bebezár

Bebezár is a Hungarian term that translates to "baby lock" or "child lock" in English. It refers to a safety feature designed to prevent young children from accidentally opening or operating certain appliances or devices. These locks are commonly found on household items such as washing machines, dryers, ovens, windows, and cabinets.

The purpose of a bebezár is to mitigate the risk of injuries that children might sustain if they gain access to potentially dangerous functions. For instance, a washing machine bebezár prevents a child from opening the door mid-cycle, which could lead to flooding or injury. Similarly, oven bebezár systems can prevent accidental activation or burns.

Bebezár mechanisms vary in design. Some are physical latches or clips that require adult intervention to disengage. Others are electronic, activated through a specific button combination on the appliance's control panel. Many modern appliances feature a dedicated bebezár button, often indicated by an icon of a child or a padlock. Activating the bebezár typically disables most of the appliance's controls, except for the power button or a specific unlock sequence. The duration of activation can also vary, with some systems requiring re-activation after each use, while others remain engaged until manually disarmed. Understanding and utilizing the bebezár function is a common practice for parents and caregivers in Hungary and other regions where similar safety features are implemented.
