Description

La présente invention concerne un appareil électroménager, notamment machine à laver et à sécher la vaisselle équipée d'une table de cuisson, comprenant des moyens de maintien adaptés à maintenir ledit appareil électroménager contre un mur.The present invention relates to a household appliance, especially a washing machine and dryer dishes equipped with a hob, comprising holding means adapted to maintain said appliance against a wall.

De nombreux appareils électroménager sont sujets au basculement. En particulier, les machines à laver et à sécher la vaisselle en pose libre et équipées d'une porte avant rabattable sont susceptibles de basculer lors de l'ouverture de ladite porte.Many home appliances are subject to failover. In particular, free-standing washing and drying machines equipped with a folding front door may swing when opening said door.

Ce basculement des appareils électroménager est d'autant plus gênant lorsque ceux-ci sont équipés d'une table de cuisson sur leur partie supérieure. Le basculement de ces appareils électroménager peut alors entraîner des débordements des récipients de cuisson placés sur le plan de cuisson de la table de cuisson, voire la chute de ces récipients de cuisson.This switchover appliances is even more troublesome when they are equipped with a hob on their upper part. The tilting of these appliances can then cause overflows of the cooking vessels placed on the hob of the hob, or even the fall of these cooking containers.

On connaît déjà des dispositifs anti-basculement pour appareils électroménager permettant de maintenir ceux-ci contre un mur.There are already known anti-tilting devices for household appliances to maintain them against a wall.

On connaît le document US-A-5 076 525 qui décrit un appareil de cuisson avec une équerre fixée dans un mur. L'appareil de cuisson vient s'encastrer sur cette équerre en partie inférieure et arrière de la carrosserie l'appareil.We know the document US-A-5,076,525 which describes a cooking appliance with a bracket fixed in a wall. The cooking appliance is embedded on this bracket at the bottom and rear of the bodywork.

Cependant, ces dispositifs anti-basculement pour appareil électroménager présentent l'inconvénient de ne pas rendre inévitable la fixation de l'appareil électroménager au mur lors de l'installation de celui-ci.However, these anti-tip devices for household appliances have the disadvantage of not making it inevitable the attachment of the appliance to the wall during installation thereof.

En outre, ces dispositifs anti-basculement sont difficiles à installer puisque l'appareil électroménager doit être maintenu par le mur. Le faible espace entre le mur et l'appareil électroménager ne permet pas un assemblage aisé du dispositif anti-basculement.In addition, these anti-tilt devices are difficult to install since the appliance must be maintained by the wall. The small space between the wall and the appliance does not allow easy assembly of the anti-tilt device.

Par conséquent, de tels dispositifs anti-basculement repoussent l'utilisateur à installer ceux-ci pour éviter tout basculement de l'appareil électroménager.Therefore, such anti-tip devices push the user to install them to prevent tipping the appliance.

Une installation incomplète ou non réalisée des appareils électroménager est fréquemment constatée, d'où une fixation de l'appareil électroménager au mur non garantie.Incomplete or incomplete installation of household appliances is frequently noted, resulting in the attachment of the appliance to the unsecured wall.

On connaît également un document JP 10 323249 qui décrit un dispositif de retenue pour l'assemblage d'un corps sous forme d'un boîtier à un mur placé le long dudit corps. Le dispositif de retenue est une pièce métallique ayant une section en forme de L. Cette pièce métallique comprend une surface plane au travers de laquelle un boulon est inséré dans une ouverture, et une autre surface plane perpendiculaire à ladite surface plane comportant des trous de fixation. La surface plane est appliquée sur la paroi supérieure du boîtier et le boulon est vissé au travers de ladite ouverture et d'un trou du boîtier. Et une vis est vissée au travers d'un desdits trous de fixation de ladite autre surface plane et au travers du mur.A document is also known JP 10323249 which describes a retainer for assembling a body in the form of a housing to a wall placed along said body. The retainer is a metal part having an L-shaped section. This metal part comprises a flat surface through which a bolt is inserted into an opening, and another flat surface perpendicular to said flat surface having fixing holes. . The flat surface is applied to the top wall of the housing and the bolt is threaded through said opening and a hole in the housing. And a screw is screwed through one of said fixing holes of said other flat surface and through the wall.

