Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a mounting apparatus for use in mounting a home appliance, particularly of a range hood.
  • the present invention more particularly relates to a mounting apparatus designed to enable range hoods to be hanged and mounted to a desired position in a stationary assembly such as a cupboard or cabinet
  • the invention further relates to a novel range hood comprising the apparatus as mentioned hereinabove, method for producing the same and novel use of the apparatus for mounting home appliances in general.
  • range hoods are one of the most important appliances in the kitchen.
  • Said range hoods generally contain a mechanical fan that hangs above the stove or cooktop in the kitchen and they are configured to remove airborne grease, combustion products, fumes, smoke, heat, and steam from the air by evacuation of the air and filtration.
  • Range hoods usually require a complex installation operation. This can be hanging the range hoods onto a cooktop or fitting the range hoods into a cupboard or a cabinet on cooktop. Furthermore, the range hoods can be mounted below a cooktop to extract undesired air from the kitchen environment downwardly. Said type of range hoods requires also an opening inside the cooktop and hinging or fitting equipment to fix said range hoods inside the cooktop.
  • dimensions and structures of range hoods are standardized for mass production, dimensions and structures of cupboards or cabinets are not standardized compared to range hoods. In this case, manufacturers and installers face numerous challenges while both manufacturing and installing processes.
  • the problems with fitting or hanging the range hood to the cupboards or cabinets can present numerous challenges for manufacturers and installers of the range hood which makes them unpleasant
  • the most common difficulty which can be occurred during the installation of range hood is fitting the range hood to the particular dimensions and construction of the particular cupboard or cabinet Due to the weight and large dimensions of the range hood, handling the range hood into engagement with the cabinet and supporting the weight of range hood can be difficult.
  • the range hood must also be supported while the necessary mechanical and electrical connections are being made. In order to mount the range hood safely, at least two people are generally required to mount the range hood and make the necessary mechanical and electrical connections, and supporting the range hood during the mounting process.
  • Installers of the range hoods also have a problem with limited area of the cupboards or cabinets caused by their dimensions or shapes. Installers have to assemble and dismantle the range hoods even in poorly accessible areas and less mounting equipment
  • Apparatuses and methods for mounting a range hood in a cupboard or inside a cooktop in order to hide range hoods into cupboards or cabinets or save place in the kitchen are generally known in the art.
  • CN206036557 U discloses a mounting bracket of wall-hanging household electrical appliances.

  • the suspension device of the range hood includes a bracket, which is fixed on a wall under a use state of the suspension device, and at least one hook, which is used for hanging the body of the range hood.
  • the suspension device also includes at least one fastener, and the bracket comprises at least one corresponding bearing wall. Under the use state, the hook is fixed to the bearing wall through the fastener, and the height of the hook along the gravity direction is adjustable through the fastener. According to the invention, the height of the range hood body can be adjusted within a certain range, and the phenomenon of skew body installation can be corrected.
  • US 2014352151 A1 discloses a method for installing a ventilation hood to an underside of a wall cabinet including providing a ventilation hood having a housing, a removable utility structure with an aligning mechanism and at least one hanger stud.
