Abstract (en)
An electrical household appliance (1) has a load-bearing structure (2) and a door (6). The door (6) is hinged in a lower region thereof to the load-bearing structure (2) via at least one hinge (7) so as to turn according to a substantially horizontal axis of rotation between a closed position and an open position, in which the door (6) is substantially vertical and substantially horizontal, respectively. An upper region of the door (6) is provided with a sliding coupling (50), designed to constrain to the door (6) a front panel (12), the coupling (50) being configured for enabling sliding of the front panel (12) with respect to the door (6) in a direction substantially orthogonal to the axis of rotation. The hinge (7) comprises a first part secured to the load-bearing structure (2), a second part secured to the door (6) and an articulation arrangement that connects the first hinge part (13) to the second hinge part (14). The sliding coupling (50) is pre-arranged for enabling also an angular movement of the front panel (12) relative to the door (6) during passage of the latter between its closed and open positions. The hinge (7) comprises a transmission system (40, 42) designed to connect the front panel (12) to the articulation arrangement of the hinge (7) so as to cause both the aforesaid sliding of the front panel (12) and a displacement of a lower region of the front panel (12) into a position at a distance from the door (6), during passage of the door (6) from the closed position to the open position.
