Abstract
Description
- The present invention refers to a household apparatus, in particular to a free standing gas oven and, respectively, in a built-in gas oven comprising a body with a cooking surface and an oven, at least one gas burner being disposed on said cooking surface, said gas burner being fed by gas via a supply line comprising a main gas supply pipe with at least one gas blocking device, wherein said main gas supply pipe is fixed by means of at least one fixing means to the body of the household apparatus.
- Known household apparatuses such as free standing gas ovens and, respectively, built-in gas ovens have said supply line fixed via a main gas supply pipe to the front wall of the oven and, to a fold at the upper edge of said wall. Generally, said wall of the oven is made of a thin metal sheet, thus, exposed to deformations due to variations of mechanical properties of the material and due to the enamel process. In addition, the distance between the point of the fixture of the main gas supply line and the stem of the gas valve is relatively large which may cause additional dimensional discrepancies.
- Also are known household apparatuses of the aforementioned kind, wherein the main gas supply pipe is fixed by means of a special carrier directly to a flanged cut-out on a front wall of the household apparatus which in turn is provided for placing electrical switches. Such an arrangement enables direct fixing of the main gas supply pipe, however, no additional intervention into said fixing or adaptation thereof is possible at the later time.
- It is the object of the present invention to create a household apparatus of the aforementioned kind in which gas pipeline attachment is reliable and repeatable obtained in order to remedy drawbacks of the know solutions.
- According to the present invention, the object as set above is solved by features set forth in the characterising part of

- A household apparatus and, in a particular embodiment, a free standing gas oven shown in
Fig. 1 comprises abody 1 with acooking surface 2 on which at least onegas burner 3 is disposed, a backing chamber closed by adoor 4, and afront plate 5 located above said backing chamber. Saidfront plate 5 is either a metal or a glass wall and comprises a control section with adisplay 6 and at least onecontrol button 7 to control gas supply. - In the region below said
cooking surface 2 is arranged asupply unit 8 to supply at least onegas burner 3 with gas, saidsupply unit 8 comprises a maingas supply pipe 9 with at least onegas blocking device 10 by means of which feedingburner 3 with gas is controlled. Generally, said maingas supply pipe 9 extends along saidfront plate 5 and in immediate vicinity of eachcontrol button 7. Eachburner 3 is fluidly coupled by means of a localgas supply pipe 11 with thegas blocking device 10. Saidgas blocking device 10 can be incorporated directly in the maingas supply pipe 9, or can be fluidly coupled with the latter and attached thereto indirectly by means of acarrier element 12. - Furthermore, said
supply unit 8 and, respectively, said maingas supply pipe 9 comprise at least onefixing means 13 provided for attaching thesupply unit 8 and, respectively, said maingas supply pipe 9 to saidfront plate 5 of the household apparatus. Said each fixing means 13 is preferably disposed on the maingas supply pipe 9 in the region of each end section of thefront plate 5. In order to secure thesupply unit 8 and, respectively, said maingas supply pipe 9 to thefront plate 5, the latter is provided at its side facing the interior of the household apparatus and opposite to thefixing means 13 with at least oneopposite fixing means 14 provided for cooperation with thefixing means 13. Said cooperation of the fixing means 13 and the opposite fixing means 14 is based either on a non-positive joint and/or on a form-locking joint. Moreover, said cooperation of the fixing means 13 and the opposite fixing means 14 can be provided either as a temporary joint or as a permanent joint. Preferably, saidfixing means 13 is linked with the maingas supply pipe 9 by means of a permanent joint, by adhesive, welding and similar, for example. Preferably, saidopposite fixing means 14 is linked with thefront plate 5 by means of a permanent joint, by adhesive, welding and similar, for example. - In the present embodiment, said
fixing means 13 is formed as an elongated flat support a first end thereof being non-movable connected to the maingas supply pipe 9, whereas its other end, that is the folded end configured for cooperation with theopposite fixing means 14, is formed with an elongated through hole 13' for receiving saidopposite fixing means 14. Said cooperation of the fixing means 13 and theopposite fixing means 14 is preferably provided on the basis of a threaded connection. Furthermore, said cooperation of the fixing means 13, 14 is preferably provided in the immediate vicinity of at least one throughhole 15 formed in thefront plate 5 and provided for a stem 10' of thegas blocking device 10 to pass through thefront plate 5. Said stem 10' is provided to accommodate saidcontrol button 7. - The shown present embodiment of said
opposite fixing means 14 comprises either a disc shaped or a polygonalshaped base 14a configured for a firm connection with thefront plate 5, and at least onestem 14b configured for cooperation with said through hole 13' formed at the folded end of thefixing means 13. Saidstem 14b comprises either an outer threadedsection 14c or an inner threadedsection 14d which extends through the through hole 13' and which meshes either with a fixing nut or a fixing bolt, when household apparatus assembled, thus rendering mutual connection of said fixing means 13, 14 more rigid. - Moreover, it is provided for according to the present invention that the
base 14a of theopposite fixing means 14 is formed at its side facing thefront plate 5 either with at least onedepression 16 and/or at least onebulge 17. Said at least onedepression 16 and/orbulge 17 is provided for a positive material joint with thefront plate 5, for example by means of adhesive, welding, soldering, and similar. - The
supply unit 8 and, respectively, said maingas supply pipe 9 having at least one fixing means 13 associated therewith, is fixed to thefront plate 5, which is provided in advance with at least one opposite fixing means and attached to the body of the household apparatus, in the following steps. - At first, said
supply unit 8 is placed together with said maingas supply pipe 9 onto the body of the household apparatus, so as to said at least one stem 10' of thegas blocking device 10 extends through said throughhole 15 in thefront plate 5. Afterwards, a gauge 18 (shown in dashed line inFig. 9 ) is put on said at least one stem 10' the outline thereof at least partially corresponds to the contour of thethrough hole 15.
