Abstract (en)

[origin: CN110318227A] A sleeve for a laundry treatment appliance (1) and a laundry treatment appliance (1) having a housing (2) and a washing liquor container (4) arranged therein. The sleeve (9) forms a charging channel (10) between a front housing opening (3) and a washing liquid container opening (8) facing the housing opening, and the sleeve has at least one sealing lip (16) which extends circumferentially inward and has an abutment side (18). In order to achieve a reliable door opening function and to render and minimize the holding force exerted by the sealing lip resting on a loading door in a front-end loading laundry treatment machine, the abutment side has a surface structure (20) which comprises at least one projection (21 or 22) that surrounds in the circumferential direction. Preferably, the abutment side has a surface structure which comprises at least two projections (21, 22) which are arranged in the circumferential direction and which are spaced apart in the radial direction by at least onerecess (24).
