Abstract

A plastic funnel (1), with a removable lid (8), is integrally mounted on a bell-shaped base (2) whose rim fits over the salt filler neck (6,7) on the machine. The passage between funnel and base is closed by a horizontally sliding gate or trap (3). After placing the required amount of salt in the funnel, the user places the base over the dishwasher salt filler. The trap is then pulled open, allowing the salt to enter the machine.

Description

La présente invention concerne une dose de sel régénérant pour lave-vaisselle.The present invention relates to a dose of regenerating salt for dishwasher.

Comme on le sait, les lave-vaisselle sont dotés d'un récipient à sel régénérant, appelé aussi distributeur de sel ou réservoir pour le sel régénérant.As we know, dishwashers have a regenerating salt container, also called salt dispenser or tank for regenerating salt.

Le remplissage du récipient à sel régénérant dans un lave-vaisselle se fait généralement avec un entonnoir. On connait déjà un dispositif, montré par exemple par le document Allemand DE A 42 14 147 notamment, bouchant la sortie de la partie inférieure de l'entonnoir permettant ainsi de verser le sel régénérant hors du lave-vaisselle, ce qui n'est pas pratique pour les utilisateurs pour plusieurs raisons:

  • Avec ce type d'entonnoir ou de dispositif, la manipulation n'est pas aisée puisqu'il faut d'abord remplir de sel l'entonnoir.
  • Puis placer le dispositif sur l'embouchure de remplissage du lave-vaisselle.
    • Dans ces conditions, il est difficile de remplir l'entonnoir sans renverser de sel
    • il est encore plus difficile de ne pas renverser de sel lors de la manipulation délicate de mise en place du dispositif sur l'embouchure de remplissage à sel du lave-vaisselle, surtout si le lave-vaisselle est plein
    • ce qui n'est ni pratique, ni facile pour l'utilisateur
    • l'utilisateur ne peut donc pas contrôler efficacement et savoir combien de sel, il a réellement mis dans le récipient du lave-vaisselle.
The filling of the regenerating salt container in a dishwasher is generally done with a funnel. A device is already known, shown for example by the German document DE A 42 14 147 in particular, blocking the outlet of the lower part of the funnel thus making it possible to pour the regenerating salt out of the dishwasher, which is not practical for users for several reasons:
  • With this type of funnel or device, handling is not easy since the funnel must first be filled with salt.
  • Then place the device on the filling mouth of the dishwasher.
    • Under these conditions, it is difficult to fill the funnel without spilling salt
    • it is even more difficult not to spill salt during the delicate handling of positioning the device on the salt filling mouth of the dishwasher, especially if the dishwasher is full
    • which is neither practical nor easy for the user
    • the user therefore cannot effectively control and know how much salt he has actually put in the dishwasher container.

La présente invention a pour but de rendre simple, propre et pratique le remplissage du récipient à sel régénérant du lave-vaisselle. Evitant ainsi manipulation délicate et gaspillage de sel régénérant. The present invention aims to make it simple, clean and practice filling the regenerating salt container in the dishwasher. This avoids delicate handling and wasting regenerating salt.

En effet, la dose, selon l'invention, est préremplie de sel régénérant, puis fermée par un opercule de sorte à constituer une dose unitaire, prête à l'emploi très pratique. Ainsi, plus de manipulation périlleuse de remplissage, ni hors du lave-vaisselle ni au coeur du lave-vaisselle. La dose se place ainsi facilement sur l'embouchure du récipient à sel du lave-vaisselle sans perte de sel. Son opercule lui permet d'être maniable en toute occasion, sans pourtant risquer de perdre du sel, ainsi même si le lave-vaisselle est plein, la dose pourra même être introduite penchée dans le lave-vaisselle avant d'être placée normalement sur l'embouchure de remplissage de sel régénérant du lave-vaisselle. De plus, la dose pouvant être de contenance variable, cela permet aux utilisateurs d'acheter la dose nécessaire et de connaítre la quantité de sel introduite.Indeed, the dose, according to the invention, is pre-filled with salt regenerating, then closed with a cover so as to constitute a dose unitary, ready to use very practical. So more manipulation perilous filling, neither out of the dishwasher nor inside of dishwasher. The dose is easily placed on the mouthpiece from the salt container of the dishwasher without losing salt. Its seal makes it easy to handle on any occasion, without risk of losing salt, so even if the dishwasher is full, the dose can even be introduced leaning in the dishwasher before to be placed normally on the salt filling mouth refreshing dishwasher. In addition, the dose may be variable capacity, this allows users to buy the dose necessary and to know the amount of salt introduced.

