Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a washer/dryer comprising a lock.
  • the door used for loading and unloading the laundry is enabled to be kept in the closed position by means of a lock.
  • locking is realized by the placement of a latch disposed on the door into a lock disposed on the front wall of the body.
  • the components which constitute the lock are provided in groups.
  • the lock group is realized by entirely inserting the lock orifice where the hook enters from the rear side of the front wall through an opening arranged on the front wall and by fixing the same in this position.
  • the locks are provided with at least one flexing member.
  • the forces acting on the components which constitute the lock as the hook engages with and separated from the lock cause deformations and malfunctions in time.
  • a household appliance comprising a locking group which is mounted in an engaged manner by being inserted into the front wall from one side and rotatably slid.
  • the aim of the present invention is the realization of a washer/dryer comprising a lock with improved safety which can be easily mounted.
  • the washer/dryer realized in order to attain the aim of the present invention, explicated in the first claim and the respective claims thereof, comprises a front wall, and an opening which is provided on the front wall and which enables the laundry to be loaded.
  • the opening is accessed by means of a door which can be opened and closed by the user.
  • a hole is provided on the periphery of the opening on the front wall.
  • a lock which is mounted onto the front wall and which has a body positioned behind the hole is inserted into the hole.
  • a hook provided on the door is inserted into a hook housing on the body by being passed through the hole, and the door is enabled to be closed by inserting the hook into the lock.
  • a hook holder is provided on the body.
  • the hook holder By means of the hook holder, the hook holder holds the hook seated onto the lock as the door is closed, thus keeping the door in the closed position.
  • the hook holder is positioned so as to contact at least one surface of the hook housing.
  • At least one flexing member is provided between the hook holder and the side section of the body so as to enable the hook holder to perform the movement required for holding the hook inserted into the hook housing.
  • the washer/dryer of the present invention comprises a blocking member which is arranged on the body.
  • the blocking member contacts at least one surface of the hook holder.
  • a second flexing member which is squeezed due to the force transmitted by the hook while being inserted into the hook housing is provided at the rear side of the blocking member.
  • the second flexing member enables the blocking member to make a rotational movement. With the movement of the blocking member, the force exerted onto the first flexing member is removed and the flexing member transmits a force onto the hook holder. Thus, the hook holder covers the hook, keeping the door in the closed position.
  • the washer/dryer comprises the hook holder which has at least one angled surface contacting the blocking member.
  • the washer/dryer comprises the blocking member which has at least one angled surface contacting the hook holder.
  • the washer/dryer comprises the first flexing member in the form of a spring.
  • the washer/dryer comprises the second flexing member in the form of a spring.
  • the washer/dryer comprises the blocking member having the second flexing member which is positioned behind the end thereof contacting the hook holder.
  • the washer/dryer comprises a blocking member housing which is arranged on the body.
  • the blocking member housing has a form suitable for receiving an end of the blocking member which does not contact the hook holder. Thereby, by means of the force exerted by the hook, the blocking member rotates about a fixed end and the hook holder is released so as to cover the hook inserted into the lock, thus keeping the door closed.
  • a washer/dryer comprising a lock with improved safety is realized, wherein the hook holder enables the door to be kept closed by covering the hook when the hook is inserted into the hook housing.
  • the washer/dryer (1) comprises a front wall (2); an opening (4) which is arranged on the front wall (2) and which provides access into the drum (3) wherein the laundry is loaded; a door (5) which closes the opening (4); a hole (6) which is arranged on the periphery of the opening (4) on the front wall (2); a lock (7) which is mounted to the front wall (2), which is mounted into the hole (6) and which has a body (8) positioned behind the hole (6); a hook (9) which is provided on the door (5); a hook housing (10) which is arranged on the body (8) and which passes through the hole (6) when the door (5) is closed so as to enable the hook (9) to be inserted into the lock (7); a hook holder (11) which is disposed on the body (8) so as to contact at least one surface of the hook housing (10) wherein the hook (9) is inserted; and at least one first flexing member (12) which is arranged between the hook holder (11) and the side section of the body (8) and which allows
  • the washer/dryer (1) of the present invention comprises a blocking member (13) which is arranged on the body (8).
  • the blocking member (13) contacts at least one surface of the hook holder (11).
  • a second flexing member (14) which is squeezed due to the force transmitted by the hook (9) while being inserted into the hook housing (10) is provided at the rear side of the blocking member (13).
  • the second flexing member (14) enables the blocking member (13) to make a rotational movement.
  • the hook (9) is inserted the hook housing (10) by means of the blocking member (13) without contacting the hook holder (11).
  • the force exerted onto the first flexing member (12) is removed and the first flexing member (12) transmits a force onto the hook holder (11).
  • the hook holder (1) covers the hook (9), keeping the door (5) in the closed position.
  • the washer/dryer (1) comprises the hook holder (11) having at least one first angled surface (A) which contacts the blocking member (13).
  • the hook (9) is enabled to slidably move over the blocking member (13) in a decelerating manner during the insertion of the hook (9) into the hook housing (10), thus increasing the closing duration of the door (5) and decreasing the closing noise.
  • the washer/dryer (1) comprises the hook holder (13) having at least one second angled surface (B) which contacts the hook holder (11).
  • the hook holder (11) exerts force onto the flexing members (12, 14).
  • the reaction force acting against the force applied is absorbed.
  • the washer/dryer (1) comprises the lock (7) wherein a spring is used as the first flexing member (12).
  • the washer/dryer (1) comprises the lock (7) wherein a spring is used as the second flexing member (14).
  • the washer/dryer (1) comprises the blocking member (13) having the second flexing member (14) which is positioned behind the end thereof contacting the hook holder (11). During the opening of the door (5), the hook (9) enables the hook holder (11) to be pushed onto the first flexing member (12).
  • the washer/dryer (1) comprises a blocking member housing (15) which is arranged on the body (8).
  • the blocking member housing (15) has a form suitable for receiving an end of the blocking member (13) which does not contact the hook holder (11). Thereby, by means of the force exerted by the hook (9), the blocking member (13) rotates around a fixed end and the hook holder (11) is released so as to cover the hook (9) inserted into the lock (7), thus keeping the door (5) closed.
  • the washer/dryer (1) is realized, comprising the lock (7), wherein the forces acting on the hook holder (11) and the blocking member (13) are adjusted during the opening/closing of the door (5) depending on the movement of the hook (9) inside the hook housing (10).
