Definitions
- the present invention relates to a door for a domestic appliance, in particular an oven door, having a front glass and a handle for opening and closing the door.
- Doors of the above-mentioned kind are already known in the art.
- the handles of such doors are normally attached to the door by means of screws or other fixing elements, what leads to a high number of components.
- the fixing elements need to be covered after the assembly in order to achieve a good appearance, so that a complex design is created.
- the present invention provides a door of the above-mentioned kind, which is characterized in that the handle is attached to the front glass by means of an adhesive without any additional fixing means. Accordingly, no screws or other fixing elements are needed, such that the number of components is low. This leads to a door of a simple design, which is easy to manufacture and to assemble.
- the handle comprises a base portion, whose rear side rests on the front glass, and a hand piece provided at the front side of the base portion, wherein the rear side of the base portion is provided with at least one pocket receiving the adhesive.
- a pocket ensures a defined gluing line and/or a defined adherend, whereby the assembly of the door is simplified.
- the pocket has a defined depth in order to define the quantity and/or the height of the adhesive layer needed for an orderly attachment of the handle.
- the pocket essentially extends along the entire width of the base portion, what leads to a uniform, strong and permanent fixation of the handle.
- the door is provided with at least one decoration element, in particular a decoration strip, which is made of a three dimensionally formed sheet-material, such as a sheet of rigid plastic material, stainless steel, aluminium or the like, and which is attached to the front glass.
- the decoration element functions as a facing giving the front side of the door a more three dimensional appearance.
- the decoration element can serve as a pro- tection against direct contact with the front glass.
- the handle and the decoration element preferably together define essentially a U-form framing the front glass.
- the at least one decoration element is attached to the front glass by means of at least one spacer, which bridges the space between the front glass and the decoration element.
- the at least one spacer is attached to the front glass by means of an adhesive.
- the at least one spacer can also be provided with at least one pocket receiving the adhesive.
- the at least one decoration element is preferably attached to the at least one spacer by means of an adhesive.
- the at least one spacer is made integral with the handle, wherein the handle and the spacers preferably together define a U-shape.
- a two-component adhesive and/or a double-sided adhesive tape can be used to name only a few possibilities.
- the present invention provides a domestic appliance, in particular an oven, comprising a door of the above-defined kind. Further features and advantages will become apparent on the basis of the following description of preferred embodiments of the door according to the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawing.
- Figure 1 is a front view of a front glass of a door accord- ing to a first embodiment of the present invention
- Figure 2 is a sectional view along the line II-II in figure
- Figure 4 is an enlarged front view of a handle attached
- Figure 5 is an enlarged view of the section V in figure 4 ;
- Figure 6 is a front view of a front glass of a door according to a second embodiment of the present invention;
- Figure 7 sectional view along the line VII-VII in fig ure 6 ;
- FIG. 8 rear view of the front glass shown in figures
- Figure 9 is a schematic back view of a handle attached the front glass, which illustrates the dimensions of an adhesive receiving pocket; and Figure 10 is an enlarged view of the section X in figure 9.
- FIGS 1 to 3 show a front glass 10 of a door according to a first embodiment of the present invention.
- the front glass 10 has a square form and comprises a front side 10a, a rear side 10b, a lower edge 10c, two side edges lOd and lOe as well as an upper edge lOf. Attached to the front side 10a of the front glass 10 are a handle 12 and two decoration elements 14 by means of an adhesive.
- the handle 12 which is shown in more detail in figures 4 and 5, extends along the upper edge lOf of the front glass 10 and comprises a base portion 18, which rests on the front side 10a of the front glass 10, and an essentially U-shaped hand piece 20, which projects from the base portion 18 and can be gripped by a user.
- the rear side of the base portion 18 is provided with a pocket 22 for receiving the adhesive necessary for gluing the handle 12 on the front glass 10.
- the pocket 22 has a defined depth and essentially extends over the whole width of the base portion 18 along the lower edge of the handle 12.
- the decoration elements 14 both have a rectangular shape and are made of a three dimensionally formed sheet-material.
- Each decoration element 14 defines a rectangular main surface 14a, which is spaced apart from the front side 10a of the front glass 10, as well as side edges 14b, c, d, e, which are chamfered towards the front side 10a of the front glass 10.
- the decoration elements 14 extend over the entire height of the front glass 10 along its side edges lOd and lOe, such that the handle 12 and the decoration elements 14 together define a U-form framing the front glass 10.
- spacers 24 are provided.
- the spacers 24 are glued to the front glass 10, and the decoration elements 14 are glued to the spacers 24.
- the height of the spacers 24 is chosen in such a manner that the side edges 14b, c, d, e of the decoration elements 14 rest on the front glass 10.
- FIGS. 6 to 10 show a front glass 40 of a door according to a second embodiment of the present invention.
- the front glass 40 has a square form and comprises a front side 40a, a back side 40b, a lower edge 40c, two side edges 40d and 40e as well as an upper edge 40f. Attached to the front side 40a of the front glass 40 are a handle 42 and two decoration elements 44 by means of an adhesive.
- the decoration elements 44 essentially correspond to the decoration elements 14 shown throughout figures 1 to 3, wherefore their structure is not explained in detail once more .
- the handle 42 extends along the upper edge 40f of the front glass 40 and comprises a horizontally extending base portion 48, which rests on the front side 40a of the front glass 40, and an essentially U-shaped hand piece 20, which projects from the base portion 48 and can be gripped by a user.
- integralally formed with the base portion 48 are two spacers 54, which downwardly project at the free ends of the base portion 48 to create an overall U-form framing the front glass 40.
- the rear sides of the base portion 48 and the spacers 54 of the handle 42 are provided with a pocket 52 for receiving the adhesive necessary for gluing the handle 42 or rather the spacers 54 on the front glass 40.
- the pocket 52 has a defined depth and essentially extends over the whole width of the base portion 48 along its lower edge as well as over the height of the spacers 54.
- the front side contour of the spacers 54 at least partially corresponds to the contour of the rear sides of the decoration elements 44, so that the decoration elements 44 can be easily glued on the spacers 54 in order to fix them at the front glass 40.
- the handle 42 with the integral spacers 54 is glued on the front side 40a of the front glass 10 at first. Thereafter, the decoration elements 44 can be glued on the spacers 54.
- an adhesive a two-component adhesive and/or a double- sided adhesive tape can be used to name only a few possibilities.
- the above described front glass designs are of advantage in that they have a simple structure with a low number of components. Accordingly, they are easy to produce and to assemble. During the assembly, the pockets 22 and 52 ensure a defined gluing line, so that a proper work result is guaranteed.
