Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method of washing and cleaning laundry in a washing machine, in which a liquid detergent is gradually introduced into the washing medium from a rechargeable device placed in the drum of the machine with the washing machine: the invention also relates to the device for implementing this process.
  • Liquid detergent compositions for washing clothes are on the market. They have various advantageous properties compared to the numerous granular detergent compositions, but their use has not spread as far as one might have thought given their qualities, due to a certain unsuitability for use in the most of the washing machines currently on the market.
  • the dispensers for the dose of detergent agent used in each washing cycle are, in general, ill-suited to the collection of agents liquids and their subsequent dispersion in the washing bath; most of the machines currently used by housewives were in fact designed when there were only powder or granular detergents on the market.
  • the Applicant has found that, frequently, part of the liquid detergent composition put in the machine's dispenser, before starting it up, is unusable for washing.
  • the detergent is completely entrained with the first ml of water introduced into the machine, and these, in most cases, will go directly to fill the drain circuits of the machine in which the operation of previous wash had left very little water.
  • the detergent When the detergent has entered this circuit, it will practically no longer migrate towards the washing bath impregnating the laundry, whether during the filling of the machine, or during the actual washing, and it will be eliminated with the first drain.
  • the losses that is to say the unused detergent, can be significant, particularly in certain types of washing machines where a significant proportion of the liquid composition put in the dispenser intended for a solid detergent, will not be not used.
  • the level of loss depends in particular on the volume of the drainage circuit before the pump, the speed of arrival of the water, the position of the water entry point.
  • the present invention which eliminates these unavoidable losses, is particularly useful.
  • It relates to an improved process for washing and cleaning linen in a washing machine. washing of a common type in which a detergent is used in the liquid state, the viscosity of which is such that it can flow freely, even at room temperature. According to this improved process, said agent is gradually released into the washing bath from a device placed in the drum of the machine with the laundry to be washed, instead of being introduced from the distributor provided by the manufacturer of the washing machine to receive the washing product.
  • the method consists in pouring into a suitable device a predetermined quantity - depending in particular on the quantity of the laundry to be washed, the degree of soiling, the capacity of the machine - of a liquid detergent, then placing the device in the drum of the machine with the laundry to be washed, then to start and let run the usual washing cycle of the machine, the device containing the washing product being preferably placed at the top of the tank, in the drum .
  • the drum does not rotate until the filling of the tub is completed, the device will not begin to empty until there is a sufficient amount of water to avoid the prolonged contact of dry or just damp laundry with concentrated detergent.
  • the device at the bottom of the drum, in particular in the case where the latter enters in rotation from the start of the admission of water, or even in the middle of the laundry.
  • the housewife will easily choose the position best suited to the particular circumstances of her washing.
  • the device came out of the washing machine with the clean cloth and set aside for later use.
  • This device which is another object of the invention, comprises at least one filling orifice, of sufficient dimensions so that the introduction of the washing agent is easy whatever the viscosity and the shape of the mouth of the container which contained the agent.
  • This orifice is provided with suitable closing means which may be movable, integral or not with the body of the device, such as plugs, capsules and the like, or permanently, such as chimneys fixed around the neck of the orifice and entering the device whose length and diameter at the internal end are such that a liquid having penetrated into the device practically does not come out of it. It is understood that, in the latter case, the filling orifice can be confused with one of the liquid vents, with which the device must be provided.
  • the number and shape of these liquid vents is not critical; you can have a single vent, two to ten or a multitude of very small vents, up to about 100; devices with two to four vents are preferred, through which the liquid will be gradually released.
  • the diameter of the vents is generally between 2 mm and 10 mm for devices comprising from 2 to 8.
  • vents for the liquid not being generally provided with closing systems must be located above the maximum level of filling of the device; their respective positions can be any, however.