Préremplie de sel régénérant, il suffit de placer la dose sur l'embouchure du récipient à sel et de libérer le sel en dégageant la trappe de retenue.Pre-filled with regenerating salt, simply place the dose on the mouth of the salt container and release the salt by releasing the retaining hatch.

Ainsi libéré, le sel s'écoule entièrement et directement dans le récipient à sel du lave-vaisselle, sans gaspillage, ni geste maladroit.Thus released, the salt flows completely and directly into the salt container in the dishwasher, without waste or awkward gesture.

Les avantages obtenus, grâce à cette invention, consiste essentiellement en ce que le chargement du récipient à sel s'effectue facilement, sans manipulation délicate, avec possibilité de contrôler la quantité de sel introduite dans le récipient à sel, sans risque de gaspillage.The advantages obtained, thanks to this invention, consist essentially in that the loading of the salt container takes place easily, without delicate handling, with the possibility of controlling the amount of salt introduced into the salt container, without risk of waste.

Cette invention peut trouver de nombreux débouchés, elle est un réel "plus" produit offert aux consommateurs par les fabricants et vendeurs de sel régénérant toujours soucieux de prouver qu'ils innovent en améliorant et en facilitant l'utilisation de leurs produits. Cette dose de sel régénérant, innovante, d'une grande facilité d'utilisation devient un argument de vente, associée au baril traditionnel en cadeau publicitaire, ou en dose individuelle créant de nouvelle habitude de consommation. This invention can find many outlets, it is a real "plus" product offered to consumers by manufacturers and salt vendors always refreshing to prove that they innovate by improving and facilitating the use of their products. This dose of regenerating salt, innovative, very easy of use becomes a selling point, associated with the barrel traditional as an advertising gift, or as an individual dose creating new consumption habit.

D'autres caractéristiques et les avantages de l'invention apparaítront dans la description ci-dessous, donnée à titre d'exemple non limitatif et au regard des dessins annexés, sur lesquels:

  • Figure 1: représente une vue de face d'un mode de réalisation préféré de la dose de sel régénérant pour lave-vaisselle selon l'invention. La trappe de retenue est montrée dans une première position.
  • Figure 2: représente une vue de face de la dose de la figure 1 avec la trappe de retenue dans une deuxième position.
    • Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will appear in the description below, given by way of nonlimiting example and with regard to the appended drawings, in which:
  • Figure 1: shows a front view of a preferred embodiment of the dose of regenerating salt for dishwasher according to the invention. The retaining flap is shown in a first position.
  • Figure 2: shows a front view of the dose of Figure 1 with the retaining hatch in a second position.

    • La dose de sel régénérant pour lave-vaisselle, caractérisée en ce qu'elle comprend:

    • une partie évasée supérieure préremplie de sel régénérant (1);
    • une ouverture inférieure de sortie du sel (2) s'adaptant sur l'embouchure (6) du récipient à sel des lave-vaisselle (7);
    • une trappe de retenue (3) reliée à un organe, de sorte à retenir le sel dans une première position (4) de l'organe de commande et à libérer le passage du sel dans une deuxième position(5);
    • enfin un opercule (8) obturant ladite partie évasée supérieure (1).
    The dose of regenerating salt for dishwashers, characterized in that it comprises:
    • an upper flared part pre-filled with regenerating salt (1);
    • a lower salt outlet opening (2) fitting onto the mouth (6) of the dishwasher salt container (7);
    • a retaining hatch (3) connected to a member, so as to retain the salt in a first position (4) of the control member and to free the passage of the salt in a second position (5);
    • finally a cover (8) closing said upper flared part (1).

