Description

The present invention relates to a dishwasher, in particular a domestic dishwasher, with a fastening device for installation of their washing in an installation niche, wherein the fastening device is provided on at least one of at least one Nischenwandung the installation niche facing side of the washing.

In practice, it may be difficult to properly fix a dishwasher, in particular a domestic dishwasher, in an installation niche, for example in a niche of kitchen furniture, by means of one or more fastening screws. For example, the interior heights of installation niches may vary, so that different gap distances, in particular gap heights, result between the washing container of the dishwasher and the top wall of different installation niches. Depending on how deep the respective fastening screw is screwed through a hole in the front edge region of the washing container into its respective associated inner wall of the proposed installation niche, the dishwasher can then be accommodated with too large or too low holding forces in the installation niche. For example, when the holding force is too low, the dishwasher can partially or completely tip it out of the installation niche when the door is opened and a crockery basket loaded with items is moved on the inside of the door when it assumes a substantially horizontal opening end position if, during weight transfer, the fastening screws tear out of the respective inner wall of the installation niche. Conversely, if the respective fastening screw is screwed too deep into the respective inner wall of the installation niche, unacceptable force stresses and concomitant damage, such as, for example, deformations of parts of the dishwasher, in particular its washing container, can occur. In addition, the different gap heights may require different sets of differently dimensioned, in particular different length fastening screws, which makes the storage support, logistics, and assembly difficult.

The publication US 2008/0272267 A1 discloses a table top mounting system for mounting a dishwasher under a worktop without direct attachment to the worktop. The under-table mounting system comprises a pair of angled holding elements, which are each arranged displaceably in a receiving element functionally with the dishwasher in a front portion of the dishwasher. The two receiving elements are arranged on both sides of the dishwasher and the two holding elements are laterally displaceable is mounted between an inner position and an outer position in the respective receiving element. Each retaining member further includes a longitudinally extending flange outwardly disposed from the respective receiving member and which includes at least one mounting aperture to facilitate attachment of the respective retaining member to a laterally adjacent cabinet.

The publication DE 75 31 209 U1 discloses a built-in appliance, in particular a built-in refrigerator, with a device for fixing it in a housing, for example in a niche of a kitchen cabinets or the like, wherein the device at least one penetrating the wall of the built-in appliance and with a tip approximately perpendicular to the wall of Housing has screw-in screw. It is envisaged that the bolt is guided in a bush, which is equipped with means for limiting its axial driving force.

The invention has for its object to provide a dishwasher, in particular a domestic dishwasher, which is designed to be installed in an installation niche, in particular a piece of furniture, improved in a simple way secure position.

This object is achieved in a dishwasher, in particular domestic dishwasher, of the type mentioned above in that the fastening device is provided on at least one side wall of the Spülbehälters facing at least one Nischenwandung the Einbaunische and that the fastening device comprises at least two holding devices, which for receiving a fastener, in particular a fastening screw, each having a receiving part, in which a spacer element, in particular sleeve part, is relatively movable feasible.

As a result, an improved position fixation of the dishwasher is ensured in a niche. It can be installed in a safe and secure manner in installation tables different interior dimensions, especially interior heights, such as kitchen cupboards against dislocation and / or Hineinbewegungen in a simple and reliable manner, that is, they can with the help of their fastening device according to the invention in a flexible manner, that is largely independent of the respective installation situation, be mounted in different dimensioned installation niche. In this case, unacceptable force stresses on parts such as the door lock on the washing, the washing itself, especially its possible, front edge element or frame element, the door or other components of the dishwasher or even deformations one or more of these parts largely avoided. Such a built-in dishwasher can thus be easily kept in a desired installation position without the risk of deformations of one or more of their parts in the respective niche provided.

According to an expedient development of the invention, the receiving part of the respective holding device comprises a recess, in particular a through hole in which a spacer is an inner sleeve for mounting or attachment to a holding device facing niche inside by a fastener, in particular a fastening screw, movable feasible. With the aid of this spacer element, in particular the inner sleeve, an extension element can be provided for the respective holding device, by means of which any gap or possible clearance between the respective holding device and the niche inner wall of the installation niche facing it can be partially or completely bridged. It thus allows a length compensation. The respective spacer element can be fastened to the niche wall in an advantageous manner by means of a fastening element, in particular a fastening screw. In the case of an inner sleeve as a spacer element for its installation on the niche wall in the inner sleeve expediently a fastener, in particular a fastening screw introduced. By the at the assembly respectively Fixing the dishwasher in the respective installation niche longitudinally in the receiving part of the respective holding device displaceable inner sleeve, a fastener, in particular a fastening screw, in the respective inner sleeve of the respective holding device for mounting or attachment, that is, end-side fixation of the inner sleeve to the respective holding device facing inner wall the niche is introduced, even at different gap distances by means of the longitudinally pushed out of the respective holding device in its wall sleeve in the direction of the respective holding device facing niche wall are brought and yet simultaneously stored with the sleeve in the recess of the respective holding device movable. Due to the longitudinal displaceability of the respective holding device relative to the spacer element mounted in it, which in the final assembly state of the fastening device according to the invention to the respective holding device facing niche inner wall, in particular fixed, fixed or fixed, while the respective holding device largely free of impermissible stresses by tensile forces in the direction the Nicheinnenwandung facing the respective holding device are held. For in the final assembly state of the fastening device, the respective holding device relative to the attached to the niche wall by means of the fastener spacer along the longitudinal longitudinal extension of their recess and / or along the longitudinal longitudinal extent of the spacer element loose, that is "floating" stored. This allows the dishwasher even after their incorporation into the respective indentation movements in the direction of the niche wall opposite the respective holding device, but movements of the dishwasher in planes transversely, in particular perpendicular, are locked to the longitudinal longitudinal axis of displacement of the spacer element by its radial guidance in the respective holding device, that means largely suppressed.

