Abstract
A hob apparatus includes at least one heating element adapted to heat a cooking vessel. The at least one heating element is supported by at least one space dividing element in an installation position. A fixing unit embodied at least in part as a locking unit attaches the at least one heating element and the at least one space dividing element to each other.
Claims25
A hob apparatus, comprising:
- at least one heating element adapted to heat a cooking vessel;
- at least one space dividing element configured to support the at least one heating element in an installation position, and
- a fixing unit configured to attach the at least one heating element and the at least one space dividing element to each other, said fixing unit comprising two locking units on opposing sides of the heating element, the two locking units configured to be received by corresponding recesses in the at least one space dividing element,
- wherein the fixing unit is configured to attach the at least one heating element and the at least one space dividing element to each other as a result of a rotational movement of the at least one heating element and of the at least one space dividing element relative to each other.
A hob, comprising at least one hob apparatus, said hob apparatus comprising at least one heating element adapted to heat a cooking vessel, at least one space dividing element configured to support the at least one heating element in an installation position, and a fixing unit configured to attach the at least one heating element and the at least one space dividing element to each other, said fixing unit comprising two locking units on opposing sides of the heating element, the two locking units configured to be received by corresponding recesses in the at least one space dividing element, wherein the fixing unit is configured to attach the at least one heating element and the at least one space dividing element to each other as a result of a rotational movement of the at least one heating element and of the at least one space dividing element relative to each other.
A method for the assembly of a hob apparatus, comprising:
- supporting at least one heating element for heating a cooking vessel by at least one space dividing element in an installation position;
- and
- locking the at least one heating element and the at least one space dividing element to each other,
- wherein the at least one heating element and the at least one space dividing element are locked to each other as a result of a rotational movement of the at least one heating element and of the at least one space dividing element relative to each other,
- wherein the at least one heating element and the at least one space dividing element are locked to each other by fixing elements comprising two locking units on opposing sides of the heating element, the two locking units configured to be received by corresponding recesses in the at least one space dividing element.
