Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a cooking hob with a design frame according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • An installation cooking hob is arranged within a cutout of a worktop, wherein said worktop is arranged on a cabinet of a kitchen.
  • the cooking hob is marginally smaller than the cutout of the worktop, so that there is a gap between the cooking hob and the cutout of the worktop.
  • Said gap is covered by a frame, which may have additionally supporting and designing functions.
  • the frame extends along the circumference of the cooking hob. Normally, the cooking hob is arranged at the same level as the worktop.
  • the cooking hob should be arranged at a level above or below the level of the worktop.
  • These constellations require a frame around the cooking hob, which is adapted to the difference between the levels of the cooking hob and the worktop. Further, the frame has to be adapted to other geometric relations of the cooking hob and the cutout of the worktop. The adaptation of the frame requires a special construction for each individual cooking hob. This increases the complexity and costs of the installed cooking hob.
  • EP 0 553 834 B1 discloses an arrangement for fastening a heating plate to an adjoining construction.
  • the arrangement comprises a holding frame for receiving the heating plate with sealing means.
  • the holding frame is designed as a profile part made of an elastically compressible material. Said profile part encloses the heating plate and fills the gap between the cutout an the heating plate. On its upper side said gap is covered by a sealing frame with a U-shaped profile.
  • EP 1 515 092 describes mounting means for fixing a cooking hob.
  • the mounting means comprise a spring element, a frame and an additional cover frame.
  • the frame and the cover frame are different elements and serve different purposes.
  • the frame is used to hold the cooking hob in the desired place and is made of an extruded aluminum profile.
  • the cover frame is used to cover a transition zone between the worktop and the cooking hob when the latter is in its mounting position.
  • the object of the present invention is achieved by the cooking hob with the frame according to claim 1.
  • the fastening element comprises a spring element in order to clamp the cooking hob within the cutout of the worktop, wherein the spring element has a U-shaped form and/or is a leaf-spring, and the top sides of the design frame, the top sheet and the worktop form substantially a continuous surface.
  • the main idea of the present invention is the use of the U-shaped spring element and/or the leaf-spring on the one hand and the flexible design frame enclosing the top sheet on the other hand.
  • the U-shaped spring element and/or the leaf-spring allow a low complexity.
  • the design frame allows an installation of the cooking hob at different levels in relation to the level of the worktop, so that the top sides of the design frame, the top sheet and the worktop form substantially a continuous surface.
  • the design frame is detachably or permanently attached at the top sheet of the cooking hob.
  • the design frame is attached at the top sheet by an adhesive bond, by a snap-on connection and/or by a screw joint.
  • the design frame may comprise two or more frame elements.
  • the frame element encloses at least one further frame element.
  • the frame elements are made of different materials.
  • the frame elements may be made of different materials in order to obtain the designated properties at each position of the design frame.
  • the design frame is a one-piece part.
  • the design frame comprises at least one sealing strip arranged at a bottom side of the design frame.
  • the design frame has also a sealing function.
  • the sealing strip is provided to be pressed between the design frame and a top side of the worktop.
  • the top sheet of the cooking hob may be a glass-ceramic panel.
  • the glass-ceramic panel may be arranged at different levels.
  • an upper portion of the fastening element is glued with the top sheet of the cooking hob. This allows a safe bonding with low costs.
  • the fastening element comprises a spring element in order to clamp the cooking hob within the cutout of the worktop. Since the fastening elements have the supporting functions, the design frame need not have any supporting functions.
  • the spring element has a U-shaped form and/or is formed as a leaf-spring.
  • the top sides of the design frame, the top sheet and the worktop form substantially a continuous surface
  • the design frame is provided for a cooking hob with such a fastening element, which comprises a spring element in order to clamp the cooking hob within the cutout of the worktop, wherein the spring element has a U-shaped form and/or the spring element is a leaf-spring.
  • the flexible design frame enclosing the top sheet allows an installation of the cooking hob at different levels in relation to the level of the worktop.
  • the design frame may be detachably or permanently attachable at the top sheet.
  • the design frame is attachable at the top sheet by an adhesive bond, by a snap-on connection and/or by a screw joint.
  • the design frame may comprise two or more frame elements.
  • the frame element encloses at least one further frame element.
  • the frame elements are made of different materials.
  • the frame elements may be made of different materials in order to obtain the designated properties at each position of the design frame.
  • the design frame is a one-piece part.

  • the top sheet 10 forms the upper part of the cooking hob.
  • the top sheet 10 is a glass-ceramic panel.
  • the casing forms the lower part of the cooking hob.
  • the casing is attached at the bottom side of the top sheet 10.
  • the casing has an open top side covered be the top sheet 10.
  • the top sheet 10 is broader than the casing. Inside of the casing there are heating elements and electric and electronic circuitries.
  • the top sheet 10 of the cooking hob is attached with a plurality of fastening elements 20 in the cutout 16 of the worktop 18.
  • FIG 1 shows one of said fastening elements 20.
  • the fastening elements 20 may be detachably or permanently attached at the outer portion of the cooking top 10.
  • the fastening element 20 includes a spring element 22 and an upper portion 24.
  • the spring element 22 forms the outer portion of the fastening element 20.
