Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of built-in domestic appliances, and in particular to a device for coupling an access door of a household appliance to an outer covering panel.
  • a bottom end of the panel is hinged directly to either the furniture or the machine structure, and a top portion of the panel is slidably connected to the machine door.
  • a device for coupling an access door of a household appliance, in particular a dishwashing machine, to a covering panel comprising a top sliding coupling between the door and the panel and a bottom hinge connection for the panel; the device being characterized in that the hinge connection comprises at least one fulcrum adapter, having a seat engaged by a pin that is integrally carried by an inner surface of the panel facing the door; and connection members for fixing the adapter to a recessed bottom portion of the appliance in such a way the adapter projects frontally from the appliance and below and spaced apart from a bottom edge of the door.
  • a first advantage of the device according to the invention is the extreme structural simplicity, which makes the solution easy and cheap; a few components are required, and all components are easy and cheap to be manufactured and assembled. At the same time, the device of the invention is also fully effective and reliable in use.
  • the device of the invention allows the covering panel to be easily and simply mounted on the inner door, without requiring any modification of either the machine structure or the furniture.
  • a mounting kit for coupling an access door of a household appliance, in particular a dishwashing machine, to a covering panel; the kit comprising at least one guide, to be fixed to an inner surface of the panel and engaged by a slide that slides along the guide and is hingedly connectable to the door; at least a support element provided with a pin and to be fixed to the inner surface of the panel; at least one fulcrum adapter, having a seat for housing the pin; and connection members for fixing the adapter to the appliance.
  • kit as a whole is very simple and cheap to manufacture, and can be used with different appliances.
  • number 1 indicates an electric household appliance, in particular an inbuilt (“fully-integrated”) dishwashing machine; nevertheless, the following description also applies to any type of household appliance having a casing with an inner chamber closed by an access door hinged to the casing.
  • Appliance 1 comprises a casing 2, having an inner chamber 3 and an opening 4 for access to chamber 3, and an access door 5, hingedly connected to casing 2 for opening/closing opening 4.
  • Door 5 is mounted on casing 2 in a known way, for example by conventional hinges 6 positioned in a front lower portion of casing 2; door 5 is hinged to casing 2 along a bottom edge 7 of door 5 and moves about a substantially horizontal rotation axis R1.
  • Appliance 1 comprises a recessed bottom portion 8 having a bottom front recess 9 that is defined by a front projection of casing 2 with respect to a base or plinth 10 of appliance 1.
  • Recess 9 is delimited by a rear wall 11 and an upper wall 12, substantially perpendicular to one another, of portion 8.
  • Appliance 1 is housed inside a piece of furniture 14 (only partially and schematically shown) and door 5 is coupled to an outer decorative covering panel 15 applied to door 5 and connected to door 5 by a coupling device 20.
  • Device 20 comprises a top sliding coupling 21 between door 5 and panel 15 and a bottom hinge connection 22 for connecting panel 15 to casing 2 and specifically to portion 8 of appliance 1.
  • sliding coupling 21 comprises at least one guide 23, fixed to an inner surface 24 of panel 15 facing door 5 and engaged by a slide 25 sliding along guide 23; slide 25 is hingedly connected to door 5, for example by a pin 26 projecting from door 5 and rotatably housed in a hole formed in slide 25.
  • sliding coupling 21 comprises a pair of guides 23 engaged by respective slides 25 hingedly connected to door 5 and positioned at respective side ends of door 5.
  • hinge connection 22 comprises at least one fulcrum adapter 27, having a seat 28 engaged by a pin 29 that is integrally carried by inner surface 24 of panel 15; and connection members 30 for fixing adapter 27 to portion 8 of appliance 1 in such a way adapter 27 projects frontally from appliance 1 and below and spaced apart from bottom edge 7 of door 5.
  • adapter 27 is fastened to portion 8 by a rear connection 31 and by a side and/or upper connection 32 and along two connection directions D1, D2 substantially perpendicular to one another.
  • Adapter 27 has a monolithic bracket-like body 33, preferably made of a plastic (polymeric) material.
  • adapter 27 consists of a single-piece element of plastic (polymeric) material.
  • body 33 is substantially plate-shaped and has a peripheral edge 34 and reinforcing ribs 35.
  • Adapter 27 is positioned in recess 9 and projects frontally from appliance 1 beyond a front edge 36 of appliance.
  • Adapter 27 is connected to portion 8 of appliance 1 by a rear connection portion 41 and by a side/upper connection portion 42 spaced apart from one another along peripheral edge 34; peripheral edge 34 contacts both walls 11, 12.
  • Fastening members 30 comprise, for example, fastening seats 30a formed in connection portions 41, 42, and fastening elements 30b, for example fastening pins or screws, engaging seats 30a along connection directions D1, D2 and fixed to walls 11, 12. It is however understood that other kinds of fastening members may be used.
  • Adapter 27 extends substantially along an axis A between two longitudinal ends 43, 44; end 43 is a connection end connected to appliance 1, and end 44 is a free end provided with seat 28.
  • seat 28 is defined by an end hook portion 45 of adapter 27 positioned at free end 42; seat 28 has an upper insertion opening 46 formed in peripheral edge 34.
  • Pin 29 is carried by a support element 47 ( Figure 2 ) fixed to and projecting from inner surface 24 of panel 15.
  • Support element 47 comprises a pair of lateral sides 48 and pin 29 is positioned between respective free ends of sides 48 to define a housing 49 in which hook portion 45 is inserted, so that pin 29 engages seat 28.
  • bottom hinge connection 22 of device 20 comprises a pair of fulcrum adapters 27, provided with respective seats 28, and a pair of support elements 39, provided with respective pins 29 engaging seats 28, as described above, and positioned on opposite sides of recessed portion 8 of appliance 1.
  • panel 15 is connected to door 5 by device 20; opening of panel 15 by a user also causes door 5 to open.
  • Panel 15 rotates around a rotation axis R2 defined by pin(s) 29 inserted in seat(s) 28, and a bottom end portion 50 of panel 5 moves in recess 9.
  • Rotation axes R1, R2 are substantially parallel and vertically spaced apart form one another.
