Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Gehäuse für eine Dunstabzugshaube, das zumindest zwei Außenflächen aufweist, die relativ zueinander in einem Winkel angeordnet sind und im Bereich einer Kante des Gehäuses aneinander angrenzen, wobei ein von einem separaten Bauteil gebildetes Eckelement vorgesehen ist, das im Bereich der Kante zwischen den beiden Außenflächen angeordnet ist.The invention relates to a housing for an extractor hood, which has at least two outer surfaces which are arranged at an angle relative to each other and adjacent to one another in the region of an edge of the housing, wherein a corner element formed by a separate component is provided, which in the region of the edge between the two outer surfaces is arranged.

Dunstabzugshauben werden in Küchen eingesetzt, um den beim Kochen entstehenden Wrasen von der Kochstelle abzusaugen. Die Dunstabzugshaube befindet sich dabei in der Regel oberhalb der Kochstelle und weist als wichtige Zusatzfunktion eine Beleuchtungseinrichtung zur Beleuchtung der Kochstelle auf. Im Zusammenhang mit der vorliegenden Erfindung werden auch Dunstabzugsessen, Tischabsaugungen, Muldenlüftungen etc. zusammenfassend als Dunstabzugshauben bezeichnet.Cooker hoods are used in kitchens to extract the fumes produced during cooking from the hob. The extractor hood is usually located above the hob and has as an important additional function on a lighting device for lighting the hob. In connection with the present invention also extractor, Tischabsaugungen, Mulden vents, etc. are referred to collectively as extractor hoods.

Dunstabzugshauben besitzen häufig ein aus abgekantetem Metallblech gefertigtes sichtbares Gehäuse. Das Metallblech des Gehäuses ist zumindest teilweise sichtbar und ist mit einer optisch ansprechenden Oberfläche ausgeführt. Zur Anwendung kommt hier beispielsweise geschliffenes oder gebürstetes Edelstahl- oder Aluminiumblech.Hoods often have a made of folded metal sheet visible housing. The metal sheet of the housing is at least partially visible and is designed with a visually appealing surface. Used here, for example, sanded or brushed stainless steel or aluminum sheet.

Die Gehäuse der Dunstabzugshauben können beispielsweise quaderförmig oder pyramidenstumpfförmig ausgeführt sein. Einige Kanten des sichtbaren Gehäuses sind dabei von Biegekanten des Metallblechs gebildet, die nach dem Biegen eine nur wenig veränderte Oberflächenstruktur aufweisen und in der Regel keiner mechanischen Nachbearbeitung bedürfen.The housing of the hoods can be performed, for example, cuboid or truncated pyramid. Some edges of the visible housing are formed by bending edges of the metal sheet, which have only slightly changed surface structure after bending and usually require no mechanical post-processing.

Andere sichtbare Kanten des Gehäuses sind hingegen von jeweils zwei aufeinander stoßenden Schnittkanten des Metallblechs gebildet. Üblicherweise werden die Schnittkanten an diesen Stellen miteinander verschweißt und die Schweißnähte anschließend mechanisch nachbearbeitet, sodass die geschweißten Kanten anschließend dieselbe Oberflächenstruktur aufweisen wie das übrige Metallblech.Other visible edges of the housing, however, are formed by two abutting cut edges of the metal sheet. Usually, the cut edges are welded together at these locations and the welds are then mechanically reworked, so that the welded edges then have the same surface structure as the rest of the metal sheet.

Gattungsgemäß ist es ebenfalls bekannt, sichtbare Kanten des Gehäuses, die von jeweils zwei aufeinander stoßenden Schnittkanten des Metallblechs gebildet sind, mittels eines Eckelements aus Kunststoff auszubilden. Die Schnittkanten des Metallblechs weisen hierbei im Bereich der Kante des Gehäuses einen definierten geringen Abstand auf. Dieser Abstand wird mittels des Eckelements verschlossen. Die Außenseite des Eckelements bildet einen abgerundeten Übergang zwischen den beiden an das Eckelement angrenzenden Außenseiten des Gehäuses. Nachteilig an dieser bekannten Lösung ist, dass die Eckelemente aus Kunststoff, aufgrund einer sich in der Regel unterscheidenden Oberflächenstruktur und/oder Farbe neben dem Metallblech als separate Teile sichtbar sind.Generically, it is also known to form visible edges of the housing, which are formed by two successive abutting cut edges of the metal sheet, by means of a corner element made of plastic. The cut edges of the metal sheet in this case have a defined small distance in the region of the edge of the housing. This distance is closed by means of the corner element. The outside of the corner element forms a rounded transition between the two outer sides of the housing which adjoin the corner element. A disadvantage of this known solution is that the corner elements made of plastic, due to a generally differing surface structure and / or color next to the sheet metal are visible as separate parts.

