Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a washing machine comprising a detergent box wherein the washing agents are placed.
  • Washing machines comprise detergent boxes wherein the washing agent is placed.
  • the washing agent placed in the detergent box is delivered into the washing tub after being mixed with the wash water.
  • washing agent residues accumulate at the bottom portions of the detergent box in the course of time.
  • Cleaning the detergent box by easily removing it and then being able to mount it into its place again when desired are of importance in terms of user satisfaction.
  • the detergent box is pulled out for placing washing agents therein, the detergent box is desired not to be completely removed from its place.
  • German Patent Document no DE19505292 a drawer is explained having a bypass mechanism composed of protrusions and opposite protrusions which prevent the drawer from being dislodged unintentionally.
  • Document WO-A1-03/089708 discloses a washing machine comprising a detergent box with several individual compartments, wherein washing agents such as detergent and softener are placed.
  • the individual compartments of the detergent box are separated by walls.
  • the washing machine further comprises a flushing device which provides the water received from the water supply to be directed into the detergent box.
  • the flushing device and the detergent box are both disposed in a detergent box chamber whereby the flushing device is located above the detergent box.
  • Two protrusions are located on the top face and on the rear side of the detergent box walls in the pulling direction.
  • two respective stoppers are located, which face the detergent box.
  • the aim of the present invention is the realization of a washing machine comprising a detergent box which is prevented from being completely removed from its chamber unintentionally when pulled out for placing washing agents therein.
  • the washing machine of the present invention comprises a detergent box having one or more compartments wherein washing agents are placed and one or more walls which border the compartments; and a detergent box chamber wherein the detergent box is disposed such that it can move back and forth, and a flushing device which is disposed above the detergent box chamber and which closes the detergent box from above when the detergent box is disposed into the detergent box chamber, and which provides the water received from the main supply to be directed to the detergent box by means of the holes located on itself.
  • the washing machine furthermore, comprises one or more protrusions which are located on the walls of the detergent box, and one or more stoppers which are located on the flushing device such that the protrusion will bear against the stopper during the movement of the detergent box.
  • the stopper When the detergent box is pulled out of the detergent box chamber for loading washing agents therein, the stopper forms a barrier in front of the protrusion and thus, prevents the detergent box from being completely removed from the detergent box chamber.
  • the stopper stretches and thus, provides the detergent box to be released from the detergent box chamber.
  • the stopper comprises an inclined outlet surface, against which the protrusion bears when the detergent box is pulled out, and an inclined inlet surface, against which the protrusion bears when the detergent box is pushed to be mounted into the detergent box chamber.
  • the protrusion bears against the inlet surface; and during the removal of the detergent box from the detergent box chamber, the protrusion bears against the outlet surface of the stopper.
  • the protrusion is formed as a wedge, wherein its side, which bears against the outlet surface during the removal of the detergent box from the detergent box chamber, is inclined, and its side, which bears against the inlet surface while the detergent box is mounted into the detergent box chamber, is vertical.
  • slits are located at both sides of the stopper.
  • the stopper is produced from the same material as the flushing device, whereon the stopper is located.
  • the washing machine comprises one or more stoppers produced from resilient material.
  • the amount of force, exerted for pulling out the detergent box to remove it from the detergent box chamber, is reduced.
  • the washing machine furthermore, comprises a channel, which is located before the stopper in the pulling direction of the detergent box, above the walls of the detergent box.
  • the washing machine comprises one protrusion on each intermediate wall which separates the compartments of the detergent box, and more than one stopper so as to correspond to these protrusions.
  • a washing machine (1) comprises a detergent box (2) having one or more compartments, wherein washing agents such as detergent and softener are placed and wherein the washing agents are mixed with water, and one or more walls which border the compartments; and a detergent box chamber (3) wherein the detergent box (2) is disposed, and a flushing device (4) which is disposed above the detergent box chamber (3) and which completely closes the detergent box (2) from above when the detergent box (2) is disposed into the detergent box chamber (3), and which provides the water received from the main supply to be directed into the detergent box (2).
  • the washing machine (1) furthermore, comprises
  • the protrusion (5) hits the stopper (6) and thus, prevents the detergent box (2) from being completely removed.
  • one part of the detergent box (2) remains outside the detergent box chamber (3) such that the access of the user into the detergent box (2) will be enabled.
  • the detergent box (2) is strongly pulled towards the front.
  • the stopper (6) leaps over the protrusion (5) by stretching towards the flushing device (4) and enables the detergent box (2) to be removed from the detergent box chamber (3). Accordingly, depending on the desire and aim of the user, the detergent box (2) is provided to be removed from the detergent box chamber (3) partially or completely.
  • the stopper (6) comprises
  • the protrusion (5) is formed as a wedge, wherein its side, which bears against the outlet surface (7) during the removal of the detergent box (2) from the detergent box chamber (3), is inclined, and its side, which bears against the inlet surface (8) while the detergent box (2) is mounted into the detergent box chamber (3), is vertical.
  • the inclined configuration of the outlet surface (7) facilitates the stretching of the stopper (6) towards the flushing device (4).
  • the inclined configuration of the inlet surface (8) facilitates the stretching of the stopper (6) towards the flushing device (4) and hence, the placing of the detergent box (2) into the detergent box chamber (3) again.
  • the washing machine (1) comprises at least two slits (9) at both sides of the stopper (6) located on the flushing device (4).
  • the stopper (6) is produced from the same material as the flushing device (4).
  • the slit (9) extends both towards the front and back of the stopper (6) at least to a considerable extent.
  • the stopper (6) is produced from a resilient material.
  • the removal of the detergent box (2) from the detergent box chamber (3) completely is performed by exerting less power and is facilitated.
  • the washing machine (1) furthermore, comprises a channel (10), which is located before the stopper (6) in the pulling direction (P) of the detergent box (2), on the flushing device (4) face that faces the detergent box (2).
  • a channel (10) which is located before the stopper (6) in the pulling direction (P) of the detergent box (2), on the flushing device (4) face that faces the detergent box (2).
  • the washing machine (1) comprises more than one protrusion (5) on the detergent box (2) walls, and more than one stopper (6) on the flushing device (4) such that the stoppers (6) will correspond to the protrusions (5).
  • the protrusions (5) are positioned on the intermediate walls, which are preferably located at the inner portion of the detergent box (2), to provide the detergent box (2) to be mounted into the detergent box chamber (3) and removed therefrom in a balanced manner.
  • a stopper (6) is located on each detergent box (2) wall that separates the compartments.
  • the detergent box (2) when the detergent box (2) is pulled towards the front for loading washing agent therein, the detergent box (2) is provided not to be completely removed out of the detergent box chamber (3), wherein it is disposed.
