Abstract (en)
The drum has a one-piece door (31) which has a wider section adjacent to its hinge (32) on the curved wall of the drum (24). The wider section of the door interacts with at least one lug (33, 34) projecting from the drum and acting as stops for the door. The length of the door's wider section is limited by its need to engage with the lug(s), which are in one piece and can be molded with the drum. The door is held in the closed position by a catch (72), while a spring (75) on the hinge holds the door open when the catch is released.
