  • a lid In laundry washing and/or drying machines, there is a lid that provides access into the body in order to load and unload the laundry.
  • the lid is actuated by the user by means of a handle.
  • the handle moves by rotating.
  • a spring is used for providing the handle to change to the free position again.
  • the mounting of the spring is time consuming and the incorrect positioning of the spring causes the handle not to perform its opening/closing function properly.
  • German Patent No. DE38099908 a washing machine comprising a lid that is opened/closed by means of a handle is explained.
  • the handle is provided to return to the free position by means of a spring after being actuated for the aim of opening/closing.
  • the aim of the present invention is the realization of a laundry washing and/or drying machine, the lid of which is opened and closed without any problem.
  • the laundry washing and/or drying machine realized in order to attain the aim of the present invention, explicated in the first claim and the respective claims thereof, comprises at least one extension integrated to the outer lid, formed by shaping the outer lid, the free end of which extends towards the handle, stretching by moving together with the handle when the user applies force on the handle and providing the handle to return to its free position when the user releases the handle.
  • the laundry washing and/or drying machine comprises the handle having an outer member facing the outside of the body and an inner member one portion of which faces the inside of the body and one portion of which faces the outside of the body, and a housing situated on the inner member, through which the extension passes and bears against the inner member.
  • the extension is produced from the same material as the lid.
  • the laundry washing and/or drying machine comprises at least one hole formed by performing cut-out operation on the outer lid, at least one protrusion situated between the outer lid and the inner lid, the free end of which extends from the handle and passes through the hole, at least one shaft that passes through the center of the protrusion and around the axis of which the protrusion rotates and at least one bearing formed by shaping the outer lid and wherein the shaft is placed.
  • the laundry washing and/or drying machine comprises a locking mechanism having a hook that provides the lid to be locked to the body, a pin around the axis of which the hook rotates and a spring wrapped around the pin and that provides the hook to return to the free position thereof.
  • the laundry washing and/or drying machine comprises at least one opening situated on the inner member and into which the hook is seated.
  • the portion of the extension that passes through the housing is arc-shaped.
  • the extension is prevented from dislodging from the housing.
  • the handle functions as a lever that provides transmission of force to the extension.
  • a laundry washing and/or drying machine comprising an extension formed by shaping the inner lid, that moves and thus provides the handle to move by rotating and to return to the free position when the user releases the handle.
  • Figure 1 – is the perspective view of a laundry washing and/or drying machine.
  • Figure 2 – is the exploded view of the lid.
  • Figure 3 – is the rear view of the lid.
  • Figure 4 – is the view of detail A in Figure 3.
  • Figure 5 — is the perspective view of one part of the lid.
  • Figure 6 — is the view of detail B in Figure 5.
  • Figure 7 — is the sideways schematic view of the lid.
  • Figure 8 — is the partial schematic view of the lid, the hook and the shaft.
  • Figure 9 – is the front view of the lid.
  • the laundry washing and/or drying machine (1) of the present invention comprises
  • a lid (5) providing access into the body (2) in order to place the laundry therein, having a ring-shaped outer lid (3) forming the portion thereof facing outside of the body (2) and a ring-shaped inner lid (4) forming the portion thereof facing the inside of the body (2) and
  • a handle (6) partially rotatably mounted on the outer lid (3) and that allows the user to actuate the lid (5) for opening/closing the lid (5) ( Figure 1, Figure 2).
  • the laundry washing and/or drying machine (1) of the present invention furthermore comprises at least one extension (7)
  • the handle (6) In the free position, the user pulls out the outer lid (3) to open the lid (5).
  • the handle (6) that is in the first position (F) when the lid (5) is closed moves by partially rotating upon the actuation of the lid (5) by the user and changes to the second position (S). Meanwhile, the extension (7) that moves together with the handle (6) stretches.
  • the handle (6) When the user releases the handle (6), the pressure force applied on the extension (7) expires.
  • the handle (6) is released, the extension (7) gets stuck and provides the handle (6) to move by rotating.
  • the handle (6) is provided to change to the first position (F) by means of the extension (7) that extends from the outer lid (3).
  • the laundry washing and/or drying machine (1) comprises the handle (6) having an outer member (8) facing the outside of the body (2) and an inner member (9) and a housing (10) situated on the inner member (9), into which the free end of the extension (7) enters.
  • the extension (7) is provided to be situated between the outer member (8) and the inner member (9) by means of the housing (10).
  • the extension (7) is also provided to move by the actuation of the inner member (9) ( Figure 3, Figure 6 and Figure 7).
  • the extension (7) is produced from the same material as the outer lid (3) and that is thinner than the outer lid (3).
  • the extension (7) is formed by shaping the outer lid (3).
  • the laundry washing and/or drying machine (1) comprises at least one hole (11) situated on the outer lid (3), at least one protrusion (12) situated on the handle (6) and that passes through the hole (11) to the back of the outer lid (3), a shaft (13) whereon the protrusion (12) is mounted and at least one bearing (14) situated on the outer lid (3) and wherein the shaft (13) is seated.
  • the handle (6) actuated by the user moves by rotating around the axis of the shaft (13).
  • the handle (6) passes through the hole (11)
  • the handle (6) is provided to be situated between the outer lid (3) and the inner lid (4).
  • the handle (6) is provided to be mounted to the outer lid (3) by means of the shaft (13) and the bearing (14) ( Figure 2, Figure 4, Figure 9).
  • the laundry washing and/or drying machine (1) comprises a hook (15) that provides the lid (5) to be fixed to the body (2), a pin (16) around the axis of which the hook (15) rotates and a spring (17) wrapped around the pin (16) and that provides the hook (15) to return to the free position thereof.
  • the handle (6) actuated by the user moves by rotating. Meanwhile, the hook (15) that bears against the handle (6) rotates around the axis of the pin (16), the spring (17) gets stuck and the hook (15) is provided to move and detach from the body (2) ( Figure 6, Figure 8).
  • the laundry washing and/or drying machine (1) comprises at least one opening (18) situated on the inner member (9) and into which the hook (15) is placed.
  • the opening (18) is situated in the direction where the handle (6) applies force by bearing against the extension (7).
  • the handle (6) being released, the extension (7) gets stuck and provides the handle (6) that bears against the extension (7) to return from the second position (S) to the first position (F) and the hook (15) to be moved and bear against the outer lid (3) ( Figure 2, Figure 3).
  • the extension (7) is of curved configuration.
  • the extension (7) is curvedly shaped and thus the stretching capacity thereof is increased.
  • the handle (6) functions as a lever that provides transmission of force to the extension (7).
  • the handle (6) bears against the extension (7) and provides the extension (7) to be moved.
  • a laundry washing and/or drying machine (1) comprising a lid (5) having an extension (7) that provides the handle (6) to change to the free position by stressing when the user releases the handle (6).
  • the extension (7) being integrated with the inner lid (4), a state of the art additional member such as spring is not required. Thus, number of members is decreased and saving in additional member costs is provided.
