Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for connecting a first appliance with a second appliance, wherein the second appliance is arranged on top of the first appliance, wherein the device comprises a frame element which is designed to be fixed on top of the first appliance, wherein the frame element comprises two receptions for a foot arranged at a stem of the second appliance, wherein those receptions are arranged in a front region of the frame element, wherein the frame element comprises two receptions for a foot arranged at a stem of the second appliance, wherein those receptions are arranged in a rear region of the frame element, wherein each reception has a carrier surface for the foot which is limited by side walls and an upper wall having at least one recess for the passage of the stem of the foot.
  • connection device for connecting a first appliance, being for example a domestic washing machine, with a second appliance, being for example a domestic dryer, of the kind mentioned above is known e. g. from EP 2 436 819 A1 .
  • the connection device comprises receptions for the feet of the upper appliance, wherein the feet are arranged at respective stems.
  • the receptions have a recess for the passage of the stem.
  • the foot itself is securely fixed in the reception when the foot is pushed into the reception.
  • Each reception is arranged at the necessary position for the respective upper appliance which has to be arranged onto the lower appliance.
  • each adapter element comprises a reception for the foot arranged at the stem, wherein the reception has an upper wall having at least one recess for the passage of the stem of the foot, wherein the recess is arranged at a front end of the adapter element, wherein the adapter element is designed to fit into a reception in the rear region of the frame element with its rear end.
  • the adapter element is preferably formed in its rear end to form-fit into the reception in the rear region of the frame element.
  • the recess in the upper wall of the reception of the adapter element can have a circular shape in a top plan view.
  • At least one of the recesses of the receptions in the rear region of the frame element has - according to a special embodiment of the invention - two adjacent sections, each forming a housing or a dead stop for the stem of the second appliance.
  • the adapter element can be shaped to fit into both of the adjacent sections of the recess.
  • connection means can be arranged to connect the adapter element with the frame element in its mounted state.
  • the connection means are preferably screws.
  • the adapter element can be made from plastic material.
  • the adapter element is an injection moulded part.
  • the frame element can have two side regions, wherein the receptions are arranged in the side regions of the frame element.
  • the frame element can also have a receiving space for a panel element.
  • the device can comprise fixation means for the fixation of the device on the top side of the first appliance.
  • fixation means can comprise a holding element having at least one hook element, wherein the hook element is designed to be engaged with a top plate of the first appliance.
  • the holding element is connected with the frame element by means of a screw connection.
  • the device comprises at least two sets of two adapter elements, wherein the longitudinal extension of the adapter elements in the direction of the depth of the appliances is different for each set of adapter elements.
  • a second appliance with different depths can be securely arranged on the first appliance.
  • connection device as pre-known e. g. from EP 2 436 819 A1 from the applicant in order to allow a user to stack a second appliance, specifically a dryer, having a smaller depth dimension onto a first appliance, specifically a washing machine, which has ordinary (standard) dimensions (standard depth: normally about 60 cm).
  • connection device for stacking a second appliance can be used, without adapters, when the two appliances have the same depth (ordinary depth dimensions) and with adapters, in case the second appliance has a lower depth than the first appliance.
  • This allows to provide a single connection device for being used for stacking a very wide range of appliances models.
  • the adapters are simply inserted into the recesses provided in the connection device (stacking kit) for receiving a resting foot of the second appliance having the same depth of the first appliance.
  • the adapters itself are provided with a recess to receive the foot of the upper appliance with the smaller depth.
  • a screw may further fix each adapter onto the connection device (stacking kit) after the adapter has been inserted into the stacking kit recess.
  • connection device can be employed as known from EP 2 436 819 A1 from the applicant. Only the two adapter elements are required in addition to be able to connect a smaller second appliance on the first appliance in a secure manner and with a pleasant appearance.
  • a first appliance 2 which is a washing machine in the present embodiment
  • a second appliance 3 which is a dryer in the present case
  • the second appliance 3 i. e. the dryer, has to be arranged onto the first appliance 2 in a stable manner. For doing so, a device 1 for connecting is employed.
  • the upper appliance i. e. the second appliance 3 has four feet (schematically shown in Fig. 5 with reference numeral 7) which are arranged at stems (see reference numeral 8 in Fig. 5 ) which often are designed as a threaded rod.
  • Fig. 1 In Fig. 1 is can be seen that both appliances 2 and 3 have the same depth Do. This is normally a depth of about 60 cm. As can be seen in Fig. 2 in some cases a second appliance 3 has to be arranged on the first appliance 2, which has a smaller depth D 1 .
  • the device 1 has a frame element 4.
  • the frame element 4 has a substantial U-shaped form. So, a receiving space is formed for a panel element 25.
  • the device 1 has four receptions 5, 6, 10, 11, i. e. two receptions 5, 6 for the front feet 7 of the second appliance 3 and two receptions 10, 11 for the rear feet 7 of the second appliance 3.
  • the front receptions 5, 6 are arranged in a front region 9 of the device 1
  • the receptions 10, 11 are arranged in a rear region 12 of the device 1.
  • All receptions 5, 6, 10, 11 are arranged in side regions 23 and 24 of the frame element 4 and the device 1 respectively.
  • connection device 1 When to upper appliance 3 is smaller in its depth than the lower appliance 2, the pre-known connection device 1 is not suitable as the rear feet 7 of the upper appliance 3 are not at the right position in relation to the connection device 1 to be received by the rear receptions.
  • each reception 5, 6, 10, 11 has a carrier surface 13 which is basically formed by the upper surface of the frame element 4.
  • the reception 5, 6, 10, 11 is formed by side walls 14 and upper walls 15 to form a reception chamber.
  • the upper wall 15 has a recess 16.
  • the adaptor element 17 has a front end 21 and a rear end 22.
  • the rear end 22 is formed in such a manner that it form-fits into the respective reception 10 and 11 as can be seen in the synopsis of Fig. 5 and Fig. 6 .
  • Fig. 5 the adapter element 17 is shown before it is pushed into the reception 10, 11.
  • Fig. 6 it can be seen that the adapter element 17 is fully pushed into the reception 10, 11.
  • the adapter element 17 For receiving the foot 7 of the upper appliance 3 the adapter element 17 has a design in its front end 21 similar to the reception 10, 11.
  • the reception 18 of the adapter element 17 is formed by an upper wall 19 in which a recess 20 is provided. Side walls delimit the containing chamber of the reception 18.
  • connection device 1 When a connection device 1 is provided with more than one pair of adapter elements 17 it becomes possible to use adapter elements 17 of different length for arranging a second appliance 3 onto the first appliance 2, wherein the adapter elements 17 are chosen according to the actual depth of the upper appliance.
