Definitions

  • the invention relates to a metering memory for receiving and dispensing a liquid, pasty or tablet-shaped laundry treatment agent, for use in a washing machine Washing process, with a dosing storage pot and a dosing storage lid, the dosing reservoir lid is attached to the dosing reservoir pot and in the dosing reservoir lid or dosing reservoir pot inlet and outlet openings are trained.
  • the dispensing of the laundry treatment agent is, on the one hand, via such metering stores delayed to the wash liquor or the laundry and to others a direct contact between the latter and the concentrate, which is usually supplied as a concentrate Laundry treatment agents largely prevented.
  • the problem is particularly acute when using tablets; so is usually not done using the machine's own dosing chamber possible, because the immediate flushing is not possible due to the size of such tablets and the rinsing process takes too long. Such tablets can not, especially because of the risk of so-called "spotting" be put into the washing drum unreinforced.
  • Various proposals have become known for laundry treatment agents.
  • EP 0 576 234 A1 proposes placing the tablets in a reticulated tube to give.
  • EP 0 628 652 A1 discloses a metering reservoir in the form of a rigid plastic cylinder has been proposed, which has grid-shaped recesses, which enclose the tablet like a cage. The gets through a flap Tablet in a tube made of water-permeable jacket Non-woven material.
  • the above-mentioned metering stores are not suitable for unbound or liquid dosage forms of the laundry treatment agent.
  • a metering memory in this regard results, for example, from JP 50-83075 A (application number Sho-48-13 9044).
  • This designed in the form of a ball Dosing tank is divided into a dosing tank cover at the equator and a dosing storage pot.
  • the dosing reservoir lid has and outlets. Both parts are via a fixed joint tied up. There is a diametrically opposite one on the cover side Clip nose that snaps reversibly into a recess on the pot side.
  • the object of the invention is to fill a generic storage favorably and functionally advantageous, not only all common laundry treatment agents are safe and operationally appropriate, but before especially in the case of bound use forms which develop a higher kinetic energy, such as tablets, the dosage storage in the washing process remains securely closed.
  • connection is designed as a locking device with a Open position of the dosing reservoir lid and one of the closed positions Dosing reservoir cover corresponding latching position.
  • the one thus defined Opening position allows the filling or loading of the inside of the dosing reservoir to be carried out comfortably without interference to; the user does not need - as with known ones Solutions - the dosing reservoir halves under a creeping force or to keep housing parts in a gaped position in order to over the to bring the laundry treatment agent into the gap that is kept open.
  • On the other hand may be caused by the beating of larger tablets Forces unable to reach the locking position causing the closed position to overcome. This is only possible by introducing an additional force.
  • the laundry and touching the washing drum are also unsuitable, to impair the functional reliability of this dosing reservoir, since this is advantageous Training the locking device is formed inside the container. she is itself by its spherical, egg-shaped or barrel-shaped wall protected.
  • the latching device is designed as a one-piece, due to articulation points in a dead center position stable latching position of movable bridge.
  • the restoring force of the dosing storage consisting of hard PVC is usually used sensibly.
  • the dead center position is exceeded in one direction or the other by Users also perceived clearly, so that due to the corresponding Uniqueness of the respective end positions from the safety of use Dosing memory can also be convinced.
  • the web is the dosing reservoir cover or the dosing reservoir pot is molded in one piece and is only bent out and on the dosing reservoir pot or the dosing reservoir lid via one Hinge point is formed. This leads to an inevitable sequence of practical toggle-like locking device.
  • the corresponding latching or snap action of the latching device is increased nor in that the web is one of the articulation point on the metering storage lid or has a second articulation point remote from the dosing reservoir pot.
  • the functional areas are clearly divided, whereby it it is also favorable that the web section between the two articulation points is shorter than the web section between the middle joint and the integral Molding.
  • an advantageous feature of the invention is that the metering storage lid connected to the dosing reservoir pot via a fixed joint is. It can be a film hinge, which is useful diametrically opposite, a gripping point is assigned, for example for easier deliberate opening of the dosing reservoir. To form the A further locking device could also be used for the fixed joint become.
  • the dosing reservoir lid is integrally formed with an adapter ring is and that the locking device between the adapter ring and the Dosing reservoir lid is effective.
