Definitions

• the present invention relates to a household appliance comprising a liquid tank, the reservoir being adapted for translational movement between the working position inside the housing of the household appliance and the service position when the reservoir is located at least partially outside the household appliance.
• Fig. 1 shows a household appliance according to the invention with a glass faceplate
• Fig. 2 shows a water dosing assembly
• Fig. 3 shows detail of fixing the assembly of Fig. 2 to the faceplate.
• a household appliance according to the invention for example the built-in oven shown in Fig. 1, comprises a walled oven space, which is known per se, and is accessed at the front through a door and is separated from the upper, ending section by the partition wall 1.
• the front section of the household appliance features a faceplate 2, which is formed either as a glass faceplate or a metal faceplate.
• a water dosing assembly 3 for dosing water into said household appliance is attached to said faceplate 2.
• Said water dosing assembly 3 comprises a housing 4 formed in a sense of a trough and extending approximately perpendicularly along the faceplate 2, which is fixed to the faceplate 2 of the household appliance. Furthermore, said housing 4 is at least partially covered by the lid 5, the connection between the housing 4 and the lid 5 being formed by means of a snap-in means known per se.
• a longitudinally movable, elongated water tank 6 is provided, which is at least partly covered by a lid 7, the connection between the water tank 6 and the lid 7 being formed by means of a snap-in means known per se.
• the water tank 6 is permanently loaded by means of a resilient means 8, which cooperates with the end wall of the housing 4 facing away from the faceplate 2 on the first side and with the opposite end wall of the water tank 6 on the other side.
• Moving the water tank 6 from or back into the housing 4 is enabled by means of an actuating button 6, which is located the water tank 6 at the side facing said faceplate 2.
• said button 6 In the closed position of the water tank 6, i.e. in the working position when the water tank 6 is completely inside the housing 4, said button 6 is aligned with the outer surface of the faceplate 2. Pressing the release button 6 activates the pre stressed resilient means 8, which pushes the water tank 6 out of the housing 4 and, respectively, through the faceplate 2 out of the household appliance, e.g. by about 20 mm.
• the user In order to fill the water tank 6 with water without any problems, the user must also pull out the water tank 6 into its final extended position, e.g. approximately 45 mm outside the faceplate 2.
• said water tank 6 is at least partly made of a transparent or partly transparent plastic, thus providing the user with a simple, visual impression of the amount of water contained in the water tank 6.
• Said trough like housing 4 which in its end area faces away from the faceplate 2 and which faces said partition wall 1, is designed with a bracket 9 which is provided for receiving and firmly holding a water pump 10.
• said bracket 9 is connected to the partition wall 1 by means of a form-joint connection.
• the bracket 9 is formed with a protrusion 11, which cooperates with a corresponding cut-out on the partition wall 1.
• Said water dosing assembly 3 is attached to the faceplate 2 without the use of any screw means with at least one holding tab 12, preferably two holding tabs 12, and more preferably three holding tabs 12, which are integral part of a holding element
• Said holding element 13 extends at least partly lengthwise relative to the faceplate 2 and is positioned on the side facing the interior of the household appliance.
• a throat flange shaped interface 14 is arranged between the actuating button 6’ and the water dosing assembly 3, which is intended to cover the gap between the water dosing assembly 3 and cut-out for the button 6’ in the faceplate 2.
• said interface 14 is configured for guiding the water tank 6 during its movement in the push-and-pull phase.
• said interface 14 may be an integral part of the housing 4, thus making the requirement for the interface as a stand-alone element superfluous.