According to an expedient development of the invention, the respective holding device for the inner sleeve thus provides, in particular, an outer sleeve as a receiving part, in which the inner sleeve can be guided loosely and laterally, in particular in the radial direction, along its longitudinal extent. By the lateral support can of the respective holding device in an advantageous manner forces, which transversely, in particular perpendicular, to the longitudinal longitudinal extent of the respective Holding device and / or attack on the inner sleeve, largely intercepted by the respective holding means, that is taken from this as a support carrier when inserted into the inner sleeve, a fastener, in particular a fastening screw, and this attached to the respective holding device facing niche inner wall, in particular the in the inner sleeve inserted fastening screw is screwed into the niche inner wall. In this way, positional displacements of the dishwasher in position levels transversely, in particular perpendicular, to the longitudinal longitudinal extent of the recess of the respective holding device largely avoided, that is, the dishwasher is transversely fixed in these levels, especially perpendicular to the relative displacement direction of the inner sleeve, while they remains largely free to move along the longitudinal longitudinal extent of the spacer element, in particular the inner sleeve.

According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the recess, in particular through hole, the respective holding device is largely aligned with a recess, in particular through hole, in the washing, in particular in the upper, front edge region arranged. As a result, the respective fastening element, in particular the respective fastening screw, can be introduced into the recess of the respective holding device in an assembly-friendly manner from the interior, in particular from the front inner edge, of the rinsing container. This facilitates the assembly of the fastening device according to the invention for securing the position of the dishwasher.

According to an expedient development of the invention, the inner sleeve is formed and longitudinally displaceably guided in the recess, in particular through hole, the respective holding device that when mounting the fastening device according to the invention when inserting the fastener into the respective holding device provided with the inner sleeve, in particular when screwing a Fixing screw in the opposite of the respective holding device inner wall of the installation niche, the inner sleeve of the recess, in particular through hole, the respective holding device with a second section is pushed out far enough that a first section of the inner sleeve remains in the respective holding device and with the pushed out, second portion of the inner sleeve, any gap space between the outside of the front edge region of the washing and this facing inner wall of the recess in the longitudinal direction of the recess, in particular through hole, the respective holding device is partially or completely bridged. As a result, a simply constructed mounting option, that is fixing possibility for the dishwasher is provided, which is easily adaptable to the gap between each present between the washing and the respective installation niche.

In particular, it may be expedient for the respective holding device to be arranged on the outside at the upper, front edge region of the washing container, in particular its front edge element or frame element. In this case, the respective recess, in particular through hole, of the washing container expediently extends parallel to the plane of the feed opening from the inside of the upper, front edge region of the washing container facing the feed opening substantially vertically upwards through the front, upper edge region up to its outside therethrough. By this attachment of the respective holding device to the upper, front edge zone region of the washing container, a fixing of the dishwasher according to the invention in the depth direction and in the transverse direction of the installation niche can be achieved. For example, when opening or mounting the door and / or pulling out a crockery-laden crockery of the dishwashing machine according to the invention and / or during its operation or during its other use, a reliable securing of the position of the dishwasher in the installation niche can be ensured. At the same time, a gap height compensation in the height direction is provided by the loosely displaceable inner sleeve in the recess of the respective holding device such that impermissible force effects on parts of the dishwasher such as their washing, door lock, and so forth in the region of the upper leading edge are largely avoided.

In particular, it may be favorable if the respective holding device is provided approximately in the middle region of the upper, front edge region of the washing container. As a result, it is possible to ensure a largely uniform application of force in the width direction and depth direction of the washing container when pulling and / or pulling Shear forces in and / or against the depth direction and / or the width direction of the installation niche become effective. In particular, a one-sided pushing or pushing the dishwasher out or into the installation niche, and / or a one-sided rotation of the dishwasher in the niche or out of this then largely avoided if two holding devices substantially axially symmetrical with respect to the center of the upper, front edge region of the washing are arranged at a predetermined transverse distance from each other.

According to a further advantageous development of the invention, the respective holding device may be part of a common connecting element, in particular a door lock housing, attached to the washing container, in particular to its upper, front edge area. As a result, the at least two holding devices can be mounted in a simple manner on the washing container by means of the common connecting element. By means of the common connecting element, it is also possible to ensure an improved distribution of force and introduction of force into the washing container in the event of any tensile, compressive and / or shearing forces occurring.

Particularly preferably, two holding devices with a predetermined transverse distance from one another laterally on the common connecting element, in particular door lock housing, mounted, in particular integrally formed, be. As a result, a particularly simply constructed position securing device is provided. With their help, the dishwasher is better able to secure against twisting in the niche with respect to a single holding device. In particular, if the two holding devices are part of the door lock housing, it is not necessary to install the two holding devices in two individual operations and the door lock housing in a third assembly step on the washing, but it is sufficient now already the assembly of the door lock housing as a single common component. In addition, the combination of door lock housing and the two holding devices attached thereto, a greater torsional rigidity due to its larger area expansion can be given as in the case of individually mounted components. In particular, the door lock can be made with the two attached holding devices advantageously made of plastic, which is simply inexpensive.

