A displacement sensor modulefor mounting on a telescopic-type damper, a damper/detector assembly including such a displacement sensor module and a telescopic-type damper, and a household appliance including such a damper/detector assembly is provided. The displacement sensor moduleincludes at least one coil element, an electronic detection unitconnected to the at least one coil elementand adapted to detect an impedance change of the at least one coil element, and a coil housingfor receiving and additionally or alternatively a coil supportfor supporting the at least one coil elementand for supporting the electronic detection unit. The displacement sensor moduleis adapted to be mounted on a telescopic-type damper, wherein in particular the housingor supportis adapted to fit over a portion of a pre-assembled damper

Damper with displacement sensor for laundry appliance

The invention is related to a washing machine () comprising: a washing tub () comprising a rotatable drum () adapted for receiving the laundry () to be washed; a logic unit () adapted to control the electric and/or electronic components of the washing machine () so as to make the latter to perform a washing cycle comprising one or more phases; a user interface () adapted for setting a washing program to which corresponds a washing cycle to be performed, and for presenting user information; a weighing device adapted to detect the weight of the laundry () loaded into the rotatable drum (). The logic unit () is configured for displaying via the user interface (), during the loading of the laundry () into the rotatable drum (), information related to the duration and/or the number of repetition of one or more phases of the washing cycle corresponding to a set washing program and adapted to the weight of the loaded laundry () detected by the weighing device.

Washing machine

A laundry machine () is proposed. The laundry machine includes a drum () for housing the laundry to be treated, an encasing portion () for encasing the drum (), and a lighting apparatus () for illuminating the inside of the drum (). The lighting apparatus () includes one or more lighting devices () associated to the drum (), and a power feeding assembly for power supplying said one or more lighting device (). In the solution according to one or more embodiments of the present invention, the power feeding assembly includes an electro-magnetic apparatus () arranged for power supplying, at least partially contactless, said one or more lighting devices ().

Laundry machine with lighting apparatus for drum lighting

A laundry machine, in particular dryer, wash dryer or washing machine, includes: a body having a laundry loading opening; a drum, rotatably supported in the body; and a drum illumination device () for illuminating the interior of the drum. The drum illumination device () comprises a printed circuit board (PCB;) and at least one semiconductor or plasma light emitting element () arranged on the PCB (), in particular at least one light emitting diode (LED).
