Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a retaining device for a door of a domestic appliance, particularly for a washing machine, comprising a support structure adapted to be secured to the door, a hook member projecting at least partially outside this structure and mounted rotatably around an axis between a locking position and an unlocking position and adapted to cooperate with a door locking device provided in the appliance, a spring element adapted to urge the hook member towards its locking position and a handle mounted rotatably on the support structure and adapted to move the hook member towards its unlocking position.
  • the support structure is usually fixed to the edge of a glass door and it is usually formed by two round frames of polymeric material assembled and clamped around the door edge.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a retaining device of the above-described type which is simpler and cheaper than the known devices. Another object is to provide a retaining system which has a low cost and is particularly easy to assemble.
  • the technical solution according to the invention essentially combines the function of the known two prongs into a single piece, decreasing the overall cost of the retaining device, making the assembly thereof easier.
  • a retaining device 10 for the glass door G of a washing machine comprises a support structure 12 made by two circular frames 12a and 12b of polymeric material mounted on the rim G1 of the glass door G and kept together for instance by screws (not shown) cooperating with fastening holes 14 ( figure 1 ).
  • the front frame 12a which faces the user in the closed configuration of the door G, there are provided seats 16 for an axle 18 of a rotating hook member 20.
  • the front frame 12a presents other seats 22 (cooperating with corresponding seats, not shown, in the back frame 12b) for two axles 24 on which two ends 26a of a U-shaped handle 26 are rotatably mounted.
  • the hook member 20 presents a portion 20a which is inserted in an aperture 27 provided in a side portion 26b of the handle 26.
  • a single symmetrical spring element 28 made of shaped elastic metal wire which has a central U-shaped portion 28a placed around the hook member 20, second coil portions 28b wound around the axle 18, third U-shaped portions 28c adapted to abut against the back frame 12b as it will be clear in the following description, fourth coil portions 28d and fifth rectilinear end portions 28e abutting the handle 26. Thanks to the shape and assembly of the spring element 28, such spring has at least two features which function independently of one another when fixed in the assembled position. The first central portion 28a pushes on the door hook member 20.
  • the arrows F1 in figures 1 and 5 indicate where the back frame 12b would compress the spring element 28, creating a predetermined pre-tension.
  • the back frame 12b also prevents the spring element 28 from moving when the handle 26 or the hook member 20 is rotated.
  • the coil portions 28b and 28d of the spring element 28 reduce the increase of force as the hook member 20 or the handle 26 is moved from its neutral position.
  • FIG 5 there are shown also the potential force F2 exerted by the spring element 28 against the hook member 20 and the potential force F3 exerted against the handle 26.
  • the retaining device described above substantially operates as follows.
  • the hook member 20 When the door G is closed, it is brought towards the front wall of the domestic appliance (not shown); in this movement the hook member 20 cooperates with a door locking device (not shown) and consequently oscillates about the axle 18 in a counter-clockwise direction when looking at figure 1 , 2a and 2b , against the action of the spring element 28.
  • the user pull the handle 26 so that, thanks to the coupling between the angled portion 20a of the hook member 20 and the aperture 27 provided in a portion 26b of the handle, the hook member is rotated so as to free it from the locking device.
  • the rotational movement of the handle 26 around its axle 24 is carried out against the force F3 exerted by the spring element 28, and when the user leaves the handle 26, this latter return to its neutral position shown in figures 2a and 2b .
  • the hook member 20 may be rotated due to its relative position to the door lock (this varies due to tolerances of the door). Without the spring acting on the handle, the handle would be free to rotate to some extent, but with the spring acting independently on the handle, the handle stays in the neutral position.
  • the solution of the invention as described above enables the use of a single spring element for driving both the hook member and the handle towards a neutral position and to elastically react against the rotational movement of such components.
  • the device of the invention is particularly suited to use in washing machines, of both the top-loading and front-loading types.