Advantageously, the common connecting element, in particular door lock housing, can be provided on the outside edge of the front edge region of the washing container, in particular on its upper, front edge or frame element, essentially centrally for locking the door of the dishwasher. As a result, the rinsing container can be secured against rotation in the installation niche against tensile and / or shear forces in its depth direction and / or width direction.

According to a further expedient development of the invention, the respective spacer element, in particular the inner sleeve, be designed such that for the fastening element a Eindringbegrenzung, in particular Einschraubbegrenzung, in the respective holding device facing inner wall of the installation niche is provided. In particular, the inner sleeve thus acts advantageously as a spacer sleeve for the introduced in it fastener, that is, it allows the fastener only a predetermined, limited Eindringweg in the niche inner wall inside. So it provides a stop for the fastener in Eindring-, in particular screwing in the case of a fixing screw on the respective holding device facing Nischeninnenwandung ready. This largely avoids that by excessive penetration of the respective fastener into the niche inner wall, the respective holding device, in particular the door lock housing, with the two laterally attached holding devices subjected to an unduly high tensile force and is thereby overstressed, which otherwise leads to deformations or bending the respective holding device, the door lock housing, and / or the rinsing container could lead. In this way, it is ensured that the closing and sealing function of the door is always perfectly maintained over the service life of the dishwasher installed in the installation table.

Such a dishwasher, in particular domestic dishwasher, can thus easily, without the risk of deformation of the dishwasher, in a niche, which is formed for example by one or more pieces of furniture such as by a tall cabinet or other kitchen cabinet, attached. In particular via sleeve parts, in particular inner sleeves, as spacers and the guide elements mounted on these spacer elements Holding devices, the dishwasher can be flexibly secured in niches of different heights in an advantageous manner, so that during their operation or when opening or closing the door of the dishwasher neither moves into the niche, nor can be moved out of the niche.

A niche in the sense of the invention may in particular be a recess in a kitchen unit, which is designed to accommodate a built-in dishwashing machine, in particular a built-in household dishwasher. In this case, the niche can be formed, for example, at least in some areas by cabinet side walls, a cabinet bottom plate, as well as ceiling plate and / or top side worktop. At a side facing the niche wall of the Spülbehälterrahmens two or more holding devices are advantageously provided. At least two holding devices are advantageous so that the dishwasher can not twist during operation or when opening or closing the door of the dishwasher. Preferably, the holding devices are arranged slightly spaced from one another. This ensures a good grip of the dishwasher in the niche or on the walls or the walls of the niche. The holding devices are fixed directly or indirectly to the Spülbehälterrahmen. Each holding device comprises a recess in which a sleeve part or other spacer element is guided. The recess or the spacer element are in particular designed such that the inner lateral surface or the inner wall of the recess can slide along the outer wall or outer lateral surface of the spacer element. That is, the holding devices may preferably be guided axially parallel or coaxially to the longitudinal axis of the spacer elements along this. Another movement of the holding devices is prevented by the configuration of the spacer elements and the recesses. The spacer element can slide in particular in the recess and axially parallel or coaxially to the longitudinal axis of the recess in this along. The recess in the respective holding device expediently allows the passage of the spacer element, in particular sleeve part. That is, the spacer may preferably be inserted on one side of the recess in this and out on the other side of this. The recess may have various cross sections, wherein the cross section is preferably constant over the entire length of the recess. So can the recess has a polygonal, in particular rectangular or square, cross-section, but also other cross-sections, such as oval cross-sections. Particularly preferably, the recess is formed as a bore. A bore has in particular a circular cross-section over the entire length of the bore. The spacer element is expediently designed according to the cross section of the recess. If the cross section of the recess is rectangular, for example, the spacer element has, in particular, a correspondingly rectangular cross section. If the recess is designed, for example, as a circular bore, the spacer element has, in particular, a circular cross-section. Such a spacer element is referred to in particular as a spacer sleeve or spacer roller. The spacer element, in particular the spacer sleeve, is movably guided in the recess, in particular the bore, of the respective holding device. Each recess of a respective holding device is preferably designed for the passage of a fastening element, in particular a fastening screw. The guided in the recess spacer is suitably designed for passage of the shaft of the fastening screw. That is, the head of the fastening screw can be passed through the recess, but not through the spacer. As a result, the spacer element acts in the fastened state on the niche wall in an advantageous manner as Einschraubbegrenzung. That is, the spacer element limits the screwing of the fastening screw in the niche wall, for example in the top wall of the installation niche or a kitchen worktop. However, the fastening screw can be screwed so deep into the niche wall that it sits absolutely firm and immobile in this. After screwing the fastening screw into the niche wall, the spacer element, in particular the spacer sleeve, acts like a pin or bolt projecting out of the niche wall. The respective holding device and thus the dishwasher are only vertically along the fixed spacer elements, that is axially parallel or coaxial with the longitudinal axis of the spacer element, feasible. The lengths of the holding devices and the lengths of the spacer elements are particularly coordinated so that in the screwed state of the fastening screw, that is, after the fixation of the spacer elements on the niche wall, a part of each spacer element is guided in the holding devices. This ensures that the dishwasher is not pushed further into the niche, nor pulled out of the niche can. The special design of the dishwasher, that is, the special design of the holding devices and the special design of the guided in the holding devices spacer elements, in particular prevents a horizontal displacement of the dishwasher. The dishwasher can be moved by the sliding or floating support of the holding devices to spacer elements in particular at most vertically in the niche. Due to the weight of the dishwasher this is always returned to its original position. In particular, when opening the door of the dishwasher and possibly moving out of a loaded crockery basket on the door this can be easily raised at best.

