Description
- The present invention relates to the dispensing of a washing agent in a washing machine, particularly a dishwasher.
- More specifically, the invention relates to a dispenser comprising
-
- a body in which there is defined a tub-like receptacle, having a mouth and capable of receiving an amount of washing agent,
- covering means, which comprise first and second cover portions and which are movable with respect to the body, between
- a closed position in which the first cover portion covers the receptacle and the second cover portion covers a portion of the body adjacent to the receptacle, and
- an open position in which the first cover portion uncovers and opens the receptacle;
- the first cover portion being articulated to the body about a first axis which is essentially parallel to the mouth of the receptacle, and can move in translation along guide means provided in the body, and being connected to a crank member in an essentially articulated manner about a second axis parallel to said first axis, the crank member being in turn articulated to the body about a third axis which is parallel to said first and second axes.
- A washing agent dispenser of the type specified above is described in international application WO 2007/116354 A2, in the name of the applicant.
- In this prior art dispenser, the covering means comprise first and second portions of a single cover made integrally as a single piece, and the crank member is articulated to an intermediate portion of said cover. The result of this arrangement is that, when open, said single cover protrudes considerably from the contour of the body of the dispenser.
- It is an aim of this invention to provide an improved dispenser, in particular improved in the sense that the covering means take up less space when open.
- This and other aims are achieved according to the invention with a dispenser of the type described above, characterized in that the abovementioned second cover portion is articulated to the first cover portion about said second axis, and is articulated to the body about said third axis, and forms said crank member.
- Further features and advantages of the invention will be obvious from the following detailed description, provided by way of non-limiting example, which refers to the attached drawings, in which:
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a dispenser according to the invention, when closed; -
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the dispenser according toFIG. 1 , shown in the open position; -
FIG. 3 is a perspective view from the rear of the dispenser according toFIGS. 1 and 2 ; -
FIG. 4 is an exploded perspective view of the dispenser according to the preceding figures; -
FIG. 5 shows a section essentially along the line V-V ofFIG. 1 ; -
FIG. 6 shows a cross section essentially along the line VI-VI ofFIG. 5 ; -
FIGS. 7 and 8 are views similar to that shown inFIG. 6 , showing the dispenser with the covering means thereof in two different positions. - In the drawings, the
general reference number 1 indicates a dispenser according to the invention for dispensing a washing agent, such as a solid, liquid or powder detergent, in a washing machine, particularly a dishwasher. - The
dispenser 1 shown in the attached drawings comprises abody 2 that is operationally fixed, made for example of a moulded plastic. This body is designed to be secured (in a manner known per se and not shown) to the inside surface of the front door of a dishwasher, for example. - An essentially tub-like
hollow receptacle 3 with amouth 4 is defined in thebody 2. Thereceptacle 3 can receive an amount of washing agent. - The
device 1 comprises an articulated cover, indicated with thegeneral reference 5, including twocover portions - The articulated
cover 5 is connected to thebody 2 and can move with respect thereto between a position in which the mouth of thereceptacle 3 is closed (FIGS. 1 and 6 ) and a position in which it is open (FIGS. 2 and 8 ). - The articulated
cover 5 in the embodiment shown is mounted so that it can move between two parallel raised shoulders orbanks 2 a of thebody 2, which includerespective guide grooves 6, next to two opposite sides of themouth 4 of thereceptacle 3. - The
first portion 5 a of thecover 5 has, on opposite sides, hinge members 7 (FIGS. 4 and 5 ) that slide in theguide grooves 6 of thebody 2. Because said hinge members 7 slide in thegrooves 6, theportion 5 a of thecover 5 can tilt relative to thebody 2 about a first axis (the axis of its hinge members 7) which is essentially parallel to themouth 4 of thereceptacle 3, and can move in translation along saidguide grooves 6. - The
second portion 5 b is connected to the side of theportion 5 a opposite the side from which the hinge members 7 extend, essentially articulated about a second axis, indicated by thereference 9 inFIGS. 4 and 5 , parallel to the axis of the hinge members 7. - The
portion 5 b of thecover 5 is also articulated to thebody 2 about a third axis 10 (FIGS. 3-8 ) that is fixed and parallel to theaxes 7 and 9 defined above. - In the embodiment shown, the
fixed axis 10 lies substantially at the same level as themouth 4 of the receptacle 3 (FIGS. 6-8 ). - The sequence of
