Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of machine washing with the aid of washing powders. Its object is a distributor device serving various functions and offering numerous advantages over the prior art.
  • the machine washing of linen with washing powders is a technique very widely practised throughout the world.
  • the washing powder is most usually packed in containers of various sizes, from which the user takes powder up to the recommended dose and transfers it to a compartment provided for this purpose in the machine.
  • the total amount of powder required for washing is placed in position at the start, and the powder is then entrained by circulating water.
  • the invention seeks to overcome the disadvantages mentioned above by providing a device capable of simplifying the extraction of washing powder from the packet, and at the same time effecting progressive, metered distribution of the wasshing powder during the washing cycle.
  • FR-A-2.563.250 relates to a process for the machine washing of linen with a liquid detergent, making use of the device which is first filled with detergent and then placed in the drum of the machine together with the linen which is to be washed.
  • FR-A-2.570.720 relates to a device of the kind just referred to, which has a substantially spherical shape. A certain number of apertures permit the filling or metering and/or the diffusion of the liquid.
  • the patent US 3.400.808 describes a container designed for holding a bleaching agent in powder form, which differs from a washing agent and is intended for supplying oxygen in the course of the washing cycle after the cycle has started.
  • This known device is made of two parts, which must be detached from one another in order to fill the container ; a device of this kind is not very suitable for the extraction of the powder, which is introduced in conventional manner.
  • the US patent 3,400,808 does not teach a container for a washing powder, in which a movable part is fixed to the body of the device for enabling both the extraction of the washing powder and its progressive and measured distribution.
  • the invention has as its object a device as claimed in claim 1.
  • the device For the purpose of use, the device is first put in the open position for direct extraction of washing powder from the packet. After being filled with powder to the desired level, the device is restored to its position of use, that is to say the closed position, in which it can be locked . The device is then introduced into the drum of the washing machine, in the middle of the linen. A suitable number of suitably sized holes permit the progressive diffusion of the product as the washing machine drum rotates during the washing cycle . On completion of the operation, the device is recovered, completely empty of powder, from the machine, and is thus ready for further use.
  • the distribution apertures are provided in the body of the device, or in the movable part of the latter.
  • the operation of extraction from the packet which is accomplished by the device of the present invention, did not exist for distributors of washing liquids.
  • the specialist knows that in the case of a washing powder it is necessary to use unitary doses corresponding to the properties of the powders, the load of linen, and the type of machine. A volume of an average of 250 to 600 cubic centimetres is frequently used.
  • the invention provides devices capable of containing a volume of powder of this kind, while still being able to be easily handled, for example for insertion into packets of the smallest dimensions existing on the market.
  • the device according to the invention comprises a body having the general shape of a shovel or scoop with a movable lid which, in the open position of the device, serves as a handle for the extraction of powder and, in the closed position, can be detachably locked on the body.
  • the lid is mounted slidably on the top part of the body, thus making it possible to level off the powder and thus permit accurate measurement.
  • the interior of the body may be provided with grooves enabling the lid to slide to different levels in order to introduce variable amounts of powder into the interior of the body. These grooves may be so directed that the lid occupies a horizontal or oblique position relative to the bottom of the body when the latter is laid flat.
  • the movable lid should be provided with perforations intended to effect the diffusion of the product during the washing.
  • the movable lid is advantageously provided with lateral notches in which the user can place his fingers when extracting powder from the packet.
  • the lid In the closed position of the device the lid can be fastened on the body by any means known to those versed in the art, for example by clipping and/or by matching shapes - which is easy to achieve because the devices in question are made of plastics material.
  • the selection of the material will ensure that the latter is compatible with repeated use in a washing machine, while avoiding any noise of impact with the drum of the machine.
  • one of the side walls of the body is provided at the top with notches cooperating with tongues moulded on the lid, and the lid has at one end a stop which in the closed position is applied against said wall.
  • the distributor device comprises a body of generally spherical shape, provided with an opening, and a lid which forms an additional thickness and which in the open position leaves the opening free, while in the closed position it covers the opening after the style of a dome.
  • the lid is advantageous for the lid to be provided with perforations in order to effect the diffusion of the product during the washing.
