Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a clamping claw designed for fixing an appliance, which is inserted in an assembly opening of a carrier plate and rests on the top side of the carrier plate, such as a ceramic stove top or the like.
- A ceramic stove top is normally installed by inserting it into an assembly opening of a carrier plate, e.g. a kitchen counter-top, from above, such that a rim provided at the upper side of the stove top rests on the top side of the carrier plate. In order to reduce the clearance between the appliance and the carrier plate, clamping claws are provided, which pull the stove top downwards at high forces. Since the forces of today's clamping claws neither can be limited nor varied there is an imminent danger that the stove top and/or the carrier plate and/or the clamping claws are damaged.
- Starting from this prior art technology it is an object of the present invention to provide a clamping claw of the above mentioned kind, which ensures a defined clamping force, that is variable depending on the intended field of application.
- In order to solve this object the present invention provides a clamping claw of the above-mentioned kind comprising a base element fixable to a lower portion of the appliance; at least one spring element, which is maintained at the base element and rests on the bottom side of the carrier plate in the assembled state of the clamping claw; and tensioning means being formed in such a manner that they tension the spring element along a clamp travel of pre-defined limited length.
- Due to the fact that the clamp travel of the spring element has a pre-defined limited length, also the maximum clamping force creatable by the clamping claw in regard to a special intended application is limited. Accordingly, a damaging of the appliance and/or the carrier plate and/or the clamping claw itself can be prevented by properly limiting the maximum clamping force of the clamping claw with regard to the intended application by limiting the clamp travel of the spring element.
- According to an embodiment of the present invention the tensioning means comprises an actuating element and oppositely arranged base element sections, which are relatively movable with respect to each other by operating the actuating element, whereas the spring element is arranged between the base element sections and rests on one of the base element sections in the assembled state of the clamping claw. Thus, the clamp travel of the spring element is essentially defined by the distance between the oppositely arranged base element sections at the maintaining position of the spring element.
- Preferably, the actuating element is a screw, which extends through the oppositely arranged base element sections and causes, when operated, a relative movement between the base element sections and thus, in the assembled state of the clamping claw, a tensioning of the spring element resting on one of the base element sections as well as on the bottom side of the carrier plate. Such a screw leads to an inexpensive and simple design of the clamping claw and is easy to handle by a user.
- The base element can be formed as a one-piece component and has a longish elastically deformable ring shape, wherein the actuating element extends through the oppositely arranged longish base element sections. Such a one-piece design of the element is advantageous with regard to the manufacture and the assembly of the clamping claw as well as with respect to the costs.
- According to an embodiment of the present invention one of the base element sections is provided with at least one guiding projection facing towards the other base element section, and the other base element is provided with a corresponding guiding opening receiving the guiding projection during a relative movement between the base element sections. Accordingly, a guided and uniform movement between the base element sections is ensured.
- Preferably, spacers are provided, which project from the base element and are spaced apart from the actuating element, wherein the spacers are preferably made integral with the base element. Such spacers rest on a lower portion of the appliance in the assembled state of the clamping claw and promote a uniform deformation of the base element upon the actuation of the actuating element.
- According to an embodiment of the present invention the base element comprises latching means, in particular latching hooks, for fixing the base element to the appliance, wherein the latching means are preferably made integral with the base element. Such latching hooks promote the ease of assembly.
- The base element is preferably made of plastic material.
- According to one embodiment of the present invention, the spring element essentially has a Z-form.
- The spring element preferably is made of spring steel or of an elastic plastic material having similar characteristics.
- In the following an embodiment of a clamping claw according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein
- Figure 1
- is a perspective view of a clamping claw accord- ing to an embodiment of the present invention;
- Figure 2
- is a perspective view of a base element of the clamping claw shown in

base element 12 is formed as a one-piece-component made of plastic material and has a longish elastically deformable ring shape. The ring shape is defined by two 18 and 20, which are oppositely arranged and extend in parallel, and by two essentially V-shaped basebase element sections 22 and 24, which connect theelement connecting sections 18 and 20. The upperbase element sections base element section 18 is formed with acontact surface 26 at its outer side, which rests on an appliance to be fixed in the assembled state of theclamping claw 10. The base 22 and 24 are each provided withelement connecting sections 28 and 30 which are arranged next to the upperlatching hooks base element section 18 and extend upwards, such that they project beyond thecontact surface 26 of the upperbase element section 18. Moreover, the base 22 and 24 are both formed with upwardly extendingelement connecting sections 32 and 34 on their upper sides. In the center portion of the upperspacers base element section 18 and the lowerbase element section 20 through 36 and 38 are provided, which are aligned with each other and receive the tensioning means 16. On both sides of the throughholes hole 36 the lowerbase element section 20 is formed with a guiding 40, 42 facing towards the upperprojection base element section 18. The upperbase element section 18 is provided with two corresponding guiding 44 and 46, which are aligned with and receive the guidingopenings 40 and 42, respectively, during a relative movement between theprojection 18 and 20.base element sections - The
spring element 14 is a one-piece component made of spring steel and essentially has a Z-shape, which is defined by amounting section 48, acenter section 50 and a supportingsection 52. Themounting section 48 contacts the lowerbase element section 20 of thebase element 12 and extends in parallel thereto, thecenter section 50 extends upwards from themounting section 48 beyond the 28 and 30 of thelatching hooks base element 12, and the joining supportingsection 52 extends slightly downwards. Themounting section 48 of thespring element 14 is provided with athrough hole 54 for receiving the tensioning means 16. - The tensioning means 16 is formed by a
conventional screw 56 having a thread 58 and the two 18 and 20.base element sections - In order to fix an appliance, which is inserted in an assembly opening of a carrier plate and rests on the top side of the carrier plate, such as a ceramic stove top or the like, by means of a
clamping claw 10, theclamping claw 10 is attached to the bottom wall of the appliance inclose proximity to the bottom wall edge by inserting the 28 and 30 of thelatching hooks base element 12 into corresponding latching openings formed in the bottom surface of the appliance. In this condition, thecontact surface 26 rests on the bottom wall of the appliance, and thespring element 14 upwardly projects from the bottom wall of the appliance towards the bottom wall of the carrier plate and rests thereon. Thereafter, thescrew 56 is screwed in a corresponding threaded bore of the appliance. Upon further tightening of thescrew 56, the lower base element section is moved towards the upper base element section, such that thespring element 14 is tensioned in order to eliminate a clearance present between the appliance and the top side of the carrier plate. During this movement the 32 and 34 come into contact with the bottom wall of the appliance and ensure a uniform deformation of thespacers base element 12 while further tightening thescrew 56. The maximum clamping force, which can be created in this manner, is limited by the distance D between the upperbase element section 18 and lowerbase element section 20 essentially representing the clamp travel D of thespring element 14. - The maximum clamping force creatable by means of the
clamping claw 10 can be varied by using a stronger orweaker spring element 14 or by providingseveral base elements 12 whose upper and lower 18 and 20 defined clamp travels D of different lengths. Thus, the clamping force of thebase element sections clamping claw 10 can be adapted to different applications, e.g. carrier plates and/or appliances of different heights or the like. - List of reference numerals
