Abstract (en)

A seal to be applied along the bottom side of the door (S) of a dishwasher is made up of an upper rigid part (R), provided with longitudinal ribs (N) and a hole (C) for securing it to the door (S), connected by co-extrusion to a lower elastic part shaped substantially as an inverted Y, so that when the door (S) is closed a top arm (M) abuts along the top edge of the tank (V) and a bottom arm (L) is in contact with the tank (V) at a lower position, the arm (L) being sized and shaped to remain always in contact with the tank (V) of the dishwasher at any position of the door (S). This seal is designed in particular for a built-in dishwasher having a door (S) which is provided with a decorative panel (P) and rotates around hinges which determine not only the rotation but also the raising of the door (S) so as to allow the panel (P) to climb over a bottom plinth. <IMAGE>