  • the skilled person will be able to to determine, by routine tests, the number of these vents, according to their shape, their position and the viscosity of the liquid washing agent used, so that all of said agent is poured into the washing bath in approximately 1 to 10 minutes, preferably in approximately 3 minutes. It must obviously be taken into account that, for the same device filled with a given washing agent, the emptying time will depend on the diameter of the drum of the machine in which it will be used, its rate of rotation, and even the rate filling the drum with laundry.
  • the device can be made of various materials, which must be unbreakable and resist up to a temperature of approximately 100 ° C.
  • Many synthetic polymers will be suitable, for example low density polyethylene, polypropylene or other elastomers.
  • the walls of the device will be made of a transparent material, or will include a transparent window so that the housewife can see the level reached by the liquid in the device during the operation of filling, to avoid any untimely overflow.
  • the device carries marks, indicating the volume of liquid introduced when the mark is reached; the same device can then be used for washing machines of different capacities, or will make it possible to adapt the quantity of washing agent to the operation to be carried out.
  • the device moreover, has a non-rough exterior surface and does not have sharp angles, to eliminate any risk of wear. premature washing by friction: its walls are relatively rigid, however, so that the handling of the filled device is not made difficult by their deformation resulting from the .. pressure exerted by the fingers which grip it.
  • the device will have a sufficiently wide base so that it is perfectly stable and that an awkward gesture, in particular during its filling with the washing agent, does not cause its overturning.
  • Means for fixing the device to the machine drum such as suction cups or hooks are provided in a variant of the device of the invention. They limit the noise due to the rolling of the device in the drum during the washing cycle and its friction on the laundry during spinning, the device is, in any case, pressed against the walls of the drum with the laundry.
  • the device described above is filled with a liquid detergent of viscosity generally between 0.1 and 0.4 Pas.
  • a liquid detergent of viscosity generally between 0.1 and 0.4 Pas.
  • Liquid detergent compositions used in the washing process of the invention may, in addition, contain optical brighteners, perfumes, dyes, opacifiers, antioxidants, bactericidal fillers and the like.
  • the surfactants present in the compositions used in the process of the invention can be anionic, nonionic, ampholyte or zwitterionic; one can also use their mixtures. Examples of these surfactants are cited in patent application EP-A-0028865; a cationic surfactant can also be added to it, as in this patent application, page 5, line 32 to page 7, line 21.
  • the amount of surfactant present in the liquid compositions is generally between 5% and 70% by weight of the whole, and it is generally a function of the presence or absence of detergency builders; it is lower in the presence of these.
  • the alkaline salts of phosphates and polyphosphates of nitrilotriacetic acid, of citric acid or also of synthetic zeolites mention will be made of the alkaline salts of phosphates and polyphosphates of nitrilotriacetic acid, of citric acid or also of synthetic zeolites.
  • the liquid vehicle of the composition can be water, an organic solvent such as aliphatic mono and polyalcohols having up to 6 carbon atoms and their ethers or their mixtures.
  • the sequestering agents such as polyacrylates, polymaleates and copolymers of unsaturated acids and of methyl vinyl ether, but also the agents for suspending soil , such as polyvinyl pyrrolidone and carboxy- sodium methylcellulose, hydrotropes such as salts of alkyl aryl sulfonic acids and foam regulators such as C 16 -C 221 fatty acids and polysiloxanes. All these compounds can be introduced into liquid washing compositions, which can be used in the process according to the invention, in variable amounts, well known to the specialist.
  • Polydialkylsiloxanes can also be introduced into the liquid washing compositions for their softening properties.
  • the amount of liquid washing agent used in the process according to the invention obviously depends on the composition of the agent, on the nature and condition of the laundry to be washed and on the capacity of the washing machine.
  • the devices according to the invention may contain from 100 to 400 ml of liquid approximately and their total internal volume will be from approximately 150 ml to approximately 500 ml, but it is perfectly possible to design smaller devices for very effective washing agents, or larger devices for washing machines in use in communities.
  • the device of Figure 1 has a maximum diameter of 105 mm and a height of 65 mm without the screw cap.
  • the assembly 1 is made of transparent polyethylene.
  • the walls are 0.6 mm thick.
