Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device, in particular a household appliance, comprising a housing and a diaphragm, which is arranged connectable to the housing.
  • Appliances - in particular household appliances such as refrigerators, washing machines or dishwashers - have become an integral part of every household. Meanwhile, consumers of these devices expect not only the mere fulfillment of their functional properties, but also an attractive, visual appearance of the respective device.
  • a door body with a glass panel is proposed. As shown in FIG. 1, the door body has a door frame 4 and a glass panel 5. On the sides of the door frame 4, a guide rail is formed, in which the glass panel 5 is inserted for positioning. By means of a metal plate, the glass panel 5 is fixed to the door frame 4.
  • This listed design of the door body has at least the disadvantages listed below:
  • a large mechanical load can occur when the panel is inserted into the guide rail or when it is fastened by the metal panel. This can cause the glass panel 5 scratched on the outside, or even breaks in the worst case.
  • the glass panel 5 by no means cover the entire front of the corresponding door body, since on both sides of the door frame 4 each have a guide rail and a metal plate are provided. Thus, on both sides, unsightly elongated metal edges remain which affect the optics.
  • An additional optical disadvantage is that the frame or the metal plate can not be arranged flush with the respective panel.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a device, in particular a household appliance, which at least partially eliminates the disadvantages of the devices known from the prior art.
  • the present invention relates to a device, in particular a household appliance, comprising a housing and a diaphragm, which is arranged connectable to the housing, characterized in that an adhesive for connection of the housing is provided with the diaphragm.
  • connection technology therefore also leads to a material or resource-friendly production of the input mentioned devices.
  • connection technology according to the invention a more attractive design of the respective device can be realized by the connection technology according to the invention. This is due to the omission of the Guide rails and the metal plates achieved, so that a frameless impression is created, which makes the device visually attractive to the consumer.
  • the input device may be any type of device.
  • these are household appliances, such as refrigerators, so coolers or freezers, washing machines or dishwashers.
  • the housing of such a device may be made of one piece, or consist of several parts. Basically, the housing can have any shape, since corresponding panels can now be produced in any form. Thus, the housing can have both straight and curved or curved outer surfaces.
  • the housing may be, for example, with regard to a refrigerator or freezer, a cabinet body with therein receiving space.
  • the housing comprises a device door on which the respective panels can be fastened. It is thus conceivable to provide only each of the appliance door with screens, while the remaining surfaces of the housing are not blinded.
  • the corresponding panel ideally has a shape similar to the outer surfaces of the box. For example, should the outer surface of the housing have a curvature, then a likewise curved, corresponding to the outer surface of the housing, aperture is provided.
  • the panel can be made of any material or be made.
  • the corresponding aperture is made of glass.
  • a diaphragm made of inorganic toughened glass is used, which can be produced according to the respective requirements of the consumer in various colors.
  • an adhesive is provided for the connection of the diaphragm with the housing.
  • the adhesive comprises a chemical compound.
  • any chemical compound which has adhesive properties is suitable.
  • Chemical compounds with appropriate adhesive properties are preferably in at least partially liquid state, and therefore can be easily and inexpensively dosed and processed in the context of manufacturing.
  • the housing is positioned in the connection with the panel so that the sides to be veneered point horizontally upwards.
  • the corresponding chemical compound can be applied or sprayed onto the surface of the housing.
  • the aperture is placed on the surface treated with the chemical compound.
  • an adhesive is provided as an adhesive.
  • a liquid adhesive can be used.
  • Liquid adhesive has the advantage that it can also be easily dosed within the production and thus can be applied to the housing part to be veneered.
  • any other type of adhesive may be provided. Equally conceivable would be a combination of liquid and at least partially solid adhesives.
  • the adhesive is designed as an adhesive tape, and in particular as a double-sided adhesive tape.
  • the use of adhesive tape has the advantage that it is easy to work with.
  • adhesive tape can be selectively attached to specific locations of the housing, for example, at the edge, so that a material-saving processing is guaranteed.
  • double-sided tape By using double-sided tape, it is possible to dispense with additional, additional adhesives and thus further processing steps.
