The present application concerns a telescopic rail comprising a first rail element, at least one further rail element and at least one rolling body cage for positioning a plurality of rolling bodies between two rail elements, wherein the rolling body cage has at least two receiving limbs having a respective plurality of through openings, wherein the receiving limbs together have a cross-section partially enclosing an internal space, and a plurality of rolling bodies received in the through openings in the receiving limbs, wherein the rolling body cage is arranged with the rolling bodies between the first rail element and the further rail element. According to the invention it is proposed that such a telescopic rail be modified to such an effect that the telescopic rail has a first group of rolling bodies and the rolling bodies of the first group are made of graphite, wherein the telescopic rail has a second group of rolling bodies and the rolling bodies of the second group are made of a material which is of greater hardness than the graphite of the rolling bodies of the first group, and wherein at least two rolling bodies of the second group are respectively received in the through openings of at least two receiving limbs.

A retracting rack for an appliance such as a dish washing appliance. The rack may be positionable between a stowed position and a deployed position. A spring may drive the rack towards the stowed position. A locking mechanism may be used to secure the rack in one or more positions. A release mechanism and/or a reset mechanism may be used to control the retracting cycle of the rack.

A household appliance has a main body, a chamber with an opening, and a drawer door closing the chamber. A support mechanism is connected between the drawer door and the main body. A cable extends between the main body and the drawer door and a guidance mechanism guides the cable and moves with the drawer door. The guidance mechanism includes a bendable member that moves along a moving path including a bent portion. A limiting mechanism limits the bendable member to move within the moving path and a preset error range. A structure of a component surrounding the guidance mechanism in the household appliance is improved, so that a moving track of the guidance mechanism can be guided and limited when the guidance mechanism moves as the drawer door moves. This helps the guidance mechanism and the cable move through an expected track.

A laundry system having a first laundry appliance for washing fabric items, a second laundry appliance for drying fabric items horizontally arranged relative to the first laundry appliance, a washing module vertically arranged above one of the first laundry appliance or the second laundry appliance, and a non-tumble drying module vertically arranged above the other of the first laundry appliance or the second laundry appliance for drying fabric items.

A drawer assembly for an appliance includes a front drawer guide fixed to a frame of the appliance including a front slide, the front slide defining a first sliding surface and a first receiving channel, a drawer body in slidable contact with the front drawer guide, and a rear drawer guide coupled to the drawer body, the rear drawer guide including a hook and a rear slide provided over the hook along the vertical direction, the rear slide defining a second sliding surface and a second receiving channel.

A laundry washing machine (1) connectable to a water mains (E, E′) has a cabinet (2) supporting a washing tub (3) external to a rotatable washing drum (4) suited to receive laundry and a treating agents dispenser (20) connectable to the water mains (E, E′) by means of at least one supply valve (40a, 40b, 40c, 40d, 40e). The treating agents dispenser (20) has a drawer (22) and a supporting structure (21) on which the drawer (22) can slide along a sliding axis (S). A water distributor (35) includes at least one inlet connector (36a, 36b, 36c, 36d, 36e) adapted to connect the at least one supply valve (40a, 40b, 40c, 40d, 40e) to at least one water conveying line (120a, 120b, 120c, 120d, 120e) for conveying water to a reservoir (23a, 23b, 23c, 23d) or to the washing tub (3). The at least one inlet connector (36a, 36b, 36c, 36d, 36e) extends along a main axis (X) which is inclined with respect to the sliding axis (S).

A laundry pedestal for supporting a laundry treating appliance includes a cabinet having a top wall, opposing side walls, and a base, and a drawer configured to be moved between a retracted position and an extended position relative to the cabinet. The drawer includes a first compartment having a first cover and a second compartment, adjacent to the first compartment, and having a second cover. A height of the second compartment is greater than a height of the first compartment.

An apparatus for cleaning, storing or cooking items includes a housing formed by walls enclosing an internal space; at least one support arrangement removable from the housing; and at least one locking unit arranged at the support arrangement. The support arrangement includes at least one rail system having at least two rails connected together and moveable relative to each other and at least one support element. The locking unit includes at least one locking element which can be transferred between a blocking position and a free position, wherein, when the support arrangement is mounted to the housing, the locking unit is in its free state in which the locking element enables extension of the rail system. When the support arrangement is separated from the housing, the locking unit is in its blocking state in which the locking element blocks extension of the rail system with the formation of a positively locking relationship.

A laundry treatment apparatus that includes: a cabinet; a first cabinet door; a second cabinet door; a first washing apparatus; and a second washing apparatus including: a tub that is accessible through a second opening in a state in which the second cabinet door is opened, that is configured to store water, and that includes a tub opening at a top of the tub, a tub cover that is coupled to the tub and that covers the tub opening, and a drum that is configured to rotate about a shaft, the shaft extending in the second direction, wherein the tub cover includes an air channel unit that is configured to transfer air between an interior area of the tub and an exterior area of the tub in a state in which the second washing apparatus is operational is disclosed.

In a refrigerator including a sliding door configured to open and close a storage chamber, a storage basket provided on a rear portion of the sliding door, and a support frame configured to support the sliding door and the storage basket, sidewalls of the storage basket may be formed so as to protrude outwardly except a lower portion in which the support frame is disposed between an inner case and the sidewalls, thereby increasing a storage space of the storage basket. In addition, a front protrusion, an auxiliary protrusion, and a rear protrusion are formed in an upper portion of the storage basket, and therefore a relative position of an auxiliary basket to the storage basket may be limited, and the auxiliary basket may be drawn into and out in conjunction with drawn-in and -out movements of the storage basket.
