Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a household appliance wherein the height adjustment is performed by adjusting the feet thereof supporting the body thereof.
  • the feet that support the body are height adjustable.
  • the balance of the household appliance is provided by adjusting the height of the feet.
  • the built-in household appliances are brought to a height accommodating with the cabin height after placing in a cabin, and the height adjustment of the household appliance is made by means of the feet. Reaching the rear feet is almost impossible after the built-in household appliance is placed in the cabin. Consequently, the movement of the rear foot is provided by the mechanisms controlled from the front side.
  • the height adjustment of the rear feet can be made by means of an adjustment rod extending backward from a point at the front of the household appliance that can be easily accessible by the user or the service personnel.
  • the height adjustment of the front feet can be made by rotating the foot around the axis thereof by means of a wrench. Under different conditions of utilization, reaching the front feet can also be problematic in the household appliance, for example if the household appliance is at a very low position then working with a wrench becomes difficult in the narrow gap between the base of the body and the floor and the household appliance body needs to be lifted up a little. In a built-in household appliance, since the upper side is also closed generally, lifting in situ is not possible either.
  • German Patent Document No DE4410554 the levelling members used in a built-in domestic appliance, particularly in a built-in refrigerator, are explained.
  • the levelling members compose of a rotatable rod, operable from the front side of the domestic appliance body and a worm - worm gear set actuated by the rod and the feet at the rear are adjusted from the front side of the domestic appliance.
  • EP1895040 discloses a household appliance in accordance with the preamble of Claim 1.
  • D1 does not disclose that the vertical member is pivotably mounted to the resting surface.
  • the aim of the present invention is the realization of a household appliance comprising a height adjustment mechanism that provides the height of the rear feet to be adjusted.
  • the household appliance realized in order to attain the aim of the present invention, explicated in the first claim and the respective claims thereof, comprises a height adjustment mechanism that provides the height of the rear feet to be adjusted.
  • the height adjustment mechanism comprises an adaptor shaft that transmits the movement of the worm gear to the vertical member on the foot which is attached to the body by screwing.
  • the cam on the worm gear and the groove on the adaptor shaft wherein the cam is seated provide the rotational motion around the axis to be transmitted.
  • the height adjustment mechanism comprises a recess at the upper side of the vertical member providing the connection between the adaptor shaft and the vertical member and an extension disposed at the end of the adaptor shaft that is seated into the recess.
  • the height adjustment mechanism comprises a biasing means that engages the adaptor shaft and the worm gear to each other.
  • the biasing means is mounted to two hooks, one situated on the adaptor shaft and one on the worm gear.
  • the height adjustment mechanism comprises a guide wherein the vertical member is borne.
  • the foot is produced from metal material and the adaptor shaft is produced from rigid plastic.
  • Figure 1 - is the perspective view of a household appliance.
  • Figure 2 - is the perspective view of a height adjustment mechanism and a foot in mounted position on the body.
  • Figure 3 - is the exploded view of a height adjustment mechanism and a foot.
  • Figure 4 - is the partial cross sectional view of a height adjustment mechanism and a foot in mounted position on the body.
  • Figure 5 - is the cross sectional view of a height adjustment mechanism and a foot in mounted position on the body.
  • the household appliance (1) of the present invention comprises a body (2), a housing (3) situated on the base of the body (2), a foot (4) mounted into the housing (3) and a height adjustment mechanism (5) that provides the height of the foot (4) to be adjusted.
  • the foot (4) comprises a resting surface (6) resting on the surface whereon the household appliance (1) is placed and a vertical member (7) that is pivotably mounted to the resting surface (6). Screw threads are provided on the outer surface of the vertical member (7) providing the vertical member (7) to be mounted to the housing (3) from below and the height thereof to be adjusted. The foot (4) is mounted to the housing (3) by being screwed by means of the screw threads on the vertical member (7).
  • the height adjustment mechanism (5) comprises,
  • the shaft (8) is rotated around the axis thereof by the user when the height of the rear feet (4) is desired to be adjusted.
  • the worm (9) that also rotates around the axis thereof together with the shaft (8) provides the worm gear (10) to rotate around the axis thereof.
  • the cam (14) at the inner surface of the channel (12) rotates the adaptor shaft (13) together with the worm gear (10) by means of the groove (15) wherein the cam (14) is seated.
  • the adaptor shaft (13) rotates the vertical member (7) around the axis thereof wherewith the adaptor shaft (13) is engaged.
  • the vertical member (7) rotates around the axis thereof in the housing (3) by means of the screw threads thereon.
  • the height adjustment mechanism (5) comprises a recess (16) situated at the upper surface of the vertical member (7) and an extension (17) disposed at the end of the adaptor shaft (13) that transmits the motion of the adaptor shaft (13) to the vertical member (7) by being seated in the recess (16).
  • the height adjustment mechanism (5) comprises a biasing means (18) that engages the adaptor shaft (13) and the worm gear (10) with each other.
  • the biasing means (18) with one end mounted to the worm gear (10) and the other end to the adaptor shaft (13), pulls the adaptor shaft (13) downwards and hence presses onward the vertical member (7).
  • the biasing means (18) also provides the extension (17) to be seated in the recess (16) while the adaptor shaft (13) presses downwards.
  • the height adjustment mechanism (5) comprises two hooks (19, 119), one disposed on the worm gear (10) and the other one on the adaptor shaft (13) whereto the ends of the biasing means (18) are attached.
  • the height adjustment mechanism (5) comprises a guide (20) disposed at the lower side of the casing (11), concentric with the channel (12) and wherein the vertical member (7) is disposed.
  • the casing (11) comprises an upper lid (21) and a lower lid (22) which are connected to each other by snap-fit method.
  • the foot (4) is produced from metal material and the adaptor shaft (13) from rigid plastic.
  • the height adjustment of the rear foot (4) can be made from a point at the front side of the body (2) by means of the height adjustment mechanism (5).
  • the height adjustment mechanism (5) provides the height of the household appliance (1) to be adjusted by rotating the vertical member (7), with screw threads on the outer surface thereof, around the axis thereof inside the housing (3) wherein the vertical member (7) is disposed.
  • the adaptor shaft (13) that transmits the motion of the worm gear (10) to the vertical member (7) functions like a screwdriver. Consequently, any kind of form does not need to be configured on the lateral surfaces of the vertical member (7) for transmitting motion from the height adjustment mechanism (5) to the foot (4). Accordingly, the production process of the foot (4) becomes easier.
