Laundry washing machine including a detergent drawer with a push member

A laundry washing machine comprising an outer casing, a washing tub which is arranged inside the casing with its opening or mouth directly facing a laundry loading/unloading opening formed on a front wall of the casing, a detergent dispensing assembly which is structured for supplying detergent into the washing tub, a fresh-water supply circuit which is structured for being connected to a water mains and for selectively channelling a flow of fresh water from the water mains to the detergent dispensing assembly and/or to the washing tub, and an appliance control panel which is structured for allowing a user to manually select a desired washing-cycle and is located on the front wall of the casing;

• the appliance control panel being located/arranged on a front side of a drawer-like supporting structure which is fitted/inserted in an extractable manner into a corresponding drawer housing which extends inside the casing underneath an upper worktop or a top wall of the casing, and communicates with the outside via a front entrance which is formed on the front wall of the casing above the laundry loading/unloading opening;
• the drawer-like supporting structure being movable inside the drawer housing between a retracted position in which the drawer-like supporting structure is completely recessed inside the casing and the appliance control panel is arranged substantially coplanar to the front wall the casing, and a completely extracted position in which the drawer-like supporting structure partly juts out from the front wall of the casing such that the appliance control panel is spaced apart from the front wall of the casing;
• the laundry washing machine further comprising:
• a push member which is able to elastically push the drawer-like supporting structure away from the retracted position and towards the extracted position;
• a locking mechanism which is structured to hold the drawer-like supporting structure in the retracted position and to prevent the push member from pushing the drawer-like supporting structure away from the retracted position;
• and a manually-operated command device which is structured so as to force, when manually operated, the locking mechanism to release the drawer-like supporting structure, thus allowing the push member to push the drawer-like supporting structure away from the retracted position.
