Embodiment Construction

[0023] figure 1 A perspective view of a refrigeration appliance, such as a refrigerator or a freezer, is shown, which adopts a free-standing upright design and has a frame 30 and a door 31. The top side of the frame 30 is formed by a table 32 whose front edge 33 is flush with the door 31. An opening is provided in the front edge 33, into which the frame 1 of the housing is inserted. The frame 1 generally has the shape of an elongated rectangular parallelepiped with an open front side. The cover 2 of the housing is shown separated from the refrigeration device. The cover 2 includes a cover plate 14 and a skirt. In the installed state, the cover plate 14 usually covers the front edge 33 of the table top. The skirt includes four connecting parts 15, 16, 17, and The connecting parts are connected to each other at the corners and protrude at right angles from the rear side of the cover plate 14 (see also figure 2 ), and the skirt is set to be engaged with the frame 1 in the installe...

Abstract

Disclosed is a housing for a household appliance, comprising a carcass (1) and a cover (2) that can be mounted on an opening of the carcass (1) by having a first locking surface (6) of the cover (2) latch onto a second locking surface (4) of the carcass (1). The cover (2) or the carcass (1) has a recess (8) while the other has a projection (10). The projection (10) and the recess (8) engage into one another so as to leave some clearance in a direction extending parallel to the locking surfaces (4; 6), said clearance being less than the size of the locking surfaces (4; 6) in said direction.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a housing for household appliances. The housing includes a frame and a cover, and the cover can be fixed to the frame by engaging a first locking surface of the cover with a second locking surface of the frame On the opening. Background technique [0002] For electric household appliances, such as refrigeration equipment, it is known to install the electrical or electronic components used to control the appliance on the inside of the cover, and install the cover on the frame of the appliance, so that the components are protected in the frame when in place Inside the cavity. This type of cover must be reliably joined to the frame that supports it in order to ensure that the user does not touch any live parts. Even though electrical or electronic components or charged surfaces are usually installed in the cavity of the frame separately from the cover, it must be ensured that the cover cannot accidentally be detached from the f...
