Abstract
Process for washing clothes in a washing machine, which comprises using a liquid detergent which is released gradually into the washing medium from a special device placed in the drum of the machine at the same time as the clothes instead of being released from the dispenser provided for the detergent on the washing machine. The rechargeable device is a container provided with a filling orifice and with vents for the liquid. The container may be a flat-bottomed sphere or a ring.
Description
The present invention relates to a process for Mashing and cleaning clothes in a Mashing machine with a liquid detergent which is introduced gradually into the washing raediu® from a rechargeable device placed in the drum of the machine together with the clothes to be washed; , the invention also relates to the device for carrying out this process.
Liquid detergent compositions for washing clothes ί are commercially available» They have a variety of advan10 tageous properties compared with the numerous granular detergent compositions, but they have not become as widely used as might have been expected in view of their properties, because they are to some extent unsuitable for use in the majority of washing machines currently on the market» In fact, whether these machines are front loaders with a horizontal rotary drum, or top loaders, the dis= pensers for the measure of detergent used for each washing cycle are generally rather unsuitable for holding liquid detergents and subsequently dispersing them in the washing bath, the majority of the machines currently used by housewives in fact having been designed at a time when only powdered or granular detergents were on the raarketo The applicant Company has found that part of the liquid detergent composition placed in the dispenser of the machine before it is switched on 1s often unable to be used for the wash» In fact, the whole of the washing product is carried away with the first few ml of water Introduced Into the machine, and, in most cases, this water goes directly info filling the emptying circuits of the machine, in which the previous washing operation had only left «ί * very small quantity of water» , When the washing product has entered this circuit, virtually none of if will migrate info the washing bath with which the clothes are impregnated, either during the filling of the machine or during the actual wash, and it $ be eliminated with the first emptying operation» The losses, i»ee the unutilized washing product/ can be substantial, particularly in certain types of washing machine» Λ considerable proportion of the liquid composition placed in the dispenser provided for a solid washing product is not utilized* The magnitude of this loss depends especially on the volume of the emptying circuit upstream of the pump, the water inlet speed and the position of the water inlet point. One can understand that, in a number of cases, a method for washing in a machine using a liquid detergent is more costly than it ought to be, and it is not surprising that the housewife, unaware of the losses incurred, prefers not to use a liquid detergent despite its advantageous properties.
Thus, by making it possible to overcome these unavoidable losses, the present invention is particularly useful.
It relates to an improved process for washing and cleaning clothes in a washing machine of a common type, which comprises using a detergent in the liquid state, the viscosity of which is such that it can flow freely, even at room temperature. In this improved process, the said detergent is released progressively into the washing bath from a device placed in the drum of the machine together with the clothes to be washed, instead of being introduced from the dispenser provided by the washing machine manufacturer for holding the washing product.
According to the Invention there Is provided a process for treating laundry in a washing machine with 30 a liquid product contained in a device which is placed in the drum of the machine,with the laundry to be washed, it being possible for the said device to move freely inside the drum, after which the machine is started and the washing cycle is allowed to run, the treatment being the washing of the laundry, and this washing being performed with a liquid detergent contained in the said device, which has unclosed orifices, the detergent passing progressively into the laundry and the washing liquor as soon as the drum begins to rotate.
The process consists in pouring into an appropriate device a predetermined quantity ~ depending especially on the quantity of clothes to be cashed, the degree of soiling and the capacity of the machine - of a liquid detergent, then placing the device in the drum of the machine together uith the clothes to be uashed, and then switching on and allowing the usual uashing cycle of the machine to proceed; the device containing the washing product will preferably be placed towards the top of the tank, in the drum. Thus, as the drum in the majority of present-day washing machines does not start to rotate until the tank has filled, the device will only start to empty when it is in the presence of a sufficient quantify of water fo prevent prolonged contact of the dry or just da rap clothes with the concentrated detergent» However, if is also possible to place the device af the bottom of the drum, especially in the case where the drua starts to rotate as soon as the water is admitted, or even in the middle of the clothes» The housewife will have no difficulty in choosing the position best suited fo the particular circumstances of her wash» | When spinning has ended, the device is removed from the washing machine together with the clean clothes and put aside for subsequent use» This device, which is another subject of the invention, possesses af least one filling orifice, the dimensions of which are sufficient to enable the washing agent to be introduced easily, irrespective of its viscosity and the shape and mouth of the washing agent container» This orifice is provided with adapted closure means which can be movable and may or may not be fixed to the body of the device, including plugs, caps and the like, or can be a permanent fixture like funnels fixed around the neck of the orifice and entering the device, of which the length and diameter at the inner end are such that a liquid which has entered the device is practically unable fo come out again» Xt can be seen that, in the latter case, the? filling orifice can be Identical to one of the liquid vents with which the device must be provided» The number and shape of these liquid vents are not critical; it 1s possible to have a single vent, two to ten