Problems solved by technology

[0008] However, the manufacture of such hinges comprising a number of individual parts is complex and relatively expensive
The two axes of rotation make the hinge heavy and unstable, and securing the hinge to the door requires a very stable frame due to the large weight

Embodiment Construction

[0026] Figure 1 shows a housing 1 of a tumble dryer, which is loadable from the front side and has a door 2 which is pivotally hinged on one side. The door 2 for closing the load port comprises a two-part plastic frame 6 with a recessed glass window 3 . The door 2 is hinged to the appliance housing 1 by means of a hinge 4 . Opposite the hinge 4 , the integrally formed door handle 5 is offset upwards in the edge region of the frame 6 . When the door 2 is pivoted, the edge 22 tilts behind the hinge arm ( 21 , FIG. 6 ), so that the hinge arm 21 protrudes into the slot 23 of the edge 22 .

[0027] According to FIGS. 2 to 4 , the hinge 4 comprises two parts, the door-side hinge part 12 and the appliance-side hinge part 16 , which are connected to one another via only one axis of rotation 8 . The axis of rotation 8 of the hinge 4 divides into two. The crescent-shaped base plate 26 of the door-side hinge part 12 traverses the transverse opening 11 ( FIG. 7 ) in the door frame 6 , ...

Abstract

A door 2 for closing a washing machine which can be loaded from the front or a tumble dryer of this type is connected to the housing 1 by means of a hinge 4 in such a way that the door 2 can be pivoted over a great opening angle and terminates flushly or approximately flushly to the outside with the front face of the housing 1. To this end, the door-side hinge part 12 is installed and fastened in a recessed receptacle 9 between the frame parts 17 and 18 of the door 2. The hinge parts 12 and 16 each have a crescent-shaped base plate 26 and 27 which extends along the door frame 6 and reaches beyond the lateral apertures 11, 20 and the bearing blocks which are provided in the frame.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a door for closing a front loading opening in the housing of a washing machine or tumble dryer, wherein the two door housings are connected to the housing by means of hinges so that the door can pivot through at least approximately 180° of opening angled and, in the closed position, embedded in the front wall recess so that the door ends are flush or nearly flush with the front side surface of the housing. Background technique [0002] In such commercially available appliances, the door is fitted with a transparent cup-shaped window which is inserted between a retaining ring formed on the inside of the door frame and the frame of the front side panel, and which is mechanically secure through two The connections of the frame parts are locked in place. The stability of the door depends roughly on the frame made of plastic. The door is given the necessary flexural and torsional rigidity due to the shape of the frame parts and th...
