- An object of the present invention is to create an improved cooking hob of the said kind.
- A solution of this object according to the invention is defined and characterized by independent claim 1 . The dependent claims refer to further embodiments of the present invention.
- According to the present invention a cooking hob for installation within a cutout of a worktop comprises a cooking hob plate and a housing for accommodation of electrical components and/or heating elements, wherein the housing is fixed to the cooking hob plate and/or to a cooking hob frame surrounding the cooking hob plate, wherein the cooking hob plate projects beyond the boundary section of the worktop and wherein a gasket is provided in the boundary section of the cooking hob plate that projects above the boundary section of the worktop, whereas the cooking hob plate bears on the worktop by means of the gasket and wherein the gasket forms a joint between cooking hob plate and worktop,
wherein the cooking hob is provided with at least one protection element, which protects the housing against descending, when the fixation of the housing to the cooking hob plate and/or to the cooking hob frame is at least partially loosened intentionally or unintentionally, wherein the protection element is provided with at least one bearing portion and wherein the material thickness of the protection element is adapted to the joint so that the bearing portion fits within the remaining space or gap between cooking hob plate and worktop. Thus, descending of the housing is avoided and consequent endangerment of furniture arranged below the cooking hob by hot heating elements is excluded. - According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention the bearing portion is distanced from the boundary section, when the glued or adhesive connection between cooking hob plate and housing is in regular conditions. Thus, the protection element is not loaded by a force when the adhesive connection is in regular condition.
- According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention the distance between bearing portion and the boundary section of the worktop is caused by the dimensions of the protection element and the housing, in particular by the dimensions of a structure comprised by the protection element and of a slot comprised by the housing wherein the structure abuts to an upper edge of the slot. This is an easy way to design a protection element that is not loaded under regular conditions and that protects the housing from descending when the adhesive connection is loosened.
- According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention 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 resilient. In such an embodiment the protection element is adapted advantageously to most loading cases that can emerge.
- According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention the housing is fixed to the cooking hob plate and/or the cooking hob frame by an adhesive connection and/or by adhered or glued connection elements In such a manner a simple and permanent fixation is established.
- According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention the housing is provided with at least one recess and the protection element engages into this at least one recess and/or wherein the protection element is provided with at least one recess and the housing engages into this at least one recess, in particular wherein position and dimensions of the at least one recess are designed and correspond with the position and dimensions of the engaging element in such a manner, that the protection element is not loaded by a force 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 loosened, the protection element prevents descending of the housing at least in that area of the cooking hob, where the fixation is loosened. Hereby a secure connection between protection element and housing is established. Consequently and advantageously the protection element works as a back up element that comes to effect only when a failure of the fixation occurs.
- According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention the protection element comprises a gap for accommodation 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, in particular wherein a stopping surface is provided within the gap, and wherein the housing wall rests against the stopping surface or the stopping surface rest 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. Gaps can easily be manufactured by various methods. 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.
- According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention 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 or wherein the housing comprises a hook-shaped element and the gap is formed between the hook-shaped element and the housing wall,

FIG 1 to FIG 3 from the parent application are provided just for illustrative purposes and to facilitate the understanding of the invention which is further explained with the help ofFIG 4 . - In
FIG 1 to FIG 3 a cooking hob 1 is shown, that is arranged within acutout 2 of aworktop 3. The cooking hob 1 comprises acooking hob plate 4 and ahousing 5, that are attached or fixed to each other by adhered or gluedconnection elements 6 non-detachably. Cookinghob plate 4 andhousing 5 comprise such dimensions, that they can be inserted into thecutout 2 of theworktop 3. The gap or opening formed thereby is covered by acooking hob frame 27, whereas thecooking hob plate 4 is supported by thecooking hob frame 27 onto theworktop 3. Typically electrical components and/orheating elements 8 are arranged within thehousing 5, that can furthermore be pressed against thelower side 9 of thecooking hob plate 4 by thehousing 5 or components arranged therein. - For avoiding an undesired descent of the
