Description
PRODUCT STORAGE AND DISPENSING SYSTEM FOR
HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCES
Field of the Invention
The present invention refers to a system for storing and dispensing products in household appliances. More specifically, it refers to an exclusively mechanically operated system for handling detergent products (powder or liquid soaps) in washing machines, integrated with a washing basket, wherein the use of additional electronic components or devices is not required.
Background of the Invention
As widely known, automatic and semi-automatic washing machines require the use of washing products for processing a load of clothes to be cleaned, where the most used products are detergents (powder and liquid soaps) and (conventional or concentrated) liquid fabric softener. Other products, such as, for example, bleaching agents, are eventually also used but as a rule of thumb only the use of detergents and softeners is sufficient to suitably wash fabrics in general.
The majority of the population is also aware of the fact that with the development of technology relative to equipments for washing clothes, solutions have arisen allowing users to dispense products in the equipments prior to the beginning of the washing cycle so that it is no longer necessary that an user follows the washing steps so as to add at specific moments the products to the water which will be used to process the load. Hence, dispensing drawers have been developed which, as disclosed in documents BRPI204383-1 and BRPM 101037-1 , comprise additional washing compartments for the washing compartment and operate with the aid of electrical electronic devices to deliver products at specific moments of the cycle.
Other types of devices for dispensing washing products also comprise elements independent of the basket and are basically hand-operated such as, for example, those described in BRPI1101332-0 and MU9101963-0.
Thus, washing product dispensers known from the state of the art depend on very complex construction process since they require production of reservoirs and their mounting/installation in the equipments, which may lead to
a significant increase in manufacture costs and, consequently, commercialization costs. In the case where dispensers cooperate with electrical electronic elements, such costs are even higher, and manufacture processes more complex.
It should be mentioned that in lower cost equipments, and, therefore, most demanded by a population of low purchasing power, cycles are carried out in which there is no pre-washing, and a washing product can be simply directly delivered on the basket bottom or over the clothes, because same is used/dispensed in the already first filling. Nevertheless, such procedure may stain clothes, in addition to the fact that there is no indication of the correct amount of product which must be used.
Therefore, it is observed that in the present state of the art there is a need for solutions to store and dispense washing products in household appliances, which are automatically operated and at the same time their manufacture and marketing costs are low so that they can be purchased by low purchasing power consumers.
Objects of the Invention
Thus, one object of the present invention is to provide a product storage and dispensing system for household appliances which will not require production and installation of a compartment in addition to those conventionally used in common washing machines.
Therefore, another object of the present invention is to provide a storage and dispensing system for washing products, which is directly incorporated into the washing basket of household appliances.
Still an object of the present invention is to provide a storage and dispensing system for washing products which will be automatically operated without requiring, therefore, the use of any type of electrical electronic components specific for this purpose.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a storage and dispensing system for washing products which can be incorporated into a household appliance and purchased by low purchasing power consumers.
Summary of the Invention
The above mentioned objects are achieved by a product storage and dispensing system for household appliances, more specifically for washing machines comprising a housing containing a fixed tank cooperating with a main basket provided with a balancing device, wherein a moving tower cooperates with the main basket which can alternately cooperating with an additional fixed or movable washing basket.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, said system comprises:

- at least one agitator cooperating with the central cylindrical wall of the washing compartment comprising a body provided with an upper closing platform and circular wall extending in an inclined lower platform form, wherein the outer surface of said agitator comprises equidistant prominences configuring paddles and the inner surface of the inclined lower platform comprises cooperating orthogonal walls having at least one channel.
Said at least one product dispenser can additionally comprise at least one rip on the front wall cooperating with the inner area of the washing compartment to facilitate water flow.
It should be noted that the washing compartment cooperates with at least one product dispenser through at least one among the following forms: solidary joining, engagement, interference, fixing with pressure elements or coupling with any fixation elements.
