Definitions
- the invention relates to a container-distributor for liquid detergents in a washing machine, particularly a laundry washer, adapted to contain determined amounts of liquid detergents to be supplied to the tub of the machine for the execution of the laundry washing cycles, and to a receptacle for collecting the rinsin liquid for use in the preliminary and main laundering phases of the following cycle.
- Conventional laundry washers are designed for the supply of granular and/or liquid detergents to the laundering tub by means of a traditional detergent distributor connected to the tub and subdivided into a number of separate compartments for containing different detergents.
- the various compartments of the detergent distributor are initially filled with metered amounts of the different granular and/or liquid detergents, and the detergents are then supplied to the tub by selectively directing the water for the various laundering phases through respective ones of the compartments.
- laundry washers designed for storing greater amounts of detergents, particularly liquid ones, these machines being equipped with a number of rigid containers of increased capacity for containing liquid detergents or component products of detergents, the containers being connected to the tub by way of respective conduits provided with metering pumps for supplying the detergents or component products to the tub.
- These laundry washers are additionally provided with conventional control components acting on the metering pumps so as to ensure the supply of proper amounts of the liquid detergents or component products to the tub, in accordance with the amount of water supplied there to in the course of the laundering cycle.
- the containers for liquid products are thus in fact disposed outside of the machine itself, and preferably accommodated in a suitable casing placed on one side of the machine and usually having the same height and depth as the latter, so as to at least partially comply with the existing dimensional standards.
- the operating cycle of known laundry washers usually includes the following phases in succession: an (optional) preliminary laundering phase, a main laundering phase, and at least two rinsing phases with the optional addition of softening agents, perfumes and the like.
- Each of these phases requires a charge of water to be supplied to the tub and to be discharged therefrom at the end of the respective phase.
- the containers 4 for products to be used in the course of the laundering cycle, and the collecting receptacle 9 are of box-shaped configuration similar to one another and disposed closely to one another along the upper rear rim of the machine within the housing.
- receptacle 9 is shown to be positioned at one end of the row of containers 4. It is of course also possible to provide a construction in which containers 4 are disposed in the space available adjacent the rear upper rim of the machine, and the collector receptacle is disposed below the containers and attached to a lower part of the rear wall, in which case it may extend over the full width of the housing.
- FIG. 4 A modification of the described embodiment is shown in figs. 4 and 5.
- the filler spouts 7 project vertically at the top of containers 4 and are protected from above by a cover flap 8 hinged to the worktable top and adapted to be swung upwards for giving access to spouts 7.
- teachings of the present invention are readily applicable by manufacturers having at theor disposal housings of "standard” dimensions and laundering assemblies of reduced capacity, i.e. of the "short” type, by simply mounting the latter in the standard housings to thereby obtain between the tub and the rear wall an empty space substantially of the width and height of the housing, and thus of a considerable volume, which may be fully used for the accommodation of the liquid containers 4 and the collector receptacle 9 described above.
- the invention is applicable with particular advantage to machines the housing of which is composed of separate parts which are joined only on final assembly of the machine, as described for instance in Italian Patent No. 34036/B/86.
- This patent teaches the production of housings by joining two upstanding half-shells of extended U-shape in horizontal section.
- This construction lends itself with particular advantage to the application of the present invention by permitting containers 4 and receptacle 9 to be placed in a simple manner in the space enclosed by the rear wall and the sidewalls of the rear half-shell, and the resulting subassembly to be joined in a likewise simple manner to the second subassembly composed of the housing bottom 5, the laundering assembly 2 and the front half-shell to thereby finish the assembly operation on the machine substantially without altering the sequence of the assembly steps and details of the overall construction.
