Definitions
- the present invention relates to a door for closing the opening for access to the washing tank of front-loading, domestic washing machines or washing/drying machines, of the type which comprises a dome-shaped wall with its convex side facing towards the access opening, and which is movable between an open position and a closure position in which it forms a watertight seal with respect to the front wall of the machine by means of the interposition of a gasket, the door being provided with recesses for holding washing agents to be released for dilution in the tank in accordance with specific stages of the operative cycle of the machine.
- the porthole-shaped door which is described in this document comprises a domed portion which extends appreciably axially towards the interior of the machine and is separated from the exterior by a substantially flat wall. Between the flat wall and the domed portion there is a hollow space with one or more compartments which are intended to hold one or more washing agents. These are introduced vertically through an opening formed radially in the dome and, during the operating cycle of the machine, are diluted by the washing liquid which enters the space inside the dome both through the input opening and through an outlet opening formed by a labyrinthine path which is provided in a position opposite that in which the input opening is disposed.
- the porthole-shaped door in this case also has a dome-shaped portion extending appreciably axially towards the interior of the tank.
- the washing agents have to be introduced into the various compartments in the domed portion with the door open.
- the object of the present invention is to devise a door for closing and opening the opening for access to the tank of a washing machine and/or washing/drying machine which contains the compartments for the loading of the washing agents without having the disadvantages encountered in the prior art.
- the front wall of a front-loading washing machine is indicated 1.
- the machine may also be of the washing/drying type.
- the wall has an opening 2 which affords access to the rotary drum 3 which in turn is housed in conventional manner inside the washing tank 4.
- the door 7 is movable between a closure position and an open position, for example, by pivoting about a vertical hinge axis which is not shown because it is conventional.
- the door 7 may also be of the type in which the movement in order to move from the closure position to the open position and vice versa takes place by means of an articulated parallelogram-like system of levers, which is also known and conventional.
- the door 7 is constituted by a dome-shaped wall 8 the convex surface 8a of which faces towards the interior of the machine, that is, towards the washing tank 4.
- the wall 8 which may be made of transparent plastics material in conventional manner, is supported by an annular frame 9.
- a second wall 10, also with a convex shape, is connected to the wall 8 and spaced therefrom by a distance in the axial direction, forming an intermediate pocket 11.
- the pocket 11 has an outlet opening 12 which is open towards the interior of the drum 3.
- a container 13 is placed in the pocket 11 and can be removed through the upper opening 14 of the pocket 11.
- the container 13 is formed by opposed walls 15 and 16 which fit the shape of the walls 8 and 10 of the pocket 11, as well as by opposed side walls 17 and 18 ( Figure 3).
- the wall 15 has, at its end 15a, a hinge 19 on which a lid 20 is articulated; when raised, the lid 20 affords access to the opening 21 of the removable container 13, which is formed in the upper end thereof.
- the opening 21 is positioned in the region of the access opening 14 of the pocket 11.
- the lower portion of the removable container 13 is provided with an outlet opening 22 which is positioned in the region of the opening 12 of the pocket 11.
- the opening 22 is partially obstructed by a transverse wall 23 which, together with an opposed base wall 24, defines a substantially labyrinthine connection between the interior of the container 13 and the drum 3 in the tank 4.
- the removable container 13 may be subdivided into several compartments arranged side by side with respective access openings 21a and 21b, as shown in Figure 3.
- compartments are intended to hold, in conventional manner, various washing agents, particularly in the form of powders or spheres.
- the opening 22 in the base of that compartment must be arranged to be closed to prevent the liquid being discharged directly into the tank during the filling of the compartment.
- the compartment for this purpose therefore has an auxiliary duct 25 formed between the wall 15 of the container 13 and a wall 26 parallel and adjacent thereto.
- the duct 25 has a mouth 25a disposed inside the compartment at a predetermined height above the base, as well as a lower outlet 25b which opens into the opening 12 of the pocket 11.
- the duct 25 thus behaves as a siphon.
- the wall 8 of the door has at least one through-hole 27 which, on the side facing towards the tank 4, is in alignment with a nozzle 28 forming part of the water supply system of the washing machine, which is not shown in detail because it is conventional; on the other side, the through-hole 27 is in a position above the opening 21 of the removable container 13.
- the through-hole 27 is formed in the convex wall 8 of the door in a position which, when the door 7 is closed, is disposed inside of the watertight gasket 6.
- the container 13 can in any case be removed from the pocket 11 without the need to dismantle parts.
