Abstract: A latch device for a swing door of an electric household appliance, includes a support fixable to the door; a fork-shaped latch member fitted in rotary manner to the support to cooperate, in use, with a fixed striker of the appliance; and a control button fitted to the support to slide in opposition to a first elastic element. The latch member is movable, in opposition to a second elastic element on the support, between a first operating position, in which it does not engage the striker, and a second operating position, in which it does engage the striker. A contact member is fitted to the support to slide parallel to the control button in opposition to a third elastic element, and operatively interposed between the control button and the latch member to selectively lock the latch member in the second operating position, and to be selectively locked by the latch member when the latch member is in the first operating position.

Abstract: A device for opening a door of an electric household appliance; the door swinging about an axis of rotation between an open position, into which it is pushed by elastic means, and a closed position, in which it is retained, with the interposition of a peripheral seal, resting against a door stop of a door opening of the appliance, by releasable retaining means; and the device including a supporting member fixable integrally to the door; a button fitted integrally to the supporting member to stay, in use, on the same side of an outer surface of the door, and which is pressure-operated in opposition to first elastic means; a push member fitted to the supporting member to slide, in opposition to second elastic means and along an axis substantially perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the door, between an extracted position extracted from a seat on the supporting member, and a withdrawn position housed inside the seat, which is formed at and substantially flush with the peripheral seal; and bolt means for sel
