  • the household appliance has a blower, with which air can be blown through the air gap 22.
  • the handle member 11 comes to rest outside the door 2 at a distance from the door, so that it can be easily taken. It runs approximately parallel to the outside 18.
  • the closure plate 21 is now however approximately perpendicular to Outside 18 and releases the air gap 22, so that more air can flow through the air gap.
  • the pivot axis 17 is preferably parallel to the air gap 22, so that the air gap during pivoting of the handle 10 can be released over its entire length.
  • Fig. 4 The embodiment shown is similar to that according to Fig. 3 in that the handle 10 can be pivoted about a pivot axis 17 in a pivot bearing 20.
  • the handle member 11 is connected via a curved bracket 24 with the pivot bearing 20.
  • the grip element In the first position (in Fig. 4 drawn in a solid line), the grip element is in turn in a recess 14 of the door 2, while in the second position (in Fig. 4 shown in dashed lines) spaced from the door 2 is.
  • the handle 10 has first and second legs 30 and 31, respectively.
  • a first end 30a of the first leg 30 and a first end 31a of the second leg 31 are movable, in particular pivotable, connected together.
  • the opposite second ends 30b and 31b of the two legs 30, 31 are each pivotally connected to the door 2, in each case pivotable about pivot axes 33 which extend parallel to the outer surface 18 of the door 2 and perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the legs 30, 31 ,
  • at least one of the second ends 30b, 31b is movably connected to the door 2, so that it can be displaced in a direction 32 perpendicular to the axes 33 and parallel to the outside 18 of the door 2.
  • the thus configured handle 10 can, as in Fig. 5 shown, in a first position (shown in solid) and a second position (shown in phantom) are brought, wherein the internal angle ⁇ between the legs 30, 31 in the first position of the handle is greater than in the second position.
  • the inner angle ⁇ in the first position about 180 °, ie, the two legs 30, 31 parallel to each other and the surface 18 of the door 2.
  • the inner angle ⁇ for example 140 °, so that the first ends 30a, 31a form a spaced from the door 2 handle member 11, where the user can grip the handle 10.
  • FIG. 6 Another version is in Fig. 6 shown. This is similar to those after Fig. 3 built, but with two differences.
  • a spring element 36 which extends between the door 2 and the handle 10. It is arranged so that the elastic energy stored in it has two minima, namely in the first and the second position of the handle, while being stretched elastically at the transition between these two positions. In this way, the handle is held bistable in the first or second position.
  • an electric drive 37 is provided, for example in the form of an electromagnet.
  • this drive is used to transfer the handle 10 from the first to the second position.
  • the drive 37 is equipped with a rod-shaped actuator 38 in the region of the outer edge 23 of the door 2.
  • the actuator can be actuated by the drive and cooperates with the handle 10 to move it.
  • a nose 39 is provided on the handle 10, against which the actuator 38 can be pressed from above to deflect the handle as far from the first position that it is then transferred by the spring 36 in the second position.
  • the drive 37 may well transfer the handle from the first to the second position, but not from the second to the first position.
  • the user may be indicated that the door is now open can be.
  • the device can open the air gap 22 automatically when needed. The transfer of the handle back to the first position is done manually by the user in this embodiment.
  • the drive 37 is arranged on the housing 1. This has the advantage that no cables for the drive in the door 2 must be placed. In addition, it is particularly advantageous in ovens to accommodate any electrical components in the door, since there can prevail relatively high temperatures. It is also conceivable, however, an arrangement of the drive in the door.
  • the operation of the handle with a drive can also be done in other ways.
  • the drive can act directly on the pivot axis of the handle.
  • the drive may also be configured to transfer the handle from the second to the first position or to reciprocate between both positions.
  • the described grip element 11 of the handle is located in the first position of the handle 10 close to or in the door 2, while in the second position it is spaced from the door 2. In this way, the handle 10 of the door 2 can be cleared out of the way when not in use.
  • an air gap arranged on or in the door 2 can be at least partially closed by the handle. This creates a smoother surface and, in addition, air exchange in the air gap can be affected by operating the handle.
  • the handle can, as mentioned, be operated manually or by motor.
  • the handle can eg by pulling, pressing or a combination of these activities are moved back and forth between the two positions.
  • Is a drive i. a motor control
  • this can either be designed so that it can transfer the handle only from the first to the second position, or only from the second to the first position, or in both directions. If the drive can only move the handle in one direction, the user will move in the other direction.
  • the device can be advantageously designed so that it automatically brings the handle when needed from the first to the second position.
  • the device may e.g. be equipped with a presence sensor, with which the presence of a user can be detected.
  • the presence sensor is preferably an approach or touch sensor on an optical, capacitive or inductive basis. If the presence of a user detected with the presence sensor, the handle is transferred from the first to the second position. If the user moves away again, the handle can be brought back into the first position.
  • the handle in the first and second positions is self-restrained, ie it remains in the respective position when neither the user nor any drive exerts a force on him.
  • a self-locking of this kind can eg by spring elements (see. Fig. 6 ), magnetically and / or realized by a latching mechanism.
  • the handle is preferably bistable, ie it is only in the first and the second position, but not inhibited in between.
  • the grip element 11 may be relatively far away from the door 2 in the second position, in particular further than in a conventional solution with a fixed grip element.
  • the handle can be taken well, and also in any hot door (oven), the risk of injury is reduced.
  • An air gap 22 of the type described above is particularly useful in ovens, as well as dishwashers, where it can be used to extract moisture from the tub during the drying phase.
  • the door may have a locking mechanism, e.g. from the movement of the handle from the first to the second position can be unlocked.
  • the door does not have a locking mechanism or, although it has a locking mechanism, but the handle is movable between the first and the second position without actuation of the locking mechanism.
