Abstract

The substantially spherical device incorporates a body (41) and a cover-assembly (42). The latter has vents (47) and can be screwed onto the body (41). In use, with the cover (42) removed, the body (41) is filled through the opening (44) with liquid detergent up to the chosen level A or B. The cover (42) is then fixed and then the device is introduced into the drum of the machine where the linen is already present. During washing, the detergent is gradually distributed outwards by passing through the vents (47). A flat portion (43) opposite opening (44) facilitates filling the device. <IMAGE>

The inventors have found that when a liquid detergent product is placed in the built-in dispenser of many washing machines, a portion of the detergent product is carried away with the first amount of water introduced into the washing machine and the washing machine drain line is I found that I would proceed. Such parts will remain unused and will be discarded from the washing machine in the first operation. This wastefully wastes the detergent product, and the resulting costs create an unwanted reaction on the part of the user regarding the liquid detergent. It is therefore desirable to avoid such wasteful waste and to provide a device that will gradually dispense liquid detergent into the wash water.

One feature of the invention is that the device is substantially spherical. The device is therefore ball-shaped. Such balls are extremely easy to handle and place in the drum of the washing machine. After placing the laundry in the washing machine, it is sufficient to place the ball on the laundry. During the washing operation,
The detergent liquid held in the bowl is gradually and evenly distributed and diffused in the washing liquid. At the end of the wash cycle, the balls are completely clean and separated from the water and detergent solution.
In fact, no liquid remains. Without wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that this beneficial effect is due to the removal of all liquid in the ball as a result of the centrifugal forces acting on the moving ball as the drum rotates. .

Surprisingly, it has been discovered that using the apparatus of the present invention, a significant performance improvement is seen in laundering laundry in a washing machine. Such improvements are particularly noticeable in washing machines having a physical loss system that results in detergent loss. Such improvements are often noticeable even in washing machines that do not include physical loss systems, such as program systems. This is due to the fact that the balls placed in the laundry meteredly deliver the detergent liquid into the laundry in a metered manner. It has been discovered that such delivery is generally effective for laundry efficiency.

The device described above is used as follows. First, from the center opening 24 of the funnel-shaped recessed wall that is the filling orifice to the main body 21
Fill the detergent solution to the required level. Alternatively, the cover 22 can be removed and the body 21 can be filled with the detergent liquid. In that case, the cover 22 is fixed to the main body 21 when the filling operation is completed. Then place the laundry in the drum of the washing machine. So, a ball 20 filled with detergent liquid
Is placed in or on the laundry in the drum. During operation of the washing machine, the detergent liquid held in the balls 20 is evenly or gradually distributed through the drain holes of the cover 22. That is, during operation of the washing machine, mixing and discharging of the filled detergent solution and the entering detergent solution are repeated to distribute the detergent solution. In this way a very satisfactory washing and cleaning of the laundry is carried out.

For example, in any of the embodiments shown above, the balls can be pre-filled with the detergent liquid and sold. The sales form in this case contains a test amount of detergent liquid. In that case, it would be appropriate to provide a device with closed drainage holes for delivering detergent liquid during washing. This closure means
A tear film cap can be used, or other means of rapidly tearing to open the drain hole. It is also possible that the possible shapes are nipples, each engaged in a drainage hole, and simultaneously and separately can be removed by one or more tear strips. There are forms of these provisions, but in any case used for washing / cleaning laundry in the washing machine, the device being placed in the drum of the washing machine containing the laundry And the detergent liquid in the device is gradually distributed between the washing liquid and the laundry therein.

As is clear from the above, the wall of the funnel-shaped reentrant formed in the attachment assembly that covers the opening of the main body of the device according to the present invention is a thin wall formed by projecting inward of the main body. It consists of an inner part consisting of a tubular part of diameter and an outer peripheral part whose diameter or outer circumference gradually increases above it. In one embodiment, the distal end of the inner portion is open (eg, Figure 2). In another embodiment, it is closed (for example, the third
Figure). When it is open, its distal end serves as a filling orifice, and when it is closed, several openings are provided in the side wall of its inner portion to form a filling orifice. The drainage holes are formed adjacent to the outer periphery of the outer peripheral portion of the recessed wall and are spaced apart from each other.

According to the present invention, since the funnel-shaped recessed wall is provided in the additional assembly and the filling orifice is provided in the inner portion thereof, the operation of filling the main body with the detergent solution is easy and quick, and the inside of the main body is filled. Leakage of the contained detergent liquid from the portion can be slowed down. Also, during washing, the washing machine water, that is, the washing liquid, can easily enter through the filling orifice. On the other hand, since the drainage hole is formed around the outer periphery of the recessed wall, the detergent liquid can be gradually and evenly distributed into the washing machine through the portion. Furthermore, when the water of the washing machine enters through the filling orifice as described above, the internal air is efficiently released from the drain hole, which promotes the inflow and outflow of water into the device, and as a result, the drain hole This has the effect that the detergent solution is gradually and appropriately distributed.
