Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2843104A1] The present invention relates to a door assembly (10;110) for a laundry treatment device (1,100), apt to open or close an opening (4; 104) defined in said laundry treatment device, said door assembly comprising a frame (5,6;105,106), said frame including: o A front door frame (6;106) forming a front surface (6a;106a) of the door assembly, said front surface defining a front plane (PA), said front door frame (6;106) comprising a plurality of coupling elements (21;121) for the coupling to a rear door frame; and o The rear door frame (5;105) forming a rear surface (5b; 105b) of said door assembly, said rear surface defining a closure plane (PB) apt to abut against the opening formed in said laundry treatment device, said rear door frame (5;105) including a plurality of coupling counter-elements (22;122) engaging with said coupling elements (21;121) of said front door frame; o Wherein said coupling elements (21;121) extend from a rear surface (6b;106b) of said front door frame opposite to said front surface and/or said coupling counter-elements (22;122) extend from a front surface (5a;105a) of said rear door frame opposite to said rear surface; and o Wherein a first height (D1) of a first one of said coupling elements from said rear surface (6b;106b) of said front door frame (6; 106) is higher than a second height (D2) of a second one of said coupling elements (21;121) from said rear surface of said front door frame, or a first height (D1) of a first one of said coupling counter-elements (22;122) from said front surface (5a;105a) of said rear door frame (5; 105) is higher than a second height (D2) of a second one of said coupling counter-elements from said front surface of said rear door frame, so that said front plane (PA) and said closure plane (PB) are intersecting one the other forming an angle different from 0° and 180°.
