Definitions
- the present invention relates to a household appliance comprising a knob that is safely mounted to the panel.
- Household appliances for example cooking devices, dishwashers and in particular washers/dryers, comprise a panel, a control unit and one or more than one knob that enable the functions thereof to be monitored and controlled by the user.
- the knobs are directly attached from the front of the panel to the shafts that are mechanically fastened to the switches on the control unit behind the panel by means of the housings on the panel or by means of an insert.
- the shafts that are connected to the knobs also move and the functions at predetermined positions depending on the user preferences, for example functions like in which program the laundries should be washed, at which rpm the spin-drying should be performed or at which temperature the wash water should be used, are enabled to be selected.
- the knobs are mounted on the shaft that is connected to the control unit behind the panel from the front side of the panel for ease of production.
- the knob is mounted on the panel by means of clawed structures, some tolerances are needed to be taken into consideration so that the shaft and the knob can be easily borne to each other.
- Program knobs are the primary components that the user control and touch while examining the appliance before making a decision whether to purchase the appliance or not. Therefore, the quality perception of the knob is desired to be improved.
- Metal knobs can be used to improve the perception of the user. Being heavier than the plastic knobs, the metal knobs improve the quality perception of the user, but also increase the production costs.
- the aim of the present invention is the realization of a household appliance comprising a knob with improved quality perception.
- the household appliance realized in order to attain the aim of the present invention, explicated in the first claim and the respective claims thereof, comprises a weight that increases the weight of the part of the knob remaining at the front side of the panel.
- the weight of the part of the knob preferably produced from plastic material on which the user applies force is increased, thus improving the quality perception.
- the resistance of the knob against external forces is also increased.
- the weight is mounted onto the knob so as to remain between the insert and the handle.
- the household appliance comprises a weight holder that enables the weight to remain fixed in the handle at the front side of the panel so as to remain between the insert and the handle.
- the weight is fixed into the handle by means of the weight holder in a stationary manner.
- the weight is enabled to be fixed into the knob while the weight is prevented from making noise while moving
- the insert and the weight holder are attached to each other so that the panel remains therebetween with locking protrusions and locking recesses engaging with each other.
- the abutment bears against the front surface of the panel.
- the weight of the plastic knob assembly is increased to a weight that gives the feeling of metal.
- the quality perception of the user is improved. Since the feeling of heaviness is provided by inserting a metal component into the knob assembly, three times more cost advantage is obtained with respect to a knob produced from metal.By means of the present invention, the strength of the knob under any load is increased and the quality perception is improved.
- Figure 1 – is the perspective view of the household appliance related to an embodiment of the present invention.
- Figure 2 — is the front general view of the panel related to an embodiment of the present invention.
- Figure 3 - is the exploded cross-sectional view of the panel, the control unit, the shaft, the insert, the weight holder, the weight and the handle related to an embodiment of the present invention.
- Figure 4 – is the exploded view of the insert, the weight holder, the weight and the handle related to another embodiment of the present invention.
- Figure 5 - is the cross-sectional view of the insert, the weight holder, the weight and the handle when attached to each other related to an embodiment of the present invention.
