Definitions
- This invention relates to a domestic appliance, especially a dishwasher, which comprises an adjustable covering plate.
- the front side of the support which is located at the bottom of a domestic appliance, is covered by a covering plate.
- a covering plate Depending on its place of use, if the height of the domestic appliance is lowered the covering plate should not prevent this and on the other hand if the height of the appliance is increased there should not be left a space between the lower end of the covering plate and the floor.
- the object of the present invention is to realize a domestic appliance comprising an adjustable covering plate whose height and depth can easily be changed.
- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a domestic appliance comprising a small covering plate mounted on it.
- Figure 2a is a detailed perspective view of a small covering plate comprising an flap.
- Figure 2b is a schematic view of a small covering plate comprising a folded flap.
- Figure 3 is a detailed perspective view of a domestic appliance comprising depth adjustment and locking means.
- Figure 4 is a detailed perspective view of a depth adjustment means, locking means, slot for locking means and a fixation protrusion.
- Figure 5 is a detailed perspective view of a depth adjustment means, a slot for locking means and a fixation intrusion.
- Figure 6 is a detailed perspective view of a domestic appliance whose height is increased and a covering plate mounted on it.
- Figure 7a is a detailed perspective view of a covering plate wherein the space left behind it is closed by an flap.
- Figure 7b is a detailed perspective view of a covering plate comprising a height adjustment channel wherein the space left behind it is not closed.
- a domestic appliance comprises a plinth (2) which enables it to be levelly placed on the floor and a covering plate (3) which covers the front side of the plinth (2).
- the plinth (2) comprises one or more depth adjustment means (4) onto which the covering plate is moimted so as to allow the adjustment of the depth of the covering plate (3) by either pushing or drawing it, one or more locking means (5) for fixing the depth adjustment means (4) at a desired position, one or more slots (6) through which the locking means (5) moves in the desired direction, and one or more protrusions (7) which enable the locking means (5) to be fixed at the locking position.
- Depth adjustment means (4) involves one or more recesses (8) for fixing the depth adjustment means (4) at a desired position by way of placing the locking means (5) into any one of said recesses (8).
- Locking means (5) is fastened to the locking slot (6) without any auxiliary elements such as screws or pinions. Locking means (5) can be moved in the locking slot (6) either linearly in the vertical or horizontal directions or rotationally.
- the movements of the locking means (5) may take place either in the plane of the plinth (2) or in other planes.
- the covering plate (3) comprises a large covering plate (10) which is used when the height of use of the domestic appliance (1) is either nominal or more, and a small covering plate (9) which is used when the height of use of the domestic appliance (1) is nominal.
- Large covering plate (10) involves one or more height adjustment channels
- the small covering plate (9) involves one or more flaps (12) for closing the space left behind the height adjustment channel (12) after the adjustably mounting of the large covering plate (10) in front of the small covering plate (9).
- the flaps (12) are such that they can be folded back for providing full contact between the lower edge of the small covering plate (9) and the floor, in case the small covering plate (9) is used alone.
- the plinth (2) comprises one or more cavities (13) for fixing the locking means (5) at a locking position.
- the small covering plate (9) For the small covering plate (9) to be able to be used alone at nominal heights of usage of the domestic appliance (1), it is mounted to depth adjustment means (4) and for it to reside fully upon the floor the flaps (12) are folded back. In order to adjust the depth, first the depth adjustment means (4) is moved forward or backward until it is brought to the desired position; then the locking means (5) is slide till it resides on the recess (8) of the depth adjustment means (4). For the nominal or more usage heights of the domestic appliance (1), the large covering plate (10) is first placed in front of the small covering plate (9) and slide down until it resides on the floor then it is mounted on the depth adjustment means (4) via the fixing elements which pass through depth adjustment channels (11). Once the depth adjustment means (4) are brought to the desired position by being moved forward or backward, the locking means (5) is slide till it resides in the recess (8) of the depth adjustment means (4).
- the covering plate (3) is mounted on the depth adjustment means (4) before the depth adjustment, so that the position adjustment is made easier.
- the present covering plate (3) is made up of two pieces one of which is slidably mounted on the other, at every usage height and depth of the domestic appliance (1) within the standards, the front face of the plinth (2) can be closed without leaving any space.
