EMERGENCY DEVICE FOR A HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCE

摘要

An emergency device for a household appliance of the type comprising a door that has a prong is described. The emergency device has an emergency member, movable between a rest position and an operating position, in which the emergency member engages with the prong of the door when the door is in a closed position, and control means, capable to hold the emergency member in the rest position. The control means has a security element, electrically connected to a control logic of the household appliance, such that when the safety element is crossed by a suitable current intensity and/or when a temperature surrounding the safety element exceeds a preset threshold, the security element melts releasing the emergency member, the emergency member passing irreversibly from the rest position to the operating position, engaging with the prong of the door when the door is closed.
