In particular, at least in the first surface area a sufficient amount of adhesive material can be introduced, whereby in particular a stable attachment of the fastening unit to the hob plate can be achieved. In addition, a low probability of damage to the cooktop panel, which could be caused for example by contact of at least one of the surface areas with the cooktop panel, by the fastening unit, in particular due to a smaller contact surface of the fixing unit with the cooktop panel can be achieved.

Die Schichtdicke der zweiten Klebeschicht, welche sich in wenigstens einem montierten Zustand insbesondere wenigstens zu einem Großteil zwischen dem zweiten Oberflächenbereich und der Kochfeldplatte befindet, nimmt insbesondere einen Wert von wenigstens im Wesentlichen Null an. Dadurch können insbesondere geringe Kosten und/oder geringe Mengen an benötigtem Klebematerial ermöglicht werden.In addition, it is proposed that the second distance is a maximum of 0.2 mm. For example, in at least one mounted state, at least one second adhesive layer could be arranged between the second surface area and the cooktop panel, by means of which the second surface area could be fastened in particular to the cooktop panel.

A "longitudinal direction" of an object is to be understood in particular to mean a direction which is aligned parallel to a longest side of a smallest imaginary geometric cuboid which just barely encloses the object. As a result, in particular a slight influence of manufacturing tolerances and / or a low probability of damage to the hob plate by the fastening unit, in particular due to a smaller contact surface, can be achieved. In particular, in the mounted state, a majority of the fastening unit can be arranged at a distance from the hob plate.

Unter einer "Ausnehmung" soll insbesondere eine Öffnung und/oder eine Aussparung verstanden werden. Dadurch kann insbesondere ein Entweichen von Klebematerial aus einem Bereich zwischen der Befestigungseinheit und der Kochfeldplatte ermöglicht und/oder eine optimierte Schichtdicke bereitgestellt werden.According to the invention, it is provided that the fastening unit has at least one recess which is provided to permit, during assembly, an escape of adhesive material from a region between the fastening unit and the hob plate. For example, the recess could be arranged at the edge of the fastening unit. The fastening unit could limit the recess in particular of at least two and in particular of at most three sides. Alternatively or additionally, the fastening unit could limit the recess in at least one plane, in particular with respect to a geometric center of gravity and / or center of the recess, in particular over an angular range of at least 180 ° and advantageously of not more than 270 °.

As a result, in particular, a desired layer thickness can be set in the second surface area, as a result of which, in particular, reliable bonding can be achieved.

Weiterhin wird vorgeschlagen, dass die Befestigungseinheit mittels des zweiten Oberflächenbereichs dazu vorgesehen ist, eine wenigstens im Wesentlichen parallele Ausrichtung der Befestigungseinheit relativ zu der Kochfeldplatte zu sichern. Insbesondere ist eine in wenigstens einem montierten Zustand der Kochfeldplatte zugewandte Oberfläche der Befestigungseinheit, insbesondere der erste Oberflächenbereich und/oder der zweite Oberflächenbereich und/oder zumindest ein dritter Oberflächenbereich, in dem montierten Zustand wenigstens im Wesentlichen parallel zu der Kochfeldplatte ausgerichtet. Insbesondere schneiden sich eine durch die in dem montierten Zustand der Kochfeldplatte zugewandte Oberfläche der Befestigungseinheit aufgespannte Ebene und eine durch die Kochfeldplatte aufgespannte Ebene unter einem Winkel von maximal 15°, insbesondere von maximal 10°, vorteilhaft von maximal 5°, besonders vorteilhaft von maximal 3° und vorzugsweise von maximal 1°. Unter einer "Ausrichtung" der Befestigungseinheit relativ zu der Kochfeldplatte soll insbesondere eine Lage einer Ebene, welche durch eine in wenigstens einem montierten Zustand der Kochfeldplatte zugewandte Oberfläche, insbesondere den ersten und/oder den zweiten Oberflächenbereich, der Befestigungseinheit aufgespannt ist, relativ zu einer Haupterstreckungsebene der Kochfeldplatte verstanden werden. Dadurch kann insbesondere ein Verkippen der Befestigungseinheit relativ zu der Kochfeldplatte, insbesondere bei einer automatisierten Montage, vermieden und/oder eine optimale Positionierung der Befestigungseinheit relativ zu der Kochfeldplatte erzielt werden.Furthermore, it is proposed that the fastening unit is provided by means of the second surface area to secure an at least substantially parallel alignment of the fastening unit relative to the hob plate. In particular, a surface of the fastening unit facing the at least one installed state of the hob plate, in particular the first surface area and / or the second surface area and / or at least a third surface area, is aligned in the mounted state at least substantially parallel to the hob plate. In particular, a plane spanned by the surface of the fastening unit facing the mounted surface of the fixing unit and a plane spanned by the hot plate intersect at an angle of at most 15 °, in particular maximum 10 °, advantageously maximum 5 °, particularly advantageously maximum 3 ° and preferably of a maximum of 1 °.

