Abstract
A door for a washing machine or a dryer includes a frame having a system for opening/closing an opening provided for introducing laundry into a washing machine or a dryer, and a hinge assembly. The hinge assembly includes a bracket attached to an inside surface of a housing of the washing machine or the dryer, and a hinge arm. The hinge arm has a first member rotatably connected to the bracket, and a second member extended in succession to the first member and rotatably connected to the frame for being drawn to an outside of the washing machine and the dryer, thereby enabling the door to be rotated relative to the bracket and the hinge arm respectively, so as to be opened at a great angle.
