The invention relates to one in a dishwasher attachable container for introducing solid, powdery or liquid detergent as an additive to the washing liquid, the When a certain temperature is reached, the container is emptied by means of bimetal strips.

There are known containers for hanging in dishwashers, which are used to supply detergent additive serve and the bottom has an opening which, depending on a bimetal element is released when a certain temperature is reached. Such containers come with a Bottom closure known, which is designed like a membrane. The membrane itself is a bimetallic element educated. When the membrane passes from one position to the other, it must be strong internal forces are overcome, so that a precise response of the membrane when reaching a certain temperature is not given. Another known design has a bottom closure on, which is operated by an intermediate lever. The intermediate lever is from a single controlled relatively short bimetal strips. Here, too, there is a response of the locking mechanism at a precisely set temperature and a sudden emptying of the entire container not given when this temperature limit is reached.

The object of the invention is to provide a structure that is very simple in structure and yet precisely temperature-dependent working container to create its contents when reaching a very specific Temperature emptied suddenly.

Such a sudden addition of detergent to the washing water of the dishwasher is necessary, to ensure that the detergent is fully effective at a certain point in the wash program sequence bring to. A very simple, robust construction of the container is desirable in order to prevent contamination reduce it if possible and allow it to be kept clean easily.

This object is achieved according to the invention in that two band-shaped, with their broad sides contiguous, at one end interconnected bimetal strips are provided, the free Ends move away from each other when heated and at the free end of a bimetal strip the container is arranged while the free end of the other bimetal strip is together with corresponding container parts forms the lock, such that the lock above a certain temperature opens.

The inventive arrangement of the two with?

interconnected bimetal strips result in a long work path between the free ends of this two strips, so that the lock can be made with very rough tolerances without the proper Endangering the function of the facility. In addition, the container according to the invention has a very clear one Clear structure that is very convenient to use and easy to clean.

The device according to the invention can be designed as an independent component which is outside the dishwasher is filled with the detergent additive and then placed anywhere inside the dishwasher is attached to come into operation at the appropriate time.

The device can also be easily accessible on an open flap of the dishwasher Place of the machine interior fixed or, if necessary, be arranged pivotably.

The invention is described below with reference to the exemplary embodiments shown in the drawing described in more detail.

F i g. 1 of the drawing shows a device according to the invention in which the container for receiving the Detergent additive is provided with a lid;

F i g. 2 and 3 show another embodiment, in which the container around a horizontal Axis is pivotably arranged.

709 578/61

Specifically, in FIG. 1 shows a device that has a container 1 for receiving the detergent additive having. The container 1 can be closed by a cover 2 and is attached to a carrier 3 attached. The carrier 3 is designed as a bimetal strip. This carrier 3 is provided with a second bimetal strip 4 connected by a screw S. The opening 6 of the bimetal strip 4 overlaps a projection 7 of the lid 2 and holds it in the closed position at normal temperature.

When using the device shown, this is with the opening of the container 1 upwards directed and filled with detergent additive, whereupon the lid 2 closed and through the bimetal strip 4 is locked. Then the device with the help of the fastening hook 8 inside the dishwasher, z. B. on the crockery basket, so that the lid 2 of the container 1 is below. When the hot washing process starts inside the dishwasher, the bimetallic strip 4 moves into the one shown in dashed lines Position, whereby the projection 7 of the cover 2 slides out of the opening 6 of the bimetallic strip 4 and thereby the lid is released, so that the contents of the container 1 that in the machine is supplied with detergent.

The carrier 3 is, as already mentioned, also designed as a bimetal strip, such that it is at Heating in the opposite direction to the bimetallic strip 4 bends, thereby increasing engagement sweg is reached.

The in the F i g. 2 and 3 illustrated embodiment has a container 9 which is attached to a Bimetallic strip formed carrier 10 is pivotably mounted about an axis 11. The carrier 10 is connected at 12 to a second bimetal strip 13, the upper end of which is behind an approach 14 of the container 9 engages. When the device is heated, the bimetal strip 13 takes the in F i g. 3 a position shown in dashed lines so that it releases the projection 14 of the container 9. The container 9 then tilts into the one shown in FIG. 2 position shown in dashed lines, so that its content is down can drain. This embodiment of the invention is preferably inside the dishwasher Fixed in an easily accessible place and is particularly suitable for supplying liquids Detergent additives.

Claims (1)

Claim: Container that can be placed in a dishwasher for introducing solid, powdery material or liquid detergent as an additive to the rinsing liquid, emptying the container when a certain temperature is reached by means of bimetal strips, characterized in that that two band-shaped bimetallic strips that lie against one another with their broad sides and are connected to one another at one end (3, 4 and 10, 13) are provided, the free ends of which move away from each other when heated and at the free end of one bimetal strip (3 or 10) the container (1 or 9) is arranged, while the free end of the other bimetal strip (4 or 13) together with the means (7,14) forms the lock, such that the lock above a certain Temperature opens.