La présente invention a pour but de résoudre les inconvénients précités et de proposer un appareil électroménager permettant de solidariser ledit appareil électroménager avec un mur de sorte à éviter le basculement de celui-ci lors d'une contrainte en dehors de l'usage normal à l'aide de moyens de maintien simples esthétiques et visuellement inesthétiques en cas de non installation.The present invention aims to solve the aforementioned drawbacks and to provide an appliance for securing said appliance with a wall so as to prevent the tilting thereof during a stress outside the normal use of the appliance. help simple aesthetic and visually unsightly maintenance means in case of non-installation.

A cet effet, la présente invention vise un appareil électroménager, notamment machine à laver et à sécher la vaisselle équipée d'une table de cuisson, comprenant des moyens de maintien adaptés à maintenir ledit appareil électroménager contre un mur, lesdits moyens de maintien comprenant :

  • une équerre comprenant au moins un premier trou de fixation adapté à coopérer avec des moyens de fixation sur le mur et au moins un second trou de fixation adapté à coopérer avec des moyens de fixation sur ledit appareil électroménager ;
  • une broche de verrouillage adaptée à coopérer avec ledit au moins un second trou de fixation.
For this purpose, the present invention relates to a household appliance, especially a washing machine and to drying dishes equipped with a hob, comprising holding means adapted to maintain said appliance against a wall, said holding means comprising:
  • a bracket comprising at least a first fixing hole adapted to cooperate with fixing means on the wall and at least a second fixing hole adapted to cooperate with fixing means on said appliance;
  • a locking pin adapted to cooperate with said at least one second fixing hole.

Selon l'invention, lesdits moyens de maintien comprennent en outre :

  • un moyen d'obstruction dudit au moins un second trou de fixation adapté à coopérer avec ladite équerre de sorte à autoriser le passage de ladite broche de verrouillage dans ledit au moins un second trou de fixation si ledit appareil électroménager est en position de maintien contre le mur.
According to the invention, said holding means furthermore comprise:
  • means for obstructing said at least one second fixing hole adapted to cooperate with said bracket so as to allow the passage of said locking pin in said at least one second fixing hole if said appliance is in a holding position against the Wall.

Ainsi, les moyens de maintien de l'appareil électroménager obligent l'utilisateur ou l'installateur à mettre en oeuvre ces moyens de maintien de sorte à assurer un appareil électroménager conforme esthétiquement et installé en toute sécurité.Thus, the holding means of the household appliance obliges the user or the installer to implement these holding means so as to ensure a household appliance aesthetically compliant and installed safely.

L'équerre est fixée à un mur par des moyens de fixation passant au travers d'au moins un premier trou de fixation et à un appareil électroménager par des moyens de fixation passant au travers d'au moins un second trou de fixation.The bracket is secured to a wall by fastening means passing through at least a first mounting hole and an appliance by fastening means passing through at least a second fixing hole.

La broche de verrouillage masque un trou de fixation dans une paroi de la carrosserie de l'appareil électroménager lorsque ledit appareil électroménager est mis en place contre un mur et que les moyens de maintien dudit appareil électroménager sont mis en oeuvre et reliés d'une part au mur et d'autre part audit appareil électroménager.The locking pin masks a fixing hole in a wall of the body of the appliance when said appliance is placed against a wall and the holding means of said appliance are implemented and connected on the one hand on the wall and on the other hand to said appliance.

Un moyen d'obstruction obture le passage de la broche de verrouillage au travers dudit au moins un second trou de fixation tant que l'équerre n'est pas conformément fixée à un mur et l'appareil électroménager positionné contre le mur.An obstruction means seals the passage of the locking pin through said at least one second fixing hole as long as the bracket is not properly fixed to a wall and the appliance positioned against the wall.

L'équerre 4 est de forme sensiblement en L dont une première partie 4b est sensiblement parallèle au mur 3 et une seconde partie 4a est sensiblement perpendiculaire à ladite première partie 4b de ladite équerre 4.The bracket 4 is substantially L-shaped, a first portion 4b is substantially parallel to the wall 3 and a second portion 4a is substantially perpendicular to said first portion 4b of said bracket 4.

