Abstract

A control panel for household appliances is described, such as cookers and ovens which may be electrically fed or by gas, or even washing machines, clothes-driers, dish washers or similar equipments, being provided with a movable front portion (1) capable of being retracted from a usual rest position, while the apparatus is working and the control units (4, 5) can not be reached, to a recessed position for operating the controls only. When in said usual position, to which it can return by a simple action of further pushing by means of the known "push-push" system, the front panel (1) is substantially co-planar with the surrounding surface, thus preventing from knocks or undesirable operations of the control units (4, 5). At the retracted position the upper side (3) of the control panel (1) may be shaped graspable to act as a handle for opening the appliance door.
