Definitions
- the present invention relates to an assembly of a hood and a wall-mounted cabinet as defined in the preamble of claim 1.
- the present invention relates to an assembly of a motorized extractor or filter hood for domestic use and a wall-mounted modular kitchen cabinet incorporating such hood.
- hoods Built-in motorized extractor or filter hoods are known in the art, i.e. hoods designed to be accommodated in a wall-mounted cabinet of a kitchen.
- Prior art document DE 199 06 322 A1 reveals such a motorized extractor or filter hood inside a wall-mounted cabinet. Further, prior art document US 2008/302352 A1 also describes such a motorized extractor or filter hood.
- the hood may be completely hidden from view of a user until he/she needs to operate the hood, after opening a door that is part of the cabinet.
- hood Installation of such hood usually requires the hood to be connected, for instance, by screws and/or bolts, to the side walls of the cabinet and/or the bottom wall of the cabinet.
- the frame of the hood has appropriate slots or seats for receiving the screws which engage, for instance, in the side walls of the cabinet.
- hood in the cabinet requires the presence of at least two persons at the same time, i.e. one for supporting the hood and the other for simultaneously fastening it, for instance, to the side walls of the cabinet.
- a further problem of a cabinet with an integrated hood is that the front door will have to pivot upwards instead of rotating sideways.
- a hood that utilizes the entire depth of the cabinet's compartment to provide the largest extraction surface cannot be installed using classic hinges that cause the front panel to rotate about a vertical axis (or cause a rototranslational movement thereof), but using hinges that allow the front panel to rotate about a horizontal axis, thereby opening the front panel upwards.
- the hinges that allow upward movement of the front panel are obviously more complex than classic hinges, because, in addition to ensuring an upward pivotal movement, they must be also designed to support the weight of the front panel and to indefinitely maintain an open position. In order to ensure these characteristics, such hinges may also comprise pistons and/or complex mechanical joints, and are considerably more expensive than the classic hinges that are used in the wall-mounted cabinets of modular kitchens.
- the technical purpose of the present invention is to provide an assembly of a hood and a wall-mounted cabinet that can obviate the above mentioned prior art drawbacks.
- an object of the present invention is to provide an assembly of a hood and a wall-mounted cabinet that can afford installation of the hood in the cabinet's compartment by a single user.

Description
- The present invention relates to an assembly of a hood and a wall-mounted cabinet as defined in the preamble of
claim 1. - Particularly, but without limitation, the present invention relates to an assembly of a motorized extractor or filter hood for domestic use and a wall-mounted modular kitchen cabinet incorporating such hood.
- Built-in motorized extractor or filter hoods are known in the art, i.e. hoods designed to be accommodated in a wall-mounted cabinet of a kitchen.
- Prior art document
DE 199 06 322 A1 reveals such a motorized extractor or filter hood inside a wall-mounted cabinet. Further, prior art documentUS 2008/302352 A1 also describes such a motorized extractor or filter hood. - In this type of installation, the hood may be completely hidden from view of a user until he/she needs to operate the hood, after opening a door that is part of the cabinet.
- Installation of such hood usually requires the hood to be connected, for instance, by screws and/or bolts, to the side walls of the cabinet and/or the bottom wall of the cabinet.
- For this purpose, the frame of the hood has appropriate slots or seats for receiving the screws which engage, for instance, in the side walls of the cabinet.
- Particularly, installation of the hood in the cabinet requires the presence of at least two persons at the same time, i.e. one for supporting the hood and the other for simultaneously fastening it, for instance, to the side walls of the cabinet.
- This is an apparent hindrance whenever the user wants to install the hood by him/herself, i.e. without the help of other people, or whenever installation is carried out by specialized companies/professionals.
- Namely, in the latter case, the need for a greater number of persons to install the hood in the cabinet necessarily involves higher costs for the final user.
- A further problem of a cabinet with an integrated hood is that the front door will have to pivot upwards instead of rotating sideways. This is because a hood that utilizes the entire depth of the cabinet's compartment to provide the largest extraction surface cannot be installed using classic hinges that cause the front panel to rotate about a vertical axis (or cause a rototranslational movement thereof), but using hinges that allow the front panel to rotate about a horizontal axis, thereby opening the front panel upwards. The hinges that allow upward movement of the front panel are obviously more complex than classic hinges, because, in addition to ensuring an upward pivotal movement, they must be also designed to support the weight of the front panel and to indefinitely maintain an open position. In order to ensure these characteristics, such hinges may also comprise pistons and/or complex mechanical joints, and are considerably more expensive than the classic hinges that are used in the wall-mounted cabinets of modular kitchens.
- Therefore, the technical purpose of the present invention is to provide an assembly of a hood and a wall-mounted cabinet that can obviate the above mentioned prior art drawbacks.
- Particularly, an object of the present invention is to provide an assembly of a hood and a wall-mounted cabinet that can afford installation of the hood in the cabinet's compartment by a single user.
- A further object of the present invention is to use the classic hinges for rotation (or rototranslation) instead of the hinges with pistons or complex mechanical joints.
- The aforementioned technical purpose and objects are substantially fulfilled by an assembly of a hood and a wall-mounted cabinet that comprises the technical features as disclosed in one or more of the accompanying claims.
- Particularly, with the assembly of a hood and a wall-mounted cabinet according to the present invention, a hood may be more easily installed and removed into and out of a cabinet, without requiring the presence of two operators.
