Definitions
- the following invention consists of an union system between the frame and the crystal of washing machines doors, being destined for the known hinged washing machines doors that have a frame like a circular crown, being the crystal that form a concavity to the exterior fixed to it, and remaining the corresponding beautifying element at the external part of the whole frame-crystal, so that the union between the frame and the crystal is materialized by an adhesive, obtaining an interlocked union in which a whole of protuberances of the own frame collaborate, contributing they to the support of the crystal since they get its fitting, making easy its manipulation since the assembly moment.
- the manipulation of the whole frame-crystal is allowed since the same moment in which the assembly of both is materialized, since the cited protuberances support the crystal impeding any movement of the same one, so that the fixing by means of the adhesive is done without not any problem, not being necessary periods of waiting although the whole frame-crystal should be manipulated.
- the union system that is described in the present report is destined for its application in the union between the frame of the whole of the automatic washing machine doors and the crystal of the same one, for those kinds of doors in which the same ones remain hinged to the own apparatus chassis, and the frame remains outwardly blocked up by the corresponding beautiying element, maintaining the aesthetic of the whole.
- the whole of the door of a great amount of automatic washing machines models is made up of a frame that is joined to the apparatus chassis in a gyratory way, being the door crystal fixed to the same one, remaining the frame outwardly blocked up by the corresponding beautifying element.
- the frame has a shape like a circular crown, and in relationship to its internal surface with regard to the fixed one, the crystal has a pair of L-shaped projectings in which it is inserted, while in the part of the cited projectings that is opposed to the fitting part, there is a little lung that is fixed to the frame through the corresponding screw, pressing the crystal so that thus the union between both is materialized.
- the crystal of general truncated cone shape with the open concavity to the exterior has a perimetric projecting for its fixing, so that the worker places the crystal projecting between the L-shaped projectings of the frame, having the subjection lung once it is perfectly inserted.
- the interlocked fixing between the frame of the whole-door and the crystal of the same one is defined by a projecting of the perimetric prolongation of the crystal that because of its assembly in the frame remains in relationship to a cleft, with similar section, of the own frame.
- the interlocked union between the crystal and the frame of the whole-door is materialized through an adhesive that is placed manually or automatically in the cleft frame in which the perimetric perpendicular projecting of the prolongation is inserted, to the exterior of the bigger base of the crystal.
- the own frame has a whole of protuberances, preferably in number of three and placed at 120°, in the side of the cope where the external perimetric prolongation is backed, so that they keep the crystal in the assembly and working positions, allowing the manipulation of the whole-door without some periods of waiting for the adhesive drying.
- Figure 1. It shows a diametrally sectioned view of the washing machine door, where we observe as the external perimetric projection of the crystal has a projection that is inserted into a similar cleft of the frame body in relationship to which, the interlocked union is done by means of the adhesive that is placed in the same one, as well as one of the protuberances that allow the support of the crystal in its normal position and the beautifying frame.
- the crystal (2) with a general truncated cone shape, of the door (1) has in relationship to the external open bigger base a perimetric prolongation (3) to the exterior so that it has, in that prolongation and in relationship to its external surface, a little projecing (4), remaining the prolongation (3) of the crystal (2) placed in relationship to an internal cope of the frame (5).
- the frame (5) in relationship to the backing surface of the perimetric prolongation (3) has a cleft (6) which coincides with the projecting (4) of the prolongation (3) of the same one, so that the union of both is done placing manually or automatically an adhesive (7) cord in the cited cleft (6).
- the cited frame has a whole of protuberances (8), preferably in number of three and placed at 120° among them, that allow the support of the own crystal (2) with the frame (5), only introducing the crystal (2) with a little pressure.
- the whole frame-crystal can be manipulated without not any problem, obtaining likewise a perfect fixing between both.
- the beautifying element (9) will be placed, remaining completed the whole of door (1) for automatic washing machines, so that the whole is materialized in a fast and simple way with a minimum workforce, resulting a system totally reliable and very economical.

Abstract
Description
Claims (4)
- UNION SYSTEM BETWEEN THE FRAME AND THE CRYSTAL OF WASHING MACHINE DOOR, being destined for its use in the union between the door frame of the automatic washing machine and the crystal of the same one, that has a general truncated cone shape, with a perimetric projecting to the external part, with regard to its bigger base that is open for the union to the frame, and characterized in that the external prolongation (3) of the external open base of the crystal, remains placed in relationship to an inlet of the frame (5), having the means of interlocked fixing between both bodies and the support means of the crystal (2) in the frame (5).
- UNION SYSTEM BETWEEN THE FRAME AND THE CRYSTAL OF WASHING MACHINE DOOR, according to the first claim and characterized in that the means of interlocked fixing between the frame (5) and the crystal (2) are defined by a projecting (4) of the perimetric prolongation (3) of the crystal (2) which, during its assembly in the frame (5), remains in relationship to a cleft (6), with equal section, of the own frame.
- UNION SYSTEM BETWEEN THE FRAME AND THE CRYSTAL OF WASHING MACHINE DOOR, according to the previous claims, and characterized in that the interlocked fixing between the crystal (2) and the frame (5) is done by means of an adhesive (7) that is placed manually or automatically in the frame cleft (6).
- UNION SYSTEM BETWEEN THE FRAME AND THE CRYSTAL OF WASHING MACHINE DOOR, according to the first claim and characterized in that the support means of the crystal (2) with the frame (5) are defined by a whole of protuberances (8) of the lateral surface of the cope on which the perimetric prolongation (3) of the crystal (2) is backed so that these protuberances keep the crystal in its working position.
