Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an improved, preferably household washing machine, provided with a front drawer for the introduction and delivery of products for the washing, as detergents, softeners and so on, such as in EP 0 410 086 A .
  • Such drawer which is widely known, and that in the following will be briefly called “detergent drawer”, is realized and lodged in a way to be easily extractable and introduced in the machine with an horizontal movement.
  • Such drawer can be moved into and out of the machine without specific problems; however, in order to facilitate its control by the user, and also to make the front panel of it more aligned with the machine front wall, essentially for aesthetic reasons, sometimes the drawer is provided with a mechanism called "push-push”, per se known, which offers the possibility of disengaging the drawer from the introduced position simply by a light front pushing.
  • the drawer when the drawer is being introduced for said short over-run, it may happen an annoying drawback; in the facts, with ref. to fig. 1 , it may happen that the machine top is composed of two separate flat elements, i. e. of a flat rear surface 1 and of a front frame 2, extending for the whole machine width.
  • Said two elements 1 and 2 are separated by a groove 3.
  • the drawer front panel 4 is, for aesthetic reasons, provided with a top portion 5 which is flat, horizontal, extending back at the level of said machine top, and interrupting a front part of said frame 2 until said groove 3, as clearly shown in figure 1 .
  • a clothes washing machine provided with a top surface, with a detergent drawer, and an associated push-push mechanism, placed on the machine upper front wall
  • said drawer being provided with a front panel with a top portion extending at least partially and horizontally towards the machine flat rear surface, and with a groove horizontally extending between said flat rear surface and said top portion of the front panel of said drawer, that will eliminate, or at least reduce the drawback of the collision between said flat rear surface and said top portion of the detergent drawer during the over-run of the push-push mechanism.
  • a front-loader washing machine comprises:
  • the machine and specifically the detergent drawer is provided with means and devices which allow to avoid the described drawback, through a simple lifting of the drawer front panel 4 , that is a raising movement of said front panel when it is being fully inserted for the whole over-run of the push-push.
  • the invention may be implemented according to the following profitable embodiment: with ref. to the figures 4 , and 4A said detergent drawer comprises a front structure 10 placed just behind said front panel 4, into said structure being arranged:
  • Said first rotation element 13 is also provided with a second pair of pivots 16, 17 which are coaxial, the relevant axis X2 being parallel to said first axis X1, and the inner wall of said front panel 4 is correspondently provided with respective cylindrical lodgings 18, 19 which are coaxial, placed and sized so to be able of lodging respective said pivots 16, 17.
  • Said first rotation element is moreover sized and arranged with such an inclination that its contiguous but non aligned pivots 14 and 16 are so placed that the pivot 16 is arranged in a higher and fore position with respect to the respective pivot 14, as schematically shown in fig. 6 ; the same is realized also for the pivot 15 with respect to the corresponding contiguous and not coaxial pivot 17.
  • said rotation is turned into a lifting movement, further over a backwards movement, of the pivots 16 and 17, said lifting movement being so transferred, across the lodgings 18 and 19, to the front panel 4, and particularly to the top portion 5, making it to raise, as schematically shown in fig. 3 .
  • the push-push mechanism will be implemented by a first device firm with the front panel 4, and by a second corresponding device connected to the machine main frame, in such a way that the mechanism itself can act only on the front panel 4 and not on the detergent drawer itself.
  • Said second rotation element 20 is moreover shaped and oriented with an inclination such that the two contiguous and not aligned pivots 23 and 25, (belonging to respective and different couples al pivots), are placed in such a way that the pivots 25, 26 are arranged in a higher and fore position with respect to the respective contiguous pivots 23, 24 of said third couple of pivots (figg. 4, 4A, 6 and 7).
  • third axis X3 and fourth axis X4 which are parallel, are also parallel to said two axis X1 and X2.
  • the distance R between the first and the third axis X1 and X3 is made equal to the distance between the axis X2 of the lodgings 16, 17, and the axis X4 of the lodgings 21, 22.
  • an inclined edge 32 is formed, and on at least on one of said rotation elements 13 a corresponding contact surface 33 is formed too, which is able of being touched by said inclined edge, so that it can be pushed by a force acting towards the side wall of the machine, caused by the reciprocal interaction between said elements 32 and 33 when said rotation element 13 is pushed backwards during the final push-push run.
  • such inclined edge 32 shows an inclination with a not null angle a with respect to a vertical plane P1 orthogonal to the machine front wall; in such a way the contact surface 33 of the rotation element 13 acts as a tappet, and slides on said inclined edge 32, here working as a cam.
  • the final effect is that, during the rotation of the rotation element 13, when pushing the front panel, schematically represented by the figures 10 and 11 in the initial and final orientations, said element 13 is urged to move towards the direction of said inclined edge 32, and therefore, in the embodiment of figures 12 and 13 , and also represented in the fugures 14 and 15, towards the choose side wall, with the result of also departing and separating said side rim 30 of the front panel 4 from said rim 31, as desired to avoid the side collision.
  • the front panel 4 rotation which basically rotates being driven by the axis X1 and X2, takes also a sideward component, further to the upward component as just described.
  • Fig 18 is shown a washing machine detail referring to a detergent drawer and related front panel, according to a preferred embodiment of the invention as previously described.
  • the invention configuration is such that the lifting, and possibly the side movement of the detergent drawer begins from the position wherein the drawer is closed and at a rest; in the fact in this condition the drawer position results to be perfectly aligned with the remaining contiguous machine surfaces, i. e. the top and the front wall.