Due to the determinable size, in particular length of the holding device or the recess and in particular the flexibly determinable length of the spacer elements, the dishwasher can be installed in any niche. If the gap between the dishwasher and the niche wall is large, according to an advantageous development of the invention, in particular a correspondingly long spacer element can be used. With a relatively small gap, it is expedient to use a correspondingly relatively short spacer element. By using different length spacers, the dishwasher can be easily mounted in different levels niches. In many cases, however, a telescope-like displaceability of the spacer sleeve and the respective holding device relative to one another means that, under many practical circumstances, a single type of spacer element of predetermined length is sufficient to overcome a multiplicity of gap spacings.

A built-in dishwashing machine, in particular built-in household dishwasher, with a fastening device designed according to the invention is particularly flexible and easy in niches of different sizes, especially in niches of kitchen units, fastened. By fixing device according to the invention, the fixation of the dishwasher in practice in the installation niche allows such that the dishwasher, for example, when opening and closing the door due to a concomitant weight, especially center of gravity displacement, as well as the operation of the dishwasher, for example, by vibrations Circulation pump, not pushed into the niche or out of the niche can be pulled out. In the case of a built-in dishwasher provided with such a fastening device, it is possible to reliably avoid, in particular, that it can be moved in its respective, in particular horizontal, installation plane.

According to a particularly expedient development of the invention, it can be provided in the dishwasher that the at least two holding devices are part of a connecting element arranged on the washing container frame. That is, it is not necessary that the holding means, each by itself, are arranged directly on the Spülbehälterrahmen, but the holding means may be part of a connecting element, which is arranged on the Spülbehälterrahmen. The advantage here is that it is not necessary to attach each holding device separately, but that by the attachment of the connecting element to the Spülbehälterrahmen the holding devices are also fixedly arranged on the Spülbehälterrahmen. As a result, mounting costs, mounting material and mounting costs can be saved. The holding devices can preferably be an integral part of the connecting element in this variant of the dishwasher. In this case, the at least two holding devices are preferably provided at a distance from each other in the connecting element.

According to a further particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention may be provided in the dishwasher that the spacer elements each have an internal thread for receiving the thread of a fastening screw. This ensures a particularly secure hold of the spacer elements on the mounting screws. The fastening screws are in particular screwed through the spacer elements before the tips of the fastening screws are screwed into the wall of the niche, for example in the kitchen worktop. The diameter of the internal thread of a spacer element and the thread of a fastening screw are suitably matched to one another, so that the spacer element is firmly seated on the fastening screw after the fastening screws have been screwed in. This ensures that the spacer element after the screwing of the tip of the fastening screw in the wall of the niche in an advantageous manner immovably rests against the wall. This in turn ensures that the holding devices be securely held and guided along the outside of the spacer elements, in particular can be guided only vertically when the holding means are provided at the top of the washing. A movement other than that along the spacers is not possible.

The at least two holding devices can expediently be designed and arranged on the rinsing container frame such that the recesses are arranged freely accessible. Thus, the recesses may be provided on the holding means such that they are not covered by the Spülbehälterrahmen. Thus, the spacers and the fastening screws can be introduced past the Spülbehälterrahmen in the recesses of the holding devices. Alternatively it can be provided in an expedient another development of the dishwasher that each recess, in particular each hole, the holding means is arranged in alignment with a recess, in particular a bore in the front Spülbehälterrandbereich, in particular Spülbehälterrahmen. The spacer elements and the fastening screws are introduced in such a dishwasher through the recesses, in particular the holes, the Spülbehälterrahmens in the recesses, in particular the holes, the holding devices. An advantage of such a design of the dishwasher is that no elements of the holding devices protrude laterally on the Spülbehälterrahmen. Another advantage is the compact design of such a dishwasher. The recesses in the Spülbehälterrahmen preferably correspond to those of the holding devices.

The at least two holding devices may optionally be arranged according to an alternative embodiment variant on different sides of the Spülbehälterrahmens. For example, it is conceivable for a first holding device to be arranged on one side element of the washing container frame and a second holding device for another side element, for example the opposite side element, of the washing container frame. The holding devices are arranged in this case, in particular in the vicinity of the handle or at the level of the handle of the door of the dishwasher to the Spülbehälterrahmen, since there act when opening and closing the door usually the largest forces.

