  • Patent number: 12239273
    Abstract: A cover assembly for mounting in a domestic dishwasher, for example, is proposed. The cover assembly includes a pivoting cover which is mounted on a support component and is to close an opening, wherein the pivoting cover has a cover part and a closure part which is movable relative to the cover part. The cover part has sealing faces which, on closing of the pivoting cover, come into sealing contact with sealing counter-faces encircling the opening. There are formed on the closure part engagement formations which, in a closed pivot position of the pivoting cover, can be brought into and out of holding-closed engagement with engagement counter-formations by relative movement between the closure part and the support component. The cover part is mounted on the closure part and is supported via the closure part on the support component.

  • Patent number: 11889965
    Abstract: A mechanism for the door of a domestic electrical appliance, for example a dishwasher, is described. The mechanism includes a door latch for holding the door closed, a latch opener mechanism, an electrically controlled actuator for displacing the latch opener mechanism, a movably arranged pusher, and a spring device for providing a spring force which acts on the pusher. The latch opener mechanism functions such that, when the door is closed, it can be transferred from an inactive position into an active position while at least partially overcoming a holding-closed action of the door latch. The movably arranged pusher is separate from the latch opener mechanism and is decoupled therefrom in terms of movement. After the holding-closed action of the door latch has been overcome, the spring drive allows the door to be pushed open by the pusher.

  • Publication number: 20230119079
    Abstract: 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.
