Top-Loading Clothes Washing Machine With Lid Enterlock Means

摘要

Top-loading clothes washing machine, comprising: a wash tub, inside which there is arranged a cylindrical drum adapted to rotate about the horizontal axis thereof, wherein said drum is provided with an access or loading port situated on a portion of the cylindrical side surface thereof, at least a flap for closing/opening said drum access port. There is also provided a top lid adapted to close the aperture into the wash tub from above, and hinged with an edge portion thereof on the upper rear edge portion of the outer casing of the machine. Said machine is provided with interference means applied on to a portion of said machine comprised between said drum and said top lid, and adapted to be rotated upwards when the said drum flap is opened, thereby interfering with the top lid. As a result, said interference means will act to make it impossible for the top lid to be closed if the drum flap is not duly closed.
