Definitions

  • the invention refers to a detergent products dispenser integrated with the loading hopper of a top-loading washing machine.
  • a detergent supply unit for a laundry washing machine comprising a container formed with compartments for detergents and additives, and a distributor removably secured to the container and provided with internal passages communicating with the individual compartments.
  • a displaceable piston actuated by the program unit of the machine is effective to divert the water to selected compartments.
  • This detergent supply unit mounted in the upper portion of the housing of the machine is provided with a closure lid, hingedly mounted on the upper plane of the housing.
  • This apparatus offers as advantage to permit the direct access to the supply unit and to unset in view to clean it without open the lid of the tub.
  • this solution has the disadvantage to permit the liquid overflowing out of the machine and in the space managed between the tub and the frame of the machine, because the little lid of the apparatus has not been previous to ensure a sufficient impermeability.
  • this solution reduces towards the back of the hopper the clearance section provided by it, which is disadvantageous for loading certain cumbersome part of linen because the lid length is too short.
  • the purpose of the present invention is to provide a solution for these disadvantages.
  • This invention resolves the problem consisting to define a process and create a system that enables, on the one hand, the detergent products dispenser to be easily installed and maintained and, on the other hand, to easily retract the dispenser to facilitate access to the machine drum and seating where the said dispenser is inserted, to perform maintenance on the said dispenser.
  • the advantages obtained through this invention consist primarily in that the loading hopper door directly seals the dispenser compartments without disturbing the door functioning, while avoiding overflows of detergent products that cause deposits, which are difficult to eliminate after their drying, and in that the easy removal of the dispenser allows, in particular, towards the back of the hopper, the clearance section provided by the hopper to be increased, which is advantageous for loading certain cumbersome parts.
  • the figures show the loading hopper 10 of a top-loading washing machine, equipped on the back with a detergent products dispenser 30.
  • the detergent compartments 310 to 312 are closed by the loading hopper lid 20 that includes closing seals 21 to 23.
  • the dispenser 30 constitute a removable assembly recessed in a seating 12 arranged in the back part 11 of the loading hopper 10. In this case, the said dispenser 30 is constantly held against the back wall of the recessed seating 12 by flexible slats 318 and 319.
  • the dispenser 30 includes on the top the inlet edges 326 to 328 made with a certain clearance that facilitates the contact of the closing seals 21 to 23 with the opening of the compartments 310 to 312 of the dispenser 30 and, on the sides and towards the front, the contact of the flexible return slats 318 and 319 of the dispenser 30 against the back of the seating 12 made in the hopper 10.
  • the dispenser 30 is very easy to remove from its seating to clean it or to enlarge towards the back the clearance section offered by the hopper 10 .
