Definitions

  • This invention is directed to household appliances and construction and assembly of these products.
  • the present disclosure is directed to stoves with assembly components to facilitate assembly of the stove.
  • stove parts are assembled and made using conventional fastening devices, such as screws or rivets, in addition to joint pieces, as illustrated in FIGS. 7A and 7B .
  • conventional fastening devices such as screws or rivets
  • Use of these conventional fastening members in stove assembly adds cost to the final product, as a result of not only screws, clinches and pieces that must be acquired for this purpose, but also the time and manpower employed in these assembly tasks.
  • assembly of the stove table with the side pieces typically requires using at least four screws or rivets, as shown in FIG. 7A , plus additional pieces to unite the parts. This additional labor, usually manual, requires further assembly time and effort and must be performed with reasonable accuracy.
  • the table is combined with the front finishing and the table is fastened on the sides of the chamber and its front part only overlapped to the finishing, which is fixed with screws in the chamber body.
  • This manner of assembly has disadvantages as the table is only overlapped to the finishing, and an alignment gap may occur.
  • table barbs may be exposed on the front part of the product potentially causing harm to users and others.
  • oven doors that may have two hinges and a handle along with two stamped pieces assembled opposing one another, plus corner finishing, these pieces are coupled together using at least four rivets. These rivets remain exposed and are subject to user interaction, are aesthetically unappealing and may pose as safety risk during operation.
  • PI 9600036 8A presents a conventional stove component assembly system detailing a fitting system of an intermediate table and lacks integral alignment protrusions and clamps.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 2,533,797 merely describes a stove component assembly system that utilizes later added pieces not formed as part of the stove components. Neither of these documents provides the innovative aspects of the present disclosure.
  • This disclosure is directed to household appliances including stoves with improved features and components for facilitating assembly.
  • assembly of the stoves may be expedited and made significantly more cost effective through reduced components and reduced time spent on assembly.
  • the stove components are outfitted with complimentary structures to facilitate alignment and coupling together.
  • These components may include coupling structures including integral alignment protrusions and orifices which may be stamped or otherwise formed in the structural and other components of the stove.
  • the shapes, dimensions and arrangements simplify its fabrication and assembly and reduce or eliminate the need for conventional fasteners and tools for assembly processes such as assembly of the stove top with the sides, the table with the front finishing and the stove oven door.

  • FIG. 3B illustrative shows a detailed perspective view of the integral alignment protrusion ( 1 ), located in the stove table ( 3 ), and of the corresponding orifice ( 2 ), placed in the stove side ( 4 ).
  • FIGS. 4A-4F illustratively depicts the stages fitting the table ( 3 ) with the stove side ( 4 ).
  • FIG. 4A illustratively depicts a side view of the table ( 3 ) and of the stove side ( 4 ) prior to the fitting
  • FIG. 4B shows an illustrative cut-way view of the stove components taken along the line B-B of FIG. 4A
  • FIG. 4C illustrative shows a side view of the table ( 3 ) fitted to the stove side ( 4 ).
  • FIG. 4E provides a further enlarged detailed view illustrating the integral alignment protrusion ( 1 ) at an engaged or coupled position.
  • FIG. 4D depicts an illustrative cut-way view taken along the same line B-B in FIG. 4A of the stove components in an engaged or coupled position pieces.
