Definitions
- the present invention relates to a laundry treatment appliance, such as a laundry washing and/or drying machine, having a front door comprising a handle assembly whereby the durability of the door handle assembly is improved and its installation is simplified.
- laundry treatment appliances such as washing machines, drying machines and combo washing/drying machines comprise a rotary drum in which cloth items are placeable and accessible via a front door, a water tub in which the rotary drum is rotatable and a motor providing said rotary drum to be driven by means of a pulley mechanism, the latter being disposed outside said tub.
- laundry treatment appliances have front doors typically allowing access into the rotary drum for loading and unloading the laundry to be processed.
- a front door locking mechanism typically functions in the manner that a handle associated with a handle lever is rotatable to drive a hook lever, the latter being actuatable to lock or unlock the front door.
- a handle associated with a handle lever is rotatable to drive a hook lever, the latter being actuatable to lock or unlock the front door.
- the hook settles into a locking slot of a locking arm while a safety latch provides an interengaged connection with the hook to ensure fixedly closing of the door.
- the above-described mechanical design allows a given user to reach for a handle cover to unlock the front door of the laundry treatment machine by way of retracting the handle lever relative to the handle cover. It is to be noted that the mechanical structure outlined above can be designed by various connection elements, which may substantially affect production efficiency of the laundry treatment machine as a large number of individual elements can be necessary for the operation of the locking mechanism.
- a more efficient manner of providing operational functionality with a simplified mechanical structure is desirable so as to decrease manufacturing costs through reduction of involved components and accordingly man-hours.
- due to the shape and design of the door of the laundry treatment device only a narrow space is available for the placement of the components for the attachment of the handle assembly. Therefore, it is advantageous to use specially designed attachment components to fit in the available space. In this way, the handle attachment components are easily hidden beneath the handle of the front door and also do not cause irritation to the user's hand by forming a rough surface on the back of the handle.
- the present invention proposes a laundry treatment machine with an alternative simplified mechanical arrangement to obtain a front door handle assembly in a laundry treatment machine.
- WO2013189859 discloses a door assembly for a laundry treatment appliance that comprises a first and a second component attachable to each other by at least one snap-fit connector.
- the first component is on the drum facing surface of the front door, and the second component is on the forwards facing surface around the drum opening.
- the snap fit connector comprises at least one first engaging element, for example a hook, and at least one corresponding second engaging element, for example a ledge.
- the at least one first and second engaging elements are distributed along the surface of the first and second components respectively.
- Document WO 2017/020959 A1 is relevant for Article 54(3) EPC and discloses a laundry treatment appliance comprising a rotary drum in which laundry is placeable and a front door allowing access into the rotary drum for loading or unloading laundry through an access opening and having a handle assembly operateable to lock or unlock said front door

- the handle assembly (4) comprises a handle body (5), a handle edge piece (6) and a handle inner piece (7) ( Figure 2 ).
- the small number of components of the handle assembly (4) advantageously provides ease of installation during production. It also imparts durability to the handle assembly (4) such that the handle remains stable during continuous cycle of rotation by the user and does not disintegrate. Additionally, it is configured to be assembled to look and form a durable unitary piece.
- FIGS 3 and 4 illustrate the front and back views of the unassembled handle assembly (4).
- the handle edge piece (6) is attachable to the handle body (5) by inserting a central edge tab (8), preferably provided on the handle edge piece (6), into a corresponding central edge slot (10), preferably provided on the handle body (5), and by inserting at least one peripheral edge tab (11) into corresponding at least one peripheral edge slot (13). While inserting the peripheral edge tabs (11) into corresponding peripheral edge slots (13), flexible peripheral edge tabs (14) rotate away from the plane of the handle body (5) due to peripheral edge hooks (12). After peripheral edge hooks (12) reach their position in peripheral edge slots (13), the peripheral edge hooks (12) are kept in place by the flexible peripheral edge tabs (14).
- the handle edge piece (6) is fixed in position via a plurality of uniformly distributed edge support flanges (15) on the edge-facing side of the handle body (5). In this manner, the handle edge piece (6) and the handle body (5) are uniformly and fixedly secured in attached position.
- the peripheral edge tabs (11) are provided on the handle edge piece (6), preferably two peripheral edge tabs (11), and the peripheral edge hooks (12) are provided each on a corresponding peripheral edge tabs (11), while the peripheral edge slots (13) and the flexible peripheral edge tabs (14) are provided on the handle body (5).
