Definitions

  • the present invention generally relates to the field of laundry treatment appliances (hereinafter, concisely,“laundry appliances”), and particularly to laundry appliances for treating, e.g. washing, items (such as linen, clothes, garments, shoes, and the like), such as laundry washing appliances and laundry washing appliances also implementing laundry drying functions (also referred to as washers/dryers). More particularly, the present invention relates to a laundry appliance with an improved and user-friendly drawer.
  • a laundry appliance typically comprises a drawer having drawer compartments for containing one or more treatment agents (such as liquid and powder treatment agents), and a drawer seat for slidably housing the drawer within it.
  • treatment agents such as liquid and powder treatment agents
  • a typical drawer comprises one or more components that can be actuated by the user (hereinafter, actuatable components).
  • actuatable components of the drawer are a detach component for allowing a drawer handle to be detached from a drawer body, one or more adapter components each one configured to be reversibly inserted into a respective drawer compartment for adapting it to liquid or powder treatment agents, an extraction component for reversibly extracting the drawer from the drawer seat, one or more access components (e.g., doors) for selectively accessing respective drawer compartment(s), and one or more plug components for selectively plugging or unplugging emptying holes of respective drawer compartments.
  • access components e.g., doors
  • the access components typically comprises a number of doors each one associated with a respective drawer compartment.
  • the drawers of currently marketed laundry appliances, especially of high quality laundry appliances, comprise each one a relatively high number of drawer compartments, and hence a relatively high number of doors associated threwith. Summary of invention
  • the Applicant has realized that a high number of doors in a drawer, besides being not very gratifying for the user in terms of aesthetics, may also negatively affect user experience when the user interacts with it.
  • a drawer having a relatively high number of doors may be discouraging for the user, in that the user has to remember associations between the doors and the respective drawer compartments. This could cause risks of confusion that could be frustrating for the user.
  • relatively frequent undesired actuations of the doors in the attempt to identify a desired drawer compartment may lead to a premature wear of the doors.
  • a relatively high number of doors makes drawer aesthetics not at all pleasant, rather the resulting drawer aesthetics could instead give to the user a feeling of low attention to detail: in fact, a relatively high number of doors typically results in differences in heights among the doors (due to unavoidable manufacturing tolerances), and in an excessive number of unaesthetic door contour lines (due to the gaps, between the doors and the rest of the drawer, allowing actuation of the doors) which could be in contrast with a fine and minimal appearance of the rest of the drawer. Therefore, user perception of the laundry appliance (and hence customer loyalty towards the laundry appliance manufacturer) may be negatively affected.
  • An aspect of the present invention relates to a drawer for a laundry treatment appliance.
  • the drawer comprises a drawer body having at least two compartments each one adapted to contain multiple doses of a respective laundry treatment agent for performing multiple laundry treatment cycles.
  • the drawer also comprises, associated with the at least two compartments, at least two access openings each one for accessing a respective one of said at least two compartments for laundry treatment agent loading.
  • the drawer further comprises a single door associated with the at least two access openings; the door is actuatable between open and closed positions for uncovering and covering, respectively, said at least two access openings jointly.
  • the drawer further comprises a drawer cover for covering the drawer body; preferably, the door is coupled or coupleable to the drawer cover at said at least two access openings.
  • the drawer comprises a recessed area being recessed with respect to a top profile of the drawer cover; said at least two openings are preferably formed in said recessed area.
  • the door fits said recessed area and is preferably flush with the top profile of the drawer body when the door is in the closed position.
  • the door comprises a sealing member.
  • the sealing member is overmolded to a body of said door.
  • said sealing member has an appearance feature standing out from a generally uniform appearance of the drawer.
  • said appearance feature comprises a color.
  • the recessed area comprises first and second recessed side portions of the drawer body, the first and second recessed side portions of the drawer body preferably opening to respective side edge portions of the drawer body.
  • the recessed area comprises a recessed area of the drawer cover;

  • the door advantageously comprises an abutment portion that, when the door is in the closed position, abuts on a portion of the rim region, preferably a front portion of the rim region (in use, the front portion of the rim region being for example proximal to a drawer handle).
  • the sealing member preferably comprises said abutment portion.
  • the door comprises at least one grip portion for actuating the door.
  • each one of said at least one grip portion faces a respective one of said recessed side portions of the drawer body when the door is in the closed position.
  • the at least one grip portion is formed in a single piece with the abutment portion.
  • the abutment portion has a first thickness and the grip portion has a second thickness, the second thickness being preferably lower than the first thickness.
  • each one of said at least one grip portion is flush with the top profile of said side edge portions of the drawer body when the door is in the closed position.

  • the at least one grip portion is formed in a single piece with the abutment portion.
  • the door has a first surface that, when the door is in the closed condition, faces the at least two compartments, and a second surface; the second surface is preferably opposite the first surface.
  • the door preferably comprises, on at least one between the first and second surfaces, at least two function indicators for allowing the user to recognize a function, preferably a function of said at least two compartments.