- Furthermore, the assembly of a hood and a wall-mounted cabinet according to the present invention can maintain the classic hinges of kitchen cabinets while using a hood that utilizes the entire depth of the cabinet.
- Further features and advantages of the present invention will result more clearly from the illustrative, non-limiting description of a preferred, non-exclusive embodiment of an assembly of a hood and a wall-mounted cabinet as shown in the annexed drawings, in which:

Figure 7 , once thehood 2 is within the volume V of thecabinet 3, it will be appreciated that theboss 24" extends beyond thetop wall 5 of thehood 2; thus, theboss 24" may be actuated by the user by application of an appropriate pressure thereon to switch from the first operating configuration, i.e. a stable state, connected to theside walls cabinet 3, to the second operating configuration, i.e. a state in which thehood 22 may be rotated about the axis X-X to be removed or inserted out of and into the volume V of the cabinet. - It will be appreciated that, advantageously, the transition from the state in which the
hood 22 may be rotated about the axis X-X to be introduced into the volume V of the cabinet to the state in which it is stable and connected to theside walls cabinet 3 may be also obtained by the action of a single user. - The user shall simply engage the first engagement means 23 (i.e. the pin) with the
seat 30 of thehousing frame 4 and, once they are engaged, thehood 2 may be rotated upwards about the axis X-X, as shown by arrow S inFigure 6 . - Once the
hood 2 is rotated by the user, the second engagement means 24 will elastically deform to engage, particularly by their pawl 23', theseat 31 of thehousing frame 4. - It will be appreciated that the
side walls hood 2 are appropriately formed to create a form-fit with the respective side and bottom walls of thesupport elements Figure 2 . - These specific conformations of the
side 27 and bottom 26 walls of thesupport elements hood 2, and avoid undesired vibration during operation thereof. - Particularly, as shown in this
Figure 2 , theside wall hood 2 has a series of stepped bands, and theside 27 and bottom 26 walls of thesupport elements side walls - As shown in the accompanying figures, the fixed
portion 16 of thehinge 15 is at least partially received in the volume V' of the support element 20 (or 21). - This arrangement can advantageously maintain the classic position of the
hinge 15, and avoids the use of a hood with a smaller extraction surface and/or the use of an upwardly pivoting front panel of the cabinet, which would require more complex and expensive hinges as compared to those as shown in the accompanying figures. - It shall be noted that, in the embodiment as shown in the accompanying figures, one support element, e.g. the one referenced 20, receives the fixed
portion 16 of thehinge 15 in its volume V', and the other, i.e. the one referenced 21, has a closing cap 32 (Figure 2 ). - Nevertheless, if the
front panel 1 of thecabinet 3 is a double-door panel, then theother support element 21 will receive the corresponding fixed portion of the hinge. - Obviously, if the
front panel 14 of thecabinet 3 is designed to be opened rightwards (as viewed by a user standing before the assembly 1) instead of being opened leftwards (still as viewed by the user standing before the assembly 1), then thesupport element 21 would be ready to receive the fixedportion 16 of thehinge 15 in its volume V'. - Advantageously, in order to ensure maintenance and/or adjustment of the fixed
portion 16 of thehinge 15, e.g. to adjust the distance of thefront panel 14 of thecabinet 3 relative to thevertical panel 11, thesupport element 20, also referring toFigure 6 , comprises afirst window 33 in theside wall 27, through which the fixedportion 16 of thehinge 15 may be accessed by the user. - The fixed
portion 16 is known to house an adjustment dowel, through which themovable portion 17 of thehinge 15 may be moved away or closer to the fixedportion 16. - In order to receive the fixed
portion 16 of thehinge 15 in the volume V' of thesupport element 20,such support element 20 comprises asecond window 34 within thefront surface 28 of the support element. Particularly, thesecond window 34 has an arc shape, so that the fixedportion 16 of thehinge 15 may have thesupport element 20 lying astride or wrapped around it during installation of thesupport elements Figure 4 . - Advantageously, in order to afford maintenance and/or adjustment of the fixed
portion 16 of thehinge 15 without having to move thehood 2 from the first operating state (Figure 1 ) to the second operating state (Figure 6 ) by pressing theboss 24", thehood 2, also referring toFigure 7 , is designed to have aslit 35 formed in thetop wall 5 of the hood. - Particularly, the
slit 35 at least partially extends between the twoside walls hood 2 in a direction of extension X'-X' perpendicular to the preset vertical direction of extension Y-Y. - In the preferred embodiment, the
slit 35 extends all along the distance between the twoside walls hood 2. - In one aspect, in order to carry out the aforementioned operations, the
slit 35 is designed to face thefirst window 33 in theside surface 27 of eachsupport element - It shall be noted that these adjustment and/or maintenance operations are usually carried out using suitable tools, such as a screw driver. Therefore, the
slit 35 must be formed in such a manner as to be able to receive such tools, i.e. with sufficient depth and width to receive and move such tools. - In the embodiment as shown in the figures, the
slit 35 has an inverted U profile. - Referring now to
Figure 8 , it shall be noted that acover panel 36 is provided to prevent dust or food residues from building up in theslit 35, and has a pair of lips designed to mate with the edge of theslit 35. - Those skilled in the art will obviously appreciate that a number of changes and variants may be made to the arrangements as described hereinbefore to meet incidental and specific needs.
