Apparatus, such as an apparatus examples, relates to a door a horizontal pivot axis and a device for balancing the weight of the door for be equiped of a covering panel.

摘要

Apparatus (100), such as a household electric appliance comprising: & br / - at the front face, a door (20) of access to the inside of the apparatus (100), which is articulated about a horizontal axis (21) and having a casing delimited vertically by a front face and two lateral faces; & br / - a device (10) for balancing the weight of the door (20) in at least a half-open position corresponding to a primer of the opening of this gate (20), which device (10) comprises: & br / * at least one spring (30), a first end is fixed to the door (20), whereas a second end is fixed to a fixing means (22) arranged in such a way that a straight line connecting the first and second ends of the spring (30) is offset relative to the axis of rotation (21) of the door (20), and this by a distance sufficient to allow the creation, by the spring (30), during the beginning of opening the door (20), of a restoring moment which balances at the moment, the opposite direction, the weight of the door (20) with respect to its axis of rotation (21), so that the door (20) is in equilibrium in the aforementioned half-open position corresponding to the length of the opening of this gate (20); & br / * at least one control means (50) of the voltage of the spring (30) and return to equilibrium of the door (20), & br / which return spring and balancing (30) is arranged in the apparatus (100) in the front face. & br / application in the industry for domestic electrical appliances.
