PULL-OUT GUIDE AND DOMESTIC APPLIANCE
The invention relates to a pull-out guide, in particular for a domestic appliance or a piece of furniture, comprising a stationary guide rail and a running rail which is movably mounted on the guide rail. A damping device comprising a fluid damper which acts on one side is provided on the guide rail, said fluid damper having a damper housing and a piston rod which can be pushed into and drawn out of the damper housing. A first activator acts on the damping device shortly before reaching a closed position during a closing movement of the running rail in order to brake the movement of the running rail. A second activator acts on the damping device shortly before reaching the maximum open position during an opening movement of the running rail in order to brake the movement of the running rail. The pull-out guide is preferably used in a domestic appliance, in particular in a dishwasher.
FASTENING SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR INSTALLING A FASTENING SYSTEM HAVING A PULLOUT GUIDE AND A SIDE GRID
A fastening system comprises a side grid, a pullout guide, and multiple fastening elements fixed on the pullout guide, by means of which the pullout guide is fixed in a formfitting manner on a horizontal rod of the side grid, wherein the horizontal rod has a middle section extending in a longitudinal direction and two angled end sections, which are each fixed on an upright of the side grid, wherein at least a front fastening element has at least one contact surface inclined in relation to the vertical for contact on the middle section of the rod, and at least one rear fastening element has a contact surface inclined in relation to the vertical on the middle section of the rod, wherein an essentially V-shaped receptacle is formed on the front fastening element, which encloses the front angled end section of the rod from above. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for installing a fastening system.
SHELF SUPPORT DEVICE AND COOKING APPLIANCE WITH THE SAME
The present disclosure relates a shelf support device and a cooking appliance with the same. The shelf support device includes a rail extending in forward and backward directions to locate a front end portion over a rear end portion, including an upper surface portion and a lower surface portion; and a support unit at which a shelf is mounted at an upper portion of the support unit, coupled to the rail to be movable along the movement path formed by each of the upper surface portion and the lower surface portion, and configured to change a position of the shelf in an upward direction when being moved in the forward direction and the position of the shelf in a downward direction when being moved in the backward direction.
SLIDE RAIL LOCKING DEVICE
A slide rail locking device includes an upper locking plate coupling a supporting bar mounted on an inside wall of a main body and a slide rail fixed to a side or bottom surface of a drawer, located above the supporting bar, and locked into the slide rail, a lower locking plate located below the supporting bar, a connection plate connecting the upper locking plate and the lower locking plate, and an extended plate formed by being bulged down from the lower locking plate to face the upper locking plate. A gap is formed between the slide rail locking device and a vertical supporting bar, whereby undesired movement of the slide rail locking device generated by a drawing motion of the drawer being drawn out of and retracted into the main body may be offset.
Oven Rack Assemblies and Related Methods
An oven rack assembly includes an oven rack, a subframe, and a slide system coupled to the oven rack and the subframe. The slide system includes a pair of slide devices, a pair of rack brackets coupled to opposite sides of the oven rack, and a pair of subframe brackets coupled to opposite sides of the subframe. Each rack bracket has a plurality of openings to receive mounts of an inner member of the slide device therethrough to couple the slide device to the rack bracket. Each subframe bracket has a pair of upwardly opening recesses and slot openings extending from the recesses. The recesses allow mounts of an outer member of the slide device to be disposed within the slot openings to couple the slide device to the subframe bracket.
COOKING APPLIANCE
A cooking appliance including a cooking room; and a rack assembly removably installed in the inside of the cooking room. The rack assembly includes a stationary member fixed in the inside of the cooking room; a moving member configured to slide out of the cooking room; a locking device installed in the stationary member, and configured to lock the stationary member to prevent the stationary member from escaping from the inside of the cooking room; and a noise reducing member configured to reduce noise that is generated when the locking device contacts with at least one of the stationary member and the moving member.
HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCE
A household appliance includes an interior space for accommodating a rack system, and a wall element on opposite sides of the interior space. A locking projection is arranged on at least one of the wall elements. The rack system has a stationary part arranged in the interior space and a part movable at least partially in front of the interior space via guides. A locking element is provided on the stationary part for detachable engagement with the locking projection, which can be moved into an unlocked position via a driver on the movable part. The locking element can be moved from the unlocked position into the locked position exclusively by gravity and moved into the unlocked position via the driver, and can be moved via the driver from a lowered locking position into a raised unlocked position or from a raised locking position into a lowered unlocked position.
Sliding/pivoting mechanism of a shelf of a piece of furniture or of a domestic appliance, domestic, appliance, and piece of furniture
The invention relates to a sliding/pivoting mechanism of a shelf of a piece of furniture or of a domestic appliance for pulling out and raising the shelf from a body of the piece of furniture or of the domestic appliance, which sliding/pivoting mechanism has at least two pivoting arms, which are fastened by means of a first end to at least one of the side walls of the body in such a way that said pivoting arms can be rotated parallel to the plane of the side walls and which are arranged parallel to each other at a distance from each other, wherein at respective second ends of the pivoting arms, a guide rail is fastened in such a way that the guide rail can be pivoted parallel to the plane of the side walls and in such a way that the guide rail can be pivoted from a lower position inside the body to a raised upper position at least partially outside the body, and at least one running rail, which is linearly displacable in the guide rail and to which the shelf is fastened, wherein a damping unit that damps the traveling motion of the shelf in an end position is arranged on the sliding/pivoting mechanism. The invention further relates to a piece of furniture and to a domestic appliance having a sliding/pivoting mechanism and a domestic appliance having a damping unit, which is arranged on the pull-out guide, for damping the shelf in an end position.
PULL-OUT GUIDE AND DOMESTIC APPLIANCE
A pull-out guide, in particular for domestic appliances, comprising a stationary guide rail and a running rail which is movably supported relative to the guide rail, on which a moving push element is supported, wherein at least one stop for limiting the movement of the push element relative to the running rail is provided on the running rail, wherein the at least one stop for the push element is designed in a resilient manner.
OVEN RACK ASSEMBLIES WITH RELEASE MECHANISMS AND CATCHES
An oven rack assembly (2000) can be used with an oven (128) having sets of liner ribs (1004). The oven rack assembly (2000) includes an oven rack (208), slide system (2018) and subframe (2040). The oven rack assembly (2000) also includes a retention/release assembly (2060) for facilitating retention of a position of the subframe (2040) onto liner ribs (2004) and for facilitating release of the subframe (2040) when a user wishes to remove or move the assembly (2000) from the oven. Attachment plates (2065) can also be included, with the plates (2065) mounted to side stampings (2022). The oven rack assembly (2000) also includes protruding forms (2122) on the subframe (2040) which interact with forms (2124) positioned along the liner ribs (2004) to prevent tipping of the subframe (2040) when the oven rack (2008) is moved to an extended position.