  • the chemical compound is a foam-like compound.
  • any foam-like compound is suitable, which has corresponding, adhesive properties.
  • Foam-like compounds with the appropriate adhesive properties can also be easily and inexpensively dosed and processed in the context of manufacturing.
  • the foam-like compound has an adhesive component. This ensures that it is possible to dispense with further adhesives when using a foam according to the invention.
  • the chemical compound is a foam-like compound, it should preferably also have heat-insulating properties.
  • the foamed with these properties foam thus serves both for the connection of the panel with the housing, as well as for the thermal insulation of the respective device.
  • Advantage of the use of a foam-like compound with the aforementioned properties is the reduction of manufacturing steps and thus a more cost-effective production.
  • the panel has elevations in the area between the panel and housing. These bumps increase the surface area of the baffle and thus improve the foam-to-baffle bonding properties by contacting the foam with the larger surface area.
  • the adhesive is a hook-and-loop fastener.
  • a Velcro is in its typical form of two nylon strips, one of which Widerophchen, which has other loops. When compressed, they provide a durable quick release. In this case, for example, the nylon strip with the loops attached to the housing, and the other strip with the hooks on the panel. After appropriate positioning of the aperture and the housing to be veneered, the aperture is only slightly compressed with the housing, so that the loops connect with the check marks. Since the Velcro is an almost arbitrarily often to be solved closure means, the panel can advantageously be easily replaced or replaced.
  • the adhesive is formed as a magnetic means.
  • the magnetic means may be adhesively attached to a diaphragm made of a non-magnetizable material.
  • any other suitable attachment of the magnetic means may be used.
  • the thus attached to the diaphragm magnetic means is then combined with a housing or housing part, which often consists of metal, and thus is easily magnetizable, and connected thereto.
  • a frame is provided between the housing and the bezel.
  • one side of the frame is connected to the device, while on the other, ie the second side of the frame by means of the adhesive, the diaphragm is attached.
  • the use of a frame has the advantage that, for example, aperture and housing need not have similar surfaces or similar shape.
  • a straight aperture can be attached to a device with a curved or curved outer surface.
  • the frame as an intermediate element for connecting the housing to the diaphragm, thus serves as a compensating means for connecting a diaphragm to a housing outside with a different surface or shape.
  • the function of the frame may be to add strength or stability to the housing.
  • a foam for thermal insulation can be introduced into the cavity, which is formed by the frame, aperture and housing.
  • the frame is preferably made of metallic material, such as stainless steel. However, any other material may be provided which has the desired characteristics or requirements.
  • an intermediate layer is provided between the diaphragm and the housing. This intermediate layer is preferably used in a glass panel, but it can also be used with any other type of panel, in particular in the case of at least partially transparent materials such as "frosted glass.”
  • the use of the above-described intermediate layer has the advantage that, in particular for decorative purposes, there is no color Instead, a variety of optical effects can be realized purely through the use of different colored intermediate layers, for example, it is conceivable that a used device by means of a diaphragm, and in particular with a diaphragm and the intermediate layer described above optically more attractive to the consumer do.
  • the film can be made of any material that seems suitable for the purpose.
  • these intermediate layers are made of plastic, which can be easily processed during manufacture.
  • a device panel made of at least partially translucent material can be so easily different decorations realize.
  • the use of differently colored intermediate layers or foils has the advantage that for the e.g. colored veneering of a device only corresponding, differently colored films are to stockpile, while the at least partially translucent panel of only one type, regardless of the color or pattern, can be used.
  • the aforementioned intermediate layer is designed as an adhesive for connecting the panel to the housing or the appliance door.
  • the intermediate layer can be designed, for example, as an adhesive film. This has the advantage that can be dispensed with additional or additional adhesive for connecting the panel with the housing. Especially with regard to a possible retrofitting of an already existing device, various designs could be implemented as quickly and cost-effectively.
  • a device according to the present invention has the advantage that the assembly is simplified, and thus the manufacturing process is easier, and that the housing or the housing parts act visually appealing.
  • the invention will be explained in more detail by means of preferred embodiments with reference to the drawing.
