Abstract

For simplification of known column kits for the anti-tip security fixation of two superposed household machines 1 and 3, it is proposed that the kit contain four simple foot plates 6 in exchange for the standing feet, a device 7 to 10, 12 and 13 for securing the rear bottom edge of the machine 3 mounted on top against lifting off from the worktop 2 and an arrangement 11, 14 to 17 for securing the front bottom edge of the machine 3 mounted on top against movements in the direction of the front side of the machines. On the one hand, the housings of the superposed machines are thereby located so close one above the other that front and side panels for concealing the gap between the worktop 2 and the housing of the machine 3 mounted on top can thus be dispensed with, and on the other hand the kit is reduced to a minimum in terms of the parts required. The assembly of such a kit is thus simplified to such a degree that technically inexperienced people are able to carry out the assembly independently. <IMAGE>

Building kit to secure the connection of two overlapping household machines in the event of a crash

The invention starts from the construction of two overlapping house-5 belts for a safe tilt, in particular a washer-dryer column for tilting, of which the machine below has a work plate and the machine on top has four cover plates with screw-on base purposes.

10 Such a device is known from DE-A-3 827 790. Because of the weight ratios of these two machines and the higher vibrations, the washing machine is a regular machine underneath, while the drying machine is mounted on top of it. Thus, a relatively simply formed substrate is also provided for the overlay drying machine. In the known combination-15 kit, front side panels are required to cover the space between the dryer base and the washer work plate due to the feature of the kit. In addition, four Z-shaped corner pieces are required, which must be attached to the top of the worktop with a total of eight screws so that the support plates of the mounted clothes dryer bases can then be gripped from the top 20 with a fork. The high cost of parts, as well as the relatively high installation costs of setting up such a washer-dryer column, are detrimental to the manufacturer, to the consumer and also to the customer.

The invention is based on the task of reducing component wear in a single: Y: apparatus of the above type and therefore simplifies the operations required to install a washer-dryer column. At the same time, reducing the number of parts will also limit the customer's financial costs.

According to the invention, this task is solved such that the building set is known. • · ♦ to secure the rear bottom edge of the machine on the worktop ... 30 to protrude from the worktop and to the front bottom edge of the machine on the machine • · · ^ '·] / to prevent movement in the front of the machine. · · ·: For mounting the kit, is done by serially removing the laundry ”: the stands screwed to the bottom of the dryer, thereby securing the four single-tray brackets of the kit to the loosely threaded holes, and otherwise installing some parts to secure the back base. for the device and for the "" "·] attachment for the bottom edge, on each of the underlying worktops and on the vertical walls of the machine mounted thereon. This does not require the removal of the washing machine worktop and the tilting or even tipping of the drying machine to be placed on top.

In a particularly advantageous manner, the kit of the invention has been further developed so that each single-tray plate has a spindle with locking members which, instead of being screwed into the screws, are locked into the thread when the threaded holes in the base plate are inserted. As a result, each additional screwing event with single-tray support plates can be avoided. All you need to do is insert the support plates into the threaded holes on the bottom. The support elements of the Luki-10 ensure that the support plates stay in the threaded holes. After the machine is on the worktop, the support plates are fixed without hesitation.

Particularly simple installation is ensured by the further development of the construction kit according to the invention, in that the device for fixing the rear base edges comprises two angled holders with two pin screws with vertical pivot holes 15 and screw-rails on the work-plate branch, two coaxial screws. counter plate at the holders underneath the work plate, and four screws to secure the holders to the work plate with screws and two self-tapping screws to secure the pins to the rear wall of the mounted machine at the height of the screw holes.

20 Therefore, it is possible to mount the angular brackets near the rear edge of the worktop of the underlying machine on a part that protrudes from the frame of the underlying machine. The horizontal branch is then placed on the worktop and secured by means of two screws that pass through the holes previously drilled into the worktop, which screws into the respective screw plate, which acts as a · 25 counterpart on the underside of the worktop and a nut replacement. Two pins are fitted at the points of the upright angled holder on the rear wall of the • M * clothes dryer. They also have a coaxial * ··· screw hole through which a · · · * self-tapping screw penetrates the back wall of the clothes dryer. If the manufacturer has already taken into account the pylon installation of the clothes dryers 30 on the washing machines, then the location of the pins • · · *;] / can be tentatively selected so that the screws screwed into the rear wall . Building bracket bolts <· * to secure the pins. ' '. therefore operate at the same time without using the other parts of the building hatch to attach the rear wall '·' 35 to the dryer machine body.

