Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2006026949A1] The invention relates to a measuring device (1, 16) comprising an optical sensory array for determining changes in the position of a drum (27) which is mounted in a washing machine (26) at least so as to be pivotable about a swiveling axis (5a). The sensory array is provided with at least one light sensor (3, 21), at least one modifiable light passage (4, 19), and at least one light source (2, 20). The light sensor (3, 21) is directed to portions of light (2, 20) which are emitted by the light source (2, 20), are dependent upon changes in the light passage (4, 19), and impinge the light sensor (3, 21).
