A connecting element is provided for connecting an induction coil to a coil carrier of an induction cooking hob. The connecting element is made of an elastic material and formed as a single-piece part. The connecting element includes a first snap-fit portion connectable to a cut-out of the induction coil, and a spring portion arrangeable between the induction coil and the coil carrier, so that the spring portion provides a distance therebetween. The connecting element includes a second snap-fit portion extending opposite to the first snap-fit portion. The second snap-fit portion is connectable to a cut-out of the coil carrier.

The present invention relates to a cooking hob () with at least two one-piece fastening elements () arranged at outer portions of the cooking hob (). The fastening element () comprises a first portion () being permanently connected or connectable to an upper part () of the cooking hob (). The fastening element () comprises a second portion () being detachably connected or connectable to a lower part () of the cooking hob (), so that the upper part () and the lower part () form the cooking hob (). The second portion () of the fastening element () comprises at least one spring element () at a sidewall of the cooking hob () in order to clamp the cooking hob () within a cutout () enclosing circumferentially the cooking hob (). At least two fastening elements () are arranged at opposite sidewalls of the cooking hob (). Further, the present invention relates to a one-piece fastening element.

The invention relates to a cooking arrangement () comprising a cooking hob () which is arranged on a worktop (), wherein the cooking hob () is supported on the worktop () by means of a carrier frame (), wherein the cooking hob () has a vertical height (H) and a bottom member () with a bottom surface which is directed vertically downwards and wherein the worktop () has a top surface () which is directed vertically upwards. To allow an arrangement of the cooking hob () without machining a cutout into the worktop () the invention proposes that the carrier frame () is designed to support the cooking hob () in such a way that the bottom surface of the bottom member () is positioned in a vertical height equal or above (x) the vertical height of the top surface () of the worktop ().

Cooking arrangement

A grill and/or frying plate for use on an induction cooking hob, including at least one grill section and at least one section different from the grill section, in particular a frame section or a warming section. When the grill and/or frying plate is mounted to the cooking hob, the at least one grill section is at least partially arranged directly above at least one heating element of the cooking hob and that the at least one section different from the grill section is at least partially arranged in a position where no heating element is arranged below. A recess and/or a securing recess and/or a fixation groove are arranged in a region that delimits the grill section from the section different from the grill section, in such a way that the heat transfer from the grill section to the section different from the grill section is reduced.

The present invention relates to an induction cooking hob including at least one induction coil (). The induction cooking hob comprises a housing () with at least one vertical wall () and a bottom panel (). A top panel is provided for covering the top side of the housing (). The induction coil () is connected or connectable to the at least one vertical wall () by at least one fixing element (). A rigid conjunction is provided between the vertical wall () and at least one the fixing element (). The induction coil () and the at least one fixing element () form a rigid body, so that the induction coil () is supported by the vertical wall (). Further, the present invention relates to an induction coil () provided for said induction cooking hob.

The present invention relates to a one-piece fastening element () with a cooking hob (). The fastening element () comprises an upper portion () being permanently connectable to an upper part () of the cooking hob () and a lower portion () being detachably connectable to a lower part () of the cooking hob (), so that the upper part () and the lower part () form the cooking hob (). The lower portion () of the fastening element () comprises at least one lug element () engageable with a recess () in the lower part () of the cooking hob () and at least one spring element () for clamping the cooking hob () within a cutout () enclosing circumferentially said cooking hob (). Further, the present invention relates to a cooking hob with such one-piece fastening elements.

The invention relates to a household appliance (), in particular a kitchen range with at least one control and/or display circuit board () that is set in an appropriate mounting recess (), said control and/or display board (), when installed, being tightly pressed against another component () (specifically against the bottom surface of a glass-ceramic stovetop or of a control panel. To ensure good tolerance compensation in cost-effective fashion and, thus, secure pressure contact between the control and display board and the said other component, the invention proposes the placement of the control and/or display board () in a socket () in the mounting recess (), which socket () is provided with several spring elements () so configured and arranged as to press against the control and/or display board () on its side facing away from the said other component ().

Household appliance, in particular a kitchen range

The present invention relates to a household appliance for performing a housekeeping task. The household appliance comprises a data input device () adapted to remotely sense a property in a sensing area (), and a controller () coupled to the data input device and adapted to control an operation of the household appliance in accordance with the sensed property.

A fastening element for attaching a part such as a cooking hob to a supporting element, such as a frame supporting/surrounding the cooking hob, can include a spring secured to the supporting element. In one implementation, the fastening element can be secured by engaging a locking element of the spring into a first recess in the supporting element. In the mounted state, the spring has at its free end a gripping portion for holding the part, and the spring being embodied, as an element which is bent in a leaf-shaped manner. For ease in mounting the spring, the spring can have at the other end a width-reduced end that can penetrate a second slit-shaped recess in the supporting element. The width-reduced end and the slit-shaped recess are narrower than the region of the spring that is bent in a leaf-shaped manner.
