  • a possible known solution is to incline the door itself, so that the axis of rotation of the door is also inclined with respect of a vertical plane.
  • the washing machine includes a cabinet having an opening at the front thereof; a tub provided inside the cabinet for storing washing water; a drum being rotatably provided to a spinning shaft by a motor inside the tub; and a door provided at the opening for being tilted to the inside of the washing machine.
  • the dryer has the same structure as the washing machine.
  • Another object is to provide a door assembly which can be used in different types of laundry treatment devices with minor changes.
  • a door assembly defining different planes is to be used, angled one with respect to the other.
  • a first plane is the plane in which the closure of the opening in the casing of the laundry treatment device is formed and a second plane is the plane following substantially the contour of an outer surface of the casing of the laundry treatment device.
  • a handle-carrying element is provided, sandwiched between the two planes, which can rotate on a plane parallel to the second plane from one position to the other.
  • the rear door frame is the frame portion that abuts against the opening formed in a front wall of the laundry treatment device. Generally, but not necessarily, the rear door frame is not visible from the outside when the door assembly is in a closed operative configuration.
  • the front door frame is the portion of frame that represents the most visible part of the door assembly and one of its surfaces, called front surface of front door frame, defines the outer surface of the door assembly.
  • the aesthetical appearance of the door assembly is mainly given by the shape and finishing of the front frame.
  • front surface of the front door frame could be colored, textured, smooth or wrapped in metal, an additional cover ring could be placed on top of it, etc., in order to improve the aesthetical appearance of the overall laundry treatment device.
  • the door assembly includes a handle and a handle-carrying element interposed between said rear door frame and front door frame, said handle-carrying element being apt to be mounted in said door assembly in a plurality of alternative positions, so that said handle can be positioned on said frame at different locations.
  • the cap element has substantially a similar outer edge shape to the outer edge shape of the frame, so that it can be easily sandwiched between the front frame and the rear frame.
  • the cap element can be circular, oval, rectangular, etc.
  • the first and the second surfaces are defined as those surfaces which are in contact with either the front or the rear door frame or any element therebetween, e.g., the first and second surfaces are in abutment with the front or rear door frame, or with any element interposed therebetween, although the cap element might also include other surfaces.
  • any element abutting to the variable height ridge is automatically "tilted" due to the difference in spacing from the first surface of the cap element.
  • the acquired tilt is the tilt given by the ridge.
  • a plurality of locating elements are mounted on the door assembly, for example either on the front or on the rear door frame, in order to avoid any configuration in which the handle is too close to the hinge.

  • the outer edge 11; 111 of the frame is substantially rectangular.
  • the section of the front frame along line A-A includes a triangle to the bottom base of which a quarter of circumference is connected.
  • the front surface 6a; 106a includes as said a flat surface (a rectangle), therefore the area defined by "putting into contact a candidate front plane PA" onto the front surface of front frame corresponds to the area of the rectangular portion of the front surface itself.
  • the plane PA defining an area equal to the area of the flat portion of front surface is the front plane itself.
  • the gray area depicted in fig. 21b is therefore the area defined by the single candidate front plane which is also the front plane (or maximal area front plane).
  • planes PA and PB define an angle ⁇ herebetween different from 0° and 180°.
  • the front frame 6; 106 of this embodiment includes, in a position corresponding to the top most and lower most sides, two prisms "prism 1" and "prism 2" having a triangular base.
  • the two triangular prisms have an axis perpendicular to the Z axis and are positioned one on top of the other.
  • the base triangle of each prism is a right triangle, which one side lying on the closure plane PB. Therefore, the section of the front frame 6; 106 along the vertical plane defines two triangles, one for each prism, as visible in fig. 23a ; thus a top-most and lower-most triangle are formed.

  • the coupling is obtained by means of coupling elements 21; 121 and corresponding coupling counter elements 22; 122 formed in the front and rear frame, respectively.
  • the insertion of the elements into the counter-elements or vice-versa is obtained with interference so that, when a coupling element is inserted in a coupling counter element (or vice-versa) the removal requires the application of a non-negligible force, so that the possibility of accidental removals is minimized.
  • each coupling element 21 departing from the rear surface 6b of front frame 6 includes a tubular sleeve 91 departing from a pedestal 92.
  • the tubular sleeve is not directly connected to the rear surface 6b of front frame 6, but it is positioned on the pedestal 92.
  • Coupling counter-elements 22 are realized as through holes on rear frame 5, in which the tubular sleeve 91 of coupling elements 21 can be inserted. Instead of through-holes, coupling counter-elements 22 could include appendices 90 as well.
  • Coupling element 121 includes a tubular sleeve 191 departing from a pedestal 192.

  • the angle formed between the first and second plane defined by cap element 140 is equal to ⁇ .
  • the coupling elements and/or counter-elements 121,122 could have also all the same height, because they are not necessary to form the "tilt", however coupling elements 121 and/or coupling counter-elements 122 with different heights allow a better coupling of components lying on different planes.
  • Handle-carrying element 30 is preferably coupled directly to front frame 6.
  • the plate like member 33 thus further includes, extending from its edge 32, an annular flange 36, substantially perpendicular to the plate-like member 33.

  • hinge axis is parallel to the Z axis and centerline C is parallel to the (X,Y) plane, i.e. it is an horizontal axis.
  • the lock is configured to avoid opening of the door assembly during operation of the laundry treatment device 1; 100; and to possibly to avoid operation of the device with the door assembly open, for example by issuing a consent signal to an electronic control unit of the device only when the door assembly is closed and/or delay opening of the door assembly after the end of an operation cycle.
  • the electromechanical lock is therefore also an interlock.
  • hinge 160 and hook or latch 161 are mounted, in a reversible manner, on rear frame 105, at the edge of the same, where the seat 162 is formed.
  • the handle-carrying element 30; 130 can be positioned between the front 6; 106 and rear frame 5; 105 at least in two different positions and more preferably in at least four different positions. The difference between one position and the other lies in the handle location: for each position of the handle-carrying element 30; 130 a different location L1, L2, L3, L4 of the handle 31; 131 within the frame is achieved.
  • door assembly 110 depicted in figures 19a-19c and 20a-20c , the same description - unless otherwise specified - is applicable also to door assembly 10.

Suitable recesses or openings are realized in the edge of rear door frame 5 so that the hinge 60 and the latch or hook 61 can protrude rearward outside the door assembly 10.
  • the front frame 6 defines the front plane PA by means of front surface 6a.
  • Rear surface 6b defines a plane as well, for example parallel to PA. Therefore any component abutting on such a plane remains, at least for the surface in abutment, parallel to PA.
  • the handle-carrying element 30 can define, by means of one of its opposite surfaces, a plane, called handle plane PH, which can be tilted with respect to the closure plane of a different angle than the angle ⁇ present between the front plane PA and the closure plane PB.
  • a further angle or tilt has to be realized between the front frame 6 and the handle-carrying element 30, i.e. between the front plane PA and handle plane PH.
