Object of the invention

La presente invención se refiere a un elemento que ha sido concebido como protector a la vez que como embellecedor para aparatos electrodomésticos, tales como neveras, lavadoras, lavavajillas y en general cualquier tipo de electrodoméstico que presente una carcasa de hierro o acero, convenientemente pintado o revestido.The present invention relates to an element which has been conceived as a protector as well as a beautifier for home appliances, such as refrigerators, washing machines, dishwasher and in general any type of appliance that present an iron or steel housing, conveniently painted or coated.

El objeto de la invención es conseguir un protector-embellecedor que resulte fácilmente adaptable y fijable al electrodoméstico de que se trate, en una maniobra prácticamente instantánea y con carácter amovible, aportando al electrodoméstico una mayor durabilidad, protección y decoración.The object of the invention is to achieve a protector-trim that turns out easily adaptable and attachable to the appliance in question, in a virtually instantaneous maneuver with removable character, providing the appliance with greater durability, protection and decor.

Background of the invention

Los electrodomésticos del tipo anteriormente citado, tales como neveras, lavadoras y lavavajillas, están habitualmente destinados a quedar integrados en un conjunto de muebles de cocina, con los que sería deseable que tales electrodomésticos diesen lugar a una combinación estética. Sin embargo, la mayor parte de tales electrodomésticos presentan superficies lisas, generalmente pintadas o lacadas en blanco, que en muchas ocasiones rompen la línea de diseño del mobiliario.Appliances of the type above cited, such as refrigerators, washing machines and dishwashers, are usually intended to be integrated into a set of kitchen furniture, with which it would be desirable that such appliances give rise to an aesthetic combination. Without However, most of such appliances present smooth surfaces, usually painted or lacquered in white, which on many occasions they break the furniture design line.

Tratando de obviar este problema son conocidos electrodomésticos con puertas panelables, de manera que dotando a estas últimas de un perfil perimetral desmontable, tales puertas pueden ser recubiertas mediante un tablero de reducido espesor, por ejemplo, por el mismo tipo de madera que el resto del mobiliario. Esta solución presenta, además de una indudable complejidad de montaje, un acabado estético que deja mucho que desear debido a la necesidad de implantación de los citados perfiles perimetrales y a la visibilidad de los tornillos con los que se lleva a cabo la fijación de los mismos.Trying to ignore this problem are known appliances with panelable doors, so that giving the latter of a removable perimeter profile, such doors they can be covered by a board of reduced thickness, by example, for the same type of wood as the rest of the furniture. This solution presents, in addition to an undoubted complexity of assembly, an aesthetic finish that leaves much to be desired due to the need to implement the aforementioned perimeter profiles and to the visibility of the screws with which the fixing them.

Por otro lado, cuando el frente del electrodoméstico resulta en origen adecuado al diseño general del mobiliario en el que se encuentra integrado, la normal utilización del mismo genera sobre sus zonas directamente accesibles roces y rayaduras que repercuten de forma muy negativa en su estética, acortando la vida útil del electrodoméstico.On the other hand, when the front of the appliance is originally suitable for the general design of the furniture in which it is integrated, normal use of the same generates on its directly accessible areas friction and scratches that have a very negative impact on their aesthetics, shortening the life of the appliance.

La problemática anteriormente expuesta se hace extensiva no sólo a las puertas de los electrodomésticos citados, sino también a las paredes laterales y/o a la base superior de los mismos, cuando éstas resultan directamente visibles y accesibles.The above problem is made Extensive not only to the doors of the aforementioned appliances, but also to the side walls and / or the upper base of the themselves, when these are directly visible and accessible.

Description of the invention