housing 5 and the electrical components/heating elements 8 comprised therein, when a failure of theconnection element 6 or theadhesive connection 7 occurs, aprotection element 10 having afastening portion 18, aconnective portion 20 and abearing portion 22 is provided. Theprotection 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 fasteningportion 18 forming agap 14, which provides such a width, that ahousing wall 16 can be accommodated therein. The hook-shaped element 13 is connected to thefastening portion 18, whereby the connection forms astopping surface 15. Theprotection element 10 engages into arecess 23 of the housing within thehousing wall 16. Position and dimensions of therecess 23 are defined so that theupper edge 30 of therecess 23 does not bear on the stoppingsurface 15, when the glued oradhesive connection 7 betweencooking hob plate 4 andhousing 5 is in regular conditions and therefore thehousing 5 is not supported by theprotection element 10, thus theprotection element 10 is not loaded by a force or is free of mechanical tension. - The distance A between the
stopping surface 15 and theupper edge 30 of therecess 23 is therefore typically larger than 0.1 mm, preferably between 0.3 mm and 1.3 mm. Astructure 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 thegap 14, so that in this region the width of thegap 14 is smaller than the material thickness of thehousing wall 16. Aslot 31 is arranged within thehousing wall 16 in a position vertically displaced from therecess 23, so that thestructure 25 engages at least partially into theslot 31. Thus a form-closure is established providing a play determined by the distance A. - The geometrical shape of the
protection element 10 is determined by the threebendings protection element 10 is bent off at itsfirst bending 17 in an angle smaller than 90°, and continues aslant away from thehousing wall 16 in aconnective portion 20. At thesecond bending 19 theprotection element 10 is bent reversely in a second bending direction substantially opposite to the fist bending direction, so that theconnective portion 20 continues further substantially parallel to thefastening portion 18. Thus, theconnective portion 20 has a slightly resilient property for theprotection element 10. At thethird bending 21 theprotection element 10 is bent off, so that theprotection element 10 continues in abearing portion 22 substantially rectangular to thefastening portion 18. Theprotection element 10 bears on aboundary section 24 on the top surface of theworktop 3 by its bearingportion 22 that continues rectangular to thefastening portion 18. It is also possible that the bearingportion 22 bears on elements or recesses that are provided on the top surface of theworktop 3 or upon the side wall of theworktop 3 surrounding thecutout 2. - While
FIG 1 shows a regular and intactadhesive connection 7 betweenhousing 5 andcooking hob plate 4,FIG 2 shows a cooking hob 1 wherein theadhesive connection 7 is detached or loosened on one side of theconnection element 6. Thehousing 5 has descended downwards and is no more fixed to thecooking hob plate 4. Theprotection element 10 restricts now the movement of thehousing 5 in vertical direction and keeps it from further falling downwards. Theupper edge 30 of therecess 23 of the housing now bears on the stoppingsurface 15 of theprotection element 10. The distance A now is 0 mm, thehousing 5 is supported by theprotection element 10 and further descending is prevented. - According to
FIG 3 aprotection element 10 is shown in perspective view. Theprotection element 10 has the already described bendings 17, 19, 21 and theportions recess 23 of the housing is provided, which accommodates a hook-shapedelement 13 of theprotection element 10. The shape of theprotection element 10 is adapted to the design of the cooking hob 1 with acooking hob plate 4, ahousing 5 and acooking hob frame 27 and corresponds to what was already described with regard toFIG 1 and2 . - According to
FIG 4 a cooking hob 1 is shown, providing acooking hob plate 4 and ahousing 5, whereas, different to what is shown inFIG 1 to FIG 3 , thecooking hob plate 4 exceeds at least partly the dimensions of thecutout 2 of theworktop 3. Thecooking hob plate 4 projects beyond theboundary section 24 of theworktop 3 and bears with aboundary section 28 at least partly on theworktop 3. Agasket 26 is provided in theboundary section 28 of thecooking hob plate 4 that projects above theboundary section 24 of theworktop 3, whereas thecooking hob plate 4 bears on theworktop 3 by means of thegasket 26. Thegasket 26 also forms a joint 29 betweencooking hob plate 4 andworktop 3. In particular thegasket 26 can be made of silicone or an adhesive, whereas thecooking hob plate 4 can be glued to theworktop 3 by itsgasket 26. The material thickness of theprotection element 10 is adapted to the joint 29 so that its bearingportion 22 is arrangeable or arranged and fits within the remaining space or gap betweencooking hob plate 4 andworktop 3. As can be seen inFIG 4 the bearingportion 22 is not in contact with theboundary section 24 of theworktop 3. The bearingportion 22 is distanced from theboundary section 24, when the glued oradhesive connection 7 betweencooking hob plate 4 andhousing 5 is in regular conditions and therefore thehousing 5 is not supported by theprotection element 10, thus theprotection element 10 is not loaded by a force or is free of mechanical tension. -
