Definitions

  • the joint between the appliances is covered by a profiled locking member having an inverted V-shaped longitudinally extending upper portion overlying the upper edges of the border strips and a vertical plate portion received between the border strips and having at its lower edge laterally projecting ribs which lock under the border strips to secure the locking member in place and lock the two appliances against vertical movement relative to one another.
  • the vertical plate portion has downwardly opening slots which accommodate the connecting bolts.
  • the present invention relates to a unit comprising two household devices.
  • the present invention has for its object an assembly of two household devices which are in the shape of parallelepipedal blocks and are removably assembled, comprising an edge projecting above each of the devices, the assembly being essentially characterized by at least two pins engaged by each extremity in opposing passages provided in the edges of each device, by at least two bolts removably connecting the devices by their lower facing parts, by at least one connecting rod for these devices removably engaged on the back surface of each device, by a covering section for the contacting parts at the edge of each device, and having a T-cross section whose horizontal wing effects the covering and whose vertical wing is engaged between said edges, said vertical wing having two nicks perpendicular to these pins of a width at least greater than the diameter of these pins and two ribs extending on either side of this wing and extending under the edges by engaging thereon when the devices are assembled.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view thereof.
  • FIG. 2 shows the two components of the fryer in disassembled position with their cover removed.
  • FIGS. 2a, 2b and 2c show elements used for assembling the units of the fryer.
  • FIG. 3 shows the assembly of a decorative strip.
  • FIG. 4 is a plan view of the fryer of FIG. 1 with the cover removed.
  • FIG. 5 is a back view.
  • the fryer shown in the drawing (FIG. 1) is obtained by coupling two frying units A and B (FIG. 2) by means of the elements shown in FIGS. 2a, 2b, 2c, 3, 4, and 5.
  • Each of these units has on its front surface a control panel for adjusting the intensity of the heat of the oil contained in vat 2, pilot lights permitting to observe the functioning of the units.
  • the units each have a pro- 3,517,977 Patented June 30, 1970 ice jecting edge 3 whose longitudinal elements are pierced by passages 4.
  • each unit, a are not vertical but are sli htly upwardly inclined towards the central axis of the unit, the upper edge ofthese surfaces leading to the foot of the corresponding part 'of edge 3.
  • each frying unit Under the control panel of each frying unit is positioned a door 6 leading to a housing permitting to place thei'in all kinds of objects.
  • the vertical wing of this profile 9 has two spaced slots 9a and 9b corresponding to openings 4 previously mentioried and of a diameter slightly greater than that of bolt 7; this core is moreover provided on its lower edge and on each of its surfaces by ribs 10a and 10b respectively.
  • This rib it at such a distance from the stripe-shaped wing 8 that upon engaging the profiled element of FIG. 2a between the units until the wing abuts on edge 3, ribs 10a and 10b will reach under the lower surface of each edge which prevents all vertical movement of one unit relative to the other when the units are positioned one against the other.
  • the fastening assembly comprises additionally a small bar 11 (FIGS. 4 and 5) which secures itself on the back of the units by means of butterfly screws 12.
  • the assembly according to the invention comprises a decorative strip 13 constituted by an iron member having a U-shape which engages by its wings on vertical mouldings 14 on each unit on either side of control panel 1 or door 6.
  • the maintenance of this strip is obtained by engaging its upper part under the front part of edge 3 and engaging it on its lower part by any suitable means not shown.