Aus der Druckschrift DE 298 03 766 U1 ist eine Haube bekannt. Diese Haube hat ein aus Metall gebildetes Eckelement, das mittels Schrauben an der Haube befestigt wird. Im Bereich der Übergänge zwischen dem Metallblech der Haube und dem Eckelement ist eine sichtbare Fuge unvermeidbar. Derartige Gehäuse von Dunstabzugshauben mit aus Kunststoff oder aus Metall gebildeten Eckelementen im Bereich der Kanten des Gehäuses werden deshalb im Vergleich zu Gehäusen mit geschweißten Kanten häufig als minderwertig betrachtet.From the publication DE 298 03 766 U1 a hood is known. This hood has a corner element formed of metal, which is fastened by screws to the hood. In the area of the transitions between the metal sheet of the hood and the corner element, a visible joint is unavoidable. Such housings of cooker hoods with corner elements made of plastic or of metal in the region of the edges of the housing are therefore often regarded as inferior compared to housings with welded edges.

Die Druckschrift DD 285 714 A5 offenbart ein Gehäuse gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 mit einem Eckelement für eine aus mehreren Einzelteilen zusammengefügte Dunstabzugshaube. Das Eckelement weist an seinem hinteren, dem Gehäuse zugewandten Ende einen Fortsatz mit Einsteck- und Zentrierfunktion auf. Dieser Fortsatz gewährleistet im Zusammenspiel mit Gehäusewänden und Blende einen Festsitz des Eckelements ohne zusätzliche Befestigungselemente. Zum Montieren und Demontieren des Eckelements muss die Blende vom Gehäuse abgenommen werden.The publication DD 285 714 A5 discloses a housing according to the preamble of claim 1 with a corner element for an assembled from several parts extractor hood. The corner element has at its rear, the housing end facing an extension with insertion and centering function. This extension ensures in conjunction with the housing walls and panel a tight fit of the corner element without additional fasteners. To install and remove the corner element, the panel must be removed from the housing.

Um eine gute Zugänglichkeit des Bedienelements für den Benutzer zur Verfügung zu stellen, schlägt die Druckschrift EP 1 526 337 A1 vor, das Bedienelement in einem Randbereich, beispielsweise in einem Eckbereich, des Gehäuses anzuordnen. Dieses Bedienelement hat einen Kabelkanal mit einer Nut, wobei die Nut passend zur Dicke eines aus transparentem Material gebildeten Gehäuses ausgebildet ist und über eine Klemmverbindung und/oder eine Klebeverbindung mit dem Gehäuse verbunden ist. Das Bedienelement überragt also das Gehäuse, was bei der Reinigung des Gehäuses nachteilig sein kann.To provide good accessibility of the control to the user, the document fails EP 1 526 337 A1 to arrange the operating element in an edge region, for example in a corner region, of the housing. This control element has a cable channel with a groove, wherein the groove is formed to match the thickness of a housing formed of transparent material and is connected via a clamping connection and / or an adhesive connection with the housing. The Operating element thus projects beyond the housing, which can be detrimental to the cleaning of the housing.