A further advantageous embodiment of the kit according to the invention is obtained in that the assembly for attaching the front base edge includes a front corner piece r having at least two screw holes in each leg and at least two chipboard screws for securing the corner . After measuring the mounting position of the front corner piece, the corner piece can be attached directly to the worktop of the machine below by using two or three self-tapping screws. The drying machine is then placed with the service door 10 removed, thereby freeing the front of the frame in a future installation area, onto the work plate and screwing the upright angled branch onto the front of the frame via two self-tapping screws. The installed service door then covers the front corner.

In order to facilitate the attachment of the respective parts of the kit to the worktop, a preferred embodiment of the invention is provided with a worktop-sized template for marking the exact position of the screw holes for mounting the device and assembly on the worktop.

Another embodiment of the kit according to the invention could consist of providing the Model with two marking fields which, after anchoring the Model to the rear wall, mark the position of the screw holes on the machine for mounting the pins and after the Model anchoring the position of the screw holes on the front.

The assembly includes many of the details depicted on the right and below of the washer-dryer column in Figure 1. These are four single tray support plates 6, of which only one is shown, two pins 7 each provided with a screw 8, only one of which is shown here, as a device 5 for securing the rear edge two corner holders 9, of which only one is shown here, two a screw plate 10, only one of which is likewise shown here, and a front corner piece 11 as a device for securing the front bottom edge.

The angular holder 9 has two pin holes 12, of which the right pin hole is used for the right-behind pin on the worktop and the left pin hole for the holder mounted on the left rear. This pin hole engages the respective pin 7 on the rear wall of the clothes dryer 3 after the respective pin 7 has been installed. 10 screw holes. The screw plate 10 distributes the clamping forces of the screws over a large surface to the underside of the work plate.

In the example illustrated, the corner piece 11 mounted on the front of the worktop 2 includes three screw holes 20 directly through the branch on the worktop, through which the chipboard screws 14 pass through. The upright leg 16 of the front corner piece 11 is located in front of the front face of the dryer machine body 4 inside the body: behind the service hatch 5, which is later re-installed. The leg 16 is secured to the front side of the run-25 gon 4 by means of threading screws 17 or tin screws.

·: · The single tray support plates 6 are illustrated in more detail in Figures 2 and 3. The joystick has a spindle 18 which is fitted to the inside diameter of the threaded hole fitted to the bottom plate of the clothes dryer. In the example illustrated, the base plate 19 of the laundry dryer 3 (shown by dotted lines) consists of only one bend 9 9 · 30 of the base plate extruded for screwing in the substrates. The retaining cam 20 fitted to the jacket surface of the pin 18 engages immediately behind the plate edge of this thread. A second retaining cam 21 extending from the base area of the pin 18 engages a portion (not shown) between the beginning, Λ, and the end of the threading. Thus, the single-tray support plate 6 is sufficiently secured and can be automatically removed from the threaded hole thanks to the flexible retaining cam 21. This simple attachment is sufficient to prevent the support plates from falling out during the installation process until the clothes dryer is placed on the washing plate.

The following describes in detail the steps to be taken to install the washer-dryer column. First, the washing machine must be pre-installed at a selected location and the work plate 2 adjusted to the horizontal position of the washing machine adjusting feet (not shown). Using the template not shown, mark the mounting holes for both rear brackets 9 and the front corner piece 11 on the work plate 2. For each of the holders 9, two through holes are drilled into the work plate. The holders 9 are fastened to the work plate using screws 13 10 and screw plate 10. The front corner piece 11 is secured using three chipboard screws 14 at the marked areas of the worktop.

The adjusting feet (not shown) are unscrewed from the bottom of the clothes dryer 3 and replaced with single tray support plates 6. The support plates 6 must then be locked into the threads of the base plate as previously described. The damper screws at the locations marked by the manufacturer on the rear wall of the clothes dryer 15 3 are removed and the pins 7 are attached to these points. The existing damper screws 8 can be reused for this purpose. Before placing the clothes dryer on the worktop 2, remove the service door 5. In this case, make sure that the dryer is first placed on the worktop with its rear support plates and pushed back until the pins 7 are inserted into the pins 12 of to the upright leg 16 of the corner piece by means of screws 17. Then service: · ν hatch 5 can be hung again on hinges and closed. The installation event is thus completed.
