Definitions
- the invention relates to a steering or lifting mechanism.
- the invention relates, particularly but not exclusively, to a steering or lifting mechanism suitable for use in appliances, for example, domestic appliances.
- the invention further relates to domestic appliances, particularly washing machines, incorporating the steering or lifting mechanism.
- EP 0,207,843 discloses a washing machine having a supporting base with retractable castors.
- the castors are mounted on a common axle that can be actuated by means of a lever.
- the axle is movable so as to cause the castors to drop from a retracted position in which the washing machine rests on its fixed feet on the floor, to a lowered position in which the castors contact the floor and the fixed feet are raised. In the lowered position, the consumer is able to move the machine either by pushing it from the rear or by pulling the front housing.
- This type of arrangement is limited to movement in a forward or backward direction which makes manoeuvring the machine troublesome.
- the invention provides a steering mechanism for an appliance comprising: a housing and a body, the body being connected to the housing so as to allow relative rotation therebetween about a vertical axis; at least one rolling support member mounted on a horizontal axle, the axle being mounted on the body and located so as to intersect the vertical axis; and a handle portion connected to the body and extending radially outwardly from the vertical axis.
- This arrangement provides improved manoeuvrability of the appliance.
- the mechanism allows the consumer to steer the appliance in a range of directions, including backward and forward.
- the axle is located so as to lie perpendicular to the radial direction in which the handle portion extends.
- This configuration enables the rolling support member to follow the direction in which the handle portion is being pulled.
- the handle portion extends in a horizontal direction. This arrangement allows the mechanism to be conveniently stored in the appliance.
- the handle portion has a gripping portion located at the distal end thereof and spaced from the body in the radial direction in which the handle portion extends. Provision of the gripping portion enables the consumer to hold the mechanism in a convenient manner.
- the invention provides a lifting mechanism for an appliance comprising: a generally cylindrical body having a wall and a longitudinal axis, the axis extending in an upward direction; at least one rolling support member rotatably mounted on an axle beneath the body; and a housing having a generally cylindrical socket portion with an inner surface for receiving the body, wherein the wall and the inner surface incorporate opposing camming surfaces such that, when the body is rotated about the axis with respect to the socket portion, the camming surfaces co-operate so as to move the housing axially with respect to the body and away from the at least one rolling support member.
- This arrangement provides an improved means for lifting the appliance from a stable position and into an elevated position ready for manoeuvring. Further, the arrangement is relatively simple and easy to construct making it an inexpensive feature to incorporate into the appliance.
- a peg is located on the housing and projects into the interior of the socket portion, along the axis. More preferably, the body has an aperture located at an upper end thereof for receiving the peg. Cooperation of the peg with the aperture ensures the correct alignment of the housing with the body.

- a hollow cylindrical peg 228 depends from the upper end face 226 about the axis 16.
- An outwardly projecting lip 230 is provided at a lower end 232 of the peg 228.
- the housing 6 When the mechanism 2 is assembled in a first position, the housing 6 receives the body 8 of the body portion 4.
- the peg 228 projects through the aperture 150 and the lip 230 cooperates with the lower edge of the aperture 150 in a snap-fitting manner.
- the camming surface 62 of the body 8 lies against the camming surface 210 of the socket portion 200 such that the abutment edge 58 lies against the abutment edge 214, the first flat portion 64 lies against the first flat portion 212, the inclined portion 66 lies against the inclined portion 216, and the second flat portion 68 lies against the second flat portion 218.
- the housing 6 is rigidly fixed to an appliance.
- Movement of the gripping portion 12 in the direction of arrow A from the first position causes relative rotation between the housing 6 and the body 8.
- the camming surface 62 moves across the camming surface 210 such that the inclined portion 66 causes the housing 6 to move axially with respect to the body 8.
- the body portion 4 moves through an angle of between 50° and 75°.
- the first flat portion 212 moves across the second flat portion 68 to allow further rotation of the body portion 4 about the axis 16 through an angle of substantially 45° to 70° with no further axial movement.
- Further movement in the direction of arrow A is prevented by the abutment of the stop face 70 against the shoulder 224 such that the stop 60 lodges in the shoulder 224.
- the mechanism 2 is in a second position. The mechanism 2 is prevented from rotating in the direction of arrow B from the first position by the abutment of the abutment edge 214 against the abutment edge 58.
- FIGs 10a to l ib illustrate the mechanism 2 located in an appliance 400.
- the appliance 400 as shown has a front surface 402, a base 404, feet 406 and castors 408.
- the feet 406 are mounted at opposing corners 410 adjacent the front surface 402.
- the feet 406 are moulded from rubber material.
- the feet 406 support the appliance 400 on the floor 414.
- the castors 408 are freely rotatably mounted at the rear 416 of the appliance 400 at opposing corners 418.
- the mechanism 2 In the first position as shown in Figures 10a and 10b, the mechanism 2 is inoperative.
- the appliance 400 stands stably on the floor 414 being supported both by the feet 406 and the castors 408.
- the housing 6 is fixedly mounted in the base 404 of the appliance 400 generally centrally of the front surface 402 thereof.
- the flange portion 202 is fixedly mounted on the base portion 404 by screws fitted through the holes 203 thereof.
- the handle portion 10 is parallel to the front surface 402. In this first position, the mechanism 2 is generally hidden from view, although a small part of the gripping portion 12 extends beyond the front surface 402 to indicate to the consumer where the mechanism 2 is located.
- the consumer pulls the gripping portion 12 outwardly from the front surface 402 thereby rotating the body portion 4 with respect to the housing 6 until the handle portion 10 lies generally perpendicular to the front surface 402.
- the consumer's action causes the rolling support member 20 to be pressed onto the floor 414 thereby lifting the feet 406 clear of the floor 414.
- the appliance 400 is tripodally supported by the rolling support member 20 and the castors 408. The consumer can then manoeuvre and steer the appliance 400 from this lifted position.
- the consumer is able to alter the angle at which the handle portion 10 extends away from the front surface 402 by substantially 25° to either side of the perpendicular direction. Because, in this range of angles, the first flat portion 212 moves across the second flat portion 68, the direction of the handle portion 10 can be altered without lowering the appliance 400 onto its feet 406.
- the axle 100 on which the rolling support member 20 is mounted is determined by the direction in which the handle portion 10 extends to provide a steering mechanism for the appliance 400.
- the rear castors 408 follow the direction of the steering mechanism. This configuration enables the consumer to manoeuvre the appliance 400 in directions other than, but including, forwards and backwards, also having the capability to reposition the appliance 400 should the need arise.
- the mechanism 2 is moulded from resilient plastics but could also be made from any other suitable material.
- the mechanism 2 can be used in a range of appliances particularly domestic appliances, for example washing machines.
- the invention is not limited to the precise details of the embodiment described above.
- the handle portion 10 could be a different shape; for example, it could be curved or arcuate while extending generally radially from the axis 16.
- the gripping portion 12 could form a natural extension of the handle portion 10 or, alternatively, it could be any suitable shape for gripping.
- the body 8 could have more than two sets of shapings 56; for example, three equispaced shapings 56 may be incorporated.
- the snap-fit mechanism holding the socket portion 200 and the body portion 4 together could incorporate means other than the peg 228 and aperture 150 assembly as described above.
- the flange portion 202 on the housing 6 can be made to suit the appliance 400 and can be fitted to the appliance 400 for example by any suitable means.
- the socket portion 200 could be non-circular in shape so as to slot into the appliance 400 in a push-fit manner.
- Other variations may include more than one rolling support member 20 mounted on the axle 100.
