Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Laugenbehälter (1) für eine Trommelwaschmaschine (8) mit zumindest einem mittels Schraubverbindung (13) befestigten Ballastgewicht (10, 11), welches auf Auflagebereiche (17) an der Behälterwand (2, 6) angedrückt wird, wobei für die Schraubverbindung (13) an der Behälterwand (2, 6) jeweils ein Zapfen (15) angeformt ist, der in eine korrespondierende Öffnung (16) im Ballastgewicht (10, 11) ragt, wobei zwischen dem Zapfen (15) und der Öffnung (16) ein umlaufender Hohlraum (18) verbleibt.The invention relates to a tub (1) for a drum washing machine (8) having at least one ballast weight (10, 11) fastened by means of a screw connection (13) which is pressed onto support areas (17) on the container wall (2, 6) Screw connection (13) on the container wall (2, 6) in each case a pin (15) is formed which projects into a corresponding opening (16) in the ballast weight (10, 11), wherein between the pin (15) and the opening (16 ) a circumferential cavity (18) remains.

Um zu verhindern, dass sich das Ballastgewicht (11) im Wasch- oder Schleuderbetrieb lockert und seitlich hin- und her bewegt, ist in den Hohlraum (18) zwischen dem Zapfen (15) und dem Ballastgewicht (10, 11) ein umlaufendes, elastisches Element (19) eingesetzt, welches den Hohlraum (18) zumindest bereichsweise ausfüllt. Mit dieser Maßnahme können große Toleranzen hinsichtlich der Öffnungen (16) zugelassen werden, wobei mit dem elastischen Element (19) ein guter Festsitz im Auflagebereich (17) erreicht wird.

Figure imgaf001
In order to prevent that the ballast weight (11) loosens during washing or spinning operation and moves laterally back and forth, in the cavity (18) between the pin (15) and the ballast weight (10, 11) is a circumferential, elastic Element (19) used, which fills the cavity (18) at least partially. With this measure, large tolerances with respect to the openings (16) can be allowed, with the elastic element (19) a good tight fit in the support area (17) is achieved.
