Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a washer/dryer wherein the damages that can occur during transportation are prevented.
  • German Patent No DE3722301 a telescopic connection structure and additionally, an assembly method that is performed by screwing through the slots aligned with the front wall upper bolt on the body is explained.
  • the aim of the present invention is the realization of a washer/dryer wherein the damages that can occur during transportation are reduced and which can be easily assembled.
  • the washer/dryer of the present invention comprises an upper fold formed on the free edge of the front wall upper flange by the bending of this edge upwards, and a side fold each, formed on the free edges of the front wall side flanges by the bending of these edges such that they will face each other.
  • the front wall furthermore, comprises two flaps extending upwards at both sides of the upper fold and at least two flaps at the upper end of the side folds, extending towards the other flaps located on the upper fold, in order to provide that the front wall is fixed onto the side walls.
  • the flaps located on the upper fold and on the side fold overlap and thus, form the area wherein the fixing is performed.
  • the assembly of the front wall to the side walls can be performed by screwing, riveting, welding or such a method.
  • the flaps comprise a hole each, through which the screw can be passed during fixing and the washer/dryer comprises at least two screws used in fixing.
  • the holes are also aligned, and the screw is enabled to be passed therethrough and to be fixed to the side wall positioned behind them.
  • the hole wherein the screw first enters that is, the hole situated on the flap on the upper fold is smaller than the one behind it.
  • the side fold comprises a slit between the edge, wherein the side fold joins the side flange, and the flap such that it will enable the partial movement of the flap.
  • the flap is provided to obtain a flexibility and to be more resistant against the rotating and tension forces acting thereon.
  • the flap extending from the side fold towards the other flap on the upper fold comprises an inclined step at its portion between the side and the upper fold.
  • the step also, improves the resistance of the flap against forces acting from different directions.
  • Figure 1 - is the perspective view of a washer/dryer.
  • Figure 2 - is the rear view of a washer/dryer front wall.
  • Figure 3 - is the detailed perspective view of the flaps on the upper fold and the side fold.
  • Figure 4 - is the detailed cross-sectional view of the flaps on the upper fold and the side fold as fixed to the side wall by screw.
  • the washer/dryer (1) comprises at least two side walls (2) covering the volume from sides wherein the tub and other elements are situated, a front wall (3) fixed onto the side walls (2).
  • the front wall (3) comprises
  • the front wall (3) furthermore, comprises at least two flaps (108)
  • the front wall (3) is formed preferably of a metal plate by being bent.
  • the flaps (8, 108) situated on the side fold (7) and the upper fold (5) are aligned one in front of the other at the same level.
  • the front wall (3) is first disposed onto the side wall (2) slidably and then joined to the point on the side wall (2), whereto it will be fixed, by screwing, riveting, welding or such a fixing method. This process is performed for the flaps (8, 108) situated both at the right and the left sides.
  • the front wall (3) is fixed onto the side walls (2).
  • the washer/dryer (1) comprises at least two screws (12) for the assembly of the front wall (3) to the side walls (2).
  • the flaps (8, 108) comprise a hole (9, 109) each, through which the screw (12) can be passed.
  • the holes (9, 109) also, overlap with each other such that the screw can be passed therethrough.
  • the hole (9) that is situated on the flap (8) located on the upper fold (5) is smaller than the hole (109) that is located on the flap (108) situated on the side fold (7).
  • the hole (9) remaining at the front face of the front wall (3) is smaller than the hole (109) remaining behind it.
  • the side fold (7) comprises a slit (10) located between the flap (108) on the side fold (7) and the edge, wherein the side fold (7) joins the side flange (6).
  • the side fold (7) provides the problems such as tearing and twisting that occur in the side fold (7) and the flap (108) during production and thereafter to be reduced.
  • the flap (108) located on the side fold (7) comprises an almost S-shaped step (11) at its portion extending towards the upper fold (5).
  • the resistance of the flap (108) and the side fold (7) against the forces acting on them is improved.
  • the front wall (3) and the area wherein the front wall (3) joins the side wall (2) are prevented from being strained and detached.