According to a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention may be preferably provided in the dishwasher that the holding means on the outside of the upper Spülbehälterrand, which extends in the width direction of the washing and is part of the top wall of the washing compartment, are arranged. As a result, the holding devices for a fitter are easily accessible, so that the spacer elements and the fastening screws can be easily inserted into the corresponding recesses of the respective holding devices and optionally those of the washing, in particular its front edge element or frame member, from the feed opening of the washing. The dishwasher can first be inserted into the niche and then locked by a fitter on the top wall of the niche. The holding devices are expediently easily accessible from the front, that is through the feed opening, with the door open. The arrangement of the holding devices on the upper side of the washing container, in particular its front edge element or frame element, the safe position of the dishwasher during their operation and / or the opening and closing of the door can be guaranteed. The upper side of the washing container, in particular its front edge, faces the underside of the upper niche wall.

According to a further expedient development of the invention can be provided in the dishwasher that between the holding devices, in particular a door lock, is arranged to lock the door of the dishwasher to the Spülbehälterrahmens. Since in the vicinity of the door lock, which serves to lock the door of the dishwasher, usually the greatest forces act on the dishwasher, it is advantageous if it is surrounded by the holding devices. The associated attachment of the dishwasher in the immediate vicinity of the door lock of the dishwasher ensures that the horizontal position of the dishwasher remains unchanged during the opening and closing of the door. At most, the dishwasher can be moved somewhat in the vertical direction, that is to say axially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the fixed spacer elements, when the door lock is mounted, in particular, on the upper side, in particular in the front center region of the washing compartment.

Particularly preferably, according to an expedient development of the invention, it can be provided in the dishwasher that the connecting element is a housing of a door lock for locking the door of the dishwasher. By such an advantageous embodiment of the built-in dishwasher particular material costs and installation costs can be saved. The housing of the door lock takes over the recording of the door lock and the leadership of the spacer elements and thus the attachment of the dishwasher to the niche wall. The housing of the door lock of the dishwasher is preferably arranged on the front edge, in particular on or in the Spülbehälterrahmen, the washing compartment. Particularly preferably, the door lock and thus the housing of the door lock is provided on the upper side of the washing container, in particular its front edge or Spülbehälterrahmens because the door is usually held pivotally in the lower portion of the loading opening of the washing container on the dishwasher. The holding devices are in this embodiment of the dishwasher in particular an integral part of the housing of the door lock. This ensures that the door lock, after the attachment of the holding devices to the spacer elements fixed to the niche wall of the niche, is kept particularly secure and can not be moved into the niche or out of the niche. The longitudinal axes of the recesses of the holding devices in the door lock housing preferably extend perpendicular to the upper side of the Spülbehälterrahmens. The at least two holding devices are preferably arranged on opposite sides of the door lock. As a result, the forces acting on the door lock when opening and closing the door of the dishwasher can be absorbed evenly by the holding devices or the spacer elements or the fastening screws.

According to a further expedient development of the invention, it can be provided in the dishwasher that the at least two holding devices or the connecting element are non-positively and / or cohesively arranged on the rinsing container frame. If the at least two holding devices are arranged directly on the rinsing container frame, each holding device is expediently attached to the rinsing container frame in a non-positive and / or materially bonded manner. Alternatively, if the holding devices are arranged on the connecting element, for example the housing of the door lock of the dishwasher, this is preferably the case Connecting element, in particular the door lock housing, non-positively and / or materially attached to the Spülbehälterrahmen. Force-fitting fasteners of the holding devices or of the connecting element have the advantage that they are more easily releasable again and, where appropriate, can be easily replaced by other, for example, larger, holding devices or connecting elements. Non-positive fasteners can be, for example, screw connections, snap-in or clamp connections. As cohesive fasteners are in particular welded or adhesive joints into consideration.

Furthermore, it can be provided in another expedient development of the dishwasher that the at least two holding devices or the connecting element are an integral part of the Spülbehälterrahmens. That is, the holding means or the connecting element with the holding means are preferably formed monolithically with the Spülbehälterrahmen. This is particularly advantageous if the Spülbehälterrahmen and thus also the holding means or the connecting element comprise a plastic material. For example, the Spülbehälterrahmen including the holding means or the connecting element by a casting method, in particular an injection molding process, be made monolithic. As a result, in addition to the production costs a significant mounting effort can be saved.

Furthermore, it can be expedient in a further development of the dishwasher if the holding devices and the spacer elements are formed from different materials. It can be particularly advantageous if the holding devices are made of a plastic material and the spacer elements are made of metal, or vice versa. This ensures that the holding devices can slide well along the spacer elements. Of course, however, both the holding devices and the spacer elements may also be made of the same material as, for example, suitable plastics, which further simplifies their production.

In particular, the length of the respective spacer element, preferably the respective inner sleeve, is greater than the maximum gap gap occurring in practice between the washing container of the dishwasher and the respective inner wall of the respective one Installation niche chosen. As a result, a secure engagement of spacer element and holding device is ensured.

Other advantageous embodiments and further developments of the invention are given in the dependent claims.

Other embodiments and further developments of the invention are given in the dependent claims. The above-explained and / or reproduced in the subclaims advantageous embodiments and refinements of the invention can be used individually or else in any combination with each other in the dishwasher according to the invention and / or fastening device for use.

