Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a rim for a household appliance work top.
  • washing machines dish-washing machines, clothes, driers and small refrigerators, as well as all household appliances of about 85 cm in height are fitted with work tops.
  • the work top to be fitted inside the section grid structure and rim, the latter cannot be made in one piece but must have at least one side assembled after the work top has been fitted inside.
  • a drawback common to all existing systems is that a number of separate components are needed: the work top, the metal supporting structure and at least two rim sections, which not only increases material cost but also complicates the assembly procedure.
  • the aim of the present invention is to overcome these drawbacks by providing a one-piece, self-supporting rim for a household appliance work top which needs no additional supporting sections for the work top, but which in itself acts as a support and has no separate parts.
  • the present invention relates to a rim for a household appliance work top, characterized by the fact that it includes supporting means 2 placed inside its sides, forming a single body with the rim 1, for supporting said work top 6.
  • Fig. 1 shows a rim 1 press molded from ABS (acrylonitrile- butadiene-styrene) or other plastics with ribbing 2 to form an essentially radial structure.
  • the ribs 2 connect supporting sections 3 and 4, for securing rim 1 to the appliance body (not shown in the diagram), to three sides 5 of rim 1 so as to provide a compact overall structure.
  • the three sides 5 of rim 1 are rigid and bent upwards 90° in the form of an upside-down "L", as shown more clearly in section A-A of the top view, so as to enclose and secure a work top 6 which is inserted from a fourth side 7 which is also shaped like an upside-down "L". To prevent injury, the edges of sides 5 and 7 are rounded off.
  • the fourth side 7 of rim 1 is fitted to the said rim 1 by means of a hinge film 8 which can be folded down.
  • the longest side of side 7 has a number of rectangular openings 9 to which correspond a number of hooks 10 inside rim 1.
  • the fourth side 7 of rim 1 is open for inserting work top 6 between ribs 2 and the other three sides 5.
  • the fourth side 7 of rim 1 is folded up along hinge film 8 until hooks 10 engage with the rectangular openings 9 on it and the top section covers the exposed end of work top 6 so as to form a compact unit of rim 1, its four sides 5, 7 and work top 6.
  • the fourth side 7 of rim 1 may be assembled at the back of the appliance.
  • Work top 6 can be made of wood, metal or plastic.
  • a preferred arrangement consisted of 8 mm thick faced chipboard, consisting of a chipboard core faced on both sides with epoxy resin (e.g. melanin), or 3 mm thick laminated plastic, consisting of a compressed chipboard core with balance paper on the bottom and epoxy resin (e.g. melanin) on top.
  • epoxy resin e.g. melanin
  • 3 mm thick laminated plastic consisting of a compressed chipboard core with balance paper on the bottom and epoxy resin (e.g. melanin) on top.
  • ribs 2 of rim 1 must be stronger for laminated plastic than for faced chipboard in that 8 mm thick faced chipboard is stronger than 3 mm thick laminated plastic.
  • ribs 2 must be designed taking into account the type of work top fitted inside rim 1.
  • Fig. 2 shows the same parts and numbers as fig. 1 but with a grid type rib structure and a larger number of ribs than in fig. 1.
  • the grid arrangement and extra ribs 2 are more suitable for work tops with very poor mechanical strenght.
  • Fig. 3 in which parts common to figs 1 and 2 are indicated using the same numbers, differs in that all four sides 11 of rim 1 are secured to it by fold-down hinge films 12, that all four sides 11 have holes 13 at the top next to where work top 6 is inserted, and that rim 1 has no hooks 10.
  • screws can also be used for securing the fourth side 7 of rim 1 in the figs. 1 and 2 arrangements just as hooks can be used in the fig. 3 arrangement.
