Definitions

  • the present invention relates to fixation elements employed in washer/dryer devices and to washer/dryer devices comprising such fixation elements.
  • Washer/dryer devices and particularly the dishwashers comprise a body part, a base part and various connection devices, which constitute a tub suitable for placing items to be washed.
  • the body part and the base part can be monolithically produced and one representative embodiment thereof is disclosed in the published patent document US2009211614A1 .
  • these parts can alternatively be produced separately and then mounted to each other during assembly using various fixation elements.
  • the patent document JP2004267679A discloses a dishwasher with a simply and inexpensively produced washing tub.
  • the washing tub of the dishwasher disclosed in said document comprises an upper surface structural member constituting an upper part, a washing tub member constituting a side face, and a bottom structural member constituting a bottom thereof.
  • Said dishwasher further comprises a connection member, which is positioned on the outer side surface of the washing tub member, and joins the upper surface structural member and the bottom structural member to each other.
  • the components constituting the washing tub are produced separately and then assembled in a simple manner.
  • said connection member joins the upper surface structural member and the bottom structural member to each other, but cannot provide a solution for the assembly of those components constituting the body of the washing tub.
  • a dishwasher in which a washing tub is arranged so as to be freely pulled out forward is configured by bottom portion configuring member and washing tub member and air blow path configured by engaging lower divided path which is integrally formed on the bottom portion configuring member and upper divided path which is integrally formed on washing tub member is disclosed.
  • the washing water that circulates in the dishwasher does not come into contact with a joining portion even if the washing water enters the air blow path, therefore the leakage of the washing water to the outside of the washing tub is prevented.
  • said washing tub member and bottom portion configuring member are not connected to each other by a durable connection because the only element that keeps said two parts from being dismantled is the engagement member protrusion disposed on the washing tub member.
  • Another dishwasher comprising a washing tank made of metal and a base made of a plastic derivative material is disclosed in the patent document WO2008080933A1 .
  • Said invention aims to realize a dishwasher with a washing tank and a base which are non-detachable and leak-proof.
  • the detachment of the washing tank and the base of the dishwasher body is difficult to perform because they are not connected to each other in a detachable manner.
  • WO 2011/161853 A1 discloses a fixation arrangement for dishwashers, wherein a body part and a base part comprise first and second legs and a gap.
  • a fixation element developed according to the present invention is suitable for assembling a body part and a base part together in a washer/dryer device, said device comprising at least one body part having at least two lateral walls and at least one rear wall; and at least one base part having at least one body, at least one frame part disposed on at least one upper edge of the body so as to extend outward along said edge, and at least support part disposed on said upper edge of the body on the side of the frame part facing the body such that at least one gap is formed between the frame part and the support part, wherein the body part and the base part are mounted to each other by placing the lower part of at least one wall comprised by the body part into said gap provided in the base part, said fixation element comprising at least one base; at least one first leg, extending from one corner of the base and being disposed so as to contact an outer surface of the frame part not facing said gap when the body part is placed into the gap provided in the base part; at least one second leg, extending in parallel to the first leg from an opposite corner of said
  • the body part and the base part of a washer/dryer device can be assembled in a simple and firm manner.
  • the fixation element according to the present invention further provides an assembly which does not cause corrosion and/or deformation.
  • the object of the present invention is to develop a fixation element suitable for use in washer/dryer devices.
  • Another object of the present invention is to develop a fixation element which can easily be mounted and dismounted.
  • a further object of the present invention is to develop a fixation element which provides a firm and reliable assembly, and at the same time is easily mounted and dismounted.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a washer/dryer device comprising a fixation element developed to achieve the objects given above.
  • Washer/dryer devices and particularly the dishwashers according to the prior art comprise a body part and a base part, which constitute a washing tub where items to be washed are placed. These parts can either be produced monolithically or separately and assembled afterwards. Various methods such as screwing, gluing and coupling can be used for this assembly process.
  • the present invention provides a fixation element which was developed as an alternative to said assembly methods, as well as a washer/dryer device comprising this fixation element.
