Definitions

• the invention relates to a dosing store according to the generic feature of claim 1.
• Dosing stores for receiving and dispensing a laundry treatment liquid are known in various configurations. From US-PS 993 001, for example, a metering memory is known, which is filled with a laundry treatment liquid speed is entered into a washing machine. The dosing reservoir is initially closed. In a certain cycle of the washing machine, the spin cycle, it opens due to a weight attached to the closure part. The centrifugal force overcomes the closing force of the cover.
• a metering memory which works on the same principle, is also known from US Pat. No. 3,888,391. Furthermore, a metering memory is known from US Pat. No. 2,941,309, which has non-closable openings.
• the laundry treatment liquid can escape immediately at the beginning of a washing machine cycle or the like.
• the dosing store in question is, for example, water which is added to the laundry for moistening in a dryer in order to set a suitable ironing moisture.
• the known dosing stores are not yet satisfactory in every respect.
• the Open the spin cycle the laundry treatment liquid cannot be added immediately after the start of the laundry treatment.
• metering stores that are always open, it is sometimes found to be unsatisfactory that the laundry treatment liquid can also escape before a laundry treatment cycle has started. If, for example, longer downtimes have preceded it, it is possible for highly concentrated laundry treatment liquid to flow onto laundry items and cause color fading or the like.
• the known metering memory which only opens during a spin cycle, is also designed to be relatively complex.
• the object of the invention is to provide a metering reservoir which is designed to be more advantageous in use and is as simple as possible.
• the dosing reservoir according to the invention is initially closed. But opens immediately at the beginning of a laundry treatment.
• a laundry treatment in particular when the laundry is moistened, there are forces acting on the protrusion to the sealing edge of the outlet opening, which lift the closing part off the sealing edge and allow laundry treatment liquid to escape. Due to the fact that the closing part rests under pretension, such an outflow cannot take place in the event of an unintentional overturning of the metering reservoir when the laundry treatment cycle has not yet started.
• laundry treatment liquid only escapes when the corresponding forces act. The laundry treatment liquid can thus escape successively in smaller quantities.
• Some wash liquor can also immediately penetrate from outside into the metering store, which dilutes the laundry treatment liquid in the metering store and also ensures that the laundry treatment liquid is completely discharged over a certain period of time. Furthermore, the intended one
• the closure part only needs to be gripped by the protrusion and bent up, for example, in order to obtain a sufficient opening for filling in the laundry treatment liquid.
• the closing part is held in the interior of the metering reservoir. This enables, for example, a circumferential, uninterrupted support of the closing part on the sealing edge.
• the closing part is designed as an elastic body. The elasticity of the closing part can thus advantageously be used to form the aforementioned pretension with which the closing part also rests on the sealing edge. In this way, complex hinges or the like can also be eliminated.
• the closing part is designed as a flat body.
• the closing part can be bent upward to open, while at the same time being elastic.
• the result is a functionally advantageous and at the same time material-saving construction.
• a further embodiment provides that the closing part is retracted into the interior of the metering memory by means of a rod anchored in the bottom of the metering device.
• approximately the elasticity of the closing part can advantageously be used to form the pretension with which the closing part rests on the sealing edge. Due to the rod anchored in the floor, not only the elasticity of the closing part but also the elasticity of the floor area of the metering reservoir can be used for this purpose.
• the closing part approximately as a closing disk and central mounting of the closing part, tie Vietnamesesvorteilha t given the possibility of lifting the locking part from the sealing edge in any area, for example for filling.
• opening stress caused by - damp - laundry in the washing machine can lift the closing part off the sealing edge at any point on the circumference.
• the rod is designed to be outstanding for the formation of a handling projection.
• the locking part can be bent back using the elasticity to form the opening gap by using its elasticity.
• a correspondingly elastic rod can act as a joint.

• FIG. 5 shows a plan view of the metering reservoir according to FIG. 1 or FIG. 2;
• the metering reservoir 1 has a closing part 2 that can be opened during the laundry treatment.
• the closing part 2 rests with prestress on a sealing edge 3 of the metering reservoir 1.
• a protrusion 4 of the closing part 2 projects beyond the sealing edge 3.
• the Dosierspei ⁇ cher 1 is circular in cross section.
• the protrusion 4 extends beyond the sealing edge 3 over its entire circumference.
• the closing part 2 is supported by a rod 5 in the bottom 6 of, ⁇ Dosier Boulevards. 1
• the closing part 2 is further designed as a disk-shaped, elastic body. As shown in FIG. 3, for example, the closing part 2 can be bent up to fill in laundry treatment liquid. As indicated by arrow 7, laundry treatment liquid can then be poured in.
• the metering reservoir 1 is then placed in a washing machine in the closed state, as shown in FIG. 1.
• the wobble movement of the metering reservoir 1 in the washing machine results in forces acting on the overhang 4, which the locking part partially or as a whole, as shown in FIG Lift off the sealing edge 3 and open an outlet opening 8.
• the laundry treatment liquid can then flow out into the washing machine and, at the same time, water or wash liquor can also enter the inside of the metering reservoir.
• the closing part 2 is retracted into the interior of the metering reservoir 1, so that overall there is an approximately funnel-shaped configuration of the closing part 2, which here as a disk body trained, results.
• the locking part can be anchored in this position by means of a locking bead 10 and possibly a support ring 11. Due to the elasticity of the closing part 2, the prestress desired for bearing on the sealing edge 3 is obtained automatically. In addition, there is an overhang of the rod 5, which at the same time represents a handling projection.
• FIG. 6 shows how this handling projection can be suitably used for filling the dosing reservoir 1, although the dosing reservoir 1 is gripped, for example, with one hand and bent back with the thumb of the handling projection and, at the same time, the closure part 2 is lifted off the sealing edge 3 can be.
