Definitions
- the present invention relates to washing machines with the door covered by a decorative panel, and in particular to a washing machine in which such a panel also acts as a container.
- a washing machine in which such a panel also acts as a container.
- This type of decorative panels is known to be used to camouflage a washing machine so that it blends with the kitchen furniture, if it is arranged in a kitchen, or merely to embellish the machine by hiding the porthole door and the control panel. This is achieved by applying to the washing machine, by various means, a panel having the same appearance of the other doors so that there is no visible element allowing to distinguish the washing machine from the other members which make up the kitchen, its controls being accessible only when the door is open.
- the function of such a panel is purely decorative, and its presence implies a greater cost of the machine without providing any practical utility to the user, who on the contrary may be disturbed by the covering panel during the operations on the machine.
- the panel may prevent an easy access to an adjacent piece of furniture or shelf where the user stores the detergent and/or additive bottles to be used in the loading phase, or other items that may be useful such as a floor cloth to dry up possible leaks.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a washing machine having a decorative panel that overcomes the aforementioned drawback.
- This object is achieved by means of a washing machine in which the panel has an increased thickness and is provided with internal shelves that can receive the items required to operate the washing machine, such as for example the packages of detergent, softener or other additives, floor cloths and sponges, the instruction booklet, etc.
- the main advantage of the washing machine with the panel according to the present invention is the twofold function of the latter acting both as a decorative cover and as a container, so that the user has everything at hand and the presence of the panel is no longer a nuisance.
- a further advantage of the present washing machine is that it can be arranged as a stand-alone appliance, without the necessity to arrange external shelves and/or pieces of furniture that are unaesthetic and cumbersome.
- Still another advantage of this washing machine stems from the fact that the change of the covering panel is structurally very simple, which makes said change cheap and reliable.
- a washing machine conventionally includes a decorative panel P hinged along a vertical side of the base W of the machine so as to cover completely the front part of the latter, thus hiding the porthole door D, the control panel C and the load drawer L.
- the novel aspect of the present invention resides in the particular structure of panel P that has a substantially increased thickness with respect to the thickness required for the merely decorative function, indicatively at least 8 cm, and is provided with an internal recess R in which there are arranged a plurality of shelves S suitable to receive the above-mentioned items required to operate the washing machine.
- recess R can be exploited also by means of elements different from the illustrated six shelves S, e.g. full-width shelves possibly provided with hinged transparent lids.
