Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a fume extractor hood.
  • this hood is preferably but without limitation designed to extract cooking fumes from food.
  • a hood of this type suitably finds application in kitchens of canteens, restaurants, hotels, private homes and other places, as defined in the preamble of claim 1.
  • the hood of the present invention is of the type designed to at least partially fit in a receptacle formed in a ceiling.
  • This ceiling has an outer surface that faces the room occupied by users, e.g. the kitchen.
  • the ceiling further has an inner surface, hidden from view of hood users, and at least partially defines the aforementioned receptacle.
  • the inner surface is opposite to the outer surface.
  • Cooking fume extractor hoods that can at least partially fit in a receptacle formed in a ceiling are known in the art, also as ceiling hoods.
  • Prior art hoods generally comprise a frame that partially defines a suction duct. This frame also defines a suction opening, through which cooking fumes are drawn into the suction duct, filtered and exhausted.
  • the frame has at least one pair of opposite sides. If the opening has a rectangular shape, then the frame comprises two pairs of opposite sides. A first pair of opposite sides is defined by the two long sides of the frame, and a second pair is defined by the two short sides.
  • prior art hoods the frame is designed to at least partially fit in the receptacle.
  • prior art hoods comprise spring-actuated lock members at the long sides of the frame.
  • prior art hoods comprise two lock members at each side.
  • each of the lock members comprises a lug that is designed to retract into a perimeter of the frame and allow the frame to fit into the receptacle. Once the frame has been positioned, the lug is deployed to rest on the inner wall of the receptacle. Then the frame is fastened to the ceiling by means of screws EP 026 351 A1 , CN 203364221 U and EP 0 490 074 A1 disclose extractor hoods of the type that can be at least partially inserted into a seat formed in a ceiling.
  • the operator must use both hands to disengage the lugs, whereby the support of at least one more person is needed to hold the hood as it is being removed.
  • the technical purpose of the present invention is to provide a cooking fume extractor hood that can obviate the above-mentioned prior art drawbacks.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a fume extractor hood that can allow a single operator to remove the hood from the ceiling.
  • a cooking fume extractor hood according to one embodiment of the present invention is of the type designed to at least partially fit in a seat formed in a ceiling.
  • This ceiling has an outer surface and an inner surface opposite to the outer surface. The inner surface at least partially defines the seat.
  • the hood of the present invention comprises a frame that has at least one pair of opposite sides.
  • the frame is configured to at least partially fit in the seat.
  • the hood also comprises at least a locking element at one of the sides of the frame.
  • the locking element comprises a extendable portion adapted to alternate between a extended configuration and a retracted configuration. In the extended configuration, the extendable portion rests on the inner surface of the ceiling to hold the frame in the receptacle. In the retracted configuration, the extendable portion is pulled back into a perimeter of the frame, to allow the frame to be moved into and out of the seat.
  • the locking element comprises at least one elastic element associated with the extendable portion to bias the latter from the retracted configuration to the extended configuration.
  • the locking element comprises a gripping member connected to the extendable portion. This gripping member is placed in a position that allows access thereto when the frame fits in the seat. The gripping member is adapted to be actuated to pull the extendable portion from the extended configuration back to the retracted configuration.
  • the hood of the invention solves the aforementioned technical problem because the gripping member allows the extendable portion to be easily pulled back by the locking element, particularly using one hand. Thus, the operator can use the other hand to hold the hood and is therefore able to complete the disassembly process without the help of another person.
  • numeral 1 generally designates a fume extractor hood of the present invention.
  • the hood 1 is particularly of the type designed to at least partially fit in a seat 100 formed in a ceiling 101.
  • the ceiling 101 has an outer surface 101a and an inner surface 101b opposite to the outer surface 101a.
  • the seat 100 is at least partially defined by the inner surface 101b.
  • the outer surface 101a is the surface of the ceiling 101 that is exposed to the view of people underneath, regardless of whether the ceiling 101 is located indoors, within a building, or outdoors, such as in a porch.
  • the inner surface 101b is the surface that is generally hidden to people below the ceiling 101.
  • the term "ceiling” is intended to designate any surface defining the top of a room or environment. Therefore, this term also encompasses other architectural or furnishing elements such as false ceilings or furniture that possibly locally define the top of the environment in which they are located.
  • the hood 1 comprises a frame 2.
  • the frame 2 is designed to at least partially fit in the seat 100 formed in the ceiling 101.
