Patent number: 10190780Abstract: A door for a household appliance includes a plate-type base part and a handle which is arranged on the base part and includes a movable handle part. Connected to the handle part is a coupling apparatus which is configured to pivot the handle part relative to the base part as a function of a movement of the door. The coupling apparatus includes a coupling rod arranged on the handle part, a return spring arranged on the coupling rod, and a single-run cable pull having an end which faces the handle part and is connected to the coupling rod. Provision is further made for a locking mechanism to limit a movement of the coupling rod.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2015Date of Patent: January 29, 2019Assignee: BSH Hausgeräte GmbHInventors: Michael Essert, Manfred Hintermayer, Kerstin Sickert, Reinhard Wiedenmann

Patent number: 10168055Abstract: A household appliance includes a housing having a receiving space for food and a storage space disposed below the receiving space. A door for closing an opening of the receiving space of the housing is insertable into the storage place when the door is opened and includes at least one electrical consumer, a first electrical contact coupled to the electrical consumer, and a housing-side second electrical contact electrically coupled to the first electrical contact for supply of electrical energy to the consumer as a function of an operating position of the door. The door is guided into the storage space by a guide apparatus which has a housing-side horizontal guide slot arranged laterally in relation to the door in a side wall of the storage space. The second electrical contact is arranged adjacent to the guide slot in the side wall of the storage space.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 2015Date of Patent: January 1, 2019Assignee: BSH Hausgeräte GmbHInventors: Martin Brunner, Thomas Dankwardt, Manfred Hintermayer, Nils Platt, Thorsten Rausch, Marco Weinkötz, Reinhard Wiedenmann

Publication number: 20180038145Abstract: A household appliance includes a housing surrounding an accommodation space and a door pivotable relative to the housing between a closing state in which the door closes a loading opening of the accommodation space and an opening state in which the door is retracted into a stowing area in the housing. A guide device is coupled to the door to guide the door during movement into and out of the stowing area. The guide device includes a bearing unit configured as a multi-articulated device which is mounted for rotation about an axis of rotation and includes guide elements. The multi-articulated device is configured such that a distance of the guide elements from one another and/or a distance of at least one of the guide elements to the axis of rotation is changeable depending on a position of the door.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 5, 2016Publication date: February 8, 2018Inventors: Konrad Bleier, Martin Brunner, Manfred Hintermayer, Heiko Meyer, Kerstin Sickert, Reinhard Wiedenmann

Publication number: 20180038597Abstract: A domestic appliance includes a housing having an accommodating space and a door arranged pivotably to the housing so as to be movable to a closed state in which a loading opening of the accommodating space of the housing is closeable and an opened state in which the door is lowered in a stowage space in the housing. A guiding device is coupled to the door to guide a movement of the door into and out of the stowage space. The guiding device includes a supporting unit which is mounted for rotation about an axis of rotation and includes a supporting bracket, and guiding elements which are mounted rotatably on the supporting bracket. The supporting bracket has a displacement slot defined by a varying radius and configured to rotate the supporting bracket about the axis of rotation with a rotational movement which deviates from a segment of a circular path.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 5, 2016Publication date: February 8, 2018Inventors: Konrad Bleier, Martin Brunner, Manfred Hintermayer, Heiko Meyer, Kerstin Sickert, Reinhard Wiedenmann
