Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a washing machine that comprises a finishing reservoir.
  • the clothes are treated with finishing chemicals by the producers so that the clothes acquire properties such as dirt repellency, water repellency or self cleaning.
  • the finishing process consists of several stages. First of all, the clothes are kept in baths containing finishing chemicals and the clothes are provided to absorb the finishing chemical. After the bathing process, drying process at high temperature is implemented so that the chemicals are provided to adhere to the structure of the clothes. However, as the clothes are washed with detergent, the finishing chemicals are removed from the fibers of the clothes and the properties of the clothes gained by finishing are lost. In order to eliminate this problem, the user places finishing chemical into the detergent partition before or after the washing process and the finishing process is implemented to the clothes so that the laundry acquires these properties again. User intervention is obligatory for this process.
  • the aim of the present invention is the realization of a washing machine wherein access of the user to the finishing reservoir for filling in the finishing chemical is made easier.
  • the washing machine realized in order to attain the aim of the present invention, explicated in the first claim and the respective claims thereof, comprises a finishing reservoir that is used for the finishing process.
  • the finishing chemical is filled by accessing the finishing reservoir from the opening where the dispenser, containing washing agents therein, is mounted.
  • the finishing reservoir of the present invention comprises at least one filling orifice situated at a distance accessible by the user inwards through the opening, that enables placing of the finishing chemical therein.
  • the finishing reservoir of the present invention comprises at least two partitions that enable different finishing chemicals to be contained therein without mixing with one another.
  • the washing machine comprises at least one pump that enables delivery of the finishing chemical from the finishing reservoir by pumping out and at least one valve that enables the controlling of the delivery of the finishing chemical from the finishing reservoir.
  • the washing machine comprises at least one delivery line that extends between the finishing reservoir and the tub and the valve that is disposed on the delivery line.
  • the washing machine comprises at least one detergent chamber disposed on the dispenser and at least one supply line situated between the finishing reservoir and the dispenser.
  • the finishing reservoir is integrated with the housing of the detergent dispenser.
  • the finishing reservoir is produced as a single piece with the housing wherein the detergent dispenser is fitted or is mounted at the lower side of the housing so as to extend into the filling orifice or into the housing.
  • the portion of the dispenser front panel closing the finishing reservoir opening is transparent or semi-transparent and the light giving "finishing chemical” warning is provided to be reflected out from the front panel.
  • the washing machine comprises a finishing button that provides the finishing process to start automatically in the rinsing step when pressed by the user.
  • the washing machine comprises at least one sensor that detects the presence and/or amount of the finishing chemical in the finishing reservoir.
  • the washing machine comprises at least one alerter that provides the user to be warned visually or audibly when the finishing chemical is finished.
  • the finishing reservoir can be accessed from the opening whereto the dispenser is mounted and ease of utilization is provided for the user in the process of adding the finishing chemical.
  • Figure 1 – is the perspective view of a washing machine in the position that the dispenser, wherein detergent is placed, is pulled out.
  • Figure 2 – is the schematic view of a washing machine.
  • Figure 3 – is the top schematic view of a dispenser pulled out of the washing machine, a housing and a finishing reservoir in an embodiment of the present invention.

  • Figure 5 — is the top schematic view of a dispenser pulled out from the washing machine, a housing and a finishing reservoir in an embodiment of the present invention.
  • the washing machine (1) of the present invention comprises a body (2), a tub (12) wherein the washing process is performed, a dispenser (3) wherein cleaning agents like detergent and softener are placed, a housing (4) disposed at the upper side of the body (2), wherein the dispenser (3) is mounted and an opening (5) located on the body (2), through which the dispenser (3) is mounted to/dismounted from the housing (4).
  • the washing machine (1) of the present invention comprises a finishing reservoir (6) wherein the finishing chemical is loaded by accessing from the opening (5) ( Figure 1).
  • the finishing reservoir (6) comprises a filling orifice (7) which is seen from the opening (5) when the dispenser (3) is pulled out partially or entirely from the opening (5) and that is positioned inside the housing (4) inwards through the opening (5), at a distance accessible by the user.
  • the user pulls out the dispenser (3) from the opening (5) in the body (2) when finishing chemical is required to be added into the finishing reservoir (6).
  • the dispenser (3) is pulled outwards partially or entirely, the filling orifice (7) disposed on the finishing reservoir (6) that is integrated with the housing (4) can be seen and is accessible from outside the opening (5).
  • the finishing reservoir (6) of the present invention comprises at least two partitions (8) that enable different finishing chemicals to be contained therein without mixing with one another. Different finishing chemicals used for different finishing processes like water repellency, dirt repellency, or self cleaning etc are stored in the finishing reservoir (6) without mixing with one another ( Figure 5).
  • the washing machine (1) of the present invention comprises at least one pump (10) that enables delivery of the finishing chemical by pumping out from the finishing reservoir (6) and at least one valve (11) that enables the controlling of the delivery of the finishing chemical from the finishing reservoir (6) to the dispenser (3) or the tub (12) ( Figure 2).
  • the washing machine (1) comprises at least one delivery line (13) that extends between the finishing reservoir (6) and the tub (12) and the valve (11) that is disposed on the delivery line (13).
  • the finishing chemical sucked from the finishing reservoir (6) by means of the pump (10) passes to the delivery line (13) by the directing of the valve (11) and is delivered into the tub (12).
  • Implementing the finishing process to clean laundry after the washing step provides the finishing chemical to adhere to the laundry in an effective manner ( Figure 2, Figure 4).
  • the washing machine (1) comprises at least one detergent chamber (14) disposed on the dispenser (3) and at least one supply line (15) situated between the finishing reservoir (6) and the dispenser (3). Delivery of the finishing chemical from the finishing reservoir (6) to the tub (12) and/or to the dispenser (3) is controlled by means of the valve (11) ( Figure 2).
  • the supply line (15) is connected to the detergent chamber (14) wherein cleaning agent is placed for the aim of performing the pre-washing.
  • the finishing chemical is delivered to the detergent chamber (14) by means of the supply line (15) after the rinsing step. Water is sent to the detergent chamber (14) in order to flush the finishing chemical contained in the detergent chamber (14).
