DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Within this detailed description, the invention is being described via appended figures for only explanatory purposes without having any limiting powers.
The application of the invention illustrated in Figure 1 is depicted with a bridge (4) that composes a connection between a rectangular cover (2) of which a side is in semi circular form and, a chuck (3) that is similar but of which the rectangular length is shorter.
The holder appliances (6) that prevent movement freedom during circumstances such as transportation of oscillation equipment (5) of washing machine illustrated in Figure 3, are composed of a long pin passing through a bore (1 ) opened on the front surface (1 .3) over the frame (1 ) of washing machine illustrated in Figure 2 and, a plastic locking component that is formed to make the pin hold onto the front surface (1 .3). Since the pin enters into a bore formed over the oscillation set, it prevents the movement of oscillation set during transportation. The fixing bore (1 .2) formed over the front surface (1 .3) of the frame (1 ) and that opens corresponding to a 30Q arc over the upper half thereof via a circular lock hole
(1 .1 ) establishes the bearing for holder appliances.
Whilst the movement of holder elements along the extension direction within said bearing is prevented by narrow form of the fixation bore (1 .2), the chuck element (3) makes the holder element remain on the front surface (1 .3).
On lower part of the smooth edge of the chuck (3), there are gripping extensions (3.1 ) composed of two prismatic projections parallel along each other. On the part the gripping extensions (3.1 ) end on the rear part of the chuck (3), there are two-piece recess ring (3.3) that makes an approximately 60Q arc each but makes a space with its external peripheral edge (3.5). On the final edge of two pieces, which makes the ring (3.3), facing each other, there is a lock claw (3.2) that faces the aperture corresponding to the center of circular part of the chuck (3).
When the holder elements are inserted within lock hole and fixing bore (1 .1 , 1 .2), there becomes a chuck (3) form aperture under lock bore (1 .1 ). The chuck (3) is located through said aperture so as to place on the peripheral edge of lock hold (1 .1 ) of recess ring (3.3). In the meantime, the lock claw (3.2) stretches and gets locked on the front surface (1 .3) while the holder elements are driving through drive plane (3.4) of the chuck. The chuck extensions (3.1 ) limit the holder elements by contacting from upper surfaces thereof to the lower surface of holder elements.
When the holder elements are removed from the lock and fixing bore (1 .1 , 1 .2) by lock claw (3.2) being pulled out and the chuck (3) being dislocated, a cover (2) is fitted to fill the space. The cover (2) has holder extensions (2.2) that guide the cover from two corresponding edges against a centering projection (2.3) and a fixing bore
(1 .2) that corresponds to the end point of fixing bore (1 .2). Since the peripheral edge thereof forms a wider area than the bores (1 .1 , 1 .2), it makes this get closed by being applied into the bore (1 .1 , 1 .2) with the chuck (3). The driving surface (3.4) of the chuck (3) and the contact surface (2.1 ) of the cover (2) are being mounted so as to adhere each other and the cover (2) driven by the lock claw (3.2) and the chuck (3) stands still.
Over the circular peripheral surfaces of the cover (2) and the chuck (3), two parallel bridges (4) are formed both contacting the cover (2) and the chuck (3) on either sides. The bridge (4) is composed of a circular section rod (4.2) and, one each narrow section neck (4.1 ) parts that are connected through a narrowing sectioned passing formed on two ends thereof.
The chuck (3) and cover (2) connection part of the neck (4.1 ) of the bridge is immobile. Since a connection via two bridges (4) parallel to each other is provided, the supports thereof form a kinematics chain similar to the spherical four-rods mechanism. In said application of the invention, the bridge (4), the cover (2) and the chuck (3) is integrally made via plastic injection.
The neck (4.1 ) thickness also defines the connection surface of the bridge (4) with the cover (2) and the chuck (3). The neck (4.1 ) is in a diameter, for example 0,5 - 1 mm thickness, which a user may easily detach. Thanks to utility of plastic material, the cover (2) and the chuck (3) may move in vertical manner to the width axis according to each other. Since double bridge (4) is used, the movement is in the form of neck-centered (4.1 ) rotation. Therefore, when the holder appliances are fitted and the chuck (3) is mounted, the rod (4.2) realizes a neck-centered (4.1 ) rotation by contacting the front surface (1 .3) and makes the cover (2) moderately stay suspended and, prevents it to be detached through cut tension in case of holder mounting.
When the holder elements are removed, the chuck (3) and the cover (2) are contrarily pulled and the neck (4.1 ) connections are being detached from peripheral edges (2.4, 3.5) they are connected with. Thus the cover (2) becomes independent and the mounting thereof in place of holder elements is realized readily. Since there are no need for peripheral edges (2.4, 3.5) contact each other, the crusts remained at detached areas do not cause a negative circumstance.
The scope of protection of the invention is as defined in the appended claims and cannot be restricted with the illustrations in this detailed description. It is obvious that a skilled person in the art may suggest similar constructions in view of the foregoing without departing the scope of the invention.