Beispielsweise könnte eine Quererstreckung der Befestigungseinheit in einer Querrichtung der Befestigungseinheit wenigstens im Wesentlichen konstant sein, wobei der erste Oberflächenbereich und der zweite Oberflächenbereich insbesondere wenigstens im Wesentlichen dieselbe Quererstreckung aufweisen könnten. Vorzugsweise weist der zweite Oberflächenbereich zumindest eine Quererstreckung auf, welche wenigstens im Wesentlichen parallel zu einer, insbesondere zu der Querrichtung der Befestigungseinheit ausgerichtet ist und welche einen Wert aufweist, der größer ist als ein Wert einer maximalen Quererstreckung des ersten Oberflächenbereichs in der Querrichtung. Die Querrichtung der Befestigungseinheit ist insbesondere wenigstens im Wesentlichen und vorteilhaft vollständig senkrecht zu der Längsrichtung der Befestigungseinheit ausgerichtet. Vorteilhaft ist die Querrichtung wenigstens im Wesentlichen und vorteilhaft vollständig parallel zu der Haupterstreckungsebene der Befestigungseinheit ausgerichtet. Die Querrichtung der Befestigungseinheit und die Längsrichtung der Befestigungseinheit spannen insbesondere eine Ebene auf, welche parallel zu der Haupterstreckungsebene der Befestigungseinheit ausgerichtet ist. Beispielsweise könnte der zweite Oberflächenbereich zumindest zwei Quererstreckungen unterschiedlicher Ausdehnung und/oder Abmessungen aufweisen, wobei eine erste Querstreckung des zweiten Oberflächenbereichs einen größeren Wert als die maximale Quererstreckung des ersten Oberflächenbereichs und zumindest eine weitere Querstreckung des zweiten Oberflächenbereichs einen Wert aufweisen könnte, welcher insbesondere kleiner als die erste Quererstreckung ist.

Der erste Oberflächenbereich weist vorteilhaft eine wenigstens im Wesentlichen konstante Quererstreckung auf. Dadurch kann insbesondere ein Verkippen der Befestigungseinheit bei einer Montage an der Kochfeldplatte sicher verhindert werden.For example, a transverse extent of the fastening unit in a transverse direction of the fastening unit could be at least substantially constant, wherein the first surface area and the second surface area could in particular have at least substantially the same transverse extent. Preferably, the second surface region has at least one transverse extension which is aligned at least substantially parallel to one, in particular to the transverse direction of the fastening unit and which has a value that is greater than a value of a maximum transverse extent of the first surface region in the transverse direction. The transverse direction of the fastening unit is in particular at least substantially and advantageously aligned completely perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the fastening unit. Advantageously, the transverse direction is at least substantially and advantageously aligned completely parallel to the main extension plane of the fastening unit. The transverse direction of the fastening unit and the longitudinal direction of the fastening unit in particular span a plane which is aligned parallel to the main extension plane of the fastening unit. For example, the second surface area could have at least two transverse extensions of different dimensions and / or dimensions, wherein a first transverse extent of the second surface area could have a value greater than the maximum transverse extent of the first surface area and at least one further transverse extent of the second surface area could have a value which is in particular smaller than the first transverse extension is.