La broche de verrouillage 7 masque ledit au moins un second trou de fixation 6 lorsque ledit appareil électroménager 1 est mis en place contre un mur 3 et que les moyens de maintien 2 dudit appareil électroménager 1 sont mis en oeuvre et reliés d'une part au mur 3 et d'autre part audit appareil électroménager 1.The locking pin 7 masks said at least one second fixing hole 6 when said appliance 1 is placed against a wall 3 and the holding means 2 of said appliance 1 are used and connected on the one hand to the wall 3 and on the other hand to said appliance 1.

La broche de verrouillage 7 a une forme de révolution.The locking pin 7 has a shape of revolution.

Cette broche de verrouillage 7 permet de maintenir en position l'appareil électroménager 1 par le passage au travers d'un second trou de fixation 6 de l'équerre 4 et d'éviter ainsi le basculement dudit appareil électroménager 1.This locking pin 7 makes it possible to hold the appliance 1 in position by passing through a second fixing hole 6 of the bracket 4 and thus preventing the tilting of said appliance 1.

Cette broche de verrouillage 7 est insérée dans un second trou de fixation 6 de l'équerre 4 selon une direction sensiblement perpendiculaire à la partie de ladite équerre 4 se logeant dans l'appareil électroménager 1.This locking pin 7 is inserted into a second fixing hole 6 of the bracket 4 in a direction substantially perpendicular to the portion of said bracket 4 housed in the appliance 1.

Un moyen d'obstruction 8 obture le passage de la broche de verrouillage 7 au travers dudit au moins un second trou de fixation 6 tant que l'équerre 4 n'est pas conformément fixée à un mur 3 et l'appareil électroménager 1 positionné contre le mur 3.An obstruction means 8 closes the passage of the locking pin 7 through said at least one second fixing hole 6 as the bracket 4 is not in conformity with a wall 3 and the appliance 1 positioned against the wall 3.

Le moyen d'obstruction 8 comprend un bras mis en déplacement par l'insertion de l'équerre 4 à l'intérieur d'un logement 9 de l'appareil électroménager 1 permettant le verrouillage et le déverrouillage des moyens de maintien 2.The obstruction means 8 comprises an arm moved by the insertion of the bracket 4 inside a housing 9 of the appliance 1 for locking and unlocking the holding means 2.

L'appareil électroménager 1 comprend dans sa partie arrière, le logement 9 dans lequel peut pénétrer l'équerre 4. Le logement 9 est préférentiellement en partie supérieure, et dans un plan de travail 10.The appliance 1 comprises in its rear part, the housing 9 in which can enter the bracket 4. The housing 9 is preferably in the upper part, and in a work plane 10.

La disposition du logement 9 en partie supérieure et arrière de l'appareil électroménager 1 permet de faciliter la vision des moyens de maintien 2 et de s'assurer de leur installation. Une non installation des moyens de maintien 2 dans le logement 9 situé en partie supérieure et arrière de l'appareil électroménager 1 occasionne un trou notamment dans le plan de travail 10 en lieu et place de la broche de verrouillage 7. Ce trou dans le plan de travail 10 nuit à l'esthétique de l'appareil électroménager 1 et incite l'utilisateur à mettre en oeuvre les moyens de maintien 2.The provision of the housing 9 in the upper and rear part of the appliance 1 makes it easier to see the holding means 2 and to make sure of their installation. A non installation of the holding means 2 in the housing 9 located in the upper and rear part of the appliance 1 causes a hole in particular in the work plane 10 instead of the locking pin 7. This hole in the plane work 10 night the aesthetics of the appliance 1 and encourages the user to implement the holding means 2.

Le positionnement des moyens de maintien 2 en partie supérieure de l'appareil électroménager 1 permet de faciliter l'accès audits moyens de maintien 2 lorsque ledit appareil électroménager 1 est inséré dans un logement comprenant une paroi de chaque côté dudit appareil électroménager 1 et un mur 3 en vis-à-vis de la paroi de fond dudit appareil électroménager 1.The positioning of the holding means 2 in the upper part of the appliance 1 facilitates access to said holding means 2 when said appliance 1 is inserted into a housing comprising a wall on each side of said appliance 1 and a wall 3 vis-à-vis the bottom wall of said appliance 1.

