Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0480156A1] The opening (2) of the door frame (3) for the frontal access opening has, at least approximately, the shape of a rectangle, in which the sides (9, 10) form outwardly curved chords of an imaginary circumcircle around the opening (2) and the corners (11, 16) have a curvature which is constant in relation to the side lines (9, 10) but greater in comparison with them. As a result, the opening of the door frame can be considerably enlarged and nevertheless a relatively high border with the bottom edge of the door frame can remain between the drum interior and the exterior. The risk of items of washing falling out of the drum when the door is open is thereby minimised. <IMAGE>