  • the frame has at least one pair of opposite sides 3a, 3b. All the sides 3a, 3b of the frame 2 define an outer perimeter of the frame 2.
  • the frame 2 has a rectangular perimeter, and comprises two pairs of opposite sides 3a, 3b. A first pair of opposite sides 3a is defined by the two long sides 3a of the frame, and a second pair of sides 3b is defined by the two short sides 3b.
  • the frame 2 further comprises a base 4 which, in operation, is placed below and projects out of the ceiling 101.
  • the base 4 has an outer surface 4a that is designed to be visible by people underneath the hood 1.
  • the base 4 further has an inner surface 4b, opposite to the outer surface 4a which, in operation, is hidden to people underneath the hood 1.
  • the frame 2 has a suction opening 5 at the base 4, particularly at the outer surface 4a.
  • the opening 5 generally faces a cooktop (not shown), which is designed to draw in the fumes generated during operation of such cooktop to cook food.
  • the hood 1 further has a suction duct 6, through which the fumes extracted through the opening are channeled by the hood 1.
  • the frame 2 further at least partially defines the duct 6.
  • the duct 6 of the hood 1 may extend in a substantially vertical direction.
  • the frame 2 has at least one housing 7, 8 for a filter (not shown).
  • the hood 1 generally comprises at least one first housing 7 for a grease filter and at least one second housing 8 for an odor filter. Since the fumes extracted through the opening 5 are channeled through the housings 7, 8 to be filtered, these housings 7, 8 are deemed to be part of the suction duct 6.
  • the hood 1 comprises a covering element 16 which is associated with the suction opening 5 to at least partially close it.
  • the covering element 16 may be embodied by a panel 17 that partially lies on the opening 5. This panel is spaced apart from the frame 2, to thereby leave one or more free peripheral slits 18, allowing fume extraction and minimizing the aesthetic impact of the hood 1.
  • the hood 1 comprises at least one locking element 9, which has the purpose to hold the frame 2 in the seat 100 of the ceiling 101, by particularly resting on the aforementioned inner surface 101b.
  • This locking element 9 is placed at one of the aforementioned sides 3a, 3b of the frame 2.
  • the hood 1 comprises a plurality of such locking element 9, which are placed on two opposite sides 3a, 3b of the frame 2.
  • the hood 1 comprises four locking elements 9, evenly arranged on the long sides 3a of the frame 2.
  • each locking element 9 comprises a support 12 attached to the frame 2.
  • This support 12 extends away from the inner surface 4b of the base 4, substantially at the side 3a, 3b of the frame 2 on which the respective locking element 9 is mounted. It shall be noted that the support 12 is located entirely inside the outer perimeter of the frame 2.
  • each locking element 9 comprises a extendable portion 10.
  • Such extendable portion 10 is designed to alternate between an extended configuration and a retracted configuration.
  • the extendable portion 10 rests on the inner surface 101b of the seat 100, to thereby hold the frame 2 in the seat 100.
  • the extendable portion 10 is pulled back into the outer perimeter of the frame 2. In this configuration, the frame 2 may be moved into and/or out of the seat 100.
  • the extendable portion 10 is embodied by a lug 13 that is pivotally connected to the support 12, particularly at one end 12a opposite to the inner surface 4b of the base 4.
  • the lug 13 has first 13a and second 13b opposite ends.
  • the first end 13a of the lug 13 is pivotally connected to the support 12, to thereby pivot relative to a hinge axis "A" that is parallel to the side 3a, 3b of the frame on which the respective locking element 9 is mounted.
  • the second end 13b is designed to contact the inner surface 101b of the ceiling 101.
  • the lug 13 is pivoted relative to the support 12 to extend partially beyond the outer perimeter of the frame 2. This allows the second end 13b of the lug 13 to rest on the aforementioned inner surface 101b of the ceiling 101.
  • the lug 13 is moved toward the support 12 by pivoting relative to the hinge axis "A".
  • the lug 13 entirely fits into the perimeter of the frame 2.
  • the locking element 9 comprises at least one elastic element 11 associated with the extendable portion 10 to bias the latter from the retracted configuration to the extended configuration.
  • the elastic element 11 is embodied by a torsion spring 14 disposed between the lug 13 and the support 12, particularly at the hinge axis "A".
  • the locking element 9 comprises a gripping member 15.
