Abstract
A cooking range with a cooking zone plate made of glass, glass ceramics or similar materials. A frame for the cooking zone plate serves as edge protection on the one hand and as closing for the upper edge of the plate. On the other hand, the cooking zone plate is bonded with the frame on the edge side. According to the invention, the frame includes an attachment frame part and a visual frame part separated from the attachment frame part. The attachment frame is a standardized component that is connected with the lower plate edge. The visual frame serves as protection edge and upper closing. In this way a frame modular system can be put together for all applications in a simple, economical manner.
Claims19
A cooking range comprising:
- a plate of glass, glass ceramics or a similar material, said plate having a top surface, a bottom surface, and a peripheral edge;
- a framing means for framing the plate including attachment means that are bonded to the bottom surface of the plate, and means for edge protection and lateral closing of the plate;
- and
- a cooking range casing that surrounds the plate at its bottom and has lateral walls and a bottom part, said lateral walls having a bent flange at an upper end thereof;
- wherein the attachment means of the framing means have an attachment frame (10) formed with a cross section profile in the shape of a lying "U", said cross section profile having an upper leg and a lower leg, said upper leg having an uppermost surface which is bonded with said bottom surface of the plate (30) such that said attachment frame is disposed completely beneath said plate, the attachment frame removably receiving said flange of the cooking range casing after the attachment frame is bonded to the bottom surface of the plate, and the means for edge protection and lateral closing of the plate (30) includes a visual frame (20) separate from the lateral walls (11) of the cooking range casing and a sealing mass sealingly disposed between said visual frame and said peripheral edge of said plate, said sealing mass being separate from said attachment frame.
A cooking apparatus comprising:
- a cooking plate of glass, glass ceramics or a similar material, said plate having an upper surface, a bottom surface, and a peripheral edge;
- a two-part mounting frame to receive and fix the cooking plate in a cooking range, the mounting frame comprising a standardized supporting frame part (11) and a profile frame part (10a, 10b, 10c) of low total height bonded to the bottom surface of the cooking plate (30) such that said profile frame part is disposed completely beneath said bottom surface of the plate, said profile frame part (10a, 10b, 10c) being constructed to removably receive an end of the supporting frame part (11) after being bonded to the cooking plate;
- and
- a visual frame (20) formed separately from the two-part mounting frame for edge protection and lateral closing of the cooking plate.