Ferner ist aus der Druckschrift WO 2004/057237 A1 bekannt, Bedienelemente an einem ausziehbaren Bereich einer Flachschirmhaube anzuordnen.Furthermore, from the document WO 2004/057237 A1 known to arrange controls on a pull-out area of a flat screen hood.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein einfach herstellbares, hochwertiges Gehäuse für eine Dunstabzugshaube zur Verfügung zu stellen.The present invention has for its object to provide an easy to produce, high-quality housing for a hood available.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des kennzeichnenden Teils des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Das Eckelement weist mindestens ein Bedienelement zum Betätigen mindestens einer Funktion der Dunstabzugshaube auf. Des Weiteren hat das Eckelement an seinem hinteren, dem Gehäuse zugewandten Ende einen Fügeabschnitt, mit dem das Eckelement in das Gehäuse eingesteckt und im Gehäuse verankert wird. Im Bereich des Fügeabschnitts befinden sich elektrische Kontakte, mit denen das Bedienelement an eine Steuerung der Dunstabzugshaube angeschlossen werden kann. Das Eckelement besitzt weiter die Funktion, das Gehäuse der Dunstabzugshaube im Bereich einer Kante des Gehäuses zu verschließen. Das Eckelement verbindet die beiden an das Eckelement angrenzenden Außenflächen des Gehäuses. Infolge der Anordnung eines Bedienelements auf dem Eckelement ist das Eckelement ein funktionelles Bauteil der Dunstabzugshaube. Aus gestalterischen und ergonomischen Gesichtspunkten kann es sogar erwünscht sein, die Oberfläche des Bedienelements oder des gesamten Eckelements gezielt optisch von den Außenflächen des Gehäuses abzusetzen.This object is achieved by the features of the characterizing part of claim 1. The corner element has at least one operating element for actuating at least one function of the extractor hood. Furthermore, the corner element has at its rear, the housing end facing a joint portion with which the corner element is inserted into the housing and anchored in the housing. In the area of the joint section are electrical contacts with which the control element can be connected to a control of the hood. The corner element also has the function of closing the housing of the extractor hood in the region of an edge of the housing. The corner element connects the two adjacent to the corner element outer surfaces of the housing. As a result of the arrangement of an operating element on the corner element, the corner element is a functional component of the extractor hood. From a design and ergonomic point of view, it may even be desirable to set the surface of the operating element or of the entire corner element in a targeted manner visually from the outer surfaces of the housing.

Bevorzugt können alle Bedienelemente der Dunstabzugshaube auf den Eckelementen angeordnet sein. In diesem Fall sind keine zusätzlichen Bedienelemente, und auch keine zusätzlichen Aufnahmen für Bedienelemente, wie z.B. Löcher im Metallblech des Gehäuses, erforderlich.Preferably, all controls of the hood can be arranged on the corner elements. In this case, no additional controls, and no additional recordings for controls, such as holes in the metal sheet of the housing required.

Die Außenflächen sind im Bereich der Kante des Gehäuses geringfügig voneinander beabstandet. In diesem Abstand zwischen den Außenflächen wird das Eckelement eingesetzt und verankert.The outer surfaces are slightly spaced apart in the region of the edge of the housing. At this distance between the outer surfaces of the corner element is inserted and anchored.

Der Abstand zwischen den Außenflächen des Gehäuses ist mittels des Eckelements verschlossen.The distance between the outer surfaces of the housing is closed by means of the corner element.

Eine optische ansprechende Gestaltung wird erzielt, wenn das Bedienelement eine abgewinkelte Betätigungsfläche aufweist. Die beiden Schenkelflächen der Betätigungsfläche sind hierbei vorzugsweise parallel zu jeweils einer Außenfläche des Gehäuses angeordnet.A visually appealing design is achieved when the operating element has an angled actuating surface. The two leg surfaces of the actuating surface are in this case preferably arranged parallel to each outer surface of the housing.

Bevorzugt weist das Eckelement mindestens zwei Bedienelemente auf, die in Längsrichtung des Eckelements versetzt angeordnet sind. Wenn sich beispielsweise das Eckelement an einer vertikalen Kante des Gehäuses befindet, sind die Bedienelemente folglich übereinander angeordnet.Preferably, the corner element has at least two operating elements, which are arranged offset in the longitudinal direction of the corner element. If, for example, the corner element is located on a vertical edge of the housing, the operating elements are thus arranged one above the other.

Bevorzugt liegt zumindest ein Abschnitt einer Betätigungsfläche des Bedienelements zumindest annähernd in der Ebene einer der Außenflächen des Gehäuses und liegt vorzugsweise ein zweiter Abschnitt der Betätigungsfläche zumindest annähernd in der Ebene der zweiten Außenfläche des Gehäuses. Die Betätigungsflächen gehen dabei möglichst übergangslos in die Außenflächen des Gehäuses über. Ausgehend von dieser Position kann die Betätigungsfläche zur Betätigung des Bedienelements ggf. in Richtung des Gehäuseinneren gedrückt werden, wobei es aus der Ebene der Außenfläche des Gehäuses heraus bewegt wird.Preferably, at least a portion of an actuating surface of the operating element is at least approximately in the plane of one of the outer surfaces of the housing and is preferably a second portion of the actuating surface at least approximately in the plane of the second outer surface of the housing. The actuating surfaces go as seamlessly as possible into the outer surfaces of the housing. Starting from this position, the actuating surface for actuating the operating element may optionally be pressed in the direction of the housing interior, wherein it is moved out of the plane of the outer surface of the housing.

