Definitions

  • This invention relates to a household appliance equipped with a control knob.
  • Laundry drying machines comprising a knob for selecting washing program by a user.
  • Such knob comprises a plurality of serigraphs arranged along a perimeter ring of the knob.
  • the user has to turn the knob placing at a fixed graphic the serigraphy associated with the desired treatment.
  • a further drawback is that the realization of a serigraphy requires the realization of a independent phase that requires time, equipment and determines an increase of costs.
  • Document US 202 371 relates to an assembly for mounting molded actuating knob on a shaft.
  • Document JP 2002 200522 relates to blade for cutting of materials, wherein the surface of the blade is coated with copper plating.
  • the technical purpose at the base of the present invention is to propose an appliance that allows to overcome the drawbacks mentioned above.
  • the reference number 1 indicates an household appliance.
  • the household appliance 1 is a laundry drying machine such as a dryer or a washer-dryer.
  • the household appliance may be of different type, preferably belonging to the type of so-called "white household appliances", for example a washing machine, of the type laundry washing machine or dishwasher.
  • the appliance 1 comprises an instrument panel 2.
  • the appliance 1 also comprises a knob 3 applied to the instrument panel 2.
  • the knob 3 comprises at least one insert 30 co-moulded and shaped as an alphanumeric character.
  • the alphanumeric character refers to a letter of the alphabet and / or to a numeric digit. On the instrument panel there is a visual reference.
  • knob 3 it is possible to position such insert 30 in correspondence with said visual reference, in order to correspond to the selection of a specific command in advance associated with said orientation of the knob 3.
  • knob 3 is a knob for selecting a drying program.
  • the knob 3 comprises a plurality of alphanumeric inserts 30 co-moulded and arranged along a perimeter portion 31 of the knob 3.
  • a different command in particular of a different drying program, and more in general of a different laundry program treatment.
  • the knob 3 comprises a central grip zone 34.
  • the grip zone 34 comprises a protrusion which protrudes away from the instrument panel 2 to facilitate the grip by a user.
  • the perimeter portion 31 of the knob 3 comprises a perimeter ring 310.
  • Said at least one insert 30 is arranged along the ring 310.
  • said plurality of co-moulded alphanumeric inserts 30 are placed along the ring 310.
  • the inserts 30 are distributed along the ring 310.
  • the ring 310 has an outer circumferential perimeter.
  • the knob 3 comprises a body 33 having at least a seat 32 for housing said at least one insert 30.
  • Such body 33 is turning with respect to the instrument panel 2.
  • Conveniently such body 33 is one piece.
  • the seat 32 passes from side to side the knob 3 and it is obstructed by said insert 30.
  • the seat 32 passes through the knob 3 along a direction parallel to an axis of rotation of the knob 3.
  • the knob 3 comprises a groove 35 that extends internally to the knob 3 (see figure 3 , which shows a section, conducted orthogonally to the plane of the sheet of one of the inserts of Figure 2 ).
  • the insert 30 defines a bottom of said groove 35.
  • the depth of such groove 35 is between 0 and 0.5 mm.
  • Said at least one insert 30 is of a different colour with respect to the surrounding portions of the knob 3.
  • Said at least one insert 30 may be transparent and possibly define a guiding light.
  • such insert 30 is made of a material different from that of the body 30 of the knob 3.
  • knob 3 comprises aesthetic and decorative inserts, for example an annular element 4 in correspondence of the central grip zone 34.
  • the knob 3 is devoid of serigraphs, in particular is devoid of alphanumeric character serigraphs.
  • Object of this invention is also a production method of a selector knob of a household appliance.
  • this household appliance comprises one or more of the characteristics previously described.
  • the method comprises the steps of:
  • the step of realizing by co-moulding the inserts 30 inside said slots takes place in a mould having at least some walls in common with the mould wherein it is realized by molding said body 33 of the knob 3.
  • a first mould that includes protrusions is used to generate the slots.
  • This invention reaches several advantages. At first, it allows to optimize the timing of production of the knob 3. In fact, normally in the existing knobs there is a co-moulded insert with an aesthetic purpose. In this way, during the realization of the aesthetic insert, are realized also inserts that draw icons that allow the selection of commands to be given to the household appliance (avoiding subsequent serigraphs).