vents or a multitude of very small vents up to about 100; preference is given fo devices provided with two to four vents through which the liquid will be released gradually» The diameter of the vents is generally between 2 mm and 10 mm in the case of the devices which have from 2 to 0 of these» Xt is obvious that, as not all the Liquid vents are generally provided with closure systems, they roust be located above the maximum filling Level of the device; on the other hand, their respective positions are arbitrary» Those skilled in the art will be capable of determining, by means of routine experiments, the number of these vents β as e function of their shep^p their position and the viscosity of the liquid washing agent used, so that the whole of the said agent is discharged into the washing bath in about 1 fo 10 minutes, preferably in about 3 minutes* Sf is obviously necessary fo make allowances for the fact that, for a given device filled with a given washing agent, the emptying time will depend on the diameter of the drum $ of the machine in which if is used, its speed of rotation and even how full of clothes the drum is,, The device can be made of a variety of materials, which must be unbreakable and withstand temperatures up to about 100°Co A large number of synthetic polymers will be suitable, for example low density po lyethylene, poly^* propylene or other elastomers» Xn a preferred embodiment of the invention, the waLls of the device will be made of a transparent material or will have a transparent window so that the housewife can see the level which the liquid has reached in the device during the filling operation, in order fo avoid any in~ advertent overflow* Xn a preferred embodiment, the device carries reference marks indicating the volume of liquid introduced when the reference mark is reached; if will then be possible to use the same device for washing machines of different capacities or to adapt the quantify of washing agent fo the operation which is to be carried out» Furthermore, to eliminate any risk of premature wear on the clothes by rubbing, the device has a smooth outer surface and no sharp corners; its walls are relan tively stiff, however, so that the device is not made difficult to handle when full by the deformation of the walls resulting from the pressure exerted by the fingers gripping the device* Xn a preferred embodiment, the device will have a * sufficiently wide base for It to be perfectly stable and for if not to be knocked over by a clumsy movement, especially while it is being filled with the washing agent* I Means for fixing the device to the drum of the machine, such as suction discs or hooks, are provided in a variant of the device of the Invention» They make It possible to restrict the noise caused by the device rolling in the drum during the washing cycle and the rubbing of the device against the clothes during spinning; in any case,, the device is held against the walls of the drum with the clothes» V? Xn the clothes washing and cleaning process according to the invention, the device described above is fi lled with a liquid detergent with a viscosity which is gen10 ©rally between and 0o4 Pa This comprises the usual components, ieeo st Least one surface-active agent with a liquid vehicle, and, if appropriate, detergency adjuvants (builders), foais regulators, enzymes and enzyme stabilisers bleaching agents, soil suspending agents and textile con15 ditionerSo The liquid detergent compositions used in the washing process of the invention can also contain fluorescent brighteners, perfumes, colourants, opacifiers, antioxidants, bactericides, bulking agents and the like» The surface-active agents present in the compositions used in the process of the invention can be anionic, non-ionic, erapholytic or zwitterionic; wixtures of these can also be used» Examples of these surface-active agents are given in Patent Application EP-A-0,028,865; a cationic surface-active agent can also be added, as in the said patent application, page 5, line 32 to page 7, Line 21» The quantity of surface-active agents present in the liquid compositions is generally between 5« and 701? by weight of the whole, and if generally depends on whether or not defer gency adjuvants are present; if the latter are present, the quantify is smaller» Among the well-known adjuvants, there may be mentioned the alkali metal salts of phosphates and polyphosphates, of nitrilotriacetic acid and of citric 1 acid, or alternatively the synthetic zeolites.» The liquid vehicle of the composition can be wafer, an organic solvent such as aliphatic sonoalcohols and polyalcohols having up to ό carbon atoms and their ethers, or mixtures thereof» Among tho optional compounds in the liquid washing Β conposition, there way be mentioned the well-known sequestering agents such as polyacrylates, polymaleates and copolymers of unsaturated adds and methyl vinyl ether, and also soil suspending agents such as polyvinylpyrrolidone and the sodium salt of carbonymethyLcelLulose, hydrotropic agents such as salts of alkyLaryIsulphonic acids, and foam regulators such as C16 to C22 fatty acids and polysiloxanesr, A IL these compounds can be introduced Into v liquid washing compositions which can be used in the pro cess according to the invention, in variable quantities [ well known to the specialists Polydia IkyLsiloxanes can also be introduced into the Liquid washing compositions for their softening properties» The quantity of liquid washing agent used in the process according to the invention obviously depends on the composition of the agent, the nature and state of the clothes to be uashed and the capacity of the washing machine.
The devices according to the invention can contain from approximately 100 to 400 ml of Liquid and their total infernal volume will be from about 150 ml fo about 500 ml, but it is perfectly possible to design smaller devices for very effective washing agents or Larger devices for washing machines used in service enterprises» Different devices according fo the invention are described below, by way of examples, with reference fo the attached drawings: - Figure 1-1 is a plan view and figure 1-2 is a sectional view along the Line A-A of a device according to the invention, with its plug« - Figure 2 Is a sectional view of a device according fo the invention in the form of a flat-bottomed sphere, with a hinged lid and two liquid vents» θ Figure 5 is a sectional view of a device according to the invention in the form of a ring, with four * liquid vents» The device in Figure 1 has a maximum diameter of 105 mm and a height of 65 wa without the screw plug» The assembly 1 is siade of transparent polyethylene.
