Description

The present invention relates to a strip device for a hob device comprising at least one strip body with at least one connection side and at least one connecting element for connecting at least one section of the connection side to at least one positioning device of the hob device. The connection side has at least one lower section with at least one lower boundary surface and at least one upper section with at least one upper boundary surface, the connecting element being arranged at least in sections on the lower boundary surface. The present invention also relates to a hob system and a method for installing a hob system.

Design and ease of use are playing an increasingly important role in modern kitchens. In the field of cooktops, too, increasing demands are being placed on the visual appearance as well as on easy cleaning.

A large number of hobs for heating cookware are known which comprise at least one support element for setting up cookware to be heated. Usually such a positioning element, e.g. B. made of glass ceramic at least partially arranged above a worktop of a kitchen unit or a cooking island and / or is partially integrated into the worktop. Individual or all side surfaces or edges of the positioning element are often covered with strips or a frame to protect the side surfaces from damage, e.g. B. mechanical impact and / or to achieve a visually appealing design.

Such known protective and / or decorative strips are usually next to the positioning element by means of an adhesive such. B. a double-sided tape and / or attached to the worktop. Such known strips function largely expediently.

The disadvantage of such known strips, however, is that when cladding the mounting element, there is often a gap or joint between the mounting element of the hob and the strip arranged next to it, into which dirt and other contaminants can penetrate and which is difficult to clean is. Therefore, in known hob systems, which comprise at least one hob and at least one strip arranged next to it, such a joint or joint is often created in an additional work step. such a gap between the positioning element and the adjacent bar with z. B. silicone or the like sealed or sealed.

Such a seal is not only associated with additional material and time expenditure, but also requires technical skill in order to achieve a reliable and visually appealing seal between the installation device and the strip. Such a minimum level of manual skills cannot be provided by an average customer on a regular basis.

Another disadvantage of known strips is that they are often glued to and/or on the worktop, so that when the hob is expanded, e.g. B. maintenance and / or repair purposes can damage the worktop or the expansion of the hob is even impossible.

It is therefore the object of the present invention to provide a strip device which enables simple, particularly subsequent installation next to a hob device, which has a visually appealing design and, when installed, reliably protects a lateral area of a positioning device from dirt and damage.

This object is achieved by the strip device with the features of claim 1, the hob system with the features of claim 7 and the method for installing a hob system with the features of claim 15. Preferred developments of the invention are the subject matter of the dependent claims. Further advantages and features of the invention result from the exemplary embodiments.

The strip device according to the invention for a hob device comprises at least one strip body with at least one connection side and at least one connecting element for connecting at least one section of the connection side to at least one positioning device of the hob device. The connection side has at least one lower section with at least one lower boundary surface and at least one upper section with at least one upper boundary surface, the connecting element being arranged at least in sections on the lower boundary surface. The connection side forms a projection, at least in the upper section, which at least protrudes from the strip body.

The connection side is preferably a side and/or wall which delimits the strip body laterally or to one side and via which, in a mounted state of the strip device, at least one connection and/or contact to the Installation device is provided. The connection side preferably faces the set-up device in a mounted state of the strip device. In particular, the connection side shows the strip device to the hob device in a mounted state. In expedient developments, the connection side provides a contact side and/or inside when the strip device is in a mounted state.

In particular, a boundary surface is a surface which, when the strip device is in a mounted state, is at least in sections essentially parallel to at least one side surface of the positioning device.

The connection side of the strip body preferably comprises and/or forms a projection at least above the connection element. In particular, the strip body has a projection.

In expedient developments, the projection at least projects out of the strip body at least on the connection side or on the contact side or on the inside.

Protruding is to be understood as meaning in particular protruding.

In advantageous developments, the projection is suitable and designed to prevent liquid, dirt and/or other contaminants from penetrating into an area between a positioning device and the strip device when the strip device is in a mounted state, in particular in a region in which the connecting element is arranged is to be reduced or even prevented altogether.

In expedient refinements, the projection is suitable and designed for this, in an assembled state of the strip device, at least in sections, in particular a lateral distance from at least one section of a side surface of the positioning device of less than 500 μm, in particular less than 200 μm, preferably less than 100 μm and completely more preferably less than 50 microns or even less. This not only reduces or even essentially prevents the penetration of liquid, dirt and/or other contaminants into an area below the projection, but also facilitates the cleaning of a hob system comprising at least one positioning device and at least one strip device. A visually appealing design of a hob system can also be made possible in this way.