Les parois disposées de part et d'autre de l'appareil électroménager 1 peuvent être par exemple formées par deux meubles, deux autres appareils électroménagers, un meuble et un mur etc.The walls disposed on either side of the household appliance 1 may for example be formed by two pieces of furniture, two other household appliances, a piece of furniture and a wall, etc.

Les moyens de maintien 2 d'un appareil électroménager conforme à l'invention sont simples, esthétiques et peu onéreux tout en indiquant de manière visuelle la fonction de sécurité à mettre en oeuvre de sorte à garantir le non basculement dudit appareil électroménager 1. La visualisation des moyens de maintien 2 à mettre en oeuvre permet d'éviter d'oublier de les assembler lors de l'installation de l'appareil électroménager 1 ou lors de toute manipulation de ce dernier au cours de sa vie.The holding means 2 of a household appliance in accordance with the invention are simple, aesthetic and inexpensive, while visually indicating the safety function to be implemented so as to guarantee the non-tilting of said appliance 1. The visualization holding means 2 to implement avoids forgetting to assemble during the installation of the appliance 1 or during any manipulation of the latter during his lifetime.

Lors de la livraison de l'appareil électroménager 1, les moyens de maintien 2 comprenant notamment une équerre 4, une broche de verrouillage 7 peuvent être soit placés dans une pochette soit pré assemblés sur ledit appareil électroménager 1, et préférentiellement dépasser du plan de travail 10.At the delivery of the appliance 1, the holding means 2 including a bracket 4, a locking pin 7 can be either placed in a pocket or pre-assembled on said appliance 1, and preferentially exceed the work plan 10.

L'équerre 4 peut être fixée contre le mur 3 avec des éléments de vissage 13 tels que par exemple des chevilles et des vis, lesdites vis traversant ladite équerre 4.The bracket 4 can be fixed against the wall 3 with screwing elements 13 such as for example pins and screws, said screws passing through said bracket 4.

Après la fixation de l'équerre 4 contre le mur 3, l'appareil électroménager 1 est plaqué contre le mur 3 de telle sorte que ladite équerre 4 des moyens de maintien 2 pénètre à l'intérieur du logement 9 dudit appareil électroménager 1.After fixing the bracket 4 against the wall 3, the appliance 1 is pressed against the wall 3 so that said bracket 4 of the holding means 2 penetrates inside the housing 9 of said appliance 1.

Avantageusement, l'équerre 4 est insérée dans un logement 9 de la carrosserie dudit appareil électroménager 1 au travers d'une ouverture 11 ménagée dans une paroi arrière 12 de ladite carrosserie.Advantageously, the bracket 4 is inserted into a housing 9 of the body of said appliance 1 through an opening 11 formed in a rear wall 12 of said body.

La partie 4a de l'équerre 4 s'insère à l'intérieur d'une ouverture 11 de la paroi arrière 12 de l'appareil électroménager 1.The part 4a of the bracket 4 is inserted inside an opening 11 of the rear wall 12 of the appliance 1.

La partie 4a de l'équerre 4 est chanfreinée dans les angles de sorte à faciliter l'insertion de ladite partie 4a dans l'ouverture 11 de la paroi arrière 12 de l'appareil électroménager 1.The part 4a of the bracket 4 is chamfered in the corners so as to facilitate the insertion of said part 4a into the opening 11 of the rear wall 12 of the appliance 1.

La partie 4a de l'équerre 4 insérée dans l'ouverture 11 de la paroi arrière 12 de l'appareil électroménager 1 pousse le moyen d'obstruction 8 de sorte à libérer le passage de la broche de verrouillage 7. Ensuite, la broche de verrouillage 7 est libérée pour passer au travers d'au moins un second trou de fixation 6 de l'équerre 4. Le second trou de fixation 6 traversé par la broche de verrouillage 7 est un des seconds trous de fixation 6 ménagé dans la partie 4a de l'équerre 4 et étant placé en vis-à-vis de ladite broche de verrouillage 7 en fonction de la géométrie du mur 3.Part 4a of the bracket 4 inserted in the opening 11 of the rear wall 12 of the appliance 1 pushes the blocking means 8 so as to release the passage of the locking pin 7. Then, the locking pin 7 is released to pass through at least a second fixing hole 6 of the 4. The second fixing hole 6 traversed by the locking pin 7 is one of the second fixing holes 6 formed in the part 4a of the bracket 4 and being placed opposite said locking pin 7 depending on the geometry of the wall 3.

