Freely installable cooker

Abstract

A freely installable cooker includes a first functional module for treatment of food products; a support structure of said functional module comprising: a lower base; a containment structure that extends vertically from the base and including two opposing side walls and a bottom wall which extends between the two side walls; said side walls comprising guide means of insertion and extraction of said first functional module; and connection means of said base and said containing structure comprising: engagement means and housing means of said engagement means; said engagement means and said housing means being afforded where one is in said base and the other is in said support structure; the connection between said engagement means and said housing means occurring at least at the junction zones of the two side walls with the base and at a junction zone of the bottom wall and said base.

1 . Freely installable cooker comprising:
 i) a first functional module for treatment of at least one of dishes and food products;   ii) a support structure of said first functional module;   
       characterized in that said support structure comprises:
 a lower base; 
 a containment structure which extends vertically from the lower base and includes two opposing side walls and a bottom wall defined between the two opposing side walls; said opposing side walls including a guide means of insertion and extraction of said first functional module; and 
 reciprocal connection means of said lower base and said containment structure including: engagement means and housing means of said engagement means; one of said engagement means and said housing means being afforded in said base and the other of said engagement means and said housing means in said containment structure; a connection between said engagement means and said housing means occurring at least at junction zones of the two side walls with the lower base and in a junction zone of the bottom wall and said lower base. 
 
     
     
         2 . The freely installable cooker of  claim 1 , characterized in that the engagement means includes elastic deformation means attachable in the housing means. 
     
     
         3 . The freely installable cooker of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 activation means for controlling said first functional module, said activation means being disposed on the bottom wall and being activatable in a first configuration wherein the first functional module is correctly connected with the containment structure.   
     
     
         4 . The freely installable cooker of  claim 3 , characterized in that the activation means defines a second configuration wherein the activation means prevents activation of the first functional module; the first configuration occurring on reaching a limit stop of the first functional module along the guide means. 
     
     
         5 . The freely installable cooker of  claim 3 , characterized in that said activation means includes a knob which is adapted to assume a first position wherein the knob prevents power from being supplied to the first module, and a second position wherein power is selectively supplied to the first module; the activation means comprising a tab which, in a blocking formation, prevents rotation of the knob from the first position to the second position and, in an activation formation, allows rotation of the knob from the first position to the second position; the second position of the knob being assumed in said first formation when the first module reaches limit stop and moves the tab from the blocking formation to the activation formation, allowing rotation of the knob; the knob being solidly joined to a stem which in turn includes at least first and second contacts; in the second position of the knob the first contact defines an electrical communication between said stem and a power supply source afforded on the structure, and the second contact defines an electrical communication between said stem and said first module. 
     
     
         6 . The freely installable cooker of  claim 3 , characterized in that the bottom wall includes:
 a frame defining an opening; and   infill material which closes the opening, said activation means being applied to said infill material; said infill material including said activation means.   
     
     
         7 . The freely installable cooker of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a groove defined at the junction zones of the two opposing side walls with the base and at the junction zone of the bottom wall and said lower base; said groove being defined at least by:   a first side in which said housing means are disposed; and   a second side, the engagement means being insertable between the first and the second sides.   
     
     
         8 . The freely installable cooker of  claim 1 , characterized in that the guide means are additional elements applied with attachment means to remaining parts of the two side walls. 
     
     
         9 . The freely installable cooker of  claim 1 , characterized in that the guide means are integrated into the two side walls. 
     
     
         10 . The freely installable cooker of  claim 9 , characterized in that the side walls include a sandwich structure that includes:
 outer cladding;   inner cladding; and   interposed thermal insulation; the inner cladding defining the guide means.
