Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a household appliance with a recessed grip.
  • the household appliance has an interior of the appliance which is delimited by a basic body.
  • the base body of the household appliance has a base body opening through which the interior of the appliance is accessible from outside the household appliance.
  • the main body opening is closed by an appliance door. So that a user of the household appliance can operate the appliance door effectively, conventional appliance doors have handle elements through which the user can open or close the appliance door.
  • the disclosure GB 941 134 A describes a door for a washing machine and is the closest prior art.
  • the disclosure EP 2 143 861 A1 describes a washing machine.
  • the utility model DE 20 2011 103868 U1 describes a laundry treatment device.
  • the utility model DE 20 2014 010568 U1 describes a door for closing an opening of a housing of a household appliance for laundry care.
  • WO 2005/118995 A1 describes a hinge for a washing machine door.
  • WO 2012/011007 A1 describes a door for a washing machine.
  • the disclosure WO 2015/028452 A1 describes a washing machine.
  • the disclosure EP 2 147 996 A1 describes a door for a washing machine.
  • the utility model DE 69 35 745 U describes a door with a hatch for washing machines.
  • the object of the invention is achieved by a household appliance with a base body, the base body having a base body opening, and an appliance door for closing the base body opening, the appliance door having a plastic window ring for holding a window and a plastic recessed handle for actuating the appliance door has, and wherein the window ring and the recessed grip are integrally formed.
  • the window ring of the appliance door and the handle element are manufactured as separate components which are then connected to one another, e.g. through a screw or plug connection.
  • an additional amount of plastic material is required. Since the handle element must be connected to the window ring in a further manufacturing step, this also increases the assembly effort and thus the assembly costs.
  • the present invention describes a recessed grip connected in one piece to the window ring, as a result of which a device door of a household appliance can be manufactured much more easily can be obtained. Due to the one-piece design of the window ring and the recessed grip in the appliance door, various functions of the appliance door can be realized in one component. In addition, the amount of plastic required to manufacture the appliance door can be reduced, as can the assembly effort and thus the assembly costs. Furthermore, no additional components are required for the appliance door and the recessed grip can in particular be implemented without an additional component.
  • the window held by the window ring can comprise a completely light-transparent, a partially light-transparent or a non-light-transparent material, whereby the user is given the opportunity to look through the window into the device interior closed by the device door.
  • a household appliance is understood to be a device that is used for household management. This can be a large household appliance, such as a washing machine, a dryer, a dishwasher. But this can also be a small household appliance, such as a water heater, a fully automatic coffee machine, a food processor or a carpet cleaning device.
  • the recessed grip and the window ring are inextricably bonded to one another.
  • the recessed grip is arranged on an outside of the window ring facing away from the base body opening.
  • the recessed grip is advantageously accessible to a user of the household appliance due to the arrangement of the recessed grip on an outside of the window ring facing away from the base body opening. This allows the user Effectively reach into the recessed grip from the outside of the window ring to open or close the appliance door.
  • the plastic of the window ring and the plastic of the recessed grip comprise polypropylene, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene or mixtures thereof, and the plastic of the window ring and the recessed grip is in particular identical.
  • the plastics of the window ring and the recessed grip ensure advantageous mechanical properties of the components of the appliance door, and that the plastics mentioned enable cost-effective production of the appliance door.
  • the plastics mentioned enable cost-effective production of the appliance door.
  • the window ring comprises a first plastic
  • the recessed grip comprises a second plastic, the first plastic and the second plastic being different.
  • the first plastic comprises polypropylene and the second plastic comprises acrylonitrile butadiene styrene.