  • This variant also has the advantage that for example, different dosing storage pots in terms of volume can start and also with regard to a modification with a view to the Transparency, structure, e.g. perforated or closed, free Keeps hand.
  • the inflow and outflow openings only in the dosing reservoir cover and / or the adapter ring are.
  • the adapter ring and dosing reservoir pot point to their reversible assignment for example, thread on, a bayonet lock or locking nipples.
  • the metering storage cover is at least partially circumferential in its Connection to the adapter ring or the dosing reservoir pot to form Inflow and outflow openings are set back.
  • this dosing store for receiving and dispensing a liquid, pasty or tablet-shaped laundry treatment agents, for Use in a washing process to be carried out with a washing machine, wherein the metering accumulator has inflow and outflow openings and the metering reservoir also has a central opening which is tubular continues into the interior of the metering reservoir, achieved an advantageous embodiment through a guide cylinder which, starting from an essentially flat shoulder, extends into the interior of the dosing reservoir. The user achieves an essentially tilt-free via the guide cylinder Docking. The corresponding effect is still optimized by that the shoulder of one is essentially perpendicular to the shoulder surface extending guide surface is surrounded.
  • the corresponding guide cylinder practically has one kind of hold-down function for the tablets placed in the pot. These can therefore not the inlet and outlet openings located in the metering reservoir cover block. There is a practically solids-free antechamber over the area of the pot. The opening may also be grated to prevent it from being rinsed out to avoid smaller tablet residues.
  • the filler neck has a counter contour matched to the guide surface.
  • the counter contour extends over one step into the jacket wall of a screw cap closing the bottle.
  • the latter maintains due to the associated polydirectionality all of the ceiling-forming parts of the wall sections, a high inner Stability, despite possible thin walls.
  • the inner wall of the dosing reservoir pot and / or the dosing reservoir lid is roughened. On such an inner wall, they can get involved with play Tablets rub, which favors / accelerates the removal optionally leads to more firmly bound tablets.
  • the dosing reservoir D shown comprises a dosing reservoir pot 1 and one Dosing reservoir cover 2.
  • the two parts complement each other accordingly convex curvature and while maintaining a comparable same Wall thickness to a roughly spherical or egg-shaped hollow body.
  • the upper and the lower part of the dosing reservoir D merges into a slight flattening, below, i.e. on the bottom of the pot to achieve the adjustability of the dosing reservoir, For example, for the convenient filling of a laundry treatment liquid from above, So from the edge of the pot or the like.
  • the dosing reservoir D shown also with pasty to even tablet-shaped Means to be filled. Also on a pellet or granular structure is to be thought here.
  • the dosing memory D takes several, relatively large Tablets 3 on. The latter are stacked on top of each other in a disc shape and leave insert into the dosing reservoir D through a side opening 4. The radius the tablets 3 correspond approximately to their height. There are three tablets on top of each other.
  • Said opening 4 is achieved by opening the dosing reservoir cover 2.
  • the dosing reservoir cover 2 connected to the pot rim in this way has a face 6 for diametrically opposite the fixed joint 5 the convenient opening of the dosage storage lid 2.
  • the dosing reservoir D is at least partially perforated. Specifically, it has inlet and outlet openings 7. They are itself in the illustrated embodiment in the dosing reservoir cover 2. It is a relatively uniform perforation is used there. The hole axes run perpendicular to the level pot bottom of the dosing reservoir.
  • the wedge-shaped opening position defining the opening 4 is by webs St limited.
  • the latter are foldable and stretchable again and cross the said Gap. They are attached to the dosing reservoir pot 1 as the dosing reservoir cover 2 realized in addition to 5 connecting material bridges.
  • the fixed joint 5 could also be realized in the form of such a web.
  • connection formed by the webs St is designed as a locking device R, with a both in the open position of the metering reservoir lid shown 2 as well as powerfully effective in a closed position Rest position. Overcoming the two rest positions is only a matter of will possible in the closing direction by pressing down the metering reservoir cover 2 and in the opening direction by reaching under the socket 6 by folding up of the dosing reservoir cover 2, for example (if so designed) around the fixed joint 5 going.
  • the locking device R is housed in the interior of the dosing reservoir D. It is thus mechanically influenced by the container wall itself protected. They are arranged in pairs. Including the Fixed joint point 5, the two webs St are distributed on the pot edge of the metering device D, that between the three material bridges the same free peripheral section remains. Because the fixed joint 5 on the bisector between the two webs St and relatively far from the free end of the cover, the opening 4 is larger than the length of the webs St.
