Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a driving assembly or unit for opening the port-hole door of washing machines and the like.
  • a main problem in making wash­ing machines is that of properly articulating the front port-hole door of the machine so as to allow for said port-hole door to be opened either right­ward or leftward, depending on the requirements.
  • the task of the present in­vention is to overcome the above mentioned drawbacks, by providing a driving assembly or unit for opening the port-hole door of washing machines and the like, which affords the possibility of modifying, in the washing machine making shop, the port-hole door open­ing direction, without the need of carrying out com­plex structural modifications.
  • a main object of the present invention is to provide such a driving assembly the component ele­ments of which can be efficiently standardized so as to afford the possibility of changing the wash­ing machine port-hole door opening direction by simply modifying the installation of said component elements.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide such a driving assembly which is very safe and reliable in operation and can be assembled in a quick way at a comparatively low cost.
  • a driving assembly for opening the port-hole door of a washing machine and the like, characterized in that said driving assembly comprises a rocker lever housed in­side the frame of the port-hole of said washing machine and adapted to swing about a middle portion thereof, said rocker level being provided, at one end thereof, with a hook member removably engageable in a recess formed on said washing machine cabinet and, at the other end thereof, cooperating with a driving small block adapted to be driven by push buttons arranged on the top of said washing machine cabinet.
  • the driving assembly or unit for opening the port-hole door of washing machines and the like comprises a rocker lever, indicated overally at the reference number 1, which, at the middle portion thereof, is provided with a bush 2 for pivoting said lever on a corresponding pin 3 arranged inside the region defined by the frame 4 of the port-hole 5.
  • the frame 4 is peripheral­ly applied to a glass holder ring member 6 which, at its middle portion, supports a glass plate, in­dicated overally at the reference number 7, of con­ventional configuration.
  • a main feature of the present invention is that the mentioned lever substantially extends within a circumference sector in such a way that the end portions of said lever are arranged at 90° with respect to the circumferential extension of the port-hole.
  • the rocker lever 1 is provided with a hook member 10 which is removably engaged in a recess 11, defined by a frame or template 12 the shape of which substantially corresponds to that of the template 14 for the port-hole hinge.
  • the rocker lever 11 is provided with a lug 15 which projects, through a shaped slot, from the port-hole and penetrates inside the washing machine cabinet 13 as clearly shown in Figure 5, at the top portion of the port-­hole.
  • lug 15 which, at its free end,is provided with a slanted bevel 16, co­operates a driving small block 20, displaceable in a vertical plane and which, at its top end, cooperates with a driving push-button 21 for opening the port-­hole door;
  • this push-button is provided, in its in­side, with a sliding slanted surface 22 adapted for engaging with the top end of said small block 20 as the port-hole door is in a closed condition.
  • the port-hole door can be opened exclusively upon disengaging the electric­al contacts and, hence, after having actuated the push-button 30 it will be possible to actuate the push-button 21 in order to cause the small block 20 to downward displace because of the coupling of the sliding slanted surface 22 with the top end of said small block 20.
  • the port-hole door has its hinge arranged at a right position and the hook member at a left position and, accordingly, the door will be opened by a closkwise rotation.
