Definitions

  • This invention relates to the assembly of electrical household appliances, and in particular relates to a device for locking the closure door of a washing-machine and the like.
  • the known washing-machines are equipped with a closure door, generally shaped as a porthole, hinged on one hand to the front panel of the washing-machine and provided with a closure hook at a position that is diametrally opposite with respect to the hinged one, which hook is engaged by a locking or interlocking device also mounted on the front panel of the machine.
  • Such a locking device allows the snap closure of the door by engaging the hook when the door is pressed against the front panel, and its opening by disengaging the hook through a push-button or by directly acting onto the door, eventually with a certain delay, for instance when the spin-dryer is still rotating.
  • a delaying device shall prevent the opening of the door, e.g. when water has not been completely discharged from the machine.
  • the locking device is further provided with a rectangular frame with tapered sides which provide for both an easy engagement of the hook and an esthetical finishing.
  • the device according to the invention does not require screws for being assembled to the washing-machine, and utilises elastically protruding pegs or pins which engage holes in the front panel of the washing-machine to ensure the fastening of the device in the transverse direction.
  • such holes are already provided for in the panel to receive the screws used with the conventional devices.
  • a device comprises an elongated body 10, which comprises a portion 1 for housing an electro-mechanical delay device or timer not shown in the Figure, and a portion 2 for fastening the device to the front panel of a washing-machine.
  • the front panel 6 of the washing-machine provides for a rectangular hole 14 and two circular holes 17 arranged laterally to the hole 14, which in the prior art machines receive screws for securing the device to the panel. Therefore the fastening portion 2 fits to the size and the location of the opening 14 and holes 17 in the panel.
  • an opening 3 for receiving the hook which opening is provided with a salient frame 4 of rectangular shape.
  • the hook 5 of the door is received into the opening 3 and locked in a known manner by the device.
  • the device 10 further provides for two lateral pins 7, 7, elastically protruding from the portion 2 and with a slightly conical or tapered profile at their end portions.
  • such elastic pins 7 are formed by (or fastened to) elastic blades 9 which urge them away from the portion 2.
  • each blade 9 has a curved portion 18 which contributes to the elastic properties of the pin.
  • the portion 2 further provides for additional elastic elements formed as tabs 13 positioned between the pins 7 and the frame 4, for compensating possible clearances, as better illustrated later.
  • Fig. 4A illustrates the entering step, where the locking device 10 is approached to the hole 14 drilled in the panel 6 and oriented so that the axis of the device is inclined with respect to the plane of the panel 6.
  • the arrow 21 indicates the approaching direction.
  • Fig. 4B the frame 4 has partially entered the hole 14 and the groove 11 engages an edge of the hole (in the following called engagement edge), while the opposite groove 12 is still outside the hole, and the frame 4 is being centred with respect to the hole 14. Also this movement substantially occurs along the direction of the arrow 21.
  • the part 10 is rotated towards the panel (arrow 22) substantially around the contact line between the engagement edge and the groove 11, until the portion 2 comes in contact with the panel 6 and consequently the groove 12 is brought to confront the edge of the hole 3 which is opposite to the engagement edge.
  • the pins 7, 7 are brought to abut against the edge of panel, since at this assembling stage the holes 17 are not precisely positioned in front of the corresponding pins, and as a consequence the elastic elements 9 are subjected to a deformation that generates a pre-loading force.
  • the device is pulled back parallelly with the panel as shown by the arrow 23, so that the edge of the hole which is opposite to the engagement edge fits into the groove 12 and the pins 7 enters the holes 17 in the panel thus realising a locking between the device and the panel and preventing any transverse displacement thereof.
  • the amount of the back motion is such to anyhow prevent any disengagement between the groove 11 and the edge of hole 14, while the elastic elements 13 press onto the panel 6 and compensate the small clearance existing between the edge of the hole and the groove 11.
  • the grooves 11 and 12 can be formed between the portion 2 and the edges of two opposite sides of the frame 4 which are parallel to the axis of the body 10. In this case, the position of the elastic elements 13 will be different and the device will be differently orientated during the assembling step.
