- the magnetic means 52 may be positioned at an end of the support 50 that is designed to come into contact with the panel 4, while the panel 4 comprises a metal portion for coming into contact with magnetic means 52 made on the support 50.
- 3S may be made on both the support 50 and on the panel 4.
- the polarity of the magnetic means 52 on the support 50 is the opposite of the polarity of the magnetic means 52 on the panel 4.
- the panel 4 is movable along a predetermined path between a first position (see Figure 1) and a second position (see Figure 4) where it is at the end of its stroke, away from the opening S 31 of the second compartment 3; the releasable connection means 51 connect the support 50 to the panel 4 for at least a first part of the predetermined path of the panel 4 from the first position to the second.
- the support 50 extends outside the first portion 10 of the electrical household appliance 1 connecting the panel 4 and the enclosure 2 (see Figure 2) .
- the releasable connection means 51 disengage the support 50 from
- the support 50 is movable between a start-of-stroke configuration adopted when the panel 4 is in the first position and an end-of-stroke configuration adopted just before the panel 4 reaches the predetermined position along its path.
- the electrical household appliance comprises stopping means 6
- the above mentioned releasable connection is determined by the releasable connection means 51.
- the support 50 is pulled by the panel 4. As mentioned above, once the support 50 has reached the end of
- the electrical household appliance 1 comprises means 7 for retracting the support 50. After the support 50 has been disengaged from the panel 4, the retracting means 7 move it back S to a configuration where it occupies less space outside the first portion 10 of the electrical household appliance 1.
- the configuration where the support 50 occupies less space outside the first portion 10 of the electrical household appliance 1 coincides with the configuration adopted
- the support 50 when the support 50 adopts the configuration where it occupies less space outside the first portion 10, it protrudes slightly with respect to the first portion 10 to enable the support 50 itself to come into contact with the panel
- the magnetic means 52 of the releasable connection means 51 can connect the support 50 to the panel 4 when the panel 4 is moved back to the first position. This is very convenient because it means the user need not perform any further operations to connect the
- the retraction means 7 apply a force that opposes the pulling action exerted on the support 50 by the releasable connection means 51.
- the retraction means 7 comprise elastic retraction means such as a spring, for example.
- the spring might be a torsion spring (for example, a customary cylindrical helical torsion spring) or a bending spring (for example, a flat spiral bending spring) .
- a torsion spring for example, a customary cylindrical helical torsion spring
- a bending spring for example, a flat spiral bending spring
- a first end of the spring is attached to a portion integral with the enclosure 2 and a second end of the spring is attached to the support 50 at a point between the first end of the spring and the panel 4. If made to
- the support 50 comprises telescopic elements.
- the telescopic means of the support 50 are extended.
- the support 50 is attached to the panel 4, one end of it is inside a cavity 41 in the panel 4.
- the magnetic means 52 are made inside the cavity 41 in the panel 4.
- the electrical household appliance 1 comprises a drawer 8 that can be pulled out of and pushed into the second compartment 3.
- the drawer 8 in turn comprises a base 80 for supporting the objects contained.
- the panel 4 can be considered as a side containment wall 81 of the drawer 8.
- the panel 4 is the side containment wall 81 of the drawer 8 that can be accessed directly by the user and that extends transversally of the line along which the drawer 8 moves.
- the panel 4 extends at right angles to the line along which the drawer 8 moves.
- the drawer 8 comprises several side containment walls 81 extending perimetrically round the supporting base 80.
- the supporting base 80 is quadrilateral and thus the drawer 8 comprises four side containment walls 81.
- Each side wall 81 may have an uninterrupted surface or it may have other forms of containment means such as, for example, a plurality of longitudinal elements lined up in a vertical plane and spaced from each other.
- the support 50 is designed to surmount the supporting base 80. More specifically, the support 50 surmounts the supporting base 80 at least when the releasable connection means 51 connect the support 50 to the panel 4 and when the panel 4 is away from the first position (where it occludes the opening 31) . Conveniently, the support 50 surmounts the supporting base 80 while remaining at a predetermined distance from the supporting base 80. As a result, the supporting base 80 may have a plurality of objects on it at all times.
- the support 50 comprises a flap 85 attachable/attached to the drawer 8 (by way of a non-limiting example, see Figure 4) . The flap 85 may surmount the supporting base 80. It may be attached to the panel 4 or to other side walls 81.
- the flap 85 may be moved from a rest position (shown by the dashed lines in Figure 4, in the vertical position) to a working position (shown by the dashed lines in Figure 4, in the horizontal position) where it can support objects.
- the flap 85 in the rest position is inclined at an angle different from the angle the flap 85 is inclined at when in the working position.
- the flap 85 is turned about a horizontal axis of rotation.
- the flap 85 when the flap 85 is in the rest position, it lies parallel to the supporting base 80 (which is normally in the horizontal position) .
- the electrical household appliance 1 comprises horizontal guides along which the drawer 8 can run to enable it to be pulled out of and pushed into the second compartment 3.