Eine optisch besonders ansprechende Anordnung liegt vor, wenn zumindest ein Abschnitt einer Betätigungsfläche des Bedienelements zumindest annähernd spaltfrei neben einer Außenfläche des Gehäuses angeordnet ist und wenn vorzugsweise ein zweiter Abschnitt der Betätigungsfläche zumindest annähernd spaltfrei neben der zweiten Außenfläche des Gehäuses angeordnet ist. Die Betätigungsfläche grenzt dabei direkt an die Außenflächen des Gehäuses an. Vorzugsweise ist die zumindest annähernd komplette Oberfläche des Eckelements von den Betätigungsflächen gebildet.An optically particularly attractive arrangement is when at least a portion of an actuating surface of the operating element is arranged at least approximately gap-free next to an outer surface of the housing and if preferably a second portion of the actuating surface is arranged at least approximately gap-free adjacent to the second outer surface of the housing. The actuating surface is adjacent directly to the outer surfaces of the housing. Preferably, the at least approximately complete surface of the corner element is formed by the actuating surfaces.

Zumindest ein Bedienelement ist als Drucktaster ausgeführt. Bei einem Drucktaster wird die Betätigungsfläche zur Betätigung in Richtung des Gehäuseinneren ausgelenkt. Anschließend federt die Betätigungsfläche des Drucktasters in seine Ausgangsposition zurück.At least one operating element is designed as a push-button. With a push button, the actuating surface is deflected for actuation in the direction of the housing interior. Subsequently, the actuating surface of the push button spring back to its original position.

Eine andere zweckmäßige Ausgestaltungsform sieht vor, dass mindestens ein Bedienelement als Touchsensor ausgeführt ist. Die Betätigungsfläche eines Touchsensors erfährt keine mechanische Auslenkung. Stattdessen umfasst das als Touchsensor ausgeführte Bedienelement einen Berührungssensor oder einen Näherungssensor, dessen Ausgangssignal elektronisch weiterverarbeitet wird.Another expedient embodiment provides that at least one operating element is designed as a touch sensor. The actuating surface of a touch sensor undergoes no mechanical deflection. Instead, the operating element embodied as a touch sensor comprises a touch sensor or a proximity sensor whose output signal is further processed electronically.

Mit besonderem Vorteil ist mindestens ein Bedienelement zur Betätigung, vorzugsweise zur Leistungssteuerung eines Gebläses der Dunstabzugshaube vorgesehen.With particular advantage, at least one operating element for actuating, preferably for power control of a fan of the extractor hood is provided.

Mindestens ein weiteres Bedienelement ist zur Betätigung, vorzugsweise zur Helligkeitssteuerung einer Beleuchtungseinrichtung der Dunstabzugshaube vorgesehen. In einer bevorzugten Anwendung sind die zwei Außenflächen des Gehäuses der Dunstabzugshaube relativ zueinander im Wesentlichen rechtwinklig angeordnet. Dies ist insbesondere bei quaderförmigen Gehäusen der Fall.At least one further operating element is provided for actuating, preferably for controlling the brightness of a lighting device of the extractor hood. In a preferred application, the two outer surfaces of the housing of the extractor hood are arranged substantially at right angles relative to one another. This is the case in particular with cuboid housings.

Weiter ist jede der zwei Außenflächen im Wesentlichen senkrecht ausgerichtet. Das Eckelement befindet sich damit an einer sich im Wesentlichen vertikal erstreckenden Kante des Gehäuses. Das Gehäuse der Dunstabzugshaube weist mehrere Kanten auf, wobei im Bereich von mindestens zwei Kanten jeweils ein von einem separaten Bauteil gebildetes Eckelement mit mindestens einem Bedienelement angeordnet ist.Further, each of the two outer surfaces is oriented substantially vertically. The corner element is thus located on a substantially vertically extending edge of the housing. The housing of the extractor hood has several edges, wherein in each case one of a separate component formed corner element is arranged with at least one control element in the region of at least two edges.

Vorteilhafterweise ist das Gehäuse zumindest teilweise von einem abgekanteten Blechteil gebildet und sind zumindest zwei Außenflächen aus einem gemeinsamen Blechteil ausgeführt, welche Außenflächen im Bereich einer Kante des Gehäuses aneinander angrenzen und im Bereich der Kante ein von einem separaten Bauteil gebildetes Eckelement mit mindestens einem Bedienelement angeordnet ist. Das Eckelement verbindet damit zwei Kanten desselben Blechteils.Advantageously, the housing is at least partially formed by a folded sheet metal part and at least two outer surfaces made of a common sheet metal part, which adjoin outer surfaces in the region of an edge of the housing and in the region of the edge of a separate component formed corner element is arranged with at least one control element , The corner element thus connects two edges of the same sheet metal part.

