Definitions
- the present invention relates to a washing machine with a detergent distributor comprising a drawer movable within a housing provided in the front part of the machine.
- extractable drawers with a plurality of compartments are commonly known into which the user fills the detergent, fabric softener, and bleach. After the drawer is pushed in and the program is started, the machine automatically flushes the detergents into the soap container of the machine at the right time.
- the guide of this drawer in the corresponding housing or box, into which the drawer is pushed and which is responsible for directing the water into the individual drawer chamber, consists typically of grooves on the left and right side of the box, into which two corresponding ledges of the drawer are slidably inserted.
- the guides in both cases do not allow a smooth sliding of the drawer, also in view of friction between the drawer and its housing.
- a solution is known from DE-A-10061155 in which several rollers or balls are interposed between rails in the housing and in the drawer respectively. Such rollers or balls are then interposed between the rails and they need cages to be maintained in the proper position. This kind of construction is quite complex and expensive.
- the present invention eliminates the above drawbacks and provide a detergent distributor with a cost comparable to the present one, with a smooth pulling out/in movement which is independent on how the force is applied by the user to the drawer. Moreover the detergent distributor according to the invention gives the user a solid, stable, and user-friendly impression. The task is solved according to the attached claims.
- the invention can provide a detergent distributor whose drawer has a very smooth movement in and out of its housing, and which is more reliable to use.
- a front loading washing machine (not shown) is provided, in its front wall, with a detergent distributor 14 comprising a drawer 16 and a housing 18 in which the drawer 16 is slidably mounted.
- the drawer 16 is provided with detergent and/or softener/bleach compartments D and, on each of its sides, with a first longitudinal rib 17 and with two rollers 19 and 21 respectively
- rollers 19 and 21 on each side of the drawer 16 are placed in the rear area thereof and they are staggered in height, so that the fist roller 19 is at a lower level compared to the second roller 21, and it is placed at a longer distance from the rear wall of the drawer 16 compared to the second roller 21.
- Both rollers 19 and 21 are rotatably mounted to the side of the drawer by means of E-shaped clip elements F which are apt to be snap-engaged in corresponding apertures (not shown) in the sides of the drawer 16.
- the clip elements F are used to fasten U-shaped supports S in which rollers 19 and 21 are rotatably mounted.
- the housing 18 is provided, in its front area, with a couple of seats 25 in the form of grooves apt to receive two E-shaped roller holders 27 on which rollers 29 are rotatably mounted, one for each side of the housing 18.
- rollers 29 are designed to cooperate with a lower surface 17a of the first rib 17 as will be clear from the following description, particularly with reference to figures 3 and 4.
- Both rollers 19 and 21 are dimensioned so as to cooperate with a second longitudinal rib 23 integral with the housing 18.
- the first or lower roll 19 is apt to cooperate with a lower surface 23a of the rib 23, while the second or upper roll 21 is designed to cooperate with an upper surface 23b of the rib 23.
- the drawer 16 can then be inserted into the horizontal rib 23 between the two rollers 19 and 21 in the rear area, wherein the rib 23 is molded to the housing or box 18.
- the drawer is guided between the two rollers 19 and 21 and it is thus supported on the top and bottom.
- each roller 29 is attached to the left and right side of the box, and the drawer 16 runs, by means of rib 17 thereof, on these rollers 29 as well.
- the drawer then runs on rollers with reduced surface friction drag and gives the customer the perception of being easily operated.
- the drawer 16 is suspended on rollers in horizontal and vertical direction, wherein the rollers 50 and 52 are held by roller holders 50a and 52a respectively mounted in corresponding grooves 54 and 56 in the housing 18, so that the drawer can be pulled out with reduced friction.
- the drawer 16 present two upper wing portions 58 in which are defined U-shaped channels 58a in which the rollers 50 can rotate.
- the rollers 52 with vertical axes rotate on side surfaces 58b of the wing portions 58.
