Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3511464A1] The present invention relates to the technical field of washing machines, and discloses a decorative plate, a handle element, a handle, a washing product accommodation box, and a washing machine. The decorative plate comprises a plate body (1) provided with fasteners on its back surface opposite to its decorative surface, wherein, the fasteners comprise double-side fasteners (2), each of which includes a fastening stub (3) that projects outwardly from the back surface and has opposite protruding hooks (4) that are formed on opposite sides of the fastening stub and protrude outwardly from the respective sides. Thus, any other supporting member is avoided between the protruding hooks and the decorative plate, except the fastening stubs; besides, the fastening stubs directly project outwardly from the decorative plate, e.g., integrally, and thereby the strength of the fastening stubs is improved significantly. In that way, when the decorative plate is assembled, the fastening stubs are inserted into a mounting base, e.g. into corresponding double-side fastening holes (12) in a handle element, so that the protruding hooks push aside two opposite fastening edges (14) in each of the double-side fastening holes and are snap-fitted in the double-side fastening holes; in such a way, the double-side fasteners have smaller deformation, and are not easy to break, subject to smaller insertion resistance, and easy to assemble.
