Definitions

  • the invention relates to a lid for a salt container of a softening device of a dishwasher or the like., For closing a filling opening for salt, wherein the lid is pivotally mounted on one side via at least one hinge and is fixed in its closed position.
  • the filling opening of a salt container of a softening device of a dishwasher are usually designed as a screw cap with an internal thread (cf., for example, DE-38 24 566-C or DE-196 14 813-A1), which can be screwed onto a corresponding external thread formed in the region of the filling opening , These lids can be made only with a relatively large effort.
  • a canister with spout in which on a lid on the opposite side of a hinge by means of at least one handle hinge an actuating handle is pivotally mounted, which controls the closing or opening movement of the lid with guide means and keeps it in the closed position.
  • claws which include a guideway, fixed to the handle and the lid has in the guideway einragende transverse webs.
  • the invention is therefore the object of a generic cover in a simple manner so that it can be easily and safely closed or opened.
  • an actuating handle controls the closing or opening movement of the lid with guide means and holds this in the closed position and that the operating handle on at least one side has a downwardly projecting cheek, on which an inwardly projecting guide pin are arranged, which dips when closing the lid in a guide groove
  • the opening or closing of the lid is much easier for the user.
  • the arrangement of the guide groove on the lid and guided in this groove pin inside the cheek of the operating handle protects the pin and the guide groove from dirt or damage, thus ensuring a safe operation when opening and closing the lid.
  • a guided in a groove pin can be produced in a simple manner.
  • a generic lid is further developed in a simple manner so that it can be easily and safely closed or opened.
  • the guide is preferably a curve extending around the pivot point of the handle hinge of the actuating handle, whereby a uniform opening or closing movement of the lid is ensured.
  • the curve with increasing opening movement has a smaller distance from the pivot point of the handle hinge of the actuating handle.
  • the lid therefore has a collar projecting into the closed position into a filler neck surrounding the filling opening, which collar is encompassed by a seal which sealingly bears against the inner wall of the filler neck.
  • a circumferentially fitting seal i. a radially acting seal, does not require a large contact pressure for a sufficient sealing effect. Therefore, the lid according to the invention can be opened or closed without great effort and the life of the seal is not shortened by acting on them, low contact force.
  • the collar is cylindrical and the seal is an O-ring seal.
  • An O-ring seal - a so-called O-ring is a very durable, easy-to-install seal.
  • An unspecified dishwasher has a softening device, which essentially consists of an ion exchanger, not shown, and a salt container only partially shown.
  • the softening device is arranged under a floor pan, not shown, of a washing container, not shown, of the dishwasher.
  • the salt container serves to generate a brine for regenerating the ion exchanger.
  • the salt container has a closable by a lid 1 according to the invention filler neck 2 for salt.
  • the lid 1 is pivotally mounted on one side via at least one hinge 3.
  • the lid 1 in the embodiment shown is composed essentially of four parts. With a mounting plate 7, the lid 1 is screwed onto the provided with an external thread filler neck 2 of the salt container.
  • This mounting plate 7 has on each side a support 8, on each of which a hinge pin 9 of the hinge 3 is formed projecting inwardly.
  • a hinge receptacle of the bolt 4 and the seal 5 bearing lid lower part 10 is arranged below the hinge pin 9, a hinge receptacle of a lid upper part 11 is arranged.
  • the lower cover part 10 is connected to the upper cover part 11 by means of a projecting into a slot-shaped receptacle 13 with stop shoulder of the upper cover part 11 snap bar 12 of the lower lid part 10, which has a widening in installation position in the direction of the contact shoulder cross-section.
  • an actuating handle 15 is pivotally mounted on the cover 1 on the side opposite the hinge 3 by means of a handle hinge 14. With arranged on the actuating handle 15 guide means the closing or opening movement of the lid 1 is controlled and held in the closed position.
  • the opening or closing of the lid 1 is substantially facilitated for the user.
  • the lid 1 is pivotally mounted on at least one hinge 3, it is further ensured that the cover 1 is always available and, in contrast to the known, screw-on lids can not be installed.
  • the handle hinge 14 is formed by integrally formed on the lower lid part 10 "U" -shaped receptacles 16.
  • the hinge pin 17 is arranged on the actuating handle 15 and is held by a latching lug 18 which is integrally formed on the lid upper part 11 in the receptacle 16.
  • the guide means for controlling the closing or opening movement of the cover 1 and the actuating handle 15 are on at least one side, in the embodiment on both sides, the actuating handle 15 mounted downwardly projecting cheeks 19, on which an inwardly projecting guide pin 20 is arranged which dips into a guide groove 21.
  • This guide groove 21 is disposed in a towering cheek 22 of the mounting plate 7 and extends along a curve extending around the pivot point of the handle hinge 14 of the actuating handle 15, the curve being closer to the pivot point of the handle hinge 14 of the actuating handle 15 as the opening movement increases. during the movement of the operating handle 15 to the open position (see Fig.
  • the cover 1 therefore has a collar 4 projecting in the closed position into a filler neck 2 surrounding the filling opening, which collar is enclosed by a seal 5 which bears sealingly against the inner wall of the filler neck 2 (see FIG. 2).
  • the collar 4 is cylindrical and has an annular groove 6, in which the seal 5, which is an O-ring seal - usually called O-ring - is inserted.
  • a circumferentially-seated gasket 5, i. a radially acting seal, does not require a large contact pressure for a sufficient sealing effect. Therefore, the lid 1 is to be opened or closed without much effort and the life of the seal 5 is not shortened by acting on it, low contact pressure.
  • the symbol for salt which is common in dishwashers is mounted on the lid upper part 11 in order to prevent the user from filling in another dishwashing agent, eg cleaner, instead of salt.
  • the upper lid part 11 but can also be used for inscriptions, eg advertising for a salt brand.
  • a generic cover 1 is further developed in a simple manner so that it can be easily closed or opened.
