Abstract (en)
The invention relates to an appliance (1), especially to a domestic appliance, comprising a housing element (2), wherein a door (3) is arranged at the housing element (2), which door (3) can be positioned in a closed position (C) and in an opened position (O), wherein a child lock device (4) is arranged which can prevent the opening of the door (3) when the door (3) is in its closed position (C). To obtain a compact design and a secure locking of the appliance which makes it impossible for a child to open the door of the appliance, the invention is characterized in that the child lock device (4) comprises a hook element (5) which is arranged in or at the door (3), a catch element (6) designed to cooperate with the hook element (5), wherein the catch element (6) is arranged in the housing element (2), wherein the catch element (6) can move in a translational direction (T), for being in engagement with the hook element (5) to prevent the opening of the door (3) or for being in disengagement with the hook element (5) to allow an opening of the door (3), an activator element (7) for actuating the catch element (6), wherein the activator element (7) is arranged to be moved in a translational direction (U) to move the catch element (6) in its position in which it is disengaged with the hook element (5), and transmission means (8) to transmit the translational movement of the activator element (7) in its translational direction (U) into a translational movement of the catch element (6) in its translational direction (T).
