Definitions

  • FIG. 1 shows a sectional view, along a plane perpendicular to the drum axis, of a deflector according to the invention.
  • a deflector 11 is located whose surface which faces the drum is defined by a generatrix lying in a plane that passes through and is rotated about the axis of rotation of the drum, the path of the generatrix being determined by a directrix located in a median plane perpendicular to said axis. The radius of curvature of the directrix relative to said axis decreases in the direction of rotation of the drum during spin-drying.
  • the deflector in said preferred embodiment, consists of a flat central part, represented in cross-section by 13, which is bounded at three of its four sides by ridges l4, l and 16 which make an obtuse angle with the flat part, whilst the highest ridge 14 is provided at a small side parallel to the drum axis which is situated last viewed in the direction of rotation of the drum during spin-drying, the heights of the edges and 16 increasing from 0 at the hinge 10 to the height of the ridge 14 at the side opposite the hinge 10.
  • the ridges are enclosed by walls whose edges engage with the door 9.
  • the walls which adjoin the ridges l5 and 16 are perpendicular to the surface of the door 9, while the wall which adjoins the ridge 14 makes an angle with the surface of said door 9.
  • a sort of grille 27 which permits the water which may rise along the walls during spin-drying, to penetrate the deflector and to leave through an end surface apertures 28 in the wall connected to the surface 26 at the position for which the distance of the directrix to the drum axis is minimal.
  • the lower part of said apertures is level with the inner surface of the deflector 26.
  • the deflector may consists of a sheet of a stainless metallic material or of a profile of a plastic material, in which case the door and the deflector can be made of a single piece.