Weitere Vorteile und Einzelheiten der Erfindung werden anhand des in den schematischen Figuren dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläutert.Further advantages and details of the invention will be explained in more detail with reference to the embodiment shown in the schematic figures.

Figur 1 zeigt eine erfindungsgemäße als Esse ausgeführte Dunstabzugshaube. Ein Gehäuse 1 der Dunstabzugshaube weist an ihrer Unterseite Wraseneinrittsöffnungen (siehe Fig. 3, Pos. 12) auf. Das Gehäuse 1 befindet sich möglichst mittig oberhalb einer nicht dargestellten Kochstelle. An der Oberseite des Gehäuses 1 befindet sich ein Kamin 2, in dem sich ein Rohr oder Schlauch zum Abführen des angesaugten Wrasen befindet. Im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel dient der Kamin auch zur Aufhängung der Dunstabzugshaube, beispielsweise an einer Zimmerdecke. FIG. 1 shows an inventive designed as an Esse hood. A housing 1 of the hood has on its underside Wraseneinrittsöffnungen (see Fig. 3 , Pos. 12). The housing 1 is located as centrally as possible above a cooking point, not shown. At the top of the housing 1 is a chimney 2, in which there is a pipe or hose for discharging the sucked-in vapor. In the present embodiment, the fireplace also serves to suspend the hood, for example on a ceiling.

Von dem Gehäuse 1 sind in der Ansicht gemäß Figur 1 zwei Außenflächen 3, 4 sowie eine Deckfläche 5 sichtbar. Die Außenflächen 3, 4 und die Deckfläche 5 sind vorzugsweise aus einem einzigen Metallblech gebogen. Im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel sind die Außenflächen 3, 4 gegenüber der Deckfläche 5 durch Biegekanten abgesetzt. Zwischen den beiden Außenflächen 3 und 4 befindet sich hingegen ein Eckelement 6, das die beiden Außenflächen 3, 4 miteinander verbindet und eine zwischen den Außenflächen 3, 4 vorhandene Lücke verschließt.From the housing 1 are in the view according to FIG. 1 two outer surfaces 3, 4 and a top surface 5 visible. The outer surfaces 3, 4 and the top surface 5 are preferably bent from a single metal sheet. In the present embodiment, the outer surfaces 3, 4 are offset from the top surface 5 by bending edges. By contrast, a corner element 6 which connects the two outer surfaces 3, 4 to one another and closes a gap existing between the outer surfaces 3, 4 is located between the two outer surfaces 3 and 4.

Erfindungsgemäß sind auf den Eckelementen 6 Bedienelemente 7 angeordnet. Mit den Bedienelementen 7 kann beispielsweise ein Gebläse der Dunstabzugshaube aus- und eingeschaltet werden sowie die Leistung des Gebläses eingestellt werden. Ebenfalls möglich ist es, mit den Bedienelementen 7 eine Beleuchtungseinrichtung der Dunstabzugshaube aus- und einzuschalten und ggf. die Lichtstärke zu dimmen.According to the invention 6 controls 7 are arranged on the corner elements. With the controls 7, for example, a fan of the hood can be switched off and on and the performance of the fan can be adjusted. It is also possible to turn off and on with the controls 7, a lighting device of the hood and if necessary to dim the light intensity.

Figur 2 zeigt die Dunstabzugshaube gemäß Figur 1 mit einem entfernten Eckelement 6. Das Eckelement 6 weist an seinem hinteren, dem Gehäuse 1 zugewandten Ende einen Fügeabschnitt 13 auf, mit dem das Eckelement 6 in das Gehäuse 1 eingesteckt und darin verankert wird. Im Bereich des Fügeabschnitts 13 befinden sich auch elektrische Kontakte, mit denen die Bedienelemente 7 an eine Steuerung der Dunstabzugshaube angeschlossen werden können. Für einen Benutzer der Dunstabzugshaube von außen sichtbar sind die Betätigungsflächen der Bedienelemente 7. Durch Berühren oder Drücken der Betätigungsfläche wird das entsprechende Bedienelement 7 betätigt. FIG. 2 shows the hood according to FIG. 1 with a remote corner element 6. The corner element 6 has at its rear, the housing 1 facing the end of a joint portion 13, with which the corner element 6 is inserted into the housing 1 and anchored therein. In the region of the joining section 13 there are also electrical contacts with which the operating elements 7 can be connected to a control of the extractor hood. For a user of the hood visible from the outside are the actuating surfaces of the controls 7. By touching or pressing the actuating surface, the corresponding control element 7 is actuated.

