Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a mounting system for supporting a radiant heating device above a bottom panel of a cooking hob according to claim 1. Further, the present invention relates to a cooking hob with at least one mounting system according to claim 9.
  • At least one radiant heating device is arranged below said glass-ceramic panel.
  • the radiant heating device has to be resiliently supported above the bottom panel of the cooking hob.
  • Resilient supporting systems according to the prior art have fastening element projecting at the lower surface of the bottom panel of the cooking hob. This may cause damages on other surfaces.
  • the resilient supporting systems of the prior art have no linear spring characteristics, so that the pressure of the radiant heating device is very high and can bend the glass-ceramic panel.
  • a further mounting system for supporting a radiant heating device of a cooking hob is disclosed in document US 2002/0033390 A1 .
  • the object of the present invention is achieved by the mounting system according to claim 1.
  • the mounting system for supporting a radiant heating device above a bottom panel of a cooking hob comprises at least one supporting bracket and dedicated receptacle means in the bottom panel, wherein:
  • the main idea of the present invention is the geometric form of the supporting bracket and the receptacle means.
  • the supporting bracket and the receptacle means are simple constructions, which allow a non-movable supporting bracket on the bottom panel. There are no projecting elements at the lower surface of the bottom panel.
  • the supporting bracket and the receptacle means allow a spring characteristic, so that a constant force acts onto the radiant heating device independently of the level of said radiant heating device.
  • the mountable portion comprises a narrow part at its end and a wide part besides the centre of the supporting bracket, so that the narrow part is complementary to the inner space between the guiding elements.
  • This form of the supporting bracket may be cut in a simple way.
  • At least one stop unit is formed by the resulting broadening between the narrow part end and the wide part of the mountable portion.
  • the motion of the mountable portion is limited by a simple construction.
  • the guiding elements are formed as L-profiles above the bottom panel, wherein the open longitudinal sides of said L-profiles are facing. This defines the path for inserting the mountable portion.
  • a first bending and a second bending are arranged between the mountable portion and the free end portion, wherein the first bending is bent up and the second bending is bent down.
  • an S-section is formed in the supporting bracket.
  • the first bending of said S-section can snapin at the barbed hook.
  • the distance between the first bending and the second bending is marginally bigger than the height of the barbed hook.
  • the free end portion comprises a buckled appendix provided as a contact surface for the radiant heating device.
  • the appendix may be formed as a sheet element extending in a substantially horizontal direction.
  • the object of the present invention is also achieved by the cooking hob with a glass-ceramic panel and at least one radiant heating device according to claim 9.
  • the radiant heating device is supported above a bottom of the cooking hob by at least one supporting bracket as described above.
  • the radiant heating device is supported at its circumferential side or sides, respectively, by outer supporting elements in order to prevent a horizontal motion of said radiant heating device.
  • the outer supporting elements are cut in the bottom panel and bent up, so that the outer supporting elements are vertical sheet elements. Also the bent up outer supporting elements guarantee that there are no projecting elements at the lower surface of the bottom panel.
  • the planes of the outer supporting elements extend in a radial direction related to the radiant heating device.
  • the outer supporting elements are stable and cannot be deformed by the radiant heating device, since the force act parallel to plane of the sheet elements.
  • FIG 1 illustrates a schematic diagram of a perspective view of receptacle means 26 and 28 for a supporting bracket 10 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
  • the receptacle means 26 and 28 are arranged on a bottom panel 30 of a cooking hob.
  • the receptacle means include two parallel guiding elements 26 and a barbed hook 28.
  • the guiding elements 26 are cut in the bottom panel 30 and' bent up, so that each guiding element 26 forms an L-profile above the bottom panel 30.
  • the open longitudinal sides of the parallel guiding elements 26 are facing, so that a complementary rectangular sheet is slidable between said guiding elements 26.
  • the barbed hook 28 is cut in the bottom panel 30 and bent up, so that the barbed hook 28 extends in the direction of the guiding elements 26.
  • the barbed hook 28 is arranged in front of the narrow sides of the guiding elements 26. In this example the distance between the barbed hook 28 and the guiding elements 26 is similar to the length of the guiding elements 26.
  • the guiding elements 26 and the barbed hook 28 are bent up, so that the guiding elements 26 as well as the barbed hook 28 are arranged above the bottom panel 30, but not below the bottom panel 30 of the cooking hob. Thus, the guiding elements 26 and the barbed hook 28 cannot damage any surface, on which the cooking hob is parked.
  • FIG 2 illustrates a schematic diagram of a perspective view of the supporting bracket 10 according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention.
  • the supporting bracket 10 comprises a mountable portion 12 and a free end portion 14.
  • the mountable portion 12 includes a narrow part at the end and a wide part beside the centre of the supporting bracket 10.
  • the narrow part of the mountable portion 12 is substantially complementary to the space between the guiding elements 26.
  • the narrow part of the mountable portion 12 is slidable between the guiding elements 26 along the longitudinal axis of said guiding elements 26.
  • Two stop units 16 are formed at the lateral longitudinal sides of the mountable portion 12 because of the different widths of the narrow part and the wide part of said mountable portion 12.
  • the stop units 16 limit the motion of the supporting bracket 10 between the guiding elements 26.
  • the narrow part of the mountable portion 12 can be inserted between the guiding elements 26, until the stop units 16 reach said guiding elements 26.
  • the stop units 16 limit the motion of the supporting bracket 10 in the direction to the mountable portion 12.
  • a first bending 18 and a second bending 20 are arranged between the mountable portion 12 and the free end portion 14.
  • the distance between the first bending 18 and the second bending 20 is marginally bigger than the height of the barbed hook 28 in the bottom panel 30.
  • the first bending 18 has substantially a right angle, so that the supporting bracket 10 has a vertical section in its centre.
  • the second bending 20 has an obtuse angle, so that the free end portion 14 extends upward and away from the mountable portion 12. In the first bending 18 the supporting bracket 10 is bent up. In the second bending 20 the supporting bracket 10 is bent down.
  • a third bending is arranged near the upper end of the free end portion 14, so that a buckled appendix 24 is formed at the upper end of said free end portion 14.
  • the appendix 24 is substantially a horizontal sheet element.
  • the appendix 24 is provided as a support surface for a radiant heating device 32. In the third bending 22 the supporting bracket 10 is bent down.
  • FIG 3 illustrates a schematic diagram of a perspective view of the receptacle means 26 and 28 with the supporting bracket 10 in a mounted state according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention.
  • the supporting bracket 10 according to FIG 2 is fastened at the receptacle means 26 and 28 according to FIG 1 .
  • the narrow part of the mountable portion 12 is completely inserted between the guiding elements 26.
  • the supporting bracket 10 is snapped-in between the receptacle means 26 and 28, while the first bending 18 is snapped-in at the barbed hook 28.
  • the stop units 16 prevent a motion of the supporting bracket 10 in the direction of the mountable portion 12.
  • the barbed hook 28 prevents a motion of the supporting bracket 10 in the direction of the free end portion 14.
  • the supporting bracket 10 is fixed at the receptacle means 26 and 28 and can only be released by lifting the free end portion 14, so that the first bending 18 overcomes the barbed hook 28.
  • FIG 4 illustrates a schematic diagram of a perspective view of a radiant heating device 32 supported on a bottom panel 30 of the cooking hob by the supporting bracket 10 according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention.
