Abstract: A mechanism for locking a door of an electric household appliance is improved in that a slider jaw is hinged to a body of a slider in such manner that, by its tooth, it snaps or releases a head of a latch and that the slider jaw is provided with an opening finger, and a mechanism housing is provided with a hindering element, which thrusts the opening finger of the slider jaw, when the slider moves in direction of the force of the spring, so that the slider jaw gets open. The slider body and the slider jaw are preferably made of different materials: the slider body of a polyoxymethylene copolymer and the slider jaw of a polyamide or of a ZL4 alloy having a composition Zn:A14:Cu1. The proposed mechanism is not susceptible to plastic deformation of the junction area between the slider body and the slider jaw.

Abstract: A safety lock for a door of a household appliance, preferably of a washing machine, includes a housing on one end of which there is a mechanical assembly of the door lock, on the other end there is an assembly of the electric switch used to reach closed or interrupted electric circuit, into which also a part of a programme selection switch is included, whereby the assembly of the door lock and the assembly of the electric switch are mutually linked by a slider, which is designed in a way that its lug engages with the hook of the appliance door, when the hook is in the guide, so that upon manual closing of the appliance door the hook pushes the slider towards the assembly when entering the guide.

Abstract: A position transducer of water level in a machine basin, preferably in a drum-type washing machine or a dishwasher and the like, transforms information relating to the water level in the flood basin of the machine into an electric signal to activate an execution organ. The circuit realizing the transformation is an embedded contact lamella provided with electronic members. Integrally with the step of embedding, a snap arrangement is prepared for engaging and retaining a connector connected to the circuit.
