Definitions
- the present invention relates to a household appliance comprising a lockable door.
- a door In household appliances like the refrigerator, washing machine or the dryer, a door is provided that closes the body or a compartment within the body. This door is locked by a locking mechanism.
- the locking mechanisms used particularly in the front loaded washing machines basically comprise a pin situated in the body and a hook on the door that clutches this pin providing to lock the door.
- One end of the hook is rotatably attached preferably to a shaft housed at the inner portion of the door.
- the other end extends towards the pin in the body from an opening on the door.
- the hook that is pushed by a spring towards the pin stays clutched to the pin as long as the door is closed.
- stoppers are used, one situated on the inner plate of the door and the other on the outer plate. When the door assembly is completed, one of these stoppers extend from below and the other from above, each bearing against on one end of the shaft and preventing the shaft from being dislocated from the socket.
- the objective of the present invention is to design a household appliance wherein the shaft can be assembled easily and at the same time is prevented from being dislocated from the hole.
- the household appliance designed to fulfill the objective of the present invention is explicated in the attached claims.
- at least one of the stoppers at one side of the two holes wherein the shaft is housed is of a resilient structure.
- the resiliently structured stopper is composed of two adjacently disposed band shaped thin extensions. While the shaft is passed to the hole, the outwardly resilient extensions depart from each other and allow for the passage of the shaft. After the shaft has passed, the extensions that resume their initial positions close the entrance of the hole together and prevent the dislocation of the shaft. Consequently, it is possible to support the shaft from both sides and also prevent it from unwanted dislocation from the holes. Since both of the stoppers are situated on the same element of the door, the problem of breakage of the shaft or the stoppers during assembly is also solved.
- the extensions are positioned angularly to the shaft axis.
- the stoppers gradually get closer to each other in the direction that the shaft passes while being inserted in the holes. Consequently, it is easier for the shaft to enter in between the stoppers in the direction of entrance to the hole, and on the contrary, gets harder in the exit direction.
- Figure 1 - is the perspective view of a household appliance.
- Figure 2 - is the A-A sectional view.
- Figure 3 - is the top view of the locking mechanism inside the door.
- Figure 4 - is the perspective view of the locking mechanism inside the door before it passes through the shaft extensions.
- Rgure 5 - is the perspective view of the locking mechanism inside the door as it passes through the shaft stoppers.
- Rgure 6 - is the perspective view of the locking mechanism inside the door after the shaft is seated in the holes.
- the household appliance (1) of the present invention for example a washing machine, dryer etc. comprises a body (2), a door (3) that provides access into the body (2) and a locking mechanism (11) providing the door (3) to be locked to the body (2) (Rgure 1).
- the locking mechanism (11) comprises:
- a hook (7) one end of which is attached inside the door (3), and the other end goes out from the door (3) extending towards the body (2),
- the household appliance (1) of the present invention furthermore comprises two stoppers (9, 90) that extend towards the front of the holes (5), preventing the shaft (6) from being dislocated by being positioned on the fitting path of the shaft (6) to the holes (5).
- the stoppers (9, 90) extend from the plane wherein the vertical elements (12) are situated inside the door (3) to the space inside the door (3) in the same direction as the vertical elements (12).
- the stoppers (9, 90) are outside the region between the two vertical elements (12), on the axis (X) that joins the centers of the holes (5).
- the shaft (6) and the vertical elements (12) are disposed in between the two stoppers (9, 90).
- the stoppers (9, 90) close the entrance of the holes (5). Therefore, at least one of the stoppers (90) has a resilient structure so that the shaft (6) can pass over the stoppers (9, 90) and be fitted in the holes (5) (Rgure 1).
- the resiliently structured stopper (90) comprises two extensions (10) that extend side by side, allowing the shaft (6) to be passed in between them to be fitted in the holes (5) and to be released from the holes (5).
- the shortest distance between the two extensions (10) is shorter than the diameter of the shaft (6).
- the two extensions (10) stretch by going away from each other with the force applied by the shaft (6), allowing the shaft (6) to pass.
- the extensions (10) stretch back nearing each other, preventing the dislocation of the shaft (6) by closing the entrance of the hole (5) (Rgure 2).
- the extensions (10) also help the shaft (6) to be directed towards the holes (5).
- the extension (10) is designed like a leaf in order to be able to stretch.
- the extension (10) should stretch in the direction perpendicular to the shaft (6) axis (X), but not in the direction of the axis (X) so that the stopper (90) can serve its purpose. Therefore the wall thickness of the extension (10) in the direction that is approximately perpendicular to the axis (X) is much thinner than its width in approximately the direction of the axis (X).
- the two extensions (10) are positioned symmetrically to each other with respect to the shaft axis (X), with an angle in between thereof.
- the apex of this angle is closer to the vertical element (12).
- the extensions (10) are disposed such that they can come closer to each other in the direction of the shaft (6) fitting.
- the distance between the two extensions (10) is shorter than the diameter of the shaft (6) near the hole (5) and is longer farther away.
- the distance between the two stoppers (9, 90) is preferably such that it allows for small amplitude longitudinal movements of the shaft (6) but prevents its dislocation from the holes (5) (Rgure 6). Accordingly, the shaft (6) is bound in the perpendicular direction to the axis (X) by means of the holes (5) and bound along the axis (X) by means of the stoppers (9, 90), providing a more dur ble mechanism. If the shaft (6) needs to be dislocated for any reason, it can be tdcen out of the holes (5) by moving apart the extensions (10) from each other.
- the portions of the extension (10) that the shaft (6) first bears against as it enters the holes (5) are rounded. Consequently, the shaft (6) can be passed between the extensions (10) without causing any damage.
- the locking mechanism (11) furthermore comprises a handle (4) attached to the shaft (6) providing to move the hook (7) (Rgure 2).
- the shaft (6) is prevented from being dislocated by being bound from both ends by the extensions (10) and also easy fitting is provided. Consequently, a household appliance (1) is provided comprising a more dur ble locking mechanism (11) which can be easily assembled.

Abstract
La présente invention concerne un appareil électroménager (1) qui comprend une porte (3) fermée par une serrure. Dans ledit appareil électroménager (1) une butée (9, 90) est disposée de chaque côté du trou (5). A moins une des butées (9, 90) comporte une structure élastique. En conséquence, la butée (90) se plie pour quitter le chemin de raccord de l'arbre (6) alors que l'arbre (6) est raccordé dans les trous (5), autorisant le passage de l'arbre (6), et reprend sa position initiale après que l'arbre (6) soit logé dans les trous (5), prévenant ainsi la dislocation de l'arbre (6).
