Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of machine washing machine and relates to a device designed for implementing a method of washing and cleaning machine laundry, with a liquid detergent of the type described in FR- A-2 563 250 filed on April 18, 1984 for "Washing machine in a machine with liquid detergent and device for its application” in the name of the applicant.
  • the invention thus relates to a device, generally rechargeable, which is first of all filled with liquid detergent, then placed in the drum of the machine with the laundry to be washed. The detergent contained in the device gradually diffuses into the washing medium and into the laundry in the machine.
  • the device comprises a filling orifice and vents for the gradual release of the liquid within the laundry during washing.
  • US-A-3,399,806 describes a diffuser device designed to be placed in a washing machine and to contain a washing liquid additive, to be diffused after the start of the washing cycle.
  • a spherical device comprising an orifice, which, after filling with the liquid, is closed by a water-soluble seal and by removable mechanical means preventing the liquid from coming into contact with the seal during storage. During use, these means are eliminated and the seal dissolves by releasing the liquid additive in a delayed manner.
  • the present invention relates to an improved device belonging to the general type which has just been described.
  • the invention therefore relates to a device according to claim 1.
  • the invention also relates to the features of claims 2 to 5, considered in isolation or in all their technically possible combinations.
  • An essential characteristic of the present invention resides in the general spherical shape of the device. It therefore looks like a ball. Such a ball is extremely easy to handle and introduce into the drum of the washing machine. After introducing the laundry into it, simply place the ball on the laundry. During operation, the liquid detergent contained in the ball spreads gradually and regularly in the washing medium. At the end of the washing cycle, the ball is perfectly clean and free of both water and liquid detergent. There is indeed no retention of liquid. Without wishing to be bound by any theory, it is believed that this advantageous effect is due to the fact that during the rotation of the drum, the centrifugal force which is exerted on the moving ball, has the effect of evacuating any liquid. possibly contained in it.
  • FIG. 3 which is a section similar to FIG. 2 comprises a body 31 and an attached assembly 32.
  • the latter is permanently fixed to the body 31.
  • the embodiment of FIG. 3 is very similar to that of FIG. 2, except as regards the structure of the assembly 32.
  • the latter has a central opening 34 in the form of a chimney plunging inside the body 31 and ending in an end wall 35.
  • the assembly 32 has orifices 36 which, in the example shown, or three in number. and which are provided in the walls of the chimney 34 which end at the end wall 35.
  • the orifices 36 serve to fill the liquid detergent.
  • the assembly 32 comprises, like the assembly 22 of FIG. 2, a number of vents 37 allowing the gradual release of the liquid detergent during washing.
  • the flat 33 of the body 31, as well as the recesses 38 and 39 although the presence of such recesses is absolutely not necessary.
  • FIG. 4 Another alternative embodiment is shown in FIG. 4, the corresponding cover assembly of which is shown in FIG. 5.
  • the device of FIG. 4, which is designated by the general reference 50, comprises a body 51 and a cover assembly 52 to constitute a device of generally spherical shape.
  • the body 51 has a flat surface 58 concentrically surrounding the opening 54.
  • the cover assembly 52 is permanently fixed to the body 51.
  • This cover assembly is shown in more detail in FIG. . 5. where we see that it comprises as in the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 3, a central opening 54 in the form of a chimney plunging inside the body 51. This chimney ends in an end wall 55.
  • the lateral surface of the chimney 54 has orifices 56 intended to allow filling with the detergent liquid.
  • the cover assembly 52 comprises a number of vents 57 regularly arranged on the part opposite to the wall 55.
  • the cover assembly 52 comprises recesses 59 making it possible to facilitate gripping of the whole device, which can thus be easily manipulated.
  • the use of the device is as follows.
  • the body is first filled with liquid detergent to the desired level.
  • the laundry was placed in the drum of the washing machine.
  • the ball, filled with liquid detergent, is then introduced into or onto the laundry in the drum. Once the machine is started, the liquid contained in the ball diffuses regularly and gradually through the vents. This ensures highly satisfactory washing and cleaning of the laundry.
  • the ball may be available for use after having been pre-filled with liquid detergent.
  • This form of presentation can in particular constitute a test dose.
  • This closure system can consist of a sealing with a peelable film, or by means of rapid tearing which uncover the vents.
  • One possible embodiment then consists in providing kinds of nipples engaged respectively in the vents and which can be removed at the same time or separately, with one or more tear-off tabs.
