  • Publication number: 20230270314
    Abstract: A dishwasher having a chamber, and a door assembly having a chamber door movable between closed and open positions. The door has an access aperture to access an adjusting member for adjusting a position of a decorative front panel relative to the door, and a sliding member that slides along a sliding axis during door movement. The sliding member is configured to slide the decorative front panel relative to the door along the sliding axis during door movement. A cover is mounted on the door assembly and configured to take a first operative position in which it uncovers the access aperture and a second operative position in which it covers at least partially the access aperture. The cover mechanically cooperates with the sliding member to automatically move from the first operative position to the second operative position in response to the sliding of the sliding member.

  • Patent number: 11202551
    Abstract: A dishwasher may include a frame defining a treatment chamber for items to be washed; a door for selectively accessing the treatment chamber, the door including a door panel; and at least one coupling system for coupling a decorative front panel to the door panel. The at least one coupling system may include a support member coupled to the door panel; a sliding member coupled to the decorative front panel and slidably coupled to the support member for sliding with respect and parallel thereto, such that the sliding of the sliding member with respect to the support member causes the sliding of the decorative front panel with respect to the door panel; and a regulation group including a rotatable regulation member that can be rotated by a user and a conversion member coupled to the regulation member and to the sliding member for converting a rotation of the regulation member into the sliding of the sliding member.

  • Patent number: 11202552
    Abstract: Embodiments of a dishwasher may include a frame defining a treatment chamber for items to be washed, and at least one coupling system for coupling the frame to furniture walls. Each one of the at least one coupling system may include a support element coupled with the frame with the possibility of moving with respect to the frame, the support element being further adapted to be fixed to a corresponding furniture wall by means of a fastening member; and a regulation element coupled with the support element and operable to cause a movement of the frame with respect to the support element after the support element is fixed to the corresponding furniture wall.

  • Patent number: 8985717
    Abstract: Hinge assembly for household appliances having an horizontally-pivoted front door, and which comprises: a first coupling element; a second coupling element; and a door-weight balancing device; the door-weight balancing device in turn comprising a supporting rod; a compression-preloaded elastically-deformable member which is fitted to the supporting rod so as to have a first end firmly fixed to the distal end of the supporting rod and a second end; a linking mechanism which connects the proximal end of the supporting rod to the second coupling element, so that the supporting rod is axially moved to further compress the elastically-deformable member when the second coupling element rotates from the first to the second working position; and an adjustable spacer element which is structured so to allow a manually-operated adjustment, thus varying the compression preload of the elastically-deformable member fitted on the supporting rod.

  • Publication number: 20130214663
    Abstract: Hinge assembly (1) for household appliances (2) having an horizontally-pivoted front door (4), and which comprises: a first coupling element (6) structured for being firmly fixed to the household appliance casing (3); a second coupling element (7) structured for being firmly fixed to the front-door body (4), and which is pivotally jointed to the first coupling element (6) so as to be able to rotate about a given articulation axis (R), between a first working position wherein the front door (4) is arranged in the raised position, and a second working position wherein the front door (4) is arranged in the completely lowered position; and a door-weight balancing device (9) which is interposed between the first (6) and the second coupling element (7) and is structured to elastically hamper rotation of the second coupling element (7) at least from the first to the second working position; the door-weight balancing device (9) in turn comprising a supporting rod (10) which extends in sliding manner through a support
