Description

  • A WASHER/DRYER COMPRISING A LOCK
  • The present invention relates to a washer/dryer that comprises a lock.
  • In washers/dryers, the lid used for loading and unloading the laundry is enabled to be kept in the closed position by means of a lock. Generally, locking is realized by the placement of a tenon disposed on the lid into a lock disposed on the front wall of the body.
  • In the state of the art, the members that form the lock are in grouped state. The lock group is realized by passing the lock orifice into which the tenon enters entirely to the front side from the rear side of the front wall, through an opening disposed on the front wall and by fixing the lock orifice in this position. In the state of the art embodiments, the body, that is mounted to the hole by using methods such as snap-fit or screwing, cannot be easily attached/detached and/or cannot remain in the hole in a steady manner.
  • The fixation process is generally performed by means of screws and this causes increase in terms of both the material cost and the labor cost. In the state of the art, various embodiments are developed related to the mounting of the lock group to the front wall without screws.
  • In the state of the art embodiment, the European Patent Application No. EP1681386, a washer/dryer is explained, comprising a lock group which is mounted onto the front wall in a snap-fitting manner by being rotated and slid after being inserted from one side.
  • The aim of the present invention is the realization of a washer/dryer comprising a lock that can be easily mounted.
  • In the washer/dryer realized in order to attain the aim of the present invention and explicated in the claims, the lock is fixed to the front wall with the body that is passed through the hole and at least partially seated into the hole by means of a claw situated on the body and close to the housing. After the body is fitted into the hole, a portion of the body remains behind the hole. By stretching the claw that bears against the edges of the hole, the body can be easily detached from the hole wherein it is fitted. Thus, the lock is enabled to be easily mounted to the front wall.
  • In an embodiment of the present invention, the claw at least partially touches the front surface of the front wall when the lock is mounted into the hole. Thus, the lock is prevented from moving towards the rear side of to the front wall. While the tenon is being placed into the lock, the lock remains stationary inside the hole wherein it is seated.
  • In an embodiment of the present invention, the washer/dryer comprises a housing arranged on the body and through which the tenon passes to be placed into the lock, and a wall surrounding the housing. The claw is situated on the body so that a distance remains between the claw and the wall. The said distance forms a volume that allows the claw to be stretched. The user can remove the lock from the hole wherein it is fitted by narrowing the distance between the housing and the claw.
  • In an embodiment of the present invention, the washer/dryer comprises two claws that extend outwards from the body surface so as to be close to one edge of the rectangular housing, one claw being close to one end of the said edge and the other close to the other end of the said edge.
  • In an embodiment of the present invention, the washer/dryer comprises an extension that bears against one edge of the hole when the lock is fitted into the hole and that extends from the housing wall, and a claw that bears against the edge opposite to the edge against which the extension bears.
  • By means of the present invention, the lock in the washer/dryer is enabled to be firmly mounted to the front wall.
  • The model embodiments relating to the washer/dryer realized in order to attain the aim of the present invention are illustrated in the attached figures, where:
  • Figure 1 – is the perspective view of a washer/dryer.
  • Figure 2 – is the front view of a washer/dryer.
  • Figure 3 – is the front view of a washer/dryer when the lock body is fixed to the front wall.
  • Figure 4 – is the view of detail A in Figure 3.
  • Figure 5 – is the view of the lock while being mounted to the hole on the front wall in a washer/dryer.
  • Figure 6 – is the view of the lock when mounted to the hole on the front wall in a washer/dryer.
  • Figure 7 – is the perspective view of a lock body.
  • Figure 8 – is the exploded view of a lock.
  • Figure 9 – is the partial cross-sectional view of the lock in a washer/dryer.
