Abstract:
A dishwasher comprising: i) a washing compartment (2) for washing dishes; ii) a door (3) that is movable between an open position, wherein it enables the insertion and removal of the dishes in/from the washing compartment (2), and a closed position, wherein it is substantially vertical and closes an access opening (20) to the washing compartment (2); iii) projection means (4) for projecting a pre-established light signal on a surface external to the dishwasher, the light signal being associated with the washing state in progress or alternatively, with the achievement of the end-of-wash state, said projection means (4) comprising a light source (40). The projection means (4) comprises a concentration lens (41) for concentrating a light beam coming from the light source (40), said concentration lens (41) being external to the door (3) and solidly constrained to a frame (42) that encloses said access opening (20); The light beam is projected by the lens (41) towards the exterior of the dishwasher. Downstream of the lens (41), the light beam extends in a substantially horizontal direction. Downstream of the lens (41), the light beam intersects an imaginary vertical upwards projection of an upper edge (30) of the door (3) considered in the closed position.
Abstract:
A dishwasher rack accessory has a body (20) with a grid-like portion (21) for supporting items to be washed, and means for removable coupling to a dishwasher rack. At least one first part (28) of the grid-like portion is substantially flat for defining a first generally horizontal resting plane for items to be washed. The first part (28) of the grid¬ like portion (21) includes two walls (24) shaped for defining a recurrent pattern that comprises an alternation of crests (24a) and valleys (24b). The two shaped walls (24) extend facing each other between two opposite sides of the grid-like portion (21) in such a way that the facing valleys (24b) of the two shaped walls (24) define between them a plurality of receptacles for positioning respective items to be washed.
Abstract:
A dishwasher rack accessory comprises a tray having an elongated body (20), with a grid-like bottom (21) and a peripheral wall (26) that define a supporting space (27, 28) for items to be washed, and with a releasable coupling guide (29) in each of two opposite end parts of the tray body (20), for removable coupling to a dishwasher rack (8; 8'). The tray body (20) has a handle (30) defined in each of the two opposite end parts, for the lifting of the tray, and has lower rests (31) to keep the grid-like bottom (21) in a raised position with respect to a generic resting surface of the tray, when the latter is removed from the dishwasher tray.

Abstract:
An electrical household appliance has a load-bearing structure, a door constrained to which is a front panel and a hinge (7) for hinging a lower region of the door to the load-bearing structure in such a way that the door can turn according to a substantially horizontal axis of rotation between a closed position and an open position, in which the door is substantially vertical and substantially horizontal, respectively. The hinge (7) comprises a first part (13), pre-arranged for fixing to the load-bearing structure of the electrical household appliance, and a second part (14), which is articulated to the first part (13) and is pre-arranged for fixing to the door of the electrical household appliance. The hinge (7) further comprises a transmission system (16, 18, 20, 22, 28, 29), which is configured for being connected to a front panel slidably carried by the door, the transmission system (16, 18, 20, 22, 28, 29) interacting with the first part (13) and the second part (14) of the hinge (7) and comprising a system of levers (16, 18, 20, 22) that includes at least one first lever (18), pivoted to which is a second lever (22) that connects the first lever (18) to a sliding member (28, 29) configured for fixing to the front panel. According to the invention: - the transmission system (16, 18, 20, 22, 28, 29) of the hinge (7) further comprises a third lever (20), which connects the second hinge part (14) to the first lever (18); - the hinge (7) has a first arrest arrangement (22a) pre-arranged for blocking angular movement of the second lever (22) relative to the first lever (18) in the aforesaid open position of the door (6); and - the hinge (7) has a second arrest arrangement (20a, 26) pre-arranged for blocking angular movement of the third lever (20) relative to the first hinge part (13) in the aforesaid open position of the door (6).
Abstract:
The light beam is projected by the lens towards the exterior of the dishwasher. Downstream of the lens, the light beam extends in a substantially horizontal direction. Downstream of the lens, the light beam intersects an imaginary vertical upwards projection of an upper edge (30) of the door (3) considered in the closed position.

Abstract:
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.
