Abstract

A built-in home appliance includes a rear leg group having a nut and a leg rod which advances on the nut in a vertical direction while the leg rod rotates, an adjustment shaft which rotates the leg rod of the rear leg group and extends with substantial rigidity. The adjustment shaft extends substantially horizontally with respect to the ground to adjust a height of the rear leg group. A movement transfer mechanism is provided to transfer a rotational movement of the adjustment shaft to the leg rod so that the leg rod rotates around its own axis.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A built-in home appliance, comprising:
 a rear leg group having a nut and a leg rod which advances on the nut in a vertical direction while the leg rod rotates;   an adjustment shaft which rotates the leg rod of the rear leg group and extends with substantial rigidity, said adjustment shaft extending substantially horizontally with respect to the ground to adjust a height of the rear leg group; and   a movement transfer mechanism which transfers a rotational movement of the adjustment shaft to the leg rod so that the leg rod rotates around its own axis.   
     
     
         2 . The built-in home appliance of  claim 1 , wherein the movement transfer mechanism rotates a rotation plane of the adjustment shaft ninety degrees and transfers the rotational movement to the leg rod so that the leg rod realizes a rotational movement. 
     
     
         3 . The built-in home appliance of  claim 1 , wherein the movement transfer mechanism comprises a worm screw through which the adjustment shaft passes and which rotates around its own axis together with the adjustment shaft; a gear through which the leg rod passes and which rotates around its own axis together with the leg rod; and a threaded wheel which transfers the rotation movement of the worm screw to the gear to thereby rotate the leg rod around its own axis together with the gear. 
     
     
         4 . The built-in home appliance of  claim 1 , further comprising a housing which is embodied on the worm screw, said adjustment shaft having a rotation end which is connected to the housing and shaped for coupling with the housing. 
     
     
         5 . The built-in home appliance of  claim 1 , wherein the adjustment shaft has a turning end shaped to allow application of a screwing apparatus and to facilitate a rotation of the adjustment shaft by the screwing apparatus. 
     
     
         6 . The built-in home appliance of  claim 3 , wherein the movement transfer mechanism has a connection piece on which the threaded wheel is positioned. 
     
     
         7 . The built-in home appliance of  claim 1 , wherein the leg rod comprises a leg screw and an adjustment extension as a continuation of the leg screw. 
     
     
         8 . The built-in home appliance of  claim 3 , further comprising a bearing through which said adjustment extension passes and which is embodied on the gear; said connection piece having an opening concentric with the bearing. 
     
     
         9 . The built-in home appliance of  claim 6 , wherein the threaded wheel is embodied on the connection piece, for transferring a movement of the worm screw to the gear. 
     
     
         10 . The built-in home appliance of  claim 3 , wherein the gear has a seating surface on which the threaded wheel is placed. 
     
     
         11 . The built-in home appliance of  claim 3 , wherein the movement transfer mechanism comprises a mechanism body comprising at least one gear housing for receiving the gear;
 and at least one screw housing for receiving the worm screw.   
     
     
         12 . The built-in home appliance of  claim 11 , wherein the mechanism body has a connection housing which is embodied on said mechanism body and cooperates with a complementary connection housing on the connection piece. 
     
     
         13 . The built-in home appliance of  claim 12 , further comprising at least one connection member for connecting the connection piece to the mechanism body via the complementing connection housings. 
     
     
         14 . The built-in home appliance of  claim 11 , wherein the mechanism body has at least one upper opening and at least one lower opening. 
     
     
         15 . The built-in home appliance of  claim 14 , wherein the gear has a lower extension received in the lower opening, and an upper extension received in the upper opening. 
     
     
         16 . The built-in home appliance of  claim 1 , further comprising at least one fixation plate for connecting the movement transfer mechanism onto a panel. 
     
     
         17 . The built-in home appliance of  claim 11 , wherein the mechanism body has at least one connection extension, and further comprising at least one fixation plate for connecting the movement transfer mechanism onto a panel, said fixation plate having at least one connection opening for receiving the connection extension. 
     
     
         18 . The built-in home appliance of  claim 1 , wherein the movement transfer mechanism comprises a first conical gear through which the adjustment shaft passes and which rotates together with the adjustment shaft around its own axis; said movement transfer mechanism comprising a second conical gear to which the first conical gear transfers a movement thereof and through which the leg rod passes to thereby rotate the leg rod around its own axis.
