Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an engagement of a junction member and a sheet-type carrier support with said junction member being a receptacle of a closure of a drum-type household machine, preferably a receptacle of a safety closure of said drum-type household machine, and said sheet-type carrier support being, e.g., a front wall of said drum-type household machine, with said engagement constituting a detachable connection of an inserting projection of said junction member, as a material member, and an opening provided in said sheet-type carrier support, as intangibility.
  • an engagement of a junction member and a sheet-type carrier support being invariant to the orientation of said junction member with respect to said carrier support, more precisely looking for an engagement of a junction member and a sheet-type carrier support being substantially invariant to the configuration of a front wall of the machine, it is a goal of the present invention to provide an engagement based on a single recess.
  • said goal is obtained by that with its front bar-shaped extension, said inserting projection of a junction member as set forth in the preamble of claim 1 provides a substantially trough-shaped or a trough-like recess, whose distal edge is flush with a side of an opening provided in said sheet-type carrier support, while its proximal edge is flush with an outer surface of a front wall of a housing of said junction member.
  • a trough-shaped or a trough-like recess indicate each and every intangibility serving as a receptacle to accommodate a material part adapted to it, and the terms distal / proximal refer to the position of a functional unit of said junction member relative to said front bar-shaped extension. Mounting of the inserting projection into the opening is evidently facilitated provided that said recess resided with said front bar-shaped extension of said junction member is a trough-shaped recess.
  • said outer surface of the front wall of the housing of the junction member is limited, according to an embodiment of the present invention, by two L-sections with said front wall of the housing of said junction member and said L-sections constituting a C-section arranged normally to said recess. Said L-sections are advantageously used to increase the stability of the mounted junction member, since they reside outside the area of the receiving opening.
  • a slide plate is adapted to and inserted into said C-section that in this case acts as guidance.
  • the substance of the embodiment resides in said slide plate, since no tool is required for its inserting and removal, respectively.
  • a front end of said slide plate is shaped to form a bar-like or a substantially bar-like feather adapted to said recess with the term front determining the respective direction of inserting the slide plate. Obtaining a locking connection based on mating said recess and said bar-like feather is thus evident.
  • junction member comprising a sensor of door openness of household appliances (Lavrencic) (only shown by indication of an outline of its housing) cf the patent application, No. P200400269 of Sep. 28, 2004 , filed in Slovenia, and published on 30 th April 2006 as SI 21887 .
  • Each drawing is an orthogonal elevation.
  • the engagement composed of a sensor of door openness of household appliances (junction member) and a front wall of a washing machine (sheet-type carrier support) is a detachable connection of an inserting projection 1 of said sensor (a material part) and an opening 2 of a front wall of a washing machine (intangibility) with said inserting projection providing an orifice for entering a latch (not shown) arranged on a wing of a door of said washing machine, said sensor being fastened on the inner side of said front wall of said washing machine, and said inserting projection 1, when assembled, residing on the outer side of said front wall of said washing machine, thus outside visible.
  • the opening 2 is rectangular having a long side a and a short side b with said long side constituting vertical limitations of said opening and said short side constituting horizontal limitations of said opening.
  • the extent a of the inserting projection 1 corresponds to the extent a of the opening 2.
  • the inserting projection 1 has a surplus of said extent ( FIG. 1 ). With a first end, it has a front bar-shaped or substantially bar-like extension 3 parallel to the side a and extending beyond the side b, and with a second end, it has a rear bar-shaped or substantially bar-like extension 4 also parallel to the side a and extending beyond the side b.
  • Each of them provides a support area 3', 4' oriented to the outer surface O of the front wall of the washing machine with the normal spacing from the supporting area L of the junction member being adapted to the thickness ⁇ of the material of the front wall of the washing machine.
  • the support area 3' of the bar-like extension 3 constitutes a bearing surface to retain the side a of the opening 2 with the riser 5, then abutting the side a , being arranged normally to the support area 3' and projecting into the inside of the junction member.
  • the bar-like extension 4 of the inserting projection 1 provides a trough-like recess 6 having a width b', whose distal edge is flush with the side a of the opening 2, while its proximal edge is flush with an outer surface F of a front wall of a housing of the junction member.
  • the outer surface F of the front wall of the housing of the junction member is limited by two L-sections 7 positioned normally to the front wall of the washing machine.
  • the front wall of the housing of the junction member and the L-sections 7 constitute a C-section arranged normally to the recess 6.
  • a slide plate 8 is adapted to and inserted into said C-section that in this case acts as a guidance.
  • a front end of the slide plate 8 is shaped to form a bar-like feather 9 having a length a , a thickness b' and a height equal to the sum of the depression of the recess 6 and the thickness ⁇ of the material of the front wall of the washing machine.
  • the two notches 12 slide over the two counter notches 13 and engage them in the position of accommodating the bar-like feather 9 in the trough-like recess 6.
  • the disassembling of the slide plate 8 precedes in the reverse way.
  • junction member a sensor of door openness of household appliances
  • sheet-type carrier support a front wall of a drum-type household machine