Le passage de la broche de verrouillage 7 dans un second trou de fixation 6 de l'équerre 4 permet de solidariser l'appareil électroménager 1 avec le mur 3.The passage of the locking pin 7 in a second fixing hole 6 of the bracket 4 makes it possible to secure the electrical appliance 1 to the wall 3.

La broche de verrouillage 7 est ainsi déplacée suivant un mouvement de translation selon une direction z, préférentiellement perpendiculaire au plan de travail 10 et/ou parallèle au mur 3.The locking pin 7 is thus displaced in a translational movement in a direction z, preferably perpendicular to the working plane 10 and / or parallel to the wall 3.

La broche de verrouillage 7 est insérée dans un logement 9 de la carrosserie dudit appareil électroménager 1 au travers d'un trou 14 ménagé dans une paroi supérieure 10 de ladite carrosserie.The locking pin 7 is inserted into a housing 9 of the body of said domestic appliance 1 through a hole 14 formed in an upper wall 10 of said body.

La broche de verrouillage 7 obture un trou 14 ménagé dans une paroi de la carrosserie de l'appareil électroménager, et préférentiellement dans le plan de travail 10 situé en partie supérieure de l'appareil électroménager 1.The locking pin 7 closes a hole 14 formed in a wall of the bodywork of the appliance, and preferably in the worktop 10 located in the upper part of the appliance 1.

Ainsi, les moyens de maintien 2, et en particulier la broche de verrouillage 7, permettent de solidariser l'appareil électroménager 1 avec le mur 3 de manière esthétique tout en étant visible. La partie supérieure de la broche de verrouillage 7 est visible puisque celle-ci débouche dans le plan de travail 10.Thus, the holding means 2, and in particular the locking pin 7, to secure the appliance 1 with the wall 3 aesthetically while being visible. The upper part of the locking pin 7 is visible since it opens into the work plane 10.

On va décrire à présent le fonctionnement des moyens de maintien 2 pour désolidariser l'appareil électroménager 1 du mur 3.We will now describe the operation of the holding means 2 to disengage the appliance 1 from the wall 3.

La désolidarisation de l'appareil électroménager 1 du mur 3 peut être effectuée pour réaliser une réparation dudit appareil électroménager 1 ou encore le nettoyage derrière celui-ci, etc.The separation of the appliance 1 from the wall 3 can be carried out to carry out a repair of said appliance 1 or cleaning behind it, and so on.

Afin désolidariser l'appareil électroménager 1 du mur 3, la broche de verrouillage 7 doit être retirée d'un second trou de fixation 6 de l'équerre 4.In order to separate the appliance 1 from the wall 3, the locking pin 7 must be removed from a second fixing hole 6 of the bracket 4.

A cette fin, la broche de verrouillage 7 comprend une rampe hélicoïdale 15 de sorte à libérer ledit au moins un second trou de fixation 6 lors du retrait de l'équerre 4 dudit appareil électroménager 1.To this end, the locking pin 7 comprises a helical ramp 15 so as to release said at least one second fixing hole 6 during removal of the bracket 4 of said appliance 1.

La broche de verrouillage 7 comprend une fente 16 adaptée à entraîner en rotation la rampe hélicoïdale 15 de ladite broche de verrouillage 7 lors du retrait de l'équerre 4 dudit appareil électroménager 1.The locking pin 7 comprises a slot 16 adapted to rotate the helical ramp 15 of said locking pin 7 during removal of the bracket 4 of said appliance 1.

La fente 16 de la broche de verrouillage 7 est adaptée à être tournée à l'aide d'un tournevis, d'une pièce de monnaie, etc.The slot 16 of the locking pin 7 is adapted to be rotated with a screwdriver, a coin, etc.

