Abstract
A door locking device includes a supporting frame, a latch rotationally carried about a first axis by the supporting frame, a receiver for a locking tooth of the latch and first elastic element for rotating the latch between a first steady position in which, in use, with the door being closed, the tooth of the latch engages the receiver, and a second steady position, in which the tooth does not engage the receiver. The supporting frame is shaped to be fixed, in use, to one side of an access opening of the electric household appliance, integral with a casing of the latter; and the receiver has at least one seat carried, in use, by an edge of the door facing, in use, the side of the access opening provided with the supporting frame; moreover, the first axis is transversally movable with respect to itself, relatively to the supporting frame.
