Abstract

A control module is disclosed for mounting in an electrical appliance that provides a supporting base for assembly of electrical components to include control elements forming part of a control panel. The module includes a relatively flat base formed of relatively stiff, molded material with a transverse linear zone extending thereacross to divide the base into a rearward section and a forward control panel section. The linear zone is of sufficiently reduced thickness that it provides a hinge means so that the front and rear sections may be pivoted relative to one another between a relatively flat assembly condition and a final mounting condition. After assembly and flexing of the sections, the module may be mounted in an appliance with the front section serving as a portion of a manually operable control panel for the appliance.
