Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0091668A2] A drum for a washing machine of the top-loading type has a peripheral access opening provieded with a pair of door flaps hinged to opposite lateral edges thereof and mutually engageable for retainment in the closed position. The hinge connection between each door flap and the respective edge portion of the opening is formed by a rounded edge portion of the door flap rotatably received in a correspondingly rounded portion of the hinge element secured to the drum along the respective edge portion of the opening. The rounded portions of the door flaps and hinge elements each present a rectilinear profile, thus precluding the danger of the laundry being caught therebetween.
