    摘要: A door mechanism, for example for a domestic dishwasher, is disclosed, wherein the door mechanism includes a door latch for holding a door of the dishwasher closed in a closed position, and an electrically controllable door opener for the mechanized partial opening and subsequent closing of the door. The door opener includes coupling members, which can be brought into push- and pull-transmitting but releasable coupling engagement with one another, on the door and on an appliance main body of the dishwasher on which the door is movably mounted. The coupling members, when in coupling engagement, allow forces to be transmitted between the door and the appliance main body in a force transmission path which runs past the door latch. The pull strength of the coupling engagement of the coupling members can be variable in dependence on the position of the door.

    摘要: A domestic dishwashing machine includes a machine body having a dishwashing chamber formed therein, a door that is held on the machine body so as to be pivotable about a horizontal pivot axis, and a door latch. The door latch includes a latch assembly arranged on the machine body and which has a movably arranged closing member and a closing spring arrangement, and an engagement structure arranged on the door, wherein, on closing of the door, the closing member comes into closing engagement with the engagement structure, and a pulling-shut action can be exerted on the door by relaxation of the closing spring arrangement. The door has an internal door lining made of sheet-metal material which extends to a door top edge. The door lining has a first lining wall portion arranged adjacent to the door top edge and extending substantially parallel to the door plane.

    摘要: A domestic appliance, for example a washing machine, comprises a body having an access opening to a process chamber arranged inside the body, a door which is movably attached to the body and which closes the access opening in a closed position, a door-closing mechanism for holding the door closed in its closed position and a door-opening mechanism arranged on the body or on the door, having a push slider, which is movable between a retracted position and a deployed position, and a drive unit for driving the push slider. A transfer of the push slider out of the retracted position into the deployed position effects opening of the closed door, the push slider acts in a pressure-exerting manner on the door or on the body and thereby overcomes a holding-closed action of the door-closing mechanism and opens the closed door.

    摘要: Adoor latch includes a gripper adjustable between a gripping state and a release state, which gripper, in the gripping state, is able to grip a closing member for holding the door closed which moves relatively closer to the gripper in a closing direction as a door of the domestic appliance is closed, and, in the release state, frees the closing member for opening the door, wherein, when the door is closed, the gripping state of the gripper is released by a relative releasing movement of the closing member carried out in the closing direction; and an electrically controllable displacement mechanism for displacing the gripper, under electrical control, from a retracted position into an advanced position against a restoring spring force, which advanced position, when the closing member is gripped, corresponds to a state in which the door is closed to a lesser degree than in the retracted position.

    摘要: A door latch for an electrical appliance includes a rotary gripper movably disposed between a gripping position and a release position with rotational displaceability and having a gripping mouth delimited between a pair of jaws. The rotary gripper is adapted to hold captive a striker in the gripping mouth for holding closed a door of the electrical appliance in the gripping position and to permit release of the striker for opening the door in the release position. The gripping position and the release position correspond to different rotational positions of the rotary gripper. A spring arrangement in the gripping position of the rotary gripper exerts on the rotary gripper a bias which counteracts a movement of the rotary gripper towards the release position. An opener mechanism for opening the closed door includes a movably arranged opening element separate from the striker and a drive unit for driving the opening element.