The strip body is preferably formed from metal and/or a metal alloy. The strip body can be solid and/or hollow.

The strip body is preferably surface-treated. In particular, the strip body is surface-coated or has at least one coating on at least one of its sides and/or surfaces.

In advantageous developments, the strip body is coated by means of gas phase deposition, in particular by means of a physical gas phase deposition process.

In advantageous developments, the strip body has a coating with a layer thickness of less than 30 μm. Depending on the task and design, the layer thickness of the coating can also be greater than 30 μm. In particular, the strip body has a black coating at least in sections. The coating is preferably formed at least partially from carbon, for example amorphous carbon, in particular from “diamond-like carbon” (also referred to as a DLC coating). In particular, the coating protects the body of the last from scratches, abrasion and agents. Other thin carbon coatings are, for example, plasma polymer layers, CVD diamond layers and/or graphite layers. CVD coatings are also known as chemical vapor deposition or chemical vapor deposition. As a result, high-quality wear-resistant surfaces can be provided.

The strip body preferably has an extension along its length in the range from 2 m to 0.2 m. In particular, the strip body has an extension along its width in the range of 5 to 0.5 cm. The strip body preferably has an extension along its height in the range from 5 cm to 0.1 cm. In particular, the height of the strip body essentially corresponds to the height of the positioning device of the hob device. Depending on the task and design, the strip body can also have a larger or smaller extent along its length and/or height and/or width.

The projection preferably has an extension along the height of the strip body in the range from 1 mm to 0.2 mm, preferably in the range from 0.25 mm to 0.75 mm and in particular 0.4 mm.

In expedient developments, the positioning device is formed from a glass ceramic and/or is provided at least in sections by a glass ceramic.

The standing device preferably has at least one standing surface for standing cookware.

The positioning device is preferably cuboid, in particular at least one side face and/or at least one edge of the positioning device being rounded.

Preferably, at least one boundary surface of the positioning device is convex at least in sections.

In expedient developments, the connecting element is provided by an adhesive layer, a continuous and/or discontinuous adhesive film or adhesive layer and/or something similarly suitable.

The connecting element is preferably provided at least in sections by a double-sided adhesive tape.

The connecting element preferably extends essentially over the length of the strip body, in particular over the length of the connection side of the strip body.

The connecting element particularly preferably has a width or lateral extension in the range from 0.3 mm to 1.2 mm, preferably in the range from 0.45 to 0.9 mm or in particular 0.6 mm.

The connecting element is preferably arranged at least in sections on the lower boundary surface and is connected to it. In particular, when the strip device is in a non-assembled state, the connecting element is covered at least in sections by a protective film, so that an adhesive layer and/or adhesive section is protected. In expedient developments, the connecting element is at least partially elastically deformable.

The strip device according to the invention has many advantages. A significant advantage is that the connection side of the strip device forms a projection, at least in the upper section, which at least protrudes from the strip body.

As a result, the strip device can be arranged next to a support device of a hob device in such a way that, when the strip device is installed, a lateral distance between the strip device and a side surface or a lateral edge of the support device, particularly in the upper section, is significantly reduced and preferably even minimized.

Thus, in a mounted state of the strip device, a lateral or lateral dimension of a gap or a joint next to the positioning device, in particular one Reduced or even minimized the gap between the positioning device and the bar device. Consequently, the strip device reduces or prevents deposits of dirt or other contaminants in such a joint or such a gap and therefore, in an assembled state, contributes significantly to simple and user-friendly cleaning of a cooking system comprising at least one strip device and at least one hob device with a positioning device .

In particular, the strip device enables such a gap to be largely sealed against the ingress of dirt and/or other contaminants, in that the projection and/or the upper boundary surface in particular touches a side surface of the positioning device and/or nestles against a lateral edge of the positioning device. Sealing of a visible area, in particular the upper one, between the positioning device and the strip device by means of an additional sealing agent, such as e.g. B. Silicone is therefore usually not necessary.

Thus, in a mounted state, the strip device reliably protects a lateral area of a positioning device from dirt and/or damage.