  • the lid is rotatable about two studs or nipples disposed opposite one another on the outside of the spherical body. It is also advantageous for the end edge of the lid to cooperate in the closed position with a stop provided on the spherical body. The lid is thus locked in the closed position when the device is inserted into the drum of the washing machine.
  • grooved portions may be provided on the outside of the spherical body, in the parts where the user's fingers will be placed; this will be useful in particular for the extraction of powder.
  • the device according to the invention comprises a body of generally cylindrical shape, with an opening in one side wall and a pivoting drawer or scoop comprising a cylindrical wall bounded by two plane walls facing one another, each of the two plane walls being mounted pivotally on an edge of the opening in the body; when the drawer is pivoted in the outward direction (open position), it serves to extract powder, and when it is swung inwards (closed position) it acts as a distributor.
  • the device according to the invention comprises a body of generally cylindrical shape which has an opening near one end wall, and a swing lid in the form of a shovel or scoop, mounted pivotally on the body; when this lid is swung outwards, it enables powder to be extracted and when it is closed down onto the body it covers at least part of said opening.
  • the shape of the lid is complementary to that of the opening in the body, so that the latter will be at least partly closed when the lid is swung inwards.
  • perforations on the body effect the diffusion of the product during the washing.
  • a gap may be formed between the body and the lid when the latter is in the closed position, this gap also allowing the passage of the powder product.
  • the embodiments described above are of a construction such that in the closed position of the device the movable part is detachably fastened to the body of the latter.
  • Widely varying means may be used for this purpose, through the action of matching shapes or the provision of cooperating surfaces on the movable part and the body respectively, for example cutouts, studs, nipples and other clip means ensuring stability in the closed position but able to be manipulated by force in such a manner that the movable part can be removed.
  • These means are easy to produce by moulding plastics material.
  • the body of the device may in addition be provided with a flat ensuring its stability when it is laid down, particularly after being filled with washing powder.
  • the embodiments described above have produced good results in practice in the machine washing of linen. It is however possible to use variants which are not beyond the general scope of the invention as previously defined.
  • the structure of the movable part must be adapted to the shape of the body of the distributor device.
  • the method of fastening the movable part on the body may have numerous and diverse forms. This is facilitated by the fact that the device is made of plastics material.
  • the movable part can therefore be displaced relative to the body by various movements, such as translation and/or rotation.
  • an embodiment, which is not shown in the drawings could comprise the fastening of the movable part by screwing or clipping on the body.
  • Such variants are within the capacity of those versed in the art. It is obvious that the definitive choice of a distributor will take into account its external shapes with a view to avoiding any damage to the linen loads.
  • the device according to the invention combines the functions of extraction and distribution.
  • extraction from the packet, measurement and loading in the washing machine can be effected in a single operation with this device. It is no longer necessary, as it is at present, to extract powder several times with a beaker until the recommended dose is obtained, and then also to transfer this dose to a compartment (or drawer) in the washing machine.
  • the device shown in Figures 1 to 4 is given the general reference numeral 1. It is composed of a body 2 having the general shape of a shovel or scoop, and of a lid 3 which is movable by sliding. The lid 3 is provided with perforations 4 permitting the diffusion of the powder in the course of the washing cycle.
  • Figure 1 shows the device in the closed position, in which the lid 3 is fully inserted by sliding, so as to cover the open top 6 of the body 2.
  • Figure 2 shows the body 2 and the lid 3 separately in order to illustrate their assembly.
  • small bars or studs 10 are formed at the top of the body 2.
  • Small bars 11, 12 are provided on each internal side face of the body 2 and, in conjunction with the top bars 10, define a passage 15 serving as a groove.
  • the lid 3 can be engaged by sliding in said grooves 15 in order to be placed in position on the body 2.
  • the pair of small bars 12 are provided with inclined surfaces 13, the purpose of which will be explained later on with reference to Figure 3.
  • the face 14 of the body 2 is provided at the top with notches 9.
