  • the usability is restricted, in particular the worktop has to provide a minimum thickness.
  • An object of the present invention is to create an improved cooking hob of the said kind.
  • the cooking hob is provided with at least one protection element (or: securing element), which protects (or: secures) the housing against descending (or: falling down), when the fixation of the housing to the cooking hob plate and/or the cooking hob frame is at least partially loosened (or: detached or: released or: disengaged) intentionally or unintentionally, wherein the housing is provided with at least one recess and the protection element engages into this at least one recess or, in addition or alternatively the protection element is provided with at least one recess and the housing engages into this at least one recess, wherein the position and dimensions of the at least one recess are designed and correspond with the position and dimensions of the engaging element (or: engaging part) in such a manner, that the protection element is not loaded by a force or put under mechanical tension when the fixation of the cooking hob plate and housing and/or cooking hob frame is not loosened and that when the fixation between cooking hob plate and housing and/or cooking hob frame is loos
  • the protection element comprises a gap for accommodation (or: accommodating or: receiving) of the housing wall and the gap is directed upwards or the housing comprises a gap for accommodation of the protection element and the gap is directed downwards.
  • gaps can easily be manufactured by various methods.
  • a stopping surface is provided within the gap, wherein the housing wall stops or rests against the stopping surface or the stopping surface stops or rests against the protection element respectively, when the fixation of the housing to the cooking hob plate and/or the cooking hob frame is loosened and the housing wall or the protection element is spaced apart from the stopping surface at a distance when the fixation is not loosened.
  • a stopping surface is provided as a defined stopping point, i.e. the magnitude of displacement of the housing relative to the cooking hob plate in a failure case can be determined by the vertical position of the stopping surface.
  • the protection element comprises a fastening portion, that is provided with a hook-shaped element and the gap is formed between the fastening portion and the hook-shaped element and/or that the housing comprises a hook-shaped element and the gap is formed between the hook-shaped element an the housing wall.
  • form-closure or: shape-locking or: positive locking
  • the hook-shaped element provides a structure on its one end, that at least partially projects into the gap, so that the width of the gap is smaller in that place than the material thickness of the housing wall and that the housing wall receives a clamping effect between the hook-shaped element and the fastening portion.
  • This structure is a further advantageous fixation for the housing and also prevents lateral displacement of the housing.
  • the protection element is provided with at least one bearing portion and bears with its bearing portion on the worktop.
  • the protection element is support by the worktop in a stable way, while easy installation is enabled.
  • the protection element is provided with at least one connective portion, which is connecting the bearing portion with the fastening portion, in particular that the connective portion has such a shape, that the connection of bearing portion and fastening portion is provided resiliently.
  • the protection element is adapted advantageously to most loading cases that can emerge.
  • the housing or the protection element is provided with recesses in at least two different heights (or: vertical positions or: vertical levels). These can be used according to the respective installation situation. No further additional measures (or: versions of components) are needed for realizing different designs or installation heights.
  • the housing is fixed to the cooking hob plate and/or the cooking hob frame by a glue or an adhesive connection and/or by adhered (or: glued) connection elements. In such a manner a simple and permanent fixation is established.
  • position and dimensions of the at least one recess are designed and correspond with the dimensions of the engaging element, so that electrical components and/or heating elements that are arranged within the housing are still in contact with the lower side of the cooking hob plate, even when the fixation of the cooking hob plate and/or cooking hob frame is at least partially loosened.
  • the cooking hob is ready to operate and can be used even when the fixation between cooking hob plate and housing frame is detached. Furthermore it is ensured that the heat generated by the heating elements is transfered mainly to the cooking hob plate and not to environment beyond the housing.
  • the housing is provided with at least one slot (31) and the structure (25) engages into this at least one slot (31).
  • a cooking hob 1 is shown, that is arranged within a cutout 2 of a worktop 3.
  • the cooking hob 1 comprises a cooking hob plate 4 and a housing 5, that are attached or fixed to each other by adhered or glued connection elements 6 non-detachably.
  • Cooking hob plate 4 and housing 5 comprise such dimensions, that they can be inserted into the cutout 2 of the worktop 3.
  • the gap or opening formed thereby is covered by a cooking hob frame 27, whereas the cooking hob plate 4 is supported by the cooking hob frame 27 onto the worktop 3.
  • electrical components and/or heating elements 8 are arranged within the housing 5, that can furthermore be pressed against the lower side 9 of the cooking hob plate 4 by the housing 5 or components arranged therein.