  • the locking effect is due to articulation points a, b and c on the web St.
  • the first-mentioned articulation point a is the articulation of the web St to the rim of the pot of the dosing reservoir D.
  • the second joint point, designated b, is located spaced apart from it.
  • the one between the two mentioned articulation points a, b Web section 8 pivots around the hinge point a on a pot rim circular arc path x passing through joint b. Reference is made to FIG. 8.
  • the articulation point c is realized as a pivot point towards the metering reservoir cover 2. It is practically a continuation of the wall of the dosing reservoir cover 2 in the web St. The corresponding integral connection is in Fig. 8 indicated.
  • the longer web section 9 is directed inward from the substantially vertically aligned inclined leaf spring into the interior of the Dosing reservoir can be bent outwards.
  • This hinge point c is set so that it is much less easy to bend than practically due to material reduction hinges a and b designed to form film hinges at both ends of the shorter web section 8. The material reduction is based on training of notch valleys.
  • the desired locking or snap action is based on this overall constellation the locking device R by the second articulation point b via a dead center position T-T occurs. Due to the changing direction of force, the web St goes into the respective stable rest position above. The restoring force in the direction of arrow y pulls the dosing reservoir lid under the steering action of the web section 8 2 against the edge of the pot, i.e. in the closed position when the hinge point b the zenith of the circular arc x in the horizontal, defined by the Dead center level T-T, has exceeded.
  • the adapter ring 10 also has inputs and Outflow openings 11, realized, here in the form of Romanesque window arches.
  • the front edge of the pot rim is visible on or slightly below the Windowsill of such inflow and outflow openings 11.
  • This adapter side Inflow and outflow openings 11 are in addition to the cover-side already mentioned realized.
  • the variant of the metering reservoir D shown in FIGS. 5 to 7 is in principle same structure, also with regard to the design of the adapter ring 10.
  • inflow and outflow openings 12 there is a modified one Execution with regard to the formation of inflow and outflow openings 12. They are achieved in that the metering storage cover 2 circumferentially at least partially in its connection to the adapter ring 10 there or directly to the dosing reservoir pot 1 to form inlets on the opening and overflow openings 12 is set back.
  • the setback goes after inside, i.e. the dome-shaped lid 2 there is transverse to Folding plane, which is identical to the section VII, VII in Fig. 6, partially slightly dented against each other. So arise between the fixed joint 5 and the socket 6 realized in this embodiment narrow crescent-like column (cf. closed position according to FIG. 5).
  • the juxtaposition of the rim of the pot and lid as the defined closed position is there interrupted.
  • FIG. 4 As for the introduction of, for example, gel-like or pasty laundry treatment agents relates, reference is made to the illustration in FIG. 4. There is based on the metering memory shown in FIGS. 1 to 3. They are here too Transfer reference numbers accordingly. Training continues from the center of the there a metering lid 1, which is basically coupled in a dome shape Opening 13 out. It provides free access to the inside of the Dosing memory D. It is a relatively narrow opening 13. The latter continues like a tube into the interior of said dosing reservoir D.
  • the Corresponding tube with a circular cross section is used as a guide cylinder 14 designed. This is based on an essentially flat, ring-shaped Shoulder 15 off. In terms of level, the guide cylinder 14 extends in the closed position of the dosing reservoir D essentially up to the height of the rim of the Dosing storage pot 1.
  • Recess 17 and subsequent opening 13 serve to dock a bottle 18, containing the refillable laundry treatment agent.
  • the bottle 18 is designed as a squeeze bottle.
  • Bottle 18 offering wall sections with corresponding dispensing confirmation can the content of a cylindrical output opening 19 of a cylindrical Apply filler neck 20.
  • the filler neck 20 has a so-called push-pull closure. It deals around a stop-limited axially displaceable slide 21 with a corresponding Locking or releasing effect to the leading filler neck 20 that him leads smoothly.
  • a gripping bead 22 In the back of the dispensing opening 19 formed by a spout-like mouth there is a gripping bead 22. The latter is supported radially on the inner wall of the described guide cylinder 14 in the docking position (see FIG. 4).