  • the lid 3 On its face turned towards the interior of the body 2 the lid 3, as shown in Figure 2, is provided with three integrally moulded tongues 7 which, on the sliding of the lid 3 in the grooves 15 engage in the notches 9 provided on the top of the face 14 of the body 2.
  • the lid 3 is also proided with a small plate-like portion 8 which serves as a stop, being applied against the face 14 of the body 2, when the lid is placed in position on the body.
  • the lid is advantageously also provided with notches 5 permitting easy manipulation, particularly during filling with washing powder.
  • Figure 3 illustrates the device of Figure 1 when it is in the open position, that is to say ready for extracting powder.
  • Figure 4 illustrates the utilization of the devvice shown in Figure 3 as an extraction means.
  • the lid 3 is partially engaged inside the body 2 by passing it along the inclined portions 13 of the bars 12.
  • the lid 3 remains held in this position because the tongues 7 are in addition inserted into the corresponding notches 9 in the body 2.
  • the lid 3 serves as a handle, the user's fingers being applied at the notches 5, so that manipulation is facilitated.
  • Figure 4 shows a packet 16 containing a washing powder 17. This figure shows clearly how the device shown in Figure 3 is used for extracting powder.
  • the device is closed by sliding the combined lid and handle 3 to the position shown in Figure 1. It will be noted that the closing of the device by means of the sliding lid 3 will level off the powder and consequently provide an accurate dose of powder.
  • the device containing the powder For the purpose of washing, the device containing the powder is placed in the drum of the washing machine together with the linen, before the commencement of the washing cycle.
  • the washing powder 17 contained in the device 1 gradually diffuses into the linen through the perforations 4, and also through those parts of the notches 5 which allow the powder to pass through freely in order to be dissolved in the washing water.
  • the number and the size of the perforations 4 and notches 5 must be adapted to the washing conditions, namely the nature of the washing powder, the soil in the linen, and other parameters which have to be taken into account in the washing.
  • the device described above with reference to Figures 1 to 4 is very suitable for use with washing powders, becaue it serves not only for extracting powder from the packet but also for the progressive distribution of the powder by dissolution in the washing water during the washing cycle.
  • the device is designed to hold volumes of powder varying between 450 and 600 cubic centimetres approximately.
  • the device 31 shown in Figures 5 and 6 comprises a body 32 of generally cylindrical shape, with an opening 36 in one side wall of the body.
  • the movable part is a swing scoop or drawer consisting of a cylindrical wall 33 bounded by two plane walls 35, 37 disposed opposite one another. Each of these plane walls is mounted pivotally on an edge of the opening 36, as shown as 38.
  • the device 31 When the drawn is swung outwards, as shown in Figure 6, the device 31 is used for the extraction of powder. When it is swung inwards it closes the opening 36, the shape of the wall 33 being such as to achieve continuity of the cylinrical wall of the body 32.
  • a nipple 40 is provided on each of the walls 35 to cooperate with a cutout 40a on the edges of the opening 36.
  • the device 31 is used for the distribution of powder.
  • the device 31 has perforations 34 which, in this particular case, are provided in the body 32.
  • the device 31 has a part 39 enabling it to stand in a stable position.
  • the device 41 shown in Figures 7 and 8 likewise has a body 42 of generally cylindrical shape.
  • the opening is provided near one end wall, as shown at 46 in Figure 8, instead of in a side wall of the cylinder.
  • a lid 43 in the form of a shovel or scoop comprises two walls 45, 47 disposed opposite one another and surrounding a part 43.
  • the open scoop 43 is bounded by edges 48, 49 which are applied against the edges of two walls 52 bounding the opening 46 of the body 42.
  • the scoop 43 is mounted on the body 42 by two pivots 50 (only one being visible in Figures 7 and 8).
  • the device 41 In the position shown in Figure 8, the device 41 is used for extracting powder, with the scoop 43 pivoted outwards. In the position shown in Figure 7 the device 41 is in the closed position.
  • nipple 53 is provided on each of the walls 45, 47 to cooperate with a corresponding cutout 54 in the walls 52.
  • the scoop 43 may partly cover the opening 46 and thus allow the powder to diffuse not only through the openings 44 but also through the gaps 51 left free at the end of the body 42.
