Definitions

the present invention relates to an electric household appliance featuring a device for fixing an outer panel to the appliance casing.
the present invention relates to an electric household appliance, such as a washing machine and/or drier, featuring a device for hinging a panel, e.g. a cabinet door, to a wall of the appliance; to which the following description refers purely by way of example.
a washing machine and/or drier featuring a device for hinging a panel, e.g. a cabinet door, to a wall of the appliance; to which the following description refers purely by way of example.
some cabinets comprise a compartment in which to house a "recessed” electric household appliance; and an outer panel, e.g. a door, which fixes onto the front wall of the appliance to conceal it.
appliances for this purpose, some types of appliances, in particular last-generation washing machines, are designed to simplify assembly of the outer panel to the front wall of the machine.
the Figure 1 example shows a washing machine 1 housed inside a compartment of a kitchen cabinet 2, beneath the worktop 3 of cabinet 2, and resting on the floor on feet 4.
Washing machine 1 comprises a fastening device 5 for fixing an outer panel 6 to the front wall 7 of the casing 8 of machine 1.
Fastening device 5 substantially comprises two hinges 9, each comprising two plates or brackets 10 hinged to each other to rotate about a vertical axis, and fixed to outer panel 6 and to the side of front wall 7 respectively; and front wall 7 of machine 1 has two pairs of through holes 12 for screws 14, by which to fix brackets 10 to casing 8 of machine 1.
one pair of holes 12 is formed in the bottom corner of front wall 7 of casing 8, and the other pair of holes 12 in an intermediate part of the front wall, beneath the control panel 15 of machine 1.
the fastening device 5 described above has several drawbacks.
hinges 9 This location of hinges 9 is designed to permit fast assembly of the door to any standard-type cabinet, but is totally unsuitable for assembling the door to a front wall of a washing machine, in which case, the through holes in the machine are out of line with the top hinge.
the top hinge 9 To fix a "standard" door to the front wall of a washing machine using the fastening device described above, the top hinge 9 must therefore be lowered to align it with the top holes 12 in machine 1. Apart from the inconvenience involved, this also increases the time taken to fit panel 6 to machine 1, and therefore the cost of installing the machine.
the fastening device described above also adapts poorly to adjustments to the vertical position of the outer panel with respect to the front wall of the machine, as required, for example, when the top wall of machine 1 falls short of and forms an unsightly gap with the underside surface of the worktop. At present, the gap is closed by increasing the height of the feet of the machine. So doing, however, increases the height of the machine's gravity centre with respect to the supporting surface of the machine, thus aggravating walking and/or the noise level of the machine when it is running.
an electric household appliance featuring a device for fixing an outer panel to a wall of the appliance, and as claimed in Claim 1 and preferably, though not necessarily, in any one of the Claims depending directly or indirectly on Claim 1.
Number 20 in Figure 2 indicates as a whole an electric household appliance comprising a casing 21; and a fastening device 22 for hinging an outer panel 23, e.g. a door of a cabinet 23a, to an outer wall 24 of casing 21, so as to permit rotation of panel 23 about a hinge axis A, and, at the same time, adjustment, in a direction D parallel to hinge axis A, to the fastening position of panel 23 to wall 24.
electric household appliance 20 is a home washing machine or combination washing machine-drier, which comprises a wash assembly (not shown) connected to casing 21 and in turn comprising a laundry drum (not shown) mounted to rotate freely inside casing 21, and directly facing a laundry loading/unloading opening 24a formed in front wall 24 of casing 21.
a wash assembly (not shown) connected to casing 21 and in turn comprising a laundry drum (not shown) mounted to rotate freely inside casing 21, and directly facing a laundry loading/unloading opening 24a formed in front wall 24 of casing 21.
Appliance 20 also comprises a substantially rectangular control panel 18 having a number of control buttons 18a, and located, in the Figure 2 example, on the exposed top portion, i.e. along the top edge, of front wall 24 of appliance 20.
Appliance 20 also comprises a pull-out detergent dispenser 19, which pulls out of casing 21 and is located in the exposed top portion of front wall 24, alongside control panel 18.
Control panel 18 and dispenser 19 are known and therefore not described in detail.
