Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0943284A1] The invention refers to a household device with a casing made from pre-fabricated wall panels, particularly a washing machine or dishwasher, where latching openings are applied to the sheet metal wall panels in which latch elements of a built-in device are inserted and latched from one side or latch elements of an attached device are inserted and latched from the other side, where the latch elements designed as latch springs reach through the latch ring openings with their latch areas at least in part. A particular design of the latch opening means that built-in devices and attached devices can be built-in or attached from the inner side out or from the outer side of the sheet metal wall panel respectively, even if the latch depth of these devices are different and greater than the thickness of the sheet metal wall panel. <IMAGE>
