[0001] The present invention relates to a household appliance comprising a door whereon a decorative panel is mounted.
[0002] Nowadays household appliances, particularly the doors of refrigerators are clad by glass, mirror etc. decorative panels for the purpose of giving an aesthetic appearance. However, various hardships are encountered particularly in mounting the control panels on glass panels, such that the necessity of performing the mechanical operations delicately on a material like glass increases the labor and unit costs.
[0003] In the state of the art International Patent Application no WO2007011178, the explanation is given for a display unit, which is mounted on a door comprising a decorative panel. In this embodiment, the display unit is secured temporarily at the rear of the glass panel by an adhesive and afterwards the glass panel is mounted on the door together with the display unit. The display unit is seated in a housing on the door.
[0004] In this embodiment, since the display unit is temporarily mounted on the glass panel, various mechanisms should be used for keeping the display unit stable in the housing. Moreover, the problem of keeping a precise distance between the glass panel and the control panel in touch screen panel applications is also confronted in this embodiment.
[0005] The aim of the present invention is the realization of a household appliance comprising a control panel that is easily mounted on a door having a glass panel thereon.
[0006] 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 frame secured on the glass panel by adhesion and a cover whereon the control panel is mounted and which is secured on the frame thereafter.
[0007] Accordingly, the frame and the cover provide the control panel to be kept between the glass panel and the door at a certain distance determined by the producer. This maintains the easy assembly of the touch screen control panels on the door. Moreover, since the control panel is secured on the glass panel by means of the frame and the cover, there is no need for using a fastening element or applying any mechanical operations on the door.
[0008] The cover, wherein the control panel is secured, can be mounted on the frame, which is adhered on the glass panel permanently, by tight fitting or snap fitting fastening methods.
[0009] The household appliance furthermore comprises two pins disposed oppositely on the opposite walls of the cover and two pin sockets situated oppositely on the opposite sides of the frame. The cover is mounted on the frame such that the pins are seated in the pin sockets. Thus, the cover is pivotably mounted on the frame to be openable and closable and providing maintenance service for the control panel mounted inside the cover becomes easy.
[0010] By means of the present invention, on a household appliance glass panel door, the control panel can be mounted on the door without the necessity of performing any mechanical operations on the glass panel and the door except adhesion. Particularly in the assembly of touch screen control panels on the door, the distance to be kept between the glass panel and the touch screen can be adjusted more precisely by the present invention and the control panel can be mounted on the door without forming a housing for containing the control panel. By means of the present invention, furthermore savings is provided in labor and time and the glass is prevented from damage since a mechanical operation is not performed on a fragile surface such as glass.