The two holding devices HE1, HE2 are mounted here in the exemplary embodiment on the housing 10 of a door lock 9 for locking the door 30 in the Schließendstellung. They are in particular part of the door lock housing 10. This door lock housing 10 is attached to the upper side of the upper, front edge region 60 of the washing container 20 approximately in the middle region of its width extension (in the x direction). The holding devices HE1, HE2 are provided on opposite sides of the door lock 9 in the door lock housing 10. In this exemplary embodiment, the door lock housing 10 is a connecting element 15 extending in the width direction x, on which the holding devices HE1, HE2 are each arranged in one piece, in particular monolithically. That is, the holding devices are an integral part of the housing 10 of the door lock 9. In this embodiment of the built-in household dishwasher 1, the respective holding device HE1, HE2 receiving parts 41, 42, which are formed as outer sleeves for the spacer elements 61, 62. Both holding devices are approximately equidistant from the door lock 9 arranged thereon. Each receiving part 41, 42 of the holding devices has a recess 51, 52, here in the form of a bore, as a guide for an inner sleeve 61, 62. In each bore 51, 52 so an inner sleeve 61, 62 as a spacer element, that is arranged as a spacer sleeve, movably guided. Here in the exemplary embodiment, two recesses 241, 242, in particular openings or through openings, are provided in the front, upper edge region, which are provided substantially at the same location as the recesses 51, 52 of the receiving parts 41, 42 of the holding means HE1, HE2. In particular, they are substantially congruent or congruent to the spatial position of the recesses 51, 52 of the receiving parts 41, 42. The inner diameter of the respective recess 241, 242 expediently corresponds substantially to the inner diameter of the recesses 51, 52 the recording parts. In the exemplary embodiment, the inner diameter of the respective recess 51, 52 corresponds approximately to the outer diameter of the inner sleeve 61, 62 introduced into it. The inner sleeve 61, 62 in the respective recess 51, 52 of the receiving parts 41, 42 is preferably mounted in such a way this guided in the height direction z displaceable and laterally supported in the radial direction. For mounting preparation, the respective inner sleeve 41, 42 preferably for example from below, that is from the loading opening 21 of the washing container facing inside of the front, upper in the width direction x extending edge portion 60 of the washing 20 ago in the recesses 241, 242 and in the insertion direction (here height direction z) lying behind recesses 51, 52 of the receiving parts 41, 42 are introduced. The respective recess, in particular bore 51, 52 has in the height direction, that is to say vertical direction z, preferably of such a length that it is designed to completely receive or pass through a fastening screw 71, 72, that is to say shorter than its longitudinal extent. In each case, a fastening screw 71, 72 preferably from below, that is, from the inside of the front, upper edge region 60 facing the charging opening 21 of the washing container 20 through its recesses 241, 242 in the inner sleeves 61, 62 in the recesses 51, 52nd the receiving parts 41, 42 inserted or inserted. The shank 81, 82 of the respective fastening screw 71, 72 is passed through the inner sleeve or spacer sleeve 61, 62 for fixing the washing container 20 and screwed into the cabinet wall or niche inner wall 3 of the niche 2 so far that the inner sleeve 61, 62 vertically upward in the Recess 51, 52 of the receiving part 41, 42 wanders and strikes with its upper edge to the underside of the upper cabinet wall 3 of the niche 2. In this case, at least one lower, first longitudinal section of the respective inner sleeve is guided guided in the recess, in particular through hole of the respective receiving part. The niche inner wall 3 in this case lies opposite the upper, front edge zone 60 of the washing container with a gap or free space 2a in the vertical direction z. The head of the respective fastening screw 71, 72 has a larger cross-sectional width than the inner diameter of the respective inner sleeve 61, 62. So it is generally expressed in such a way that it rests on the lower edge of the inner sleeve 61, 62. As a result, an implementation barrier is formed for the respective fastening screw, that is, they can not by the through the spacer sleeve 61, 62 are passed. In the attachment state, the spacer sleeve 61, 62 is therefore clamped between the head of the fastening screw 71, 72 and the niche wall 3. The spacer sleeve 61, 62 serves as a Einschraubbegrenzung for the fastening screw 71, 72. On the other hand, it acts as a height adjustment in the fixedly mounted on the door lock housing 10 holding device HE1, HE2. It pushes out of the recess 51, 52 as an extension part when screwing in the fastening screw 71, 72 in the upper Nischeninnenwandung 3 as far out to a possible gap distance SA (viewed in the vertical direction z) between the upwardly projecting end of the respective holding device HE1, HE2 and the niche inner wall 3 is bridged. It can be bridged by the longitudinally in the height direction z displaceable inner sleeve 61, 62 different sized gap distances between the top of the upper edge 60 of the washing container 20 and the underside of the upper cabinet wall. Since the respective inner sleeve 61, 62 with a first portion in the recess 51, 52 of the respective receiving part 41, 42 of the respective holding means HE1, HE2 remains and laterally supported there in the depth direction y and in the width direction x, that is in the radial direction to the displacement direction z is stored, the door lock housing 10 and thus the rinsing 20 in the depth direction y and in the width direction x position secure, that is lock or fix. The longer the spacer sleeve 61, 62 is formed, the greater the gap distance SA between the upper end of the respective holding device and the niche inner wall 3 can be. That is, depending on the extension length of the gap between the upper end of the respective holding device and the upper niche inner wall 3 (viewed in the vertical direction z), a correspondingly long pushed out of the holding device upwards with a free, second section spacer sleeve 61, 62 for sufficient support to care. The length of this second section of the respective inner sleeve thus corresponds essentially to the gap distance SA between the upward, that is to say in the vertical direction z, end of the respective holding device HE1, HE2 and the niche inner wall 3. In this case, when the respective fastening screw 71 is screwed in, 72 in the upper niche inner wall 3, the respective inner sleeve 61, 62 as far from the recess 51, 52 of the respective holding device HE1, HE2 in the vertical direction z upwards until it protrudes with this second portion of the respective holding device and on the underside of the upper cabinet wall rests or sits on. It thus forms a Einschraubbegrenzung in the introduced in her fastening screw Niche inner wall 3 into it. The respective inner sleeve has, in particular, a longitudinal length, which is composed of the vertical gap distance between the upper end of the respective holding device and the niche inner wall facing it and of a partial length or the total length of the longitudinal longitudinal extent of the passage opening of the respective holding device. As a result, differently sized gap distances between the respective holding device and its facing inner wall of the respective installation niche can be reliably bridged by the inner sleeve in the case of installation tables of different dimensions.