Furthermore, the projection in the upper section of the connection side enables, in particular, lateral attachment of the strip device by means of a connection element, which is arranged in a lower section of the connection side and, e.g. B. is provided by a double-sided adhesive tape on a side surface of the installation device. Thus, an attachment of the bar device, z. B. by gluing on and / or on the worktop is not necessary. Consequently, such a fastening between the strip device and the worktop does not have to be released when the hob device is removed, in particular for repair and/or maintenance work. This significantly reduces the risk of damage to the worktop and/or the installation device when removing the hob device and makes the strip device according to the invention particularly advantageous.

At the same time, the lateral distance between the side surface of the positioning device and the strip device, particularly in the upper section, is significantly reduced or even minimized by means of the projection. A reduction and/or minimization of the lateral distance between the side surface of the positioning device and the slat device is also made possible in particular in the case of a lateral connection of the slat device to the side surface of the positioning device.

Thus, the strip device can be mounted next to a cooktop device by an average customer in a particularly simple, practical and visually appealing manner.

Due to the fact that the projection reduces a lateral distance of a gap between the positioning device and the strip device and, in particular, largely seals against the ingress of dirt, a visually particularly attractive upper visible area is realized between the positioning device and the strip device.

Other areas of the strip body can be adapted to the visual or design ideas and/or wishes of the customer, so that the strip device enables a visually particularly attractive configuration, in particular of a hob system.

The projection preferably extends essentially over a length of the strip body. As a result, when the strip device is in an assembled state, a side surface of the positioning device is protected from dirt and damage, in particular over its entire length.

Preferably, the projection extends substantially the length of the connection side of the strip body.

The strip body particularly preferably has at least one upper side and at least one lower side, the upper side and the lower side being aligned parallel to one another at least in sections. As a result, the strip device can be arranged in a particularly simple and visually appealing manner next to a positioning device of a hob device, in particular on a worktop.

In this case, the upper side is in particular a side and/or wall which delimits the strip body upwards at least in sections and is aligned essentially parallel to the installation surface of the installation device when the strip device is in a mounted state.

In this case, the underside is in particular a side and/or wall which delimits the strip body at the bottom and is aligned essentially parallel to the installation surface of the installation device when the strip device is in a mounted state. In particular, the underside is at least partially in contact and/or connected to at least one portion of a worktop of a kitchen unit or cooking island.

In expedient developments, the strip body has an outside, a front side or front side and/or a rear side.

In this case, an outer side is in particular a side and/or wall which delimits the strip body laterally or to one side and essentially faces away from the positioning device in a mounted state of the strip device.

The rear and/or the front or front provides in particular a side and/or wall which delimits the strip body laterally or to one side and essentially faces away from the positioning device in a mounted state of the strip device.

Preferably, each of the sides of the body of the ledge provides a surface.

The lower boundary surface is particularly preferably designed to be concave, at least in sections. As a result, the strip device can nestle up against a convex side surface of a positioning device, at least in sections.

In expedient developments, the concave design of the lower boundary surface is provided by at least one circular arc section. In particular, the circular arc section has a radius in the range from 2 mm to 5 mm, preferably in the range between 3 mm and 4 mm and in particular a radius of 3.7 mm. Depending on the task and configuration, the concave configuration can be formed by a plurality of circular arc sections and/or at least one circular arc section can have a larger or smaller radius.

Preferably, the strip device, in particular the projection and/or the upper delimiting surface, is suitable and designed to lie essentially flush on a side surface of the positioning device at least in sections when the strip device is in a mounted state.

Preferably, the strip device, in particular the projection and/or the upper delimiting surface, is suitable and designed to rest exclusively laterally on the positioning device, in particular a side surface of the positioning device, or to touch it when the strip device is installed.

At least one edge and/or at least one corner of the strip body is preferably rounded off and/or at least one edge provides at least one edge surface. In this way, a particularly attractive design of the strip device is achieved in particular.

Preferably, at least one corner of the strip body provides a corner surface.

In advantageous developments, at least one edge surface faces at least one adjacent or adjoining surface, in particular a surface on the top and/or a surface on the outside and/or a surface on the front and/or a surface on the back and/or a surface on the underside and /or a surface of the connection side has an angle in the range between 20 and 70°, preferably an angle between 30 and 60°, particularly preferably an angle of 45°.