La broche de verrouillage 7 peut ainsi être entraînée en rotation et en translation, par exemple d'un quart de tour, de sorte à dégager ladite broche de verrouillage 7 du second trou de fixation 6 de l'équerre 4 par la mise en appui de la rampe hélicoïdale 15 sur une surface, par exemple le plan de travail 10.The locking pin 7 can thus be driven in rotation and in translation, for example a quarter of a turn, so as to release said locking pin 7 of the second fixing hole 6 of the bracket 4 by the support of the helical ramp 15 on a surface, for example the work surface 10 .

Préférentiellement, la surface d'appui de la rampe hélicoïdale 15 de la broche de verrouillage 7 comprend une nervure de sorte à faciliter l'entraînement en rotation puis en translation d'au moins une partie de la broche de verrouillage 7 en dehors du trou 14 ménagé dans le plan de travail 10.Preferably, the bearing surface of the helical ramp 15 of the locking pin 7 comprises a rib so as to facilitate driving in rotation and then in translation of at least a portion of the locking pin 7 outside the hole 14 arranged in the worktop 10.

Dès qu'une partie de la broche de verrouillage 7 est située au-dessus du plan de travail 10, ladite broche de verrouillage 7 peut être tirée de sorte à libérer le second trou de fixation 6 de l'équerre 4.As soon as part of the locking pin 7 is located above the work plane 10, said locking pin 7 can be pulled so as to release the second fixing hole 6 of the bracket 4.

Le moyen d'obstruction 8 comprend un moyen de rappel élastique de sorte à obturer ledit au moins un second trou de fixation 6 par ledit moyen d'obstruction 8 lors du retrait de l'équerre 4 dudit appareil électroménager 1.The obstruction means 8 comprises an elastic return means so as to close said at least one second fixing hole 6 by said obstruction means 8 when the bracket 4 is withdrawn from said appliance 1.

Ainsi, les moyens de maintien 2 de l'appareil électroménager 1 ne peuvent être mis en oeuvre que lorsque l'appareil électroménager 1 est en position contre le mur 3 et que l'équerre 4 est insérée dans le logement 9 dudit appareil électroménager 1.Thus, the holding means 2 of the appliance 1 can be implemented only when the appliance 1 is in position against the wall 3 and the bracket 4 is inserted into the housing 9 of said appliance 1.

La broche de verrouillage 7 ne peut pas traverser un second trou de fixation 6 de l'équerre 4 puisque le moyen d'obstruction 8 obture ledit second trou de fixation 6 suite au retrait de ladite broche de verrouillage 7 dudit second trou de fixation 6.The locking pin 7 can not pass through a second fixing hole 6 of the bracket 4 since the obstruction means 8 closes off said second fixing hole 6 following the withdrawal of said locking pin 7 from said second fixing hole 6.

La broche de verrouillage 7 est liée à l'appareil électroménager 1 par un clip de retenue 17.The locking pin 7 is connected to the appliance 1 by a retaining clip 17.

Ainsi, la broche de verrouillage 7 ne peut être perdue lors de l'entretien et/ou une manutention de l'appareil électroménager 1 nécessitant la désolidarisation dudit appareil électroménager 1 du mur 3.Thus, the locking pin 7 can not be lost during the maintenance and / or handling of the appliance 1 requiring the separation of said appliance 1 wall 3.

La broche de verrouillage 7 est maintenue au plan de travail 10 par un clip de retenue 17 placé dans le trou 14 dudit plan de travail 10.The locking pin 7 is held at the work plane 10 by a retaining clip 17 placed in the hole 14 of said work plane 10.

Grâce à l'invention, le trou 14 de la paroi supérieure 10 de l'appareil électroménager 1 ne peut être bouché par la broche de verrouillage 7 tant que l'équerre 4 n'est pas fixée au mur 3 et que ladite équerre 4 des moyens de maintien 2 est correctement insérée dans le logement 9 ménagé dans la paroi arrière 12 dudit appareil électroménager 1.Thanks to the invention, the hole 14 of the upper wall 10 of the appliance 1 can not be plugged by the locking pin 7 as the bracket 4 is not fixed to the wall 3 and said bracket 4 of the holding means 2 is correctly inserted in the housing 9 formed in the rear wall 12 of said appliance 1.

