  • EP 2 434 046 discloses a laundry treating machine comprising a door to open and close an inner space of the machine, wherein the door comprises at least one frame and at least one transparent window held by the frame.
  • the transparent window allows to inspect the inner space when the door is closed.
  • the door also comprises at least one intransparent cover element adapted to partially conceal a region of the inner space, so that only a part of the inner space is inspectable from the outside when the door is closed.
  • EP 2 161 364 discloses a washing machine comprising a lid comprising a lid cover and a lid unit.
  • the lid cover fits and covers the lid unit on the front face.
  • the lid unit is formed of front frame and rear frame with a window plate sandwiched between front frame and rear frame.
  • the lid cover is fit to front frame of the lid unit for elastically engaging with each other, and they are fixed to each other by a fixing section.
  • Surface in-parts formed on lid cover are modified in their shape for the light coming from the inside to be refracted or dispersed when the light transmits through lid cover, so that said fixing section is concealed.
  • a laundry treating machine with a door comprising a cover element made of a transparent material with a knurled portion.
  • a part of the inner space of the machine e.g. a treating chamber with the laundry to be treated
  • other (e.g. unaesthetical) parts of the inner space being concealed by the knurled portion of the cover element.
  • a cover element made of a transparent material which is in part knurled, is advantageous in that no additional components are required in order to achieve the above objects of the invention.
  • a cover element can be obtained by a single manufacturing step by using a suitable mold configured to provide the partial knurling so that additional manufacturing steps are required, neither. In this way, visibility of parts of the inner space is avoided or altered in an easy, effective and economical way.
  • the present invention relates to a laundry treating machine comprising an opening giving access to an inner space of the laundry treating machine and a door to open and close said opening, the door comprising, from an outer side to an inner side of the machine, an outer frame, a cover element, a transparent window and an inner frame, wherein the cover element is made of a transparent material with a knurled portion, so as to avoid or alter visibility of parts of the inner space from the outside when the door is closed.
  • the terms "concealing” and “hiding” refer both to the case wherein visibility of parts of the inner space is avoided and the case wherein the visibility is altered in such a way that said parts are hardly visible from the outside of the machine.
  • the terms “outer” and “inner” are used with reference to the laundry treating machine, when the door is in a closed position.
  • the outer frame protrudes outward with respect to the cover element, in at least a peripheral portion of the door.
  • the laundry treating machine comprises a casing with a front wall, the opening being preferably formed into said front wall.

  • the knurled portion 540 of the cover element 54 preferably has a knurled pattern oriented differently from the knurled pattern of the knurled portion 550 of the transparent window 55. This advantageously enables to improve the hiding effect obtained by the combination of the two knurled portions 540, 550.
  • the knurled portion 540 has a series of parallel substantially straight peaks and valleys that extend in a horizontal direction while the knurled portion 550 has a series of parallel substantially straight peaks and valleys that extend in a vertical direction. As they extend in a vertical direction, the straight peaks and valleys of knurled portion 550, facing the horizontal straight peaks and valleys of knurled portion 540, are not visible in figure 6 .
  • the knurled portion 550 is advantageously positioned at the lower region 552 of the transparent window 55 so as to face at least part of the lint filter 7, which is thus hidden or made hardly visible from the outside of the machine 1, when the door 5 is closed. Lint filter 7 hiding is improved thanks to the double action of both the knurled portion 550 of the transparent window 55 and the knurled portion 540 of the cover element 54.