In expedient developments, the strip body has no edge surface on at least one edge between the underside and the connecting side and is also not rounded off there.

Preferably, the projection, in particular the upper boundary surface, is trapezoidal at least in sections due to the edge surfaces provided by the edges of the strip body.

Particularly preferably, the projection provides a lateral offset from the upper delimiting surface to the lower delimiting surface, which is adapted to the lateral expansion of the connecting element.

In this context, adapted is to be understood in particular as meaning that when the strip device is in a mounted state, the connecting element can bring about a connection between the positioning device and the strip body.

As a result, in an assembled state of the strip device, in particular in an assembled state in which the strip device is connected laterally to a side surface of the positioning device by means of a connecting element, dirt and/or liquid can be prevented particularly effectively from penetrating into an area between the strip device and the positioning device .

The hob system according to the invention comprises at least one strip device as described above and at least one hob device with at least one positioning device for positioning cookware on at least one positioning surface and with at least one heating device for heating positioned cookware.

The hob device is preferably suitable and designed to be installed at least in sections in a recess in a worktop of a kitchen unit or cooking island.

In particular, the installation device is suitable and designed to be embedded at least in sections in a depression and/or recess of a worktop, so that the installation surface is essentially in one plane with the surface of the Worktop is arranged. Depending on the task and configuration, it is also possible for the positioning device to be arranged at least in sections on the worktop of a kitchen unit or cooking island.

The hob system according to the invention also has the advantages of the strip device described above. In particular, a lateral area of the positioning device, preferably an area between the positioning device and the strip device, is reliably protected from dirt and damage.

Particularly preferably, the connecting element connects, at least in sections, a side surface of the positioning device with at least the lower boundary surface of the strip body. In this context, connection is to be understood as meaning in particular gluing or gluing or the like.

In expedient developments, the strip device rests essentially flush on at least one side surface of the positioning device, at least in sections.

In advantageous further developments, the strip device rests exclusively on the side of the positioning device, in particular on a side surface of the positioning device. In particular, in an assembled state of the strip device, at least the connecting element connects at least in sections a side surface of the positioning device with at least the lower boundary surface of the strip body.

Preferably, at least the connecting element and/or at least the upper delimiting surface rests essentially flush at least in sections on at least one side surface of the positioning device.

At least the installation surface of the installation device and a surface of the upper side of the strip device are particularly preferably arranged essentially in one plane.

In this case, the upper side is in particular a side and/or wall which delimits the strip body upwards at least in sections and is aligned essentially parallel to the installation surface of the installation device when the strip device is in a mounted state. Preferably, the top has at least one surface.

The standing device preferably provides at least one standing surface for standing cookware.

The lower boundary surface is preferably shaped at least in sections so as to be complementary to at least one section of the side surface of the positioning device.

In this context, complementarily shaped is to be understood as meaning, in particular, oppositely shaped. Preferably, at least sections of the lower boundary surface have a shape that forms a negative of the shape of at least one section of the side surface of the positioning device, so that at least these sections complement one another and/or are form-fitting to one another, preferably fitting into one another.

In particularly preferred developments, the projection provides the upper boundary surface, with the upper boundary surface having a lateral distance from at least a section of the side surface of the positioning device of less than 500 μm, in particular less than 200 μm, preferably less than 100 μm, particularly preferably less than 505 tens of micrometers or less.

In expedient developments, the projection provides the upper delimiting surface, with the upper delimiting surface forming the surface of the side surface of the positioning device at least in sections.

In particular, the upper boundary surface touches the side surface of the positioning device at least in sections, so that the ingress of liquid dirt and/or other contaminants into an area between the positioning device and the strip device, in particular into an area in which the connecting element is arranged, is reduced or even completely prevented becomes.

In this context, touching is to be understood as meaning in particular snuggling up and/or being in contact.

The positioning device is preferably laterally enclosed at least in sections by at least two strip devices.

Enclosed in sections is to be understood as meaning in particular framed in sections.

Preferably, the positioning device is laterally surrounded by at least one strip device on at least two, in particular opposite or parallel side walls, so that in particular the connecting side of each of the strip devices provides an inner side.