In the in Fig. 2 illustrated embodiment of the built-in household dishwasher 1, the respective inner sleeve or spacer sleeve 61, 62 additionally an internal thread 6a. The thread 7a on the shaft 8 of the fastening screw 71, 72 is screwed into the internal thread 6a of the spacer sleeve 61, 62, before the tip of the shaft 8 of the fastening screw 71, 72 is screwed into the niche wall 3. By screwing the fastening screws 71, 72 in the internal thread 6a of the spacers 61, 62, these are particularly secure and firmly connected. The internal thread can of course also be omitted in the respective inner sleeve, so that it has a substantially smooth inner surface.

The housing 10 of the door lock 9 is frictionally secured approximately centrally on the upper side 23 of the upper front Spülbehälterrandbereichs 60. In the in Fig. 2 illustrated variant of the built-in household dishwasher 1, the housing 10 of the door lock 9 at projections 25 which project from the top 23 of the Spülbehälterrahmens 22 of the washing container 20, clamped. Alternatively, the housing 10 may also be latched by means of latching webs formed on it into corresponding latching grooves on the upper Spülbehälterrand 60. The longitudinal axes of the recesses or bores 51, 52 of the receiving parts 41, 42 of the holding devices HE1, HE2 are perpendicular to the top, in particular top wall 23 of the washing container 20 or to the underside of the upper niche wall. The niche wall is preferably a kitchen worktop or other piece of furniture, in particular a kitchenette.

The Fig. 3 shows schematically in a perspective view the side cross-section of the door lock housing 10 of Fig. 2 in the attachment region of the two holding devices HE1, HE2. The built-in domestic dishwasher 1 is mounted below the niche wall 3, which is in particular a piece of furniture, such as a kitchen worktop. By the heightwise or vertical direction z floating mounting of the holding means HE1, HE2 on the spacer elements or the spacers 61, 62, in the final assembly state, that is finished installation state of the dishwasher in the niche 2, on the niche inner wall 3 by means of the fastening screws 71, 72 are fixed or fixed, the Einbauhaushaltsgeschirrspülmaschine 1 vertically, that is, axially parallel to the longitudinal axes of the recesses or bores 51, 52 of the holding means HE1, HE2 are moved. As a result, the washing container 20, in particular the door lock housing 10, remains largely unloaded before any vertical or height direction z acting tensile or shear forces, such as occur during operation of the Einbauhaushaltsgeschirrspülmaschine 1, for example by pumping their circulation pump or when opening or closing the door 30 can. However, due to the self-weight weight of the built-in domestic dishwasher 1, it always slides back to its original position. In the starting position, the built-in household dishwasher 1 lies on a base, for example the bottom area of the niche 2. By guiding the holding devices HE1, HE2 along the spacer sleeves 61, 62, the built-in household dishwasher 1 can only be moved in the z direction relative to the illustrated x, y, z coordinate system. A horizontal displacement of the built-in domestic dishwasher 1, that is, a displacement of the built-in domestic dishwasher 1 in the transverse direction x and / or in the depth direction y, is prevented by the floating in the z direction storage of the holding devices along the spacer sleeves. Because the inner sleeves 61, 62 can be due to their longitudinal displaceability along the longitudinal extension of the recesses 51, 52 of the holding devices HE1, HE2 here in the vertical direction z, push out of the ends when screwing the mounting screws 71, 72 in the niche inner wall 3 so far that finally, in the final assembly state, any gap existing between the freely projecting ends of the holding devices and the niche inner wall 3 of pushed out of the holding devices, upper, second sections of the inner sleeves 51, 52 are bridged and this still be performed with their lower, first longitudinal sections still in the support means. In particular, these lower longitudinal sections are seated in the respective recess 51, 52 of the holding devices HE1, HE2 with little play or largely in the form of a pass, so that for them a movement in the radial direction relative to the longitudinal axes of the recesses, ie here in x- and / or y Direction or here in a horizontal position level are largely avoided. The spacer elements or spacers 61, 62 are thus preferably designed to be so long that first sections of the inner wall fixed spacer elements or spacers 61, 62 in the mounting state of Einbauhaushaltsgeschirrspülmaschine 1 always in the recesses or bores 51, 52 of the holding means 4 is performed. The floating mounting of the holding devices HE1, HE2 on the spacer elements or spacer sleeves 61, 62 has the advantage, inter alia, that deformations on the washing container, in particular on the front edge region 60 or on one or more attachments of the washing container, in particular its door lock housing 10 or the holding devices HE1, HE2, 72 are largely avoided due to the locking force of the fastening screws 71, 72. Because tensile and compressive forces can not be transferred to the washing container or its attachments due to the floating support of the holding devices outside on the inner sleeves fixedly attached to the inner wall by means of fastening screws along their longitudinal axes.

