Safety device for a laundry washing machine

摘要

A safety device for a laundry washing machine or the like where the washing machine comprises a treatment chamber for laundry that is pressurized in order to treat the laundry with a treating agent, for instance, carbon dioxide. The treatment chamber has an inlet opening (13) which during the treatment is covered by a door (16) that is secured to a housing (11) enclosing the chamber by means of a first holder device (35) which is part of a locking means. The locking means also comprises a second holder device (34) which is activated if the first holder device (35) is deactivated and thereby keeps the door (16) in its closed position as long as chamber is pressurized. <IMAGE>
