Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0518147A1] Door interlock device for clothes washing and/or drying machines, comprising a traditional-type electromechanical actuator (4) with a bimetallic element for the delayed release of the lock (86) of the loading door of the machine, a plurality of functional parts (14, 15, 16, 17) and an electronic microprocessor arrangement (8) incorporating safety means adapted to enable the door lock to be released for opening only when pre-set values are reached as far as the temperature of the wash liquor (or the drying air, as the case may be), the level of the wash liquor and the rotation speed of the clothes holding drum are concerned. Device further provided with an electric push-button switch (5) connected with said microprocessor arrangement (8) and adapted to enable, under the control of said microprocessor arrangement, the door to be actuated for opening through a cam (90) of a rotary selector means (64), which actuates a string (87) connected to a lever (94) having its fulcrum in the lock (86) and acting on the door latch (98) so as to release and open it when said rotary selector means (64) is actuated accordingly. Device of simple and reliable construction, adapted to be used particularly in those machines that are not provided with a door handle. <IMAGE>