FIGS. 6 to 8 shows the path followed by the articulatedcover 5 as it moves from the closed position into the completely open position. - Looking at
FIG. 6 for example, it can be seen in the embodiment shown that when thearticulated cover 5 is closed, thefirst portion 5 a thereof covers thereceptacle 3, sealing it closed by virtue of the interaction between aseal 8 and the edge of themouth 4 of said receptacle. Moreover, when thecover 5 is closed thesecond portion 5 b thereof covers a part of thebody 2 adjacent to thereceptacle 3. - With reference to
FIG. 8 , when thearticulated cover 5 is completely open, thefirst portion 5 a thereof uncovers and opens thereceptacle 4, and instead covers the portion of thebody 2 adjacent to said receptacle. - Overall, the articulated
cover 5 forms a sort ofclass 1 crank mechanism, or connecting rod/crank system, in which theportion 5 b represents the crank member and theportion 5 a represents the connecting rod. As thecover 5 goes from the closed to the open position, theportion 5 a thereof performs a rotational/translational movement whereas theportion 5 b simply rotates. - With reference to
FIGS. 4 , 5 and 8, aspring 14 is associated with theportion 5 b of thecover 5, said spring tending to make said portion tilt towards the position it assumes when thecover 5 is completely open (FIG. 8 ). In the example shown, saidspring 14 is a torsion spring, or helical torsion spring, and is mounted about theaxis 10. - When the articulated
cover 5 is closed (FIGS. 1 , 5 and 6), a retaining device holds it in this position, against the action of thereturn spring 14 that would tend to push it into the completely open position. - In the exemplary embodiment shown, the retaining device comprises a blocking
member 15, fixed to one end of a shaped shaft generally indicated by thereference 16 inFIGS. 4 and 6 to 8. - With reference to
FIGS. 4 and 5 , the blockingmember 15 and theshaft 16 are rotationally mounted in thebody 2, about a fixed axis (reference 17 inFIG. 4 ) that is orthogonal to theaxis 10. - With the
cover 5 in the closed position, a projectingpart 5 c (FIG. 5 ) on the inside face of theportion 5 a of said cover is in end-to-end contact with anend 15 a of the blockingmember 15, preventing thecover 5 from opening. - The blocking
member 15 has anotherend 15 b loosely articulated to the end of anarm 16 a of arocker 16 that can rotate about anaxis 18, parallel to theaxis 17. - The
rocker 16 has asecond arm 16 b via which it can interact with apusher 19 mounted with the possibility of translational movement in astraight guide 20 in the body 2 (FIGS. 4 and 5 ). - The
pusher 19 is associated with aspring 21 that tends to push it into a rest position (shown inFIGS. 1 and 5 ), in which one end thereof protrudes from the housing orsupport body 2 of the dispenser. - With reference to
FIG. 4 , alever transmission member 22, associated with aspring 23, is coupled to the lower end of theshaft 16 in a torsionally integral manner (see alsoFIGS. 6 to 8 ). Saidspring 23 is positioned so that it tends to press the assembly formed by themember 22,shaft 16 and blockingmember 15 to rotate clockwise (when looking atFIGS. 4 and 5 ). Under the effect of the spring 23 (FIG. 5 ), thearm 16 a of therocker 16 abuts against astop formation 2 d formed in thebody 2. - A solenoid actuator (generally indicated by 25 in
FIGS. 3 , 4 and 6 to 8) is mounted at the rear of thebody 2. As known per se, said actuator comprises a movable core that, under the effect of excitation by the associated solenoid, is operated to impact against thelever member 22, causing it to rotate anti-clockwise (when looking atFIG. 4 ), against the action of thespring 23. Rotation of thelever member 22 causes a corresponding rotation of theshaft 16 and blockingmember 15, thereby releasing the projectingpart 5 c (FIG. 5 ) of theportion 5 a of thecover 5, enabling the cover to go from the closed position to the completely open position, under the action of thereturn spring 14. - After a washing cycle, the articulated
cover 5 can be closed manually, in particular by bringing theportion 5 a of said cover into the position shown inFIGS. 1 and 6 . The projectingpart 5 c of saidportion 5 a of the cover thus comes back into engagement against the projectingpart 15 a of the blockingmember 15, and thecover 5 as a whole is therefore once again kept in the closed position. - The articulated
cover 5 can easily be opened manually by pressing on thepusher 19 which, like a push-button, acts on thearm 16 b of therocker 16, rotating the latter clockwise (when looking atFIG. 5 ), causing the blockingmember 15 to rotate anti-clockwise (also when looking atFIG. 5 ). This causes the blockingmember 15 to release the projectingpart 5 c of thecover 5 and thecover 5 to return to the completely open position under the action exerted by thereturn spring 14. - Naturally, without prejudice to the principle of the invention, the forms of implementation and details of embodiments may vary widely from what has been described and illustrated herein purely by way of non-limiting example, without exceeding the scope of the invention as defined in the attached claims.
