Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0829600A1] A locking device for a door of a compartment of a household appliance, comprising a handle (6) and an elastically deformable bolt (10) provided with a hook (12) suitable for cooperating with a harpoon (5) provided on one edge (4) of said compartment (1) to keep said door closed, the handle and the bolt being integrally made of an elastically deformable material. Said handle is hinged to said door so as to be orientable in a first angular position in which said hook leans out of one edge of the door for engaging with said harpoon and in a second angular position in which said hook is withdrawn as to the edge of the door for disengaging from said harpoon. Said bolt further comprises elastic biassing means (13) that tend to keep the handle in said first position. <IMAGE>
