Definitions

• the invention relates to a household appliance having at least one first housing part, which has a latching means and at least one second housing part having a counter-latching means, which latching and counter-latching means are provided for connecting the housing parts and which is associated with a blocking element, through which Locking means is secured in a locking position of the locking element against loosening of the counter-locking means.
• a locking device for fixing a first body which is hineinsteckbar in a second body, wherein a first wall of the first body extends substantially at right angles to a second wall of the second body, with a A latching projection which is arranged on an inner side of the first wall enclosed by the second body and which can be pushed into a latching opening by a force exerted by a connecting means connected to the first body.
• a disadvantage of the locking device of the prior art, however, is that the assembly and disassembly of the locking device is expensive.
• the object of the invention is to make a generic locking device easier to assemble and disassemble.
• this object is achieved in that the blocking element has a first, at one of the housing parts supporting end and a second latching in the locking position on the latching means end.
• the blocking element can be solved in a simple manner. A mounting and dismounting of the housing parts is thus faster and easier possible.
• the blocking element is secured to the housing part such that it is movable from a release position into the locking position, preferably pivotable.
• the locking element can be quickly and easily swung back and forth between a release position and a locking position.
• the blocking element should occupy a tension-free position in the release position. This means that the blocking element in the pivoted position, that is, in the locked position bears against the latching means under tension, which exerts an additional holding force on the latching means.
• the blocking element is preferably held elastically biased in the locking position on the locking means.
• the second end of the locking element can engage in the locking position in a locking groove or a locking projection on the locking means.
• the latching groove or the latching projection opposite the counter-latching means on the latching means be provided.
• the latching projection may, for example, be formed roof-shaped, the upper end of a locking tongue designed as a locking element across.
• a trained as a locking groove counterpart for the locking element may for example also be a notch in a side wall of the locking means, in which the upper end of the locking means clamps.
• the locking element is formed as a formed on the housing part spring tongue, which is bendable from a relaxed, substantially parallel to the locking means extending release position in an elastically tensioned locking position.
• the latching means may be formed as a molded on the first housing part, resilient latching hook which engages in the formed as a latching recess or latching projection counter-latching means on the second housing part.
• the locking means may also be formed as a formed on the first housing part latching recess or locking projection into which engages a designed as a resilient latch hook counter-locking means of the second housing part.
• a first wall opening which is arranged on a side facing away from the latching means of the locking element and via which a tool for pivoting the blocking element in the locked position inserted is.
• a tool such as a flat-head screwdriver einschreibbar.
• An additional advantage is in a molding of the locking element on the first housing part in that no additional separate locking elements are present. This simplifies the assembly, since no separate locking elements are to handle. Due to the reduced variety of parts and the production is generally cheaper possible. Another advantage is that the locking elements are captively connected to the first housing part.
• a second wall opening is provided on the housing part carrying the locking element, which is arranged extending between the latching means and the blocking element via which a tool for pivoting the blocking element in the release position can be inserted.
• the second wall opening is between the locking means and the Locking element arranged.
• a tool such as a flat-head screwdriver is inserted.
• a third wall opening is provided on the latching means carrying housing part, which is arranged on a side facing away from the locking element side of the latching means via which a tool for unlocking the latching means of the counter-latching means can be inserted ,
• the third wall opening is arranged on a side facing away from the locking element side of the locking means.
• a tool such as a flat-head screwdriver is inserted.
• the locking means By pivoting the slotted screwdriver, or by pivoting the blade counterclockwise to the left, the locking means is pivoted away from its latched with the counter-locking means position of the counter-locking means and released from it, so that the first housing part is separated from the second housing part. So a non-destructive disassembly of the housing parts is possible.