    La trappe de retenue (3) située à la base de la partie évasée (1) permet de poser d'une manière stable la partie inférieure de la dose (2), c'est à dire l'ouverture inférieure de sortie du sel (2), sur l'embouchure (6) du récipient à sel du lave-vaisselle (7), venant en butée contre ladite embouchure (6) du récipient (7). The retaining hatch (3) located at the base of the flared part (1) allows the lower part of the dose to be placed in a stable manner (2), i.e. the lower salt outlet opening (2), on the mouth (6) of the salt container of the dishwasher (7), coming abutment against said mouth (6) of the container (7).

    A cet effet, l'ouverture inférieure de sortie de sel (2) conçue pour s'adapter à un récipient classique pour le sel (7), vient s'adapter parfaitement sur l'embouchure (6) grâce à son diamètre extérieur très légèrement supérieur à celui de l'embouchure (6), lui permettant de coiffer d'une manière stable l'embouchure (6) de chargement du récipient à sel (7). L'écoulement du sel se fait rapidement et sans perte de sel puisque la dose fait corps avec l'embouchure (6) du lave-vaisselle (7).For this purpose, the lower salt outlet opening (2) designed to adapt to a conventional container for salt (7), comes to adapt perfectly on the mouth (6) thanks to its very outer diameter slightly higher than that of the mouthpiece (6), allowing it to steadily cap the loading mouth (6) of the salt container (7). The salt flows quickly and without loss of salt since the dose forms part of the mouth (6) of the dishwasher (7).

    La distance qui sépare le fond de la trappe, de la base de l'ouverture inférieure (2) de la dose est supérieure à la distance séparant le sommet de l'embouchure (6) du récipient de la base de la chambre du lave-vaisselle (7).The distance from the bottom of the hatch to the base of the lower dose opening (2) is greater than the distance separating the top of the mouth (6) of the container from the base of the dishwasher chamber (7).

    L'utilisateur connaít exactement la quantité de sel qu'il verse dans le récipient à sel du lave-vaisselle (7), en fonction de la dose choisie.The user knows exactly how much salt he pours in the salt container of the dishwasher (7), depending on the dose chosen.

    La contenance de la dose peut être variable. Sans toutefois dépasser des proportions qui empêcheraient à la dose de s'introduire d'une manière normale dans le lave-vaisselle.The dose capacity can be variable. Without however exceed proportions that would prevent the dose from get into the dishwasher in a normal way.

    L'orifice d'écoulement (2) de la dose peut être de diamètre variable, mais on peut tout de même prévoir une dose à orifice d'écoulement pouvant s'adapter à un maximum de récipient à sel (7), et ce quel que soit la marque ou le modèle de lave-vaisselle.The dose opening (2) can be of diameter variable, but we can still plan an orifice dose flow that can adapt to a maximum of salt container (7), regardless of the brand or model of dishwasher.

    La matière constitutive de la dose est de préférence le plastique, mais une autre matière constitutive peut être envisagée.The constituent material of the dose is preferably the plastic, but another constituent material can be envisaged.

    Bien sûr, la dose décrite peut subir de nombreuses modifications sans toutefois sortir du champ de l'invention.Of course, the described dose can undergo many modifications without however departing from the scope of the invention.

    Par exemple, on peut tout à fait imaginer que la trappe de retenue (3) obéisse à un autre mécanisme que celui de la tirette.For example, one can quite imagine that the hatch of retainer (3) obeys a mechanism other than that of the pull tab.