Generally speaking, the preferred mounting variant for built-in household dishwasher is to vertically mount the built-in household dishwasher in the area of the door lock to ensure the position of the built-in domestic dishwasher especially during the opening and closing of the door. The problem that the height of the niche in which the dishwasher is introduced, is not standardized, but may vary from one installation niche to another, can be compensated in particular already by the telescoping telescopically push out the spacers from the holding devices during insertion of the mounting screws and thereby the game between the washing and the inner wall of the niche wall, for example, the underside of the upper mounting plate, kitchen plate, etc., can be compensated in a flexible manner. These spacers can with the same uniform length, which in particular facilitates their manufacture, warehousing and packaging. Optionally, it may also be expedient if different long spacers are used for different gap spacings.

Due to this longitudinally displaceable mounting of the spacers in the recesses of the holding devices relative to each other, the Einbauhaushaltsgeschirrspülmaschine despite different large gaps / gaps between the Einbauhaushaltsgeschirrspmaschine and the mating contour of the niche - here in particular in the depth direction y and / or transverse x - are fixed in position without the built-in household dishwasher Risk of deformation is exposed.

In the modular household dishwasher according to the invention at least two spacer elements, such as sleeves, spacers or spacers, provided, which are guided within the recesses of the holding devices which are directly or indirectly attached to the Spülbehälterrahmen. If the spacers are mounted in a vertical direction / extension on the niche wall, the built-in household dishwasher can be guided vertically along them, without a force can be exerted by the mounting screws on the Spülbehälterrahmen the Einbauhaushaltsgeschirrmaschine. The sleeve rises when the fastening screw is screwed in, thus filling the gap between the rinsing container frame of the built-in household dishwasher and the niche wall. The built-in household dishwasher is then securely fastened in the niche and the door lock function suffers no influences by the attachment. An advantage of this type of mounting the built-in household dishwasher in a niche is, among other things, the simple attachment of the built-in household dishwasher to the niche wall for a mechanic. The correct attachment of the built-in household dishwasher to the door lock area guarantees the user a good sense of robustness when the door of the built-in household dishwasher is opened and closed. That is, the built-in household dishwasher does not move in or out of the niche. Further, deformations of the built-in domestic dishwasher as a result of the force of the fixing screws can be prevented because the fixing screws do not attack the washing box frame or the holding devices.

Since, for example, in the advantageous embodiment of the Fig. 2 and the Fig. 3 the inner sleeve in the height direction in the respective holding device is freely or loosely movable during assembly by the fastening screw and as far pushed out of the holding device until it abuts the inner wall facing it, it also provides a Eindrehbegrenzung for the fastening screw into the inner wall. As a result, it can be largely avoided in particular that the front edge of the washing container and / or the door lock housing attached to it can be bent in an inadmissible manner upwards. As a result, a perfect closing function of the door lock and a tight closing of the charging opening of the washing through the door are largely retained.

By an inner sleeve is movably or displaceably guided in the respective recess, in particular through hole, the respective holding device along its longitudinal extent, it can push out in the direction of the inner wall facing the holding device of the installation niche after an advantageous development of the invention so far that it with its first section is held in the recess of the holding device and at the same time with its second part of a possible existing gap between the outer end of the holding device and this facing inner wall of the Einbaunische partially or completely bridged when a fastener, in particular a fastening screw, into the recess with the in her inserted longitudinally displaceably mounted inner sleeve and is mechanically coupled to the inner wall, in particular screwed into this. The greater the gap width of a gap which may be present between the respective holding device and the inner wall of the installation niche facing the latter, the greater is the length of the second section of the inner sleeve pushed out. In this way, the inner sleeve acts as a compensation element or extension element, in particular telescopically from the recess of its holding device when inserting a fastener into the recess of the holding device with the inner guided inner sleeve and mooring, in particular screwing, the fastener in the holding device facing inner wall of the installation niche push out in the direction of this. It is thus a to the respectively existing existing gap width automatically adaptive guide extension of the respective holding device provided by the sliding out of the recess inner sleeve.

In particular, it is ensured by the free or longitudinally displaceable in the recess of the respective holding inner sleeve inner sleeve that in the direction of displacement impermissibly high force or force ingress of the fastener, in particular the fastening screw, are largely avoided in the inner wall of the installation niche on the holding device or the washing container of the dishwasher or completely omitted. The respective inner sleeve is fixed in the final assembly state by the fastening element, in particular fastening screw, on the inner wall of the niche, that is mounted firmly seated. Opposite this fixed inner sleeve, the respective associated holding device is floatingly mounted. In the transverse direction, in particular in an orthogonal to the longitudinal extent of the respective holding device with the guided in its recess inner sleeve position level, however, a radial support of the fastener is effected so that in this position a reliable position assurance for the dishwasher is provided.

Alternatively, it may also be expedient if, instead of an inner sleeve, an outer sleeve is provided along the longitudinal extent of which the respective holding device is mounted in a floating manner.
