Definitions

  • This invention relates to a latch mechanism for a washing machine such as a dishwashing machine, and more particularly, to a latch mechanism for retaining the door of a front loading type dishwashing machine and for compressing a resilient seal spaced between the door and the tank defining the cleansing chamber to prevent the escape of steam and the cleansing spray.
  • the present invention is directed to a latch mechanism for a front loading dishwashing machine having a door operable between a vertical closed position and a horizontal open position.
  • a resilient seal strip formed from a rubber or vinyl material is fastened around either the inside of the door or the forward portion of the tank and is adapted to be compressed upon closing of the door to seal the door tightly with the tank for preventing the escape of steam produced by the hot water employed and the cleansing liquid which is sprayed throughout the chamber during the operation of the machine.
  • a latch for locking the door to the tank which is actuated by natural movements of the hand and which will also draw the door tightly against the tank to compress the resilient seal in response to a relative light manual force applied to the handle of the latch. Furthermore, it has been found desirable to provide a latch mechanism having a step actuation whereby the first movement in unlocking the latch is operable to actuate a switch to open the electrical circuits leading to the motors for the timer and the power spray system, but does not permit the door to be opened until a further movement of the latch mechanism is made.
  • one primary object of the present invention is to provide a novel latch for a dishwashing machine wherein the latch is opened by the natural operation of lifting a projecting handle, but if an excessive force is employed on the handle it would not open the door and break the liquid tight seal but instead, would tend to hold the door closed.
  • the present invention provides a latch mechanism as described above, wherein the closing of the latch can be accomplished by substantially a constant force acting downwardly on the projecting handle which produces an increasing clamping force between the an open position wherein the latch disengages to permit opening of the door.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a latch for a front loading dishwashing machine, as described above, wherein the latch mechanism is adapted to be fitted to the door as a subassembly thus providing for convenient and economical assembly of the latch.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a front loading type dishwashing machine which is provided with a latch mechanism constructed in accordance with the invention
  • FIG. 2 is an enlarged elevational sectional view of the latch mechanism mounted within the dishwasher door and showing the latch mechanism as viewed along the line 2-2 of FIG. 6, in the locked position whereby the resilient seal is compressed to form a liquid tight seal between the door and the tank;
  • FIG. 3 is another enlarged elevational section view of the latch mechanism employed on the machine of FIG. 1 and showing the latch mechanism in the neutral or intermediate position;
  • FIGURE 4 is a third enlarged elevational section view of the latch mechanism formed according to the invention and showing the mechanism in the open position with the door slightly open;
  • FIG. 5 is an exploded view of the latch mechanism illustrating the assembled relationship of the components.
  • FIG. 6 is a rear elevational view of the latch mechanism according to the invention.
  • FIG. 1 shows a front loading type dishwashing machine including generally, a cabinet 10 having a top 12 and front lower panel 13. Access to the dishwasher is provided by the door 14 which is suitably hinged at the bottom to permit the door to move from the vertical closed position shown in FIG. 1 to a horizontal open position.
  • the latch 15 according to the present invention is supported within the door by a frame member 17 (FIG. 2) connected to the inner door panel 19 at the top center portion of the door, as shown in FIG. 1.
  • the T-shaped handle 22 projects outwardly through an opening formed in the decorative trim plate 35 extending across the upper portion of the door 14.
  • the handle portion 20 is adapted to pivot about the pin 32 from the downwardly extending closed position (FIG. 2) to an outwardly extending neutral position (FIG.
  • a rocker member 38 Pivotally mounted to the bracket 30 directly above the handle portion 20 is a rocker member 38 which is retained by the pin 40 extending through the holes 41 (FIG. 5) formed within the sides 43 and 44 of the support bracket 30.
  • a roller 46 which is supported by the pin 48 extending through the opening 49 formed within the cam member.
  • the rollers 46 are adapted to engage the pair of curved cam surfaces 52 formed along the underneath side of the rocker member 38 causing the rocker member to pivot about the pin 40.
  • Extending from the top portion of the rocker member 38 are a pair of cars 55 (FIG. having aligned openings 56. which are adapted to pivotally support a catch member 58 having ears 59 defining aligned openings 62.
  • the ears 59 of the catch member 58 are mounted between the ears 55 of the rocker member 38 and are adapted to receive the pin 64.
  • a torsion spring 66 (FIG. 2) is mounted on the pin 40 and serves to bias the rocker member 38 in a clockwise direction so that when the latch mechanism is in a neutral position, the tabs 69 (FIG. 5) extending from the rocker member 38, are adapted to engage the edges 71 of the support bracket 30 to provide a stop against further clockwise rotation of the rocker member 38.
  • the ends 73 of the torsion spring 66 are retained within the notches 74 formed in the underneath edge of the tabs 75 extending inwardly from the sides 43 and 44 of the support bracket 30.
  • the coil type torsion spring 77 (FIG. 2) mounted on the pin 64 and between the ears 59 (FIG. 5) of the catch member 58, serves to bias the catch member 58 in an upward counterclockwise direction causing the engaging portion 80 to extend through the opening 82 formed within the top edge portion 83 of the inner door panel 19.
