Abstract
A telescopic linkage, in particular, for gas cooking points includes an arresting mechanism between two longitudinal telescopic bodies, one inserted inside the other in a longitudinal direction, optionally opened, by manual rotation at one linkage end, for changing the length of the telescopic linkage or for safeguarding against unauthorized or accidental switching on of a household appliance.
Claims17
A household appliance telescopic linkage, comprising:
- at least two longitudinal telescopic bodies including a first body and a second body each having a linkage end, said bodies defining a longitudinal linkage direction;
- said first body at least partially inserted inside said second body in said longitudinal linkage direction and rotatable in said second body at least in a rotation direction;
- said bodies transmitting adjusting movements and adjusting forces from said linkage end of said first body to said linkage end of said second body in said longitudinal linkage direction and around said longitudinal linkage direction in said rotation direction;
- said bodies displaceable relative to one another in said longitudinal linkage direction and arrestable with one another for joint longitudinal movement;
- said bodies rotatable relative to one another through an angle-of-rotation range about said longitudinal linkage axis between:
- an axially arrested position in which said bodies are axially arrested with respect to one another;
- and
- an axially released position in which said bodies are axially moveable with respect to one another;
- and
- due to the relative rotation, said bodies, at least in said axially arrested position, being additionally arrestable relative to one another in said rotation direction and releaseable from one another by rotation in a direction opposite said rotation direction.

In a household appliance having a manual operating element and a functional part, a telescopic linkage for connecting the manual operating element to the functional part, the telescopic linkage comprising:
- at least two longitudinal telescopic bodies including a first body and a second body each having a linkage end, said bodies defining a longitudinal linkage direction;
- said first body at least partially inserted inside said second body in said longitudinal linkage direction and rotatable in said second body at least in a rotation direction;
- said bodies transmitting adjusting movements and adjusting forces from said linkage end of said first body to said linkage end of said second body in said longitudinal linkage direction and around said longitudinal linkage direction in said rotation direction;
- said bodies displaceable relative to one another in said longitudinal linkage direction and arrestable with one another for joint longitudinal movement;
- said bodies rotatable relative to one another through an angle-of-rotation range about said longitudinal linkage axis between:
- an axially arrested position in which said bodies are axially arrested with respect to one another;
- and
- an axially released position in which said bodies are axially moveable with respect to one another;
- and
- due to the relative rotation, said bodies, at least in said axially arrested position, being additionally arrestable relative to one another in said rotation direction and releaseable from one another by rotation in a direction opposite said rotation direction.
