Abstract
The invention presents a solution to avoid glue when fixing an elastic foot to a pot support, such as used in ranges and kitchen hobs. The pot support () has a cavity () which is aligned with an elastic foot () which comprises on the other hand a hollow space (). By inserting an expansion body () into the hollow space, a press fit is generated between a support structure () of the pot support and/or elastic material of the foot (). Rivets () or bolts () are taught as expansion bodies. The invention also teaches a method to mount an elastic foot to a pot support. The invention provides a solution for avoiding the deteriorating effects of aging glue used in the prior art, which leads to the loss of rubber feet on current pot supports.
