Definitions

  • the invention relates to an improved type of washing machine or clothes drier of the domestic top-loading type.
  • Washing machines of the domestic top-loading type where the control device for opening the top door or lid is arranged generally in an upper or inclined portion of the upper part of the unit of the said machine.
  • This configuration therefore allows access to and operation of the control panel only when said hatch, i.e. said foldable parts thereof, is/are closed.
  • this feature means that operation of the associated control devices must be performed by means of one hand which performs a precise movement from the top downwards.
  • a top-loading washing machine comprising two waterproof reed switches to detect the opening and the closing of the lid respectively, a driving/rotating means for raising and lowering the lid, a switch for activating the driving/rotating means, which is located at the front and lower portion of the outer casing.
  • a top-loading appliance includes a door pivotally mounted over an access opening.
  • a push-push latch normally retains the door in a closed position.
  • a gas-charged cylinder or strut is mounted within the appliance and connected to one end of a lever arm, with the other end of the lever arm being connected to the door for automatically move the door to the open position after the latch has been released.
  • a front-loading appliance comprising a push to open door opening assembly including an opening piece positioned between front and back panels of a substantially hollow door with a pushbutton section projecting through the front panel and an actuator ram projecting through the back panel.
  • a fulcrum point is provided and an integral spring maintains the fulcrum against the front panel and the pushbutton projecting through the front panel. Actuation of the pushbutton pivots the device around the fulcrum against the spring to force the actuator ram from the rear panel into contact with an appliance cabinet wall thereby biasing the door away from the cabinet wall and overcoming a releasable closure device which maintains the door in a closed position.
  • a top-loading washing machine or clothes drier provided with means for opening the top lid, which may be operated by the user also without using one hand and in particular which can also be reached easily by other parts of the user's body and preferably by the hips of the said user.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide said control device in a position situated in the upper zone of the panel or front surface of the machine.
  • a domestic top-loading washing machine or clothes drier according to the known art comprises a tub containing a rotating drum (not shown) inside which the washing load is introduced.
  • Said machine is composed externally of a parallelepiped unit, the top side of which is formed by a top lid 1 which is normally hinged in the rear zone 3 thereof and which closes the top surface of the machine body underneath, which terminates towards the top in a surface, usually an edge 2, which delimits from the top the hopper part which leads from the top into the said tub.
  • the unit has, towards the front, a vertical front side 4 inside which locking means (not shown) are fitted, said locking means being able to engage with corresponding engaging members situated underneath said lid.
  • Said locking and engaging means are used to lock the lid 1 against said edge 2 when said lid is lowered into the closing position, while mutual release thereof is performed by means of suitable members which can be operated manually and are arranged on the rear part of the top side of the machine or on any other part of the lid or in any case on the top part of the machine.
  • control means for opening the lid are generally not situated on the surface of the machine directed upwards, but consist of a simple pressure-operated part 5 which is fairly wide as shown in the figures and is arranged in the top_and front zone of the machine and therefore in a position which can be readily accessed by the user.
  • this pressure-operated part is suitably chosen so that the user may operate it by simply pressing against it with a part of the body, typically by means of a side pressure of the hip, i.e. without releasing the load held in the hands.
  • said pressure-operated part 5 is preferably arranged on the front portion 6 of the lid 1, both so as to avoid complications in the design of the unit and so that it is positioned at the correct height.
  • said pressure-operated part usually causes release of the engaging means 10 which are obviously mounted in a suitable and bottom zone of the said hatch 1.
  • said machine is therefore provided with braking means which permanently control the movement between said lid and the machine body.
  • said braking means substantially consists of a damping piston 9 which has two arms on which the thrust to be attenuated is applied and which must therefore function reactively, a first arm 9A being connected to the lid 1 and the second arm 9B being connected to the rear portion 11 of said top surface or top edge (2).