  • a protection element 10 having a fastening portion 18, a connective portion 20 and a bearing portion 22 is provided.
  • the protection element 10 can be manufactured in particular from sheet metal or sheet steel by punching and bending operations or made of a plastics material by injection moulding.
  • the fastening portion 18 provides a hook-shaped element 13, which is bent out in a first bending direction and again bent reversely, so that the hook-shaped element 13 then continues substantially parallel to the fastening portion 18 forming a gap 14, which provides such a width, that a housing wall 16 can be accommodated therein.
  • the hook-shaped element 13 is connected to the fastening portion 18, whereby the connection forms a stopping surface 15.
  • the protection element 10 engages into a recess 23 of the housing within the housing wall 16.
  • Position and dimensions of the recess 23 are defined so that the upper edge 30 of the recess 23 does not bear on the stopping surface 15, when the glued or adhesive connection 7 between cooking hob plate 4 and housing 5 is in regular conditions and therefore the housing 5 is not supported by the protection element 10, thus the protection element 10 is not loaded by a force or is free of mechanical tension.
  • the distance A between the stopping surface 15 and the upper edge 30 of the recess 23 is therefore typically larger than 0.1 mm, preferably between 0.3 mm and 1.3 mm.
  • a structure 25 is arranged at the end of the hook-shaped element 13 aslant to the hook-shaped element 13 and projects at least partly into the gap 14, so that in this region the width of the gap 14 is smaller than the material thickness of the housing wall 16.
  • a slot 31 is arranged within the housing wall 16 in a position vertically displaced from the recess 23, so that the structure 25 engages at least partially into the slot 31.
  • the geometrical shape of the protection element 10 is determined by the three bendings 17, 19, 21.
  • the protection element 10 is bent off at its first bending 17 in an angle smaller than 90°, and continues aslant away from the housing wall 16 in a connective portion 20.
  • the protection element 10 is bent reversely in a second bending direction substantially opposite to the fist bending direction, so that the connective portion 20 continues further substantially parallel to the fastening portion 18.
  • the connective portion 20 has a slightly resilient property for the protection element 10.
  • the protection element 10 is bent off, so that the protection element 10 continues in a bearing portion 22 substantially rectangular to the fastening portion 18.
  • the protection element 10 bears on a boundary section 24 on the top surface of the worktop 3 by its bearing portion 22 that continues rectangular to the fastening portion 18. It is also possible that the bearing portion 22 bears on elements or recesses that are provided on the top surface of the worktop 3 or upon the side wall of the worktop 3 surrounding the cutout 2.
  • FIG 1 shows a regular and intact adhesive connection 7 between housing 5 and cooking hob plate 4
  • FIG 2 shows a cooking hob 1 wherein the adhesive connection 7 is detached or loosened on one side of the connection element 6.
  • the housing 5 has descended downwards and is no more fixed to the cooking hob plate 4.
  • the protection element 10 restricts now the movement of the housing 5 in vertical direction and keeps it from further falling downwards.
  • the upper edge 30 of the recess 23 of the housing now bears on the stopping surface 15 of the protection element 10.
  • the distance A now is 0 mm, the housing 5 is supported by the protection element 10 and further descending is prevented.
  • a protection element 10 is shown in perspective view.
  • the protection element 10 has the already described bendings 17, 19, 21 and the portions 18, 20, 22.
  • Within one wall of the housing 5 a recess 23 of the housing is provided, which accommodates a hook-shaped element 13 of the protection element 10.
  • the shape of the protection element 10 is adapted to the design of the cooking hob 1 with a cooking hob plate 4, a housing 5 and a cooking hob frame 27 and corresponds to what was already described with regard to FIG 1 and 2 .
  • a cooking hob 1 is shown, providing a cooking hob plate 4 and a housing 5, whereas, different to what is shown in FIG 1 to FIG 3 , the cooking hob plate 4 exceeds at least partly the dimensions of the cutout 2 of the worktop 3.
  • the cooking hob plate 4 projects beyond the boundary section 24 of the worktop 3 and bears with a boundary section 24 at least partly on the worktop 3.
  • a gasket 26 is provided in the boundary section 28 of the cooking hob plate 4 that projects above the boundary section 24 of the worktop 3, whereas the cooking hob plate 4 bears on the worktop 3 by means of the gasket 26.
  • the gasket 26 also forms a joint 29 between cooking hob plate 4 and worktop 3.
  • the gasket 26 can be made of silicone or an adhesive, whereas the cooking hob plate 4 can be glued to the worktop 3 by its gasket 26.
