- the frame structure and the first part of the supporting element can be fixed on the same surface of the pane element.
- the fixation of the pane element onto the frame structure through an adhesive and the fixation of the first part of the supporting element on the pane element by means of an adhesive can be carried out simultaneously.
- All assembly steps may be carried out by an automatic machine.
- the invention proposes a new fastening system to fix functional elements on a (glass) pane.
- a removal of a functional element it can be easily substituted by separating the two parts of the supporting element.
- the functional element can be separated from the second part of the supporting element.
- a new functional element can be attached to the second part of the supporting element, before the unit consisting of the functional element and the second part of the supporting element is clipped again together with the first part of the supporting elements which remains connected with the pane element by the adhesive.
- the functional elements are e. g. thermostats, switches, timers etc.
- An advantage of the proposed concept is the possibility of an easy modulation of the elements.
- identical supporting elements can be employed to attach different functional elements to the pane element.
- the proposal according to the invention can be applied to all existing configurations and components. With two modular components a large variety of functional devices can be installed on a full-glass front panel. Only the electronic Printed Control Board (PCB) needed to control the appliance, requires an appropriately shaped support because its shape may be largely different depending on the type of domestic appliance.
- PCB Printed Control Board
- the assembly process can be improved because a parallel work is possible: During the fixation of the first part of the supporting element the mounting of the functional element and the second part of the supporting element can take place. Afterwards, both parts of the supporting element are clipped together. Thus, the revolution of the stages of assembly of the functional element is possible on a full-glass pane or plate. One component (part) is fixed on the glass, while the other part can be mounted in parallel; finally both parts are assembled e. g. by hand without the use of any special assembly devices.
- the mentioned alignment means allow a quick and precise fixation of the first part of the supporting element at the glass pane.
- the automation of the assembly process is relatively easy, so that the costs for assembly can be reduced due to the reduction of assembly time.
- the proposed concept allows to use a relatively small hole in the glass pane and to completely cover the same by the actuator element (knob). This leads to a pleasant aesthetic appearance.
- the first part of the supporting element has been developed in order to have a reference to the glass pane to get an optimal alignment between the actuator (knob) and the glass pane.
- the reference consists preferably in a protruding edge that fits into an opening formed on the glass panel. The edge remains contained in the glass thickness so as to be hardly visible.
- the process of siliconing can be made by an automatic system, which significantly reduces the time of the assembly cycle.
- a two-part supporting element is employed to fastening a functional element on the front of the full-glass pane.
- the first part of the supporting element is preferably siliconed to the glass pane and the second part is pre-assembled with the appropriate functional element. Then, the two part of the supporting element are removably fit together and retained on another preferably by means of a snap-in fastening device.
- FIG 1 a domestic appliance 1 being a domestic oven is shown.
- the appliance 1 has a frame structure 2.
- a pane element 3 being a full-glass pane is arranged.
- the pane element 2 is presently mounted in such a manner that its perpendicular is horizontal.
- the rear side of the pane element 3 can be seen.
- two functional elements 4 are fixed.
- the left functional element 4 is a thermostat, the right functional element 4 is a switch.
- FIG 2 shows the front view onto the pane element 3.
- the full-glass pane has a flat surface. Only two actuators 9 being rotational knobs can be seen.
- each functional element 4 is carried by a supporting element 5, i. e. the connection between the functional element 4 and the pane element 2 is established by the supporting element 5.
- the pane element 2 has through-holes 6 for the passage of a shaft element 7 of the functional element 4 (see also the functional element 4 according to FIG 5 ).
- the actuator (knob) 9 is fixed in a known manner.
- the functional element 4 is fixed to the pane element 3 by the supporting element 5.
- the supporting element 5 consists of a first part 5' and a second part 5'' (see FIG 4, 5 , 6 , 7 , and 8 ).
- the two parts 5', 5'' of the supporting element 5 are removably connected.
- the first part 5' of the supporting element 5 is connected with the pane element 3 by means of an adhesive.
- the first part 5' of the supporting element 5 has alignment means 8 which are designed as a protruding hollow-cylindrical edge which penetrates partially the pane element 3 when being mounted. That is, the first part 5' of the supporting element 5 is centered relatively to the pane element 3 when being glued by means of silicon in the position as shown in FIG 4 .
- the mentioned first step can be carried out while simultaneously the pane element 3 is mounted by itself onto the frame element 2 by means of an adhesive.
- the pane element 3 and/or the frame element 2 is supplied in the contact area between the pane element 3 and the frame element 2 (see FIG 3 ) with an adhesive, preferably silicone, and pressed into the required position.
- the second part 5'' of the supporting element 5 and the functional element 4 are connected to another. This is done in the present embodiment by means of a screw connection as shown in FIG 5 where screws are indicated with reference 11. It can be understood that the second part 5'' of the supporting element 5 and the functional element 4 may be connected one to the other through a snap-in connection (details not shown, but well known in the art, see above mentioned citations).
- FIG 7 it can be seen that the premounted unit consisting of the second part 5'' and the functional element 4 is brought to the pane element 3, which bears the first part 5' of the supporting element 5.
- the unit consisting of the second part 5'' and the functional element 4 is pressed horizontally onto the first part 5'.
- a snap connection - see hooks 10 in FIG 6 - allows a secure but removable connection between the two parts 5' and 5'' of the supporting element 5.
- the parts 5', 5'' of the supporting element 5 are designed in a modular way. By this it becomes possible to mount different functional elements 4 onto the pane element 3 using basically the same supporting element. More specifically, the first part 5' of the supporting element 5 is always the same and is combined with a respective second part 5'' which is designed in such a manner that a specific functional element 4 can be securely supported. The portion of the supporting element second part 5'' that engages the first part 5' is the same for all parts 5'' supporting different functional elements 4.
- the actuator i.e. the rotational knob covers completely the hole 6 in the pane element 3, thereby enhancing the aesthetic effect of the front side of the appliance 1, and protects the functional elements from dirt.
