Abstract
Description
Claims (8)
- IMPROVED CLOSING SYSTEM IN PLASTIC TANK FOR WASHING MACHINE, being of the kind of those that are made up of two halves that are obtained from a mould, staying opened the union base in both halves, while the other base of one of the halves coincides with the frontal part of the tank that is relative to the washing machine door and the other one defines the closed back part with the axial central hole for the pass of the drum spindle, characterized because the halves (1) and (2), that form the washing machine tank by means of their union, have a plurality of radial lungs that are backed among them, so that the lungs of one of the halves have the respective projections while the backed lungs have the respective passing holes.
- IMPROVED CLOSING SYSTEM IN PLASTIC TANK FOR WASHING MACHINE according to the first claim and characterized because the projections, that are like a right angle to the radial lungs (3) of one of the halves (1) of the tank, are made up of the respective studs (7) that are endowed of a central axial hole.
- IMPROVED CLOSING SYSTEM IN PLASTIC TANK FOR WASHING MACHINE according to the previous claims and characterized because the studs (7), which are interlocked to the lungs (3) of one of the halves (1) of the tank, have a blocked up axial central hole, so that they stay inserted and jutting out on the holes (8) of the backed lungs (4) of the other half (2) whose other free extreme is heated, founding it for defining a mass like a fragment of a sphere (11) with a bigger diameter than the hole (8), materializing the fixing because of its solidification and cooling.
- IMPROVED CLOSING SYSTEM IN PLASTIC TANK FOR WASHING MACHINE according to the first and second claims and characterized because the studs (7), which are interlocked to the lungs (3) of one of the halves (1) of the tank, have a passing axial central hole, so that they stay inserted and jutting out on the holes (8) of the backed lungs (4) of the other half (2), being applied heat on their free extreme. In this way, it is founded for defining a mass like a perimetric cord (13) of calf-length section, with a bigger diameter than the hole (8), materializing the fixing because of its solidification and cooling.
- IMPROVED CLOSING SYSTEM IN PLASTIC TANK FOR WASHING MACHINE according to the previous claims and characterized because during the smelting process of the free extremes of the studs (7) and the solidification process and cooling process of the smelted mass, a constant pressure is done on both halves, so that it allows the perfect union and shape of the tank.
- IMPROVED CLOSING SYSTEM IN PLASTIC TANK FOR WASHING MACHINE according to the first claim and characterized because the projections, that are like a right angle to the radial lungs (3) of one of the halves (1) of the tank, are defined by respective tubular bodies (14) while the lungs (4) of the other half (2) of the tank have a passing hole (16) with a stretch with a truncated cone shape (17) with regard to its internal side and the system also has a pair of strengthenings (18), in relationship to the cited internal side, that bear a body (19) with a truncated cone shape, being all obtained during the own manufacture process starting from a mould of the half (2) of the tank.
- IMPROVED CLOSING SYSTEM IN PLASTIC TANK FOR WASHING MACHINE according to the first and sixth claims and characterized because both tubular projections (14) are endowed of a pair of axial clefts (15) in relationship to its free base while they have a passing hole in relationship to its central part.
- IMPROVED CLOSING SYSTEM IN PLASTIC TANK FOR WASHING MACHINE according to the first, sixth and seventh claims and characterized because the union of the halves (1) and (2) will be done once the tubular bodies (14) are inserted into the respective holes (16) through a press knock that will introduce the bodies (19) into the tubular bodies (14) under pressure so that the extremes of these bodies will be opened on the stretch with truncated cone shape of the hole (16) where they are lodged.