In Figur 3 ist die Dunstabzugshaube von unten dargestellt. Zu erkennen ist hier eine Bodenfläche 8 des Gehäuses 1, die aus vier Segmenten besteht, die mit jeweils einer Biegekante in die Außenflächen 3, 4 des Gehäuses 1 übergehen. An allen vier vertikalen Außenkanten des Gehäuses 1 befindet sich jeweils ein Eckelement 6 mit Bedienelementen 7. Damit kann die Dunstabzugshaube von allen Seiten bedient werden.In FIG. 3 the extractor hood is shown from below. Evident here is a bottom surface 8 of the housing 1, which consists of four segments, which pass into the outer surfaces 3, 4 of the housing 1, each with a bending edge. At each of the four vertical outer edges of the housing 1 is in each case a corner element 6 with controls 7. Thus, the hood can be operated from all sides.

Zwischen den Segmenten der Bodenfläche 8 des Gehäuses 1 befindet sich die Beleuchtungseinrichtung 9, im vorliegenden Fall mit insgesamt vier Halogenstrahlern. Weiter sind zwei Filterelemente 10 zu erkennen, die jeweils ein Wrasenleitblech 11 aufweisen, welches von Wraseneintrittsöffnungen 12 umgeben ist. Durch diese Wraseneintrittsöffnungen 12 wird der an der Kochstelle entstehende Wrasen eingesaugt. Anschließend durchströmt der Wrasen einen noch innerhalb des Filterelements 10 angeordneten Fettfilter, um dann weiter über den Kamin 2 ins Freie oder alternativ durch einen separaten Geruchsfilter hindurch zurück in den Raum gefördert wird. Das Gebläse der Dunstabzugshaube befindet sich in der Regel - in Strömungsrichtung betrachtet - direkt hinter dem Fettfilter.Between the segments of the bottom surface 8 of the housing 1 is the illumination device 9, in the present case with a total of four halogen lamps. Further, two filter elements 10 can be seen, each having a Wrasenleitblech 11, which is surrounded by Wraseneintrittsöffnungen 12. Through this Wraseneintrittsöffnungen 12 of the resulting at the cooking fumes is sucked. Subsequently, the vapor flows through a still disposed within the filter element 10 grease filter, then further through the chimney 2 into the open or alternatively by a separate odor filter through back into the room is promoted. The fan of the extractor hood is usually - as seen in the direction of flow - directly behind the grease filter.

Im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel sind an allen vier Außenkanten der Esse Eckelemente 6 mit Bedienelementen 7 angeordnet. Bei einer einfacheren Ausführung sind nicht alle, sondern beispielsweise nur zwei der Außenkanten mit Eckelementen 6 mit Bedienelementen 7 ausgestattet. Die anderen Außenkanten können dann mit einfachen Eckelementen ohne Bedienelement versehen sein.In the present embodiment, corner elements 6 with operating elements 7 are arranged on all four outer edges of the tray. In a simpler embodiment, not all, but for example only two of the outer edges are equipped with corner elements 6 with controls 7. The other outer edges can then be provided with simple corner elements without control.

Analog zu der in den Figuren dargestellten frei hängenden Inselesse kann die Erfindung mit den gleichen Vorteilen auch bei einer an einer Wand montierten Wandesse eingesetzt werden. In diesem Fall sind dann bevorzugt die beiden zum Raum weisenden Außenkanten mit Eckelementen 6 mit Bedienelementen 7 ausgestattet. In einer einfacheren Ausführung einer Wandesse ist nur ein Eckelement 6 mit Bedienelementen 7 vorgesehen, während die andere zum Raum weisende Außenkante mit einem Eckelement ohne Bedienelement ausgestattet ist.Analogous to the freely suspended island fairing shown in the figures, the invention can be used with the same advantages even with a Wandesse mounted on a wall. In this case, the two outer edges facing the room are then preferably equipped with corner elements 6 with operating elements 7. In a simpler embodiment of a Wandesse only one corner element 6 is provided with controls 7, while the other facing the room outer edge is equipped with a corner element without control.