  • the leading cam surface 85 (FIG. 3) of the catch member 58 extends through the opening 82 and engages the rounded forward edge 87 of the cleansing tank 89 causing the catch member 58 to pivot downwardly or clockwise.
  • the projecting portion 80 of the catch member snaps upwardly through the strike opening 90 for-med within the top forward portion of the tank 89. As shown in FIG.
  • the opening 90 in the tank 89 and the catch member 58 are so spaced that at the position of the door when the portion 80 snaps into the opening 90, the resilient seal 93 which is fastened around the edge of the inner panel 19 by a series of screws 95 extending through a clamping plate 96, touches the seat portion 181) of the tank 89.
  • the handle 22 is pushed downwardly thereby rotating the handle member counterclockwise causing the rollers 46 to engage the cam'surfaces 52 and thereby rotate the rocker member 38 in a counterclockwise direction.
  • the rocker member 3 8 carries with it the catch member 58.
  • the catch member 58 remains substantially stationary and the rocker member 38 pivots about the pin 64 causing the door 14 to move towards the tank 89 as a result of the connection between the-rocker member 38 and the support bracket by the pin 40.
  • the rollers 46 are adapted to pass slightly over center on the curved cam surface 52 whereby the clockwise torque on the rocker member 38 produced by the spring 66 and the pull on the catch member 58 produces a counterclockwise torque on the handle member 20.
  • the rollers 46 pass back over center whereby the torsion spring 66 forces the handle member 20 in a clockwise direction until the tabs 69 (FIG. 5) extending from the rocker member 38 engage the edge portion 71 of the support bracket 30.
  • the counterclockwise torque produced by the weight of the handle 22 is sufficient to retain the handle portion 20 in the position shown in FIG. 3.
  • the handle 22 When it is desired to open the door 14 of the dishwashing machine, the handle 22 is lifted causing the handle member 20 to rotate clockwise from the neutral position of FIG. 3 to the position shown in FIG. 4 until the surface 104 of the cam member 24 (FIG. 4) engages the support bracket 30 to form a stop.
  • the center portion of the pin 48 engages the finger 106 extending from the link member 108 having an upper portion 189 which extends through a slot 111 formed within the catch member 58 and is connected thereto by the pin 113.
  • the lower portion 115 of the link member 108 is guided within a groove 117 (FIG. 5) formed within the cam member 24 and also by the pin 118 extending through the slot 119 formed within the lower portion of the link member 108.
  • the link member 108 rotates the catch member 58 clockwise to disengage the projecting portion from the opening formed within the tank 89.
  • the handle member 20 rotates counterclockwise back to its neutral position shown in FIG. 3. This is caused both by the weight of the handle 22 assisted by the upward force on the finger 106 caused by the relatively light counterclockwise torque on the catch member 58 produced by the torsion spring 77.
  • a lever 120 is rigidly mounted to the end of the pin 32 which, in turn, is secured by a suitable pin 121 (FIG. 6) to the cam member 24 for rotation therewith.
  • a suitable pin 121 FIG. 6
  • the lever 120 rotates with the handle member 20.
  • the end of the lever 120 is connected to the cancel bar 122 of a push button control switch, schematically illustrated at 123, which is also mounted within the door 14 having an exposed push button (FIG. 1).
  • the latch mechanism provides several advantages. For example, if the operator inadvertently lifts the handle 22 from the locked position of FIG. 2 directly to the completely unlocked position of FIG. 4, the upward force on the handle 22 tends to urge the door 14 closed rather than opening the door. As a result, the operator is unlikely to break the contact between the resilient seal 93 and the seat portion before the spray system stops. By natural operation of the latch, however, only a light upward force will normally be applied to the handle 22 which causes the rollers 46 to pass over center and the handle member 20 to be rotated to the neutral position of FIG. 3.
  • latch Another important advantage of the latch is the relatively light downward force required on the handle 22 to close the door 14 until the seal '93 is compressed at all places where it is in contact with the seat portion 100. This results from the increasing leverage which is produced when the handle 22 is pushed downwardly until the rollers 46 pass across the center of the cam surfaces 52 formed on the rocker member 38. Also, by mounting the latch in the top center of the door 14, the pull exerted by the latch member 58 between the door 14 and the tank 89, results in a substantially uniform compression of the resilient seal 93 extending between the door 14 and the seat portion 100 of the tank 89.
  • a latch mechanism for a washing machine having a cleansing tank and a door operable between a vertical closed position and a horizontal open position and having a resilient seal adapted to be compressed between the door in the closed position and the tank for preventing the escape of the cleansing spray
  • said latch mechanism comprising, a support bracket adapted to be mounted on the door, a rocker member pivotally mounted on said support bracket, a catch member adapted to project from the top edge of the door to engage strike means connected to the tank, means for pivotally mounting said catch member to said rocker member a predetermined distance from the pivotal axis of said rocker member, a handle member pivotally mounted on said support bracket and having a portion adapted to extend outwardly from the front side of said door and adapted to be moved manually in a generally vertical direction causing said handle member to rotate between a locked position and an open position, spring means for biasing said rocker member to said neutral position, cam means associated with said handle member for pivoting said rocker member by applying an increasing torque to said rocker member in response to a substantially