Preferably, the positioning device is enclosed laterally on each of its side walls by at least one strip device.

In expedient developments, the positioning device is framed by strip devices on each of its side walls, so that the connection side of each of the strip devices provides an inside or contact side.

The method according to the invention for assembling a hob system, as described above, comprises the following steps: arranging the strip device next to a side surface of the positioning device, so that the connection side faces the side surface; aligning the slat means so that the bond face is substantially parallel to the side face; Connecting the connecting element of the strip device to the side surface by pressing the strip device onto the side surface.

In figure 1 is shown purely schematically an embodiment of a strip device 1 according to the invention in a view from the front.

The strip device 1 for a hob device 100 here comprises a strip body 2 with a connection side 3 and a connecting element 4 for connecting a section of the connection side 3 to a positioning device 101 of the hob device 100.

In the exemplary embodiment illustrated here, the strip body 2 has, in addition to the connection side 3, an upper side 11, an outer side 18, an underside 12, a front or front side 19 and a rear side, which is not shown in detail here. Here, the top 11 and the bottom 12 of the strip body 2 are arranged parallel to one another.

The strip body 2 has a height 17 and a width 16 here.

In the exemplary embodiment illustrated here, the strip body 1 has a coating which was applied to the surfaces of the strip body here by means of a physical vapor phase deposition process. The coating here is formed by a "diamond-like carbon" layer, which increases the scratch and abrasion resistance of the strip body 2 here.

In the exemplary embodiment illustrated here, the connection side 3 comprises a lower section 5 and an upper section 7. The lower section 5 here has a lower boundary surface 6, which is concave here. Here the concave shape of the lower boundary surface 6 is formed by a circular arc section with a radius of 3.7 mm. Depending on the task and design, the concave shape of the lower boundary surface 6 can also be formed by a circular arc section with a different radius. It is also possible for the lower boundary surface 6 to simulate, at least in sections, the contour of a side surface 103 of a positioning device 101 or at least to be adapted to the shape of a section of a side surface 103, so that the lower boundary surface 6 forms, at least in sections, a negative of the shape of the side surface 103 .

A connecting element 4 is arranged on the lower delimiting surface 6 here, which is designed here as a double-sided adhesive tape and, when the strip device is in an installed state, enables the strip device 1 to be connected to a positioning device 101 .

In the exemplary embodiment shown here, the connection side 3 forms a projection 9 in the upper section 7, which protrudes from the strip body 2 here. In this way, when the strip device 1 is in a mounted state, the projection 9 can reduce or even completely prevent the ingress of dirt and/or liquid into an area between the positioning device 101 and the strip device 1, in particular into an area in which the connecting element 4 is arranged. Here, too, the strip device 1 in an assembled state can have a positioning device 101 protected against damage, e.g. B. protect against mechanical impact.

In the exemplary embodiment shown here, the projection 9 provides the upper boundary surface 8 . A lateral offset 20 from the upper delimiting surface 8 to the lower delimiting surface 6 is thus provided here by the projection 9 . Here, a dimension of the lateral offset 20 is adapted to the width 21 of the connecting element 4 or the lateral extension of the connecting element 4 . This form here the upper boundary surface 8 and the lower boundary surface 6 facing away from the surface of the connecting element 4 has a largely continuous circular arc section, which z. B. makes it possible for the strip device 1 to be able to be pressed against a side surface 103 of a positioning device 101 in an assembled state essentially over a large area.

In figure 2 a further exemplary embodiment of a strip device 1 according to the invention with a strip body 2 and a connecting element 4 is shown in a purely schematic view from the side.

As in figure 1 the strip body 2 here includes a connection side 3 , the connection side 3 having a lower section 5 with a lower boundary surface 6 and an upper section 7 with an upper boundary surface 8 .

The connecting element 4, which is provided here by a double-sided adhesive tape, is arranged on the lower boundary surface 6 here.

The strip body 2 has a height 17 and a length 10 here.

As in figure 1 Here, too, the connecting side 3 has a projection 9 in the upper section 7 , which protrudes laterally from the strip body 2 here. Depending on the task and configuration, the projection 9 can also protrude upwards out of the strip body 2 .

The projection 9 extends here over the length 10 of the strip body 2, over which the connecting element 4 is arranged on the lower boundary surface 6 here.