- the guides are located laterally of the drawer 8 and connect the drawer 8 to the enclosure 2.
- the drawer 8 is equipped with wheels at the bottom of it and is free to run on the floor under it. In this case, the drawer 8 is a carriage.
- the panel 4 comprises a door that rotates about an axis located near a lateral edge of the door itself. Preferably the door rotates about a substantially vertical axis of rotation. This door occludes the opening of the second compartment 3. If necessary, the second compartment 3 may house a drawer 8 that can be pulled out after opening the door.
- the electrical household appliance 1 comprises means 100 for opening/closing the panel 4 that can be operated by a foot to enable the user to move the panel 4 obstructing access to the second compartment 3.
- the panel 4 comprises a recess 82 inside the panel 4, said recess 82 being accessible from the outside of the electrical household appliance 1 and being designed to allow a person to apply a force with his/her foot on the panel 4 sufficient to move the panel 4 away from the opening 31. Without bending and using only his/her foot, the user can thus move the panel 4 towards himself/herself away from the opening of the second compartment 3. This further improves the convenience of use, since the user can open the panel 4 even when holding something in both hands.
- the recess 82 thus forms part of the foot-operated means 100 for opening/closing the panel 4.
- the support 50 may be shaped like an element extending principally along the line of movement of the panel 4. Alternatively, the support 50 might have the shape of a tray.
- the supporting means 5 may comprise a plurality of supports 50 placed side by side which, at least in one particular configuration (see Figure 2 for example) extend at least partly between the first portion 10 of the electrical household appliance 1 and the panel 4.
- the supports 50 are distributed along the enclosure 2 portion 21 above the second compartment 3.
- each of these supports 50 may have one or more of the technical characteristics described above in connection with a generic support 50.
- each of the supports 50 may interact with the panel 4 and/or with the enclosure 2 as described above.
- the electrical household appliance 1 may comprise attachment means 9 which, when the panel 4 is in the first position, connect the panel 4 to the first portion 10 of the electrical household appliance 1.
- the attachment means 9 can be activated at least when the panel 4 is close to the first position.
- the attachment means 9 form part of the foot- operated means for opening the panel 4.
- the enclosure 2 is positioned at the bottom portion 11 of the electrical household appliance 1.
- the electrical household appliance 1 comprises an outer covering 100 that surrounds both the first washing compartment 32 and functional means for washing and/or drying (for example, means for circulating an operating fluid) .
- the enclosure 1 may be irremovably built into the covering 100 or it may be removably attached to it (for example by threaded fastening means) .
- the outer covering 100 with all of its contents, is located above the enclosure 2. The weight of the outer covering 100 and its contents allow its stable positioning.
- the electrical household appliance 1 comprises a window 101 that can be turned to give access to the first compartment 32 for washing and/or drying the textile articles. Inside the first compartment 32 there is a rotary basket for moving the textile articles during the washing and/or drying treatment.
- the window 101 usually turns on a hinge about a vertical axis of rotation.
- the supporting means 5 can be used to rest a basin at a certain level above the floor. Thus, to transfer the textile articles from the first washing and/or drying compartment 32 to the basin, the user does not have to bend down as much as when the basin is rested on the floor.
- Figure 1 illustrates an electrical household appliance 1 where the panel 4 is in the first position in such a way as to occlude the opening 31 of the enclosure 2. By operating on the panel 4 the user can access the second compartment 3 to by moving the panel 4 away from the opening 31 of the enclosure 2.
- the panel 4 can be moved from the first position (see Figure 1) to the second, end-of-stroke position (see Figure 4) .
- the panel 4 pulls the support 50 along with it.
- the panel 4 is the front of the drawer 8.
- the support 50 when it is outside the enclosure 2, surmounts the drawer 8.
- the support 50 is then 5 pulled out of the first portion 10 of the electrical household appliance 1 until it reaches the end of its stroke, this situation occurring when the panel 4 is located at an intermediate position between the first position and the second. Before the support 50 reaches the end of its stroke, the
- the electrical household appliance 1 is very easy (the basin can be placed above floor level so that the user need not bend down to reach the articles it contains) .
- the support 50 could make it difficult for the user to place something in or remove it from the drawer 8.
- the support 50 reaches the end of its stroke, pulling the drawer 8 out of the second compartment 3 a little more causes the releasable connection means 51 (which have up to now connected the support 50 to the panel 4) to disengage the support 50 and the panel 4 from each other.
- the end of the stroke of the support 50 is reached when the drawer 8 is pulled out of the second compartment 3 by a predetermined distance of 30 centimetres.
- the support 50 can be used to rest basins or other objects up to twice as large in diameter as this predetermined distance. After the panel 4 has
- the retraction means 7 move the support 50 back to the configuration where it occupies less space as when the panel 4 was in the first position.
- the user can, instead, conveniently access the inside of the drawer 8 without the support 50 constituting any obstacle or obstruction.
- the invention achieves important advantages in terms of convenience of use.
