Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a cooking device comprising a knob disposed on the panel and a control element that is adjusted by means of the knob.
  • knobs are used, that are generally located on the panel at the front side of the cooking device and that are used for the adjustment of various cooking parameters.
  • the desired cooking parameter is set as the knob is rotated around itself.
  • the knob transmits its movement to a control element disposed at the rear side of the panel and the control element provides the selected setting to be run.
  • a shaft is disposed on the control element that extends outside the panel from an opening arranged on the panel. The knob is fitted on the said shaft and the movements of the knob are transmitted to the control element by means of the said shaft.
  • the control elements are generally fixed to the inner surface of the panel from one side and extend towards the rear side of the panel.
  • the control element sags downwards from the said free end in the course of time and causes the position of the shaft with respect to the panel to change. This results in problems like the knob connected to the shaft rubbing against the panel, being jammed or getting stuck.
  • the aim of the present invention is the realization of a cooking device wherein the control element and the knob are connected to the panel rigidly.
  • the cooking device realized in order to attain the aim of the present invention, explicated in the first claim and the respective claims thereof, comprises a panel disposed at the upper side of the cooking chamber, a control element disposed at the back side of the panel, a knob disposed at the front side of the panel and a shaft that provides the communication between the control element and the knob by passing through an opening on the panel.
  • a portion of the shaft connected to the control element projects out of the opening.
  • the knob is mounted to the panel by being fitted on this portion of the shaft.
  • the knob By means of the preferably half cylindrical shape of the shaft, the knob, when rotated, also rotates the shaft and enables the parameter controlled by the control element to be changed.
  • a support member is placed between the control element, extending from the inner surface to the rear side of the panel and the surface situated thereunder. One end of the support member bears against the intermediate wall and the free end of the control element is borne at the other end. Thus, the positions of the control element and the shaft connected to the control element are prevented from changing in the course of time. This prevents the knob mounted on the shaft from contacting the surface of the panel.
  • the support member comprises a housing holding the control element and a carrier that extends from the housing towards the intermediate wall.
  • the housing grips the control element, extending almost parallel to the intermediate wall, from its lower surface and the carrier functions as a foot by extending from below the housing in a perpendicular manner with respect to the housing.
  • the end of the carrier bearing against the intermediate wall is produced from material with a high coefficient of friction. With its end being produced from a material like rubber, etc., the carrier does not slide when disposed on the intermediate wall produced from metal sheet thanks to the effect of the weight on the housing as well.
  • the support member is provided to be disposed into the body without using any kind of tool.
  • the mounting of the support member is completed by inserting a locking mechanism situated at the end of the carrier into the cut-out on the intermediate wall.
  • the resilient locking mechanism narrows while passing through the cut-out and gains a form that cannot be dislodged from the cut-out by getting wider and becoming free after its contact with the periphery of the cut-out is interrupted.
  • the support member is prevented from being dislodged after being mounted on the intermediate wall.
  • the support member comprises at least one claw that extends upwards from the base of the housing, gripping the control element disposed inside the housing from its sides and preventing dislodgement thereof from the housing.
  • the support member comprises at least one claw on each of the opposite sides of the housing.
  • the height of the carrier portion of the support member can be changed.
  • the same support member can be utilized by changing the height of the carrier even if the distance between the control element and the surface under the control element changes.
  • the carrier is telescopically configured. The height of the carrier can be changed by pulling out or pushing in from its end.
  • a prestress element is situated at the inner side of the carrier which enables the carrier to remain at the desired height.
  • the housing and the carrier are produced as two separate pieces and are attached to one another by the protrusion located on the carrier being inserted into the hole situated on the housing.
  • the housing and the carrier are produced as a single piece. Thus, ease of production is provided.
  • the support member is positioned so as to extend downwards from the free side of the control element, which is opposite to the side thereof fastened to the panel.
  • the weight of the control element is balanced and a stronger connection is achieved.
  • control element comprises a connection member wherein the knob is disposed.
  • control element is fastened to the rear side of the connection member by means of the shaft.
  • the housing has almost the same height as the control element. Thus, no matter how long the control element is, it is prevented from buckling at the center portion.
  • the free end of the control element that is fastened to the panel from one end, is borne in a balanced manner and the position of the control element with respect to the panel is prevented from changing.
  • the shaft does not deviate from its rotational axis and the knob operates properly.
  • the support member occupies a small area inside the body by means of its structure tapering from the base of the housing towards the end of the carrier.
  • Figure 1 – is the perspective view of a cooking device, the door of which is open.
  • Figure 2 – is the partial view of the cooking device.
  • Figure 3 – is the view of detail A in Figure 2.
  • Figure 4 – is the perspective view of the control element related to an embodiment of the present invention.
  • Figure 5 — is the perspective view of the control element and the support member related to another embodiment of the present invention.

  • the control element (6) sends signal to the component controlled thereby according to the movement of the shaft (7) and provides the respective parameter to be set to the value selected by the user by means of the knob (8).
  • the communication between the control element (6) and the component controlled thereby is provided with the cables connected to the sockets on the control element (6).
  • the panel (4) is placed on the front face of the body so as to remain at the upper side of the intermediate wall (3).

  • the housing (10) has a wide base such that at least some portion of the control element (6) is seated thereon.
  • the carrier (11) is connected to the housing (10) from one end and enables the control element (6) to be carried by bearing against the intermediate wall (3) with the other end ( Figure 6, Figure 7).
  • the end of the carrier (11) contacting the intermediate wall (3) is produced from a material having high coefficient of friction.
  • the support member (9) can be disposed between the control element (6) and the intermediate wall (3) without requiring any connection element.
  • the end of the carrier (11) is placed on the intermediate wall (3) and can hold onto the intermediate wall (3) without sliding by means of the material with high coefficient of friction.
  • the cooking device (1) comprises a cut-out (12) formed on the intermediate wall (3).
