Definitions

  • the present invention pertains to a dishwasher having an improved front panel which has enhanced visibility. More specifically, the present invention pertains to a dishwasher machine having an improved information display and operation control front panel which is capable of visually indicating operational status of the machine by itself and with the help of a handle.
  • Dishwasher machines generally have front doors openable around an axis parallel to the ground in the close vicinity thereof. Such doors allow access to the inner volume of the machine for putting dishes therein and are closed along an upper line where the door’s uppermost portion engages with the machine body.
  • Front faces of the dishwasher machines further comprise a control and information panel in the upper region of the front face directly above the closing line of the door, such an information panel typically enabling users set different operation modes and be informed of operation status in process.
  • the present invention provides an improved information display and operation control panel, which has a first group of indication means capable of conveying operational status information by means of LED back-lit transparent textual materials and a second group of indication means capable of conveying two sorts of information in a sequential manner. These sorts of information cover machine door handle lock status in non-operation state and operational status of the machine during washing.
  • the present invention provides an information display and operation control panel for a dishwasher enhancing visibility in a more intuitive way as defined in the characterized portion of Claim 1.
  • Primary object of the present invention is to provide a dishwasher having an information display and operation control panel which is passively more intuitive in revealing operational status of the dishwasher machine.
  • the present invention proposes a dishwasher for washing dishes with a front panel, the latter forming the upper portion of the front door of the appliance.
  • This panel has appropriate buttons and knobs with textual indications beside the same.
  • Said front panel comprises an inlay extending over the panel’s surface where textual indications are screen printed.
  • a handle is provided in the center for opening and closing said front door.
  • the handle has a first and a second illuminating means arranged at an inner surface of said handle.
  • These two illuminating means are different in that the first one is immediately behind the handle and directly on its inner surface where a handle cavity is provided for holding said handle and the other one is arranged above the first one at a more remote position.
  • These two illuminating means provided as linear strips of LEDs produce a distinct effect inside said handle cavity.
  • Said first illuminating means provide a more visible illumination that is also noticeable in daylight and electric light.
  • the remotely located second illumination means provides an indirect illumination only noticeable in relative darkness.
  • the textual indications on the front panel inlay according to the invention are not regularly printed with dark markings.
  • the text markings are not visible and as such are barely noticeable as long as they are not back-lit by appropriate light sources provided within said front panel.
  • Said first and second illuminating means of the invention provides information respectively in respect of open/closed state of the front door and actual status of washing program in process.
  • the two illuminating means are not powered at the same time as washing process is carried out only when closing of the front door is effected.
  • the present invention proposes a dishwasher for washing dishes comprising a front panel, having a display and control buttons and knobs for operating the appliance.
  • Fig. 1 demonstrates a general perspective view of a front panel of a dishwasher appliance according to the present invention.
  • Fig. 2 demonstrates a general perspective view of a front panel of a dishwasher appliance which is separated into two parts demonstrating lateral cross-sectional view of the handle according to the present invention.
  • the present invention proposes a dishwasher machine front panel as defined in Claim 1.
  • the present invention proposes a dishwasher for washing dishes comprising a front panel (1) for providing information display and operation control in respect of operation of said dishwasher.
  • Said front panel (1) comprises an inlay having at least one textual indication (4, 5) provided as a screen printed textual indication.
  • Screen printing technique also known as serigraphy, is widely used in such front panels on polycarbonate inlays and such inlays being mounted on front panels. Due to the fact that screen printed text material is prone to become indistinct in time, the present invention proposes back-lit markings such that textual indications (5) are screen printed at a substantially low darkness degree and back-lit by illuminating means provided immediately behind said inlay and neighboring said at least one textual indication (5).
  • Screen-printing applied at a substantially low darkness degree provides that no textual indication is visible as long as illuminating means behind are not energized. When back-lit, said indications (5) become visible and this eliminates problems associated with markings becoming barely perceptible over time.
  • Said front panel (1) further comprises a handle (3) having illuminating means (6) in the form of a first and a second illuminating means arranged at an inner surface of said handle (3).
  • Said first illuminating means is directly in contact with said inner surface of said handle (3) and said second illuminating means is not directly in contact with said inner surface of said handle (3).
  • said second illuminating means which is not directly attached to the inner surface and provided at an upper position within the handle cavity, i.e. at a position much higher than said handle’s (3) lower edge (7), produces a less visible visual effect.
  • said first illuminating means is indicative of open or closed status of door of said dishwasher and said second illuminating means is indicative of operational status of said dishwasher.
  • Said first illuminating means providing a more direct illumination is therefore advantageous as it can be more easily visible in case the room said dishwasher appliance is located is lit by electric light or daylight.
  • an indirect illuminating means would be sufficient as it is more probable that the room is not lit if it is not daytime.
  • said handle (3) can be at least partially transparent to light and as such a more pronounced effect can be obtained in direct and indirect illumination.
  • Said first and said second illuminating means are provided in the form of a linear strip extending parallel with said lower edge of said handle (3). Said first illuminating means is inactivated when said dishwasher is in operational state and said second illuminating means is inactivated when operational state of said dishwasher is terminated.
