Abstract:
A method and device for controlling the inside temperature of a refrigeration compartment, wherein control means are controlled by a thermostat; a temperature sensor is located far away from the refrigerating means and in a specific portion of the inside volume of the refrigeration compartment, e.g. on a lighting fixture; and the specific portion of the inside volume of the refrigeration compartment is selected with the exclusion of a first top portion of the volume of the refrigeration compartment having a volume equal to 8-10% of the total inside volume of the refrigeration compartment, with the exclusion of a second front portion of a depth equal to at least 10% of the total inside depth of the refrigeration compartment, and preferably also with the exclusion of a bottom portion of the refrigeration compartment.
Abstract:
A device for fast displacement of the position in height of a shelf (3) having an upper resting surface within a refrigerating cell (1) of an electrical household appliance, such as a refrigerator or freezer, including means for the coupling (12) with respective guides (4) for supporting the refrigerating cell arranged in a plurality of positions fixed in height within the refrigerating cell itself and adjustment means (14) of the pin-groove type set (16) between the coupling means and respective opposite lateral sides of the shelf for selective displacement of the shelf between a first position and a second position, set at different heights, with respect to the coupling means; in this way, the resting shelf can be coupled in use with a pair of guides set at a selected height in the refrigerating cell and can be displaced between two different heights with respect to that of the pair of guides simply by pushing the shelf itself upwards.
Abstract:
A device for automatically extracting from a seat (4) a drawer (3) for dispensing detergent and/or other process fluids of an electric household appliance; the device including a release device (10), elastic means (11) for pushing the drawer from the seat into an extracted position, and decelerating means (12) for opposing the movement of the drawer; wherein the elastic means act on a rotary-to-linear motion conversion device (14) located between the drawer (3) and a fixed member of the seat (4) to produce a linear movement of the seat into the extracted position upon release of the elastic means (11); and wherein the decelerating means act on a rotary member (15) of the rotary-to-linear motion conversion device (14).
Abstract:
A compact terminal board for an electric motor, having a supporting body (12), a number of electric supply contacts (14), and an electric ground contact (13). Each of the electric supply contacts (14) includes a blade having a supporting portion (14a), at least a first longitudinal extension (14b), and two opposite lateral extensions (14d); the first longitudinal extension (14b) and the lateral extensions (14d) being bent substantially at right-angles on the same side of the supporting portion (14a) to form respective utility terminals.
Abstract:
A device (1) for controlling an electric appliance (2) having a door (3), a main power circuit (6), and a switch (7) for automatically cutting off the main circuit (6) when the door (3) is opened. The switch (7) is a reactivatable magnetic switch, which selectively assumes a closed position and an open position respectively closing and opening the main circuit (6). The magnetic switch (7) is powered by an activating circuit (8), which is cut off when the door (3) is opened and a movable part (5a) of a hinge (5) supporting the door (3) is rotated. When the activating circuit (8) is cut off, the magnetic switch (7) is moved into the open position (7b) by the action of a spring (10) which keeps the magnetic switch (7) in the open position even when the activating circuit (8) is closed again. And turning the appliance (2) back on calls for direct manual intervention by the user, who, after closing the door (3), must reactivate the magnetic switch (7) by pressing a push-button (46), in opposition to the spring (10), to move the magnetic switch (7) into the closed position.
Abstract:
A supporting device (1) for an inner supporting member (2) of an electric household appliance (4), including a support (10) securable, in use, by means of a first part thereof to a fixed guide (5) and by means of a second part thereof, opposite to and facing the first, to a side edge of the inner supporting member, the first and second parts (11,12) being relatively movable in a sliding direction (S) perpendicular to the supporting member, and releasable retaining means (15) for blocking the second part (12) in a plurality of different positions, consisting in a pin (20) carried by the first part (11) overhangingly protruding towards the second in a transversal direction to the fixed guide and sliding against the bias of first elastic means (25) parallelly to the fixed guide; and in a sliding track (22) for a free end of the pin divided into first and second branches (28,29) integrally obtained within the second part (12) of the support (10) and a slide (30) slidingly carried against the bias of second elastic means (33) by such a second part (12) in the sliding direction, respectively; the first branch (28) being provided with a plurality of teeth (35) and first openings (36) facing the second branch (29) and the latter communicating with the first branch through second openings (42) held by the second elastic means (33) in an offset position from the first in the sliding direction.