Fastening device 22 comprises at least two hinges 25, each of which comprises two fastening plates 27, 26 hinged to each other to rotate about hinge axis A, and fixed by screws 28 to panel 23 and wall 24 respectively.
fastening device 22 also comprises an adjusting plate 29, which may be fixed to or integrated in one side of casing 21, and is connected to fastening plate 26 of hinge 25 to permit axial adjustment of hinge 25, and therefore of the position of panel 23, in direction D parallel to hinge axis A.
each adjusting plate 29 has a slot 30 elongated parallel to hinge axis A to receive the shanks of screws 28 of fastening plate 26; and fastening device 22 comprises a plate 31, which is mounted to slide on an inner guide (not shown) facing slot 30 and the inner face of adjusting plate 29, on the opposite side to fastening plate 26, and engages screws 28 to grip adjusting plate 29, by means of screws 28 and together with fastening plate 26, and so axially lock hinge 25.
adjusting plate 29 of top hinge 25 is fixed firmly by screw fasteners 33 to a top corner of wall 24, alongside control panel 18 and/or dispenser 19, and adjusting plate 29 of bottom hinge 25 is fixed firmly by screw fasteners 33, or any other similar fastener, to a bottom corner of wall 24.
slot 30 may conveniently be formed in wall 24 of machine 20 to receive screws 28 connecting fastening plate 26 to sliding plate 31.
fastening plates 27 and 26 of each hinge 25 are fixed to panel 23 and to plate 31 of fastening device 22 respectively.
the vertical position of panel 23 can be adjusted by the fitter sliding hinges 25 and respective plates 31 along slots 30 in adjusting direction D.
the fitter tightens down fastening plates 26 of hinges 25 using screws 28.
fastening device 22 as described also has the advantage of requiring no realignment of preassembled standard-panel hinges, and at the same time permitting vertical adjustment of the panel.
the Figure 4 embodiment relates to an electric household appliance 40 similar to appliance 20, and the component parts of which are indicated, where possible, using the same reference numbers as for the corresponding parts of appliance 20.
Appliance 40 corresponds to a home washing machine or combination washing machine-drier featuring a fastening device 41 for fixing an outer panel 23, e.g. a door, to an outer wall 24 of the casing 21, so as to permit rotation of panel 23 about a hinge axis A, and, at the same time, adjustment, in a direction D parallel to hinge axis A, to the fastening position of panel 23 to wall 24.
a fastening device 41 for fixing an outer panel 23, e.g. a door, to an outer wall 24 of the casing 21, so as to permit rotation of panel 23 about a hinge axis A, and, at the same time, adjustment, in a direction D parallel to hinge axis A, to the fastening position of panel 23 to wall 24.
the top hinge 25 of fastening device 41 is fixed to the top wall 42 of machine 40 by a spacer 43, the thickness S of which corresponds to the required vertical displacement of panel 23 with respect to a predetermined work position, in which the top edge of panel 23 is substantially aligned with and parallel to the plane of the top wall 42 of machine 40.
spacer 43 is substantially parallelepiped-shaped, is substantially as long as the width of machine 40, and is fixed firmly to top wall 42 by fastening members such as screws 44.
spacer 43 is fixed firmly and substantially horizontally to the front side of top wall 42, with the exposed lateral face of the spacer substantially coplanar with front wall 24 of machine 40.
the top hinge 25 of fastening device 41 connects a top lateral portion of panel 23 to spacer 43, and the bottom hinge 25 connects a bottom lateral portion of panel 23 to front wall 24 of machine 40.
top hinge 25 substantially comprises two fastening plates 27 and 26 hinged to each other to rotate with respect to each other about hinge axis A, and fixed to the inner face of panel 23 and to the top face of spacer 43 respectively.
fastening plate 26 is substantially rectangular, is fixed firmly to the top face of spacer 43 by screws (not shown), and has, on its free end, a pin (not shown) extending downwards coaxially with axis A, and engaging a seat (not shown) formed in the top end of fastening plate 27.
the bottom hinge 25 comprises two brackets 35 and 36 hinged to each other to rotate with respect to each other about a hinge axis A, and fixed to the inner face of panel 23 and to front wall 24 of machine 40 respectively.
bracket 35 comprises a preferably, though not necessarily, substantially L-shaped metal plate, and has a major portion fixed firmly by screws (not shown) to the inner face of panel 23, and, at the free end of the minor portion, a seat (not shown) for receiving a connecting pin (not shown) on the free end of bracket 36.
bracket 36 comprises a preferably, though not necessarily, substantially L-shaped metal plate having a major portion fixed firmly to front wall 24 by screws 50, and a minor portion having the connecting pin (not shown) on the end.
screws 50 screw inside respective holes (not shown) formed in front wall 24, and the respective shanks fit through slots 52 formed in the major portion of bracket 36.
the vertical position of panel 23 is adjusted by fitting the top wall of machine 40 with a spacer 43 of a thickness S equal to the required vertical displacement of panel 23, and connecting top hinge 25 to spacer 43, and bottom hinge 25 to front wall 24.
slots 52 in bracket 36 permit vertical movement of bracket 36 with respect to the holes in wall 24, before screws 50 are tightened down.
the bottom hinge 25 of fastening device 41 may be fixed to front wall 24 of the machine using adjusting plate 29 and plate 31, as in the Figure 1-3 embodiment described above.
fastening devices 22 and 41 described may also be used to fix a panel 23 to electric household appliances other than washing machine 20 or 40, i.e. refrigerators, ovens, or other similar "recessed" appliances.
