Embodiment Construction

[0023] figure 1 A perspective view of a cooling appliance, such as a refrigerator or freezer, is shown in a freestanding upright design with a frame 30 and a door 31 . The top side of the frame 30 is formed by a deck 32 whose front edge 33 is flush with the door 31 . An opening is provided in the front edge 33, into which opening 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 unit. 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, and the skirt includes four connecting portions 15, 16, 17. The connections are connected to each other at corners and protrude at right angles from the rear side of the cover plate 14 (see also FIG. 2 ), and said skirt is provided for engagement with the frame 1 in the mounted state.

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 invention relates to a housing for a household appliance, the housing comprising a frame and a cover, the cover being securable 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 mount the electrical or electronic components used to control the appliance on the inside of a cover, and to mount the cover on the frame of the appliance so that the components are protected in place on the frame in the inner cavity. A cover of the type described must be securely engaged to the frame supporting it in order to ensure that the user does not have access to any live parts. Even though electrical or electronic components or live surfaces are usually mounted separately from the cover in the cavity of the frame, it must be ensured that the cover cannot be accidentally detached fro...