Le clip de retenue 17 peut être réalisé dans le plan de travail 10 lorsque ce dernier est réalisé dans une matière élastique.The retaining clip 17 can be made in the worktop 10 when the latter is made of an elastic material.

Dans un mode de réalisation amélioré de l'invention, les moyens de maintien 2 sont associés à un moyen de coupure d'une alimentation en énergie électrique dudit appareil électroménager 1 de sorte à autoriser le fonctionnement dudit appareil électroménager 1 uniquement si ledit appareil électroménager 1 est maintenu contre un mur 3 par les moyens de maintien 2.In an improved embodiment of the invention, the holding means 2 are associated with a means for cutting off an electrical power supply of said domestic appliance 1 so as to allow the operation of said appliance 1 only if said appliance 1 is kept against a wall 3 by the holding means 2.

Ainsi, grâce au moyen de coupure d'une alimentation en énergie électrique associé aux moyens de maintien 2, le fonctionnement de l'appareil électroménager 1 est interdit tant que les moyens de maintien 2 n'assurent pas la solidarisation entre ledit appareil électroménager 1 et le mur 3.Thus, by means of switching off a supply of electrical energy associated with the holding means 2, the operation of the appliance 1 is prohibited as long as the holding means 2 do not provide the connection between said appliance 1 and the wall 3.

Ce moyen de coupure permet d'autoriser le fonctionnement de l'appareil électroménager 1 uniquement si les moyens de maintien 2 sont fixés d'une part au mur 3 et d'autre part à l'appareil électroménager 1.This breaking means allows the operation of the appliance 1 only if the holding means 2 are fixed on the one hand to the wall 3 and on the other hand to the appliance 1.

Cet assemblage des moyens de maintien 2 et du moyen de coupure ensemble permet de s'assurer que le fonctionnement de l'appareil électroménager 1 ne peut être autorisé que lorsque ledit appareil électroménager 1 est correctement plaqué contre le mur 3 par les moyens de maintien 2.This assembly of the holding means 2 and the cut-off means together ensures that the operation of the appliance 1 can be authorized only when said appliance 1 is correctly pressed against the wall 3 by the holding means 2 .

Seul un acte volontaire de l'utilisateur peut engendrer que l'appareil électroménager 1 soit uniquement relié aux moyens de maintien 2 sans que ces moyens de maintien 2 soient fixés sur le mur 3, tandis que les moyens de maintien 2 et le moyen de coupure sont assemblés ensemble.Only a voluntary act of the user can cause the appliance 1 is only connected to the holding means 2 without these holding means 2 are fixed on the wall 3, while the holding means 2 and the breaking means are assembled together.

L'utilisation des moyens de maintien 2 pour la solidarisation de l'appareil électroménager 1 contre le mur 3 est indispensable pour mettre en fonctionnement ledit appareil électroménager 1.The use of the holding means 2 for securing the appliance 1 against the wall 3 is essential to put into operation said appliance 1.

Préférentiellement, le moyen de coupure est un contacteur situé au niveau et/ou intégré dans le moyen d'obstruction 8, ledit contacteur étant monté en série sur un circuit d'alimentation en énergie électrique dudit appareil électroménager 1.Preferably, the breaking means is a contactor located at and / or integrated in the obstruction means 8, said contactor being connected in series with a power supply circuit of said electrical appliance 1.

Grâce au positionnement d'un contacteur situé au niveau et/ou intégré dans le moyen d'obstruction 8, le fonctionnement de l'appareil électroménager 1 peut être autorisé ou non si l'équerre 4 est insérée correctement dans le logement 9 de l'appareil électroménager 1. Ce contacteur permet de fermer ou d'ouvrir un circuit d'alimentation en énergie électrique de l'appareil électroménager 1 au moindre coût tout en garantissant la sécurité de l'utilisateur.Thanks to the positioning of a contactor located at the level and / or integrated in the obstruction means 8, the operation of the appliance 1 may be authorized or not if the bracket 4 is inserted correctly into the housing 9 of the appliance 1. This contactor makes it possible to close or open an electric power supply circuit of the appliance 1 at the least cost while guaranteeing the safety of the user.
