Definitions
- the present finding concerns a shell for a ball to be used in automatic washing machines, such as washing machines and dish washers, according to the general part of claim 1.
- substantially spherical shaped balls which are used in the field of automatic washing of linen carried out through a washing machine.
- these balls are made from plastic material, they are provided with holes and/or slots on their surfaces and particles of solid material, such as ceramic granules and detergent products of various types are arranged inside them.
- Said balls are inserted inside the drum of the washing machine and, precisely thanks to the fact that they have some holes on their surfaces, the water used for the washing comes into contact with the materials arranged inside them.
- the surface of the balls creates a real mechanical rubbing effect on the garments to be washed, due to the swirling movement of the drum in which said balls are arranged together with the garments.
- Some of these balls can also be opened so as to allow the elements arranged inside them, which are worn out or in any case no longer effective, to be replaced or reintegrate. Moreover, some of these balls have protuberances that come out from their surface to increase the mechanical effect exerted by the balls themselves during the washing action.
- the purpose of the present finding is that of foreseeing a shell for a ball of such a type that, once applied to the latter, makes it possible to avoid the drawbacks described above.
- such a shell must make it possible for the water to come into contact with the content of the ball during the washing and must make it possible to access the inside of the ball easily, in the case in which said access is foreseen.
- said shell is made from elastic and soft material and has some holes and/or slots at the holes and/or slots present on the surface of the ball that it is intended to cover.
- the dimensions of said shell are such as to allow it to perfectly adhere to the surface of the ball; such a shell also has a hole to allow the shell itself to be widened during the insertion of the ball inside it or for taking out the ball from inside it.
- the shell 1 has a substantially spherical surface configuration. It is made from material that is both elastic and soft (advantageously it shall be made from food-grade silicone). It has a hole 2 that, being able to be widened thanks to the elastic characteristics of the material with which the shell is made, makes it possible to easily insert/take out the ball into/from the shell.
- the diameter of the shell shall be such as to allow the ball 3 to be perfectly inserted inside it (see figure 2 ).
- the shell At the outer surface of the shell there are some ribbings 7, that have the function of softening the bumps of the ball against the inner part of the drum of the washing machine in which the ball covered by the shell is inserted, as well as against garments present inside the drum itself.
- the shell is provided with holes 4, as well as, possibly, slots of various configuration, arranged at the holes and slots present on the surface of the ball. In such a way the substances contained in the ball (for example ceramic of various types and/or washing substances) come into contact with the water present inside the drum of the washing machine.
- figure 3 it can also be seen that, again at the inner surface of the shell, in a position opposite with respect to that in which there is the hole 2 for letting the ball into the shell itself, it is possible to foresee a fin 5 projecting towards the inside of the shell, suitable for being inserted into a suitable groove present in a corresponding position in the ball, also in this case allowing the perfect positioning of the shell on the ball.