Due to the fact that the projection 9 protrudes or protrudes laterally from the strip body above the connecting element 4 and extends over the length 10, the projection 9 can prevent dirt and/or liquid from penetrating into an area when the strip device 1 is in an assembled state between the positioning device 101 and the strip device 1, in particular in an area in which the connecting element 4 is arranged, can be reduced or even completely prevented. Also, the strip device 1 in an assembled state can have a positioning device 101 against damage, e.g. B. mechanical impact.

In figure 3 an exemplary embodiment of a hob system 200 according to the invention with a strip device 1 according to the invention is shown purely schematically in a view from above.

The hob system 200 here comprises two strip devices 1 and a hob device 100 with at least one positioning device 101 for positioning cookware on a positioning surface 102 and with at least one heating device 104 for heating positioned cookware. Depending on the task and design, the positioning device 101 can rest at least in sections on a worktop and/or a recess in the worktop.

In the exemplary embodiment shown here, a strip device 1 is arranged on each of two opposite side surfaces 103 of the positioning device 101 . The two strip devices 1 are here each in an assembled state, in which the strip device 1 is connected to a side surface 103 of a positioning device 101 by means of the connecting element 4 on the connection side or on the inside and/or on the contact side.

In the exemplary embodiment shown here, each of the strip devices 1 has a length 10, which here largely corresponds to the extent of the side surface 103 along this direction.

In the assembled state of the strip device 1 shown here, the strip device 1 protects the side surface 103 or a lateral edge of the positioning device 101 from damage, e.g. B. mechanical action. The strip device 1 also largely prevents dirt or other contaminants from penetrating into a gap or crack between the strip device 1 and the positioning device 101.

The strip device 1 was mounted here on the side surface 103 of the installation device using the method according to the invention.

In figure 4 Another exemplary embodiment of a hob system 200 according to the invention with a strip device 1 and a hob device 100 is shown purely schematically in a view from the front.

The strip device 1 is here in a non-assembled state. A transfer of a bar device in an assembled state, as z. B. purely schematic in figure 3 , 5 6 and 7 is shown, can be done here by means of the inventive method for installing a hob system.

The hob device 100 here comprises a positioning device 101 for positioning cookware on a positioning surface 102 and a heating device 104 (not shown here in detail) for heating positioned cookware.

The positioning device here includes a side surface 103, which is convex in shape here. Depending on the task and design, the side surface 103 can also be designed in a different shape. It is e.g. For example, it is possible for the installation device 101 to be cuboid, with all side surfaces 103 being aligned orthogonally to the installation surface 102 . It is also possible for a transition between the installation surface 102 and the side surface to be rounded.

The strip device 1 here includes a connecting element 4 and a strip body 2 with a connection side 3. The strip body 2 also has a top 11, an outside 18, a bottom 12, a front 19 and a rear not shown here. Each of these sides provides at least one area.

As in figure 1 Here, too, the connecting side 3 has a projection 9 in the upper section 7 , which protrudes laterally from the strip body 2 here. Here the projection 9 provides the upper boundary surface 8 .

The upper and lower boundary surfaces 6, 8 are concave here in sections, so that the strip device 1 is suitable and designed here to lie flush against the side surface 103 of the positioning device 101, which is designed convex here.

The lower boundary surface 6 is designed to be complementary to a section of the side surface 103 here.

In figure 5 Another exemplary embodiment of a hob system 200 according to the invention with a strip device 1 and a hob device 100 is shown purely schematically in a view from the front.

The strip device 1 and the hob device 100 are here as in the exemplary embodiment in figure 4 executed. However, here the strip device 1 is in an assembled state, in which the strip device 1 is connected to a side surface 103 of the positioning device 101 by means of the connecting element 4 .

In the exemplary embodiment shown here, the strip device rests flush against a side face 103 of the positioning device 101 . Both the connecting element 4 and the upper delimiting surface 8 touch or are in contact with the side surface 103 of the positioning device 101 here. This prevents dirt and/or liquid from penetrating into an area between installation device 101 and strip device 1, in particular in a region in which the connecting element 4 is arranged, particularly effectively reduce or even completely prevent. The strip device 1 also protects the side surface 103 of the positioning device 101 from damage by e.g. B. mechanical action.

