Abstract (en)

A device for opening the port-hole door (5) of domestic washing machines comprises a push button (1) built in the door locking assembly (3) itself, in a more cost-effective embodiment, which is also advantageous for the overall appearance of the machine. The push button (1), mounted on the washing machine front wall (7) close to the port-hole (5), carries on the inside of its body a sloping flat surface (11) adapted to come into engagement with a locking slider (11a) for a latch provided for closing the port-hole door (5). Displacement of said slider sets the latch (4) free, whereby the port-hole door (5) can be opened. <IMAGE>
