lower section being intended to rest on the ground at its end opposite the hinge end when the leg is fully deployed and the ironing board is in working position.
  • the two sections can be folded on each other when the assembly is inside the top cover, taking up a minimum space, while the sum of their lengths when deployed is enough to provide support on the floor for the ironing board.
  • the lower section may comprise advantageously at least two supporting bars, hinged to the upper leg section, and at least two securing struts, each strut being hinged to one of the supporting bars and to the other strut.
  • the leg may further comprise a stabilising bar, hinged at one end to an intermediate point of the upper section, and having a slider at the other end, said slider being engaged in a guide of the ironing board.
  • the present invention relates to a household appliance comprising a top cover as described above.
  • a household appliance 1 is provided with a top cover 2 which closes its upper side and forms the top surface of the appliance.
  • the top cover 2 has essentially the configuration of a housing 3, having a flat parallelepipedic configuration.
  • a recess 5 which is open towards the front side of the housing, i.e. towards the front side of the appliance 1.
  • a removable cover 4 is provided on the front side of the housing to close the recess 5.
  • the body 6 consists essentially in a flat platform, on which is anchored an ironing board 7; the board 7 is anchored on the body 6 by means of a rotatable coupling 8 having a vertical axis (see figure 8), such that it can turn horizontally with respect to the body 6 and it can be set in any desired angular position.
  • the ironing board 7 is constituted by a proximal section 71, anchored to the extractable body 6, and a distal section 72, coupled to the proximal section by means of a horizontal hinge axis, such that when the assembly is in the storage position the distal section 72 is folded over the proximal section 71 and rests on it, thus taking up a minimum length, but it can be rotated over 180° in order to deploy the ironing board to its full length.
  • Figure 3 shows the ironing board 7 on the extractable body 6 in the position it adopts when the assembly is concealed inside the top cover and during the extraction of the body from the top cover: as can be seen, the board 7 is folded and arranged with its longer side parallel to the front side of the housing.
  • the first steps of the deployment of the ironing board can be seen in the sequence of figures 1 to 4: at the beginning, the whole assembly is received in the recess 5 inside the housing 3, and concealed by the cover 4.
  • the cover 4 In order to extract the ironing board, in the first place (figure 2) the cover 4 is opened, and the extractable body 6 with the ironing board 7 is pulled out to the position of figure 3.
  • the ironing board 7 is then caused to rotate about coupling 8 over an angle, such as 90°, as shown by arrow B of figure 4. This causes the ironing board to be positioned at right angles to the front of the top cover and appliance.
  • the top cover further comprises a foldable leg 9; a first embodiment of said leg can be seen in figures 5 to 8.
  • the foldable leg 9 comprises an upper section 10 and a lower section 11.
  • the upper section is constituted by a number of parallel bars 10 having an end hinged to the underside of the distal section 72 of the ironing board 7.
  • a stabilising bar 16 is hinged at one end thereof to an intermediate point of the upper section 10, and has a slider 17 at the other end; the slider is engaged in a guide 18 which is atached to the distal section 72 of the ironing board, as shown in figure 6).
  • the lower section is made up by two sets of supporting bars 12 and 13, each bar 12,13 being hinged at one end to the free end of the bars 10 of the upper section, and some securing struts 14,15; each strut 14,15 is hinged to one of the supporting bars 12,13 at one end, and to the other strut at the other end.
  • the struts 14 and 15 are caused to rotate with respect to each other and with respect to support bars 12,13, such as to be aligned and rest on the floor.
  • the securing struts 14,15 keep the bars 12,13 in a suitable position for supporting the ironing board.
  • this leg structure allows the leg 9 to be stored folded and flat on of the board 7 and to be easily deployed, and at the same time guarantees appropriate support for the ironing board.
  • Figures 9 to 12 show a top cover with a different foldable leg 90, in several positions during deployment of the ironing board. As shown, in this case the leg 90 is unfolded after the distal section 72 of the ironing board 7 has been rotated (in figure 9) to its deployed position (figure 10).