Depending on the task and design, in a mounted state of the strip device 1 only the connecting element 4 but not the upper boundary surface 8 can touch the side surface 103 . Thus, the upper boundary surface 8 can have a lateral distance from an opposite section of the side surface 103 of the positioning device 101 of, e.g. B. less than 500 microns. This also effectively reduces the ingress of dirt and/or liquid into an area between the positioning device 101 and the strip device 1 .

The installation area 102 and an area of the upper side are in one plane here. This makes cleaning the hob system particularly simple and user-friendly. The arrangement of the surface of the upper side 11 and the installation surface 102 also enables a cooktop system 200 to have a particularly attractive optical design.

In figure 6 Another exemplary embodiment of a hob system 200 according to the invention with a strip device 1 and a hob device 100 is shown purely schematically in a view from the front.

Here, too, the cooktop device 100 comprises a positioning device 101 for placing cookware on a placement surface 102 and a heating device 104 (not shown in detail here) for heating cookware that has been placed there.

As in figure 5 Here the strip device 1 is in an assembled state and comprises a connecting element 4 and a strip body 2 with a connection side 3.

Furthermore, here the strip body 2 includes a top 11, an outside 18, a bottom 12, a front 19 and a back not shown here. Each of these sides provides at least one area.

In the embodiment shown here, the edges 13 at the transitions between two sides of the strip body 2, such as. B. between top and front, top and back, top and outside, top and connection side, etc., each have an edge surface 15 ready. Here, too, the corners 14 of the strip body 2 each provide a corner surface 22 . Only the edge 13 at the transition between the connection side 3 and the underside 12 does not provide an edge surface here and is also not rounded here.

As in figure 1 Here, too, the connecting side 3 has a projection 9 in the upper section 7 , which protrudes laterally from the strip body 2 here. Here the projection 9 provides the upper boundary surface 8 .

The upper delimiting surface 8 and the connecting element 4 touch or contact the side surface 103 of the positioning device 101 over a large area. In this way, penetration of dirt and/or liquid into an area between the positioning device 101 and the strip device 1, in particular into an area in which the connecting element 4 is arranged, is particularly effectively reduced or even completely prevented.

In figure 7 a further exemplary embodiment of a hob system 200 according to the invention with a strip device 1 and a hob device 100 is shown purely schematically in a view from the front.

As in figure 6 Here, too, the connecting side 3 has a projection 9 in the upper section 7 , which protrudes laterally from the strip body 2 here. Here the projection 9 provides the upper boundary surface 8 .

The upper delimiting surface 8 and the connecting element 4 touch or contact the side surface 103 of the positioning device 101 over a large area.

In the embodiment illustrated here, the edges 13 have an edge surface 15 and the corners 14 provide a corner surface 22 . Here the edge surfaces 15 and corner surfaces 22 have an angle of 45° to the adjacent surfaces. Because the edges 13 of the projection 9 and the corners 14 of the projection 9 each have edge surfaces 16 and corner surfaces 22 here, a strip device 1 with a particularly visually appealing design is provided here. Furthermore, a projection 9, which provides edge surfaces 15 and corner surfaces, enables a particularly simple and thorough cleaning of a transitional area between the upright device 101 and the strip device 1 of the hob system 200. Depending on the task and design, the edges 13 and/or corners 14 of the Strip device 1 can also be rounded. It is also possible that the edge 13 between the connecting side 3 and the underside 12 is not rounded and also does not provide an edge surface 15 .

In figure 8 is a purely schematic representation of another exemplary embodiment of a strip device 1 according to the invention with a strip body 2 and a connecting element 4 in a side view.

In the exemplary embodiment illustrated here, the edges 13 of the strip body 2 have an edge surface 15 and the corners 14 of the strip body 2 provide a corner surface 22 . Here the edge surfaces 15 and corner surfaces 22 have an angle of 45° to the adjacent surfaces. Depending on the task and design, the edge surfaces 15 and the corner surfaces 22 can also have a different angle to adjacent surfaces. Adjacent surfaces are provided here by the connecting side 3, the top 11, the bottom 12, the outside 18, the front 19 and the back. The lower delimiting surface 6 and the upper delimiting surface, which is provided here by the projection 9, can also be or provide such adjacent surfaces.