Said at least one product dispenser also comprises at least one compartment disposed between a substantially convex wall and the rear wall,
wherein said rear wall comprises a rip cooperating with the channel and compartment.
It is worth to mention that said lower orthogonal walls of the agitator comprise turbulence generators in the channel, wherein said means cause, through alternate movement (sometimes clockwise, sometimes anticlockwise movement of the agitator), the water to go up to reach the inner compartment of the product dispenser or to go down through the channel formed between the rear wall of the product dispenser and the washing compartment wall.

The object of the present application will be described in further details and explained on the basis of the accompanied drawings which should be construed as merely exemplificative and not limitative, given that adaptations and modifications can be made without departing from the claimed scope of protection.
The present invention refers to a product storage and dispensing system for household appliances, more specifically intended to store and dispense detergents in soap powder or liquid form in a load of clothes to be washed.
To this effect, said system is to be used in a washing machine 1 such as, for example, the one illustrated in Fig. 6, comprising a substantially parallelepipedal housing 2 having a vertical shaft and an access cover 21 disposed on its upper surface. Said housing 2 comprises, in its interior, a fixed tank 3 cooperating with a main basket 10 provided with a balancing device 11 , wherein a moving tower 4 cooperates with the main basket 10 and with the rotor shaft 5 of the appliance.
The load of clothes to be processed will be inserted in a removable washing compartment 6 (see Figs. 1 to 3), which, in the exemplary embodiments of the invention as illustrated in the appended drawings comprises a basket defined by a substantially cylindrical body provided with a cylindrical central wall 61 that configures a span to couple with the moving tower 4, wherein said washing compartment 6 comprises, in its upper edge, a small peripheral platform 62 which aids supporting the basket on the balancing device 11 , solidary with the main basket 10.
Furthermore, the dispensing system, in accordance with the present invention, can be used in removable washing baskets, in a fixed basket, or directly cooperating with the fixed tank 3 of the household appliance, without departing from the presently claimed scope of protection.
With regard to this aspect, it should be pointed out that the product dispensing device 7 can be solidary with the body of the washing compartment6
or coupled therewith by an engaging/fixing system aided by any elements, without departing from the presently claimed scope of protection.
Said product dispensing device 7 essentially comprises a compartment 70 defined by a substantially convex and tapered front wall 71 defined by a substantial convex and tapered front wall 71 in its lower region, and a rear wall extending up to the next surface of bottom 63 of said washing compartment 6, and ending in a small horizontal platform 73.
An essential feature of the product dispensing device 7 refers to the fact that its rear wall 72 comprises a rip 75 and is away from the outer wall of the washing compartment 6, resulting in a channel 74 through which said rip 75 allows the compartment 70 to receive water flow to dilute the detergent and analogously deliver to the washing are the detergent pre-diluted in water.
The product dispenser 7 of the present invention may optionally comprise, in the front wall 71 , another rip similar to rip 75 to improve the water flow passing through channel 74, crossing the compartment 70 e being dispensed in the inner area of the washing compartment.
Assembly of the product storing and dispensing system in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention further comprises coupling an agitator 8 (see Figs. 7 and 8) with the washing compartment 6 once said agitator 8 comprises a substantially cylindrical body provided with upper closing platform 81 and circular wall 82 which extends as an inclined lower platform 83, wherein the outer surface of the agitator 8 contains equidistant prominences configuring paddles 84 which, during operation of the household appliance, make an alternately clockwise or anticlockwise rotary movement such that they become responsible for moving the washing load.
Furthermore, from the inner surface of the inclined lower platform 83, orthogonal walls protrude, which when rotated in function of the equipment rotor movement generate turbulence in the clothes washing water. It should be clarified that either the inclined lower platform or orthogonal walls 85 cooperate with the horizontal platform 73 of the product disposing device 7, wherein the rotary and alternate movement of the orthogonal walls 85 pushes and eventually also suctions the water flow through the channel 74.
When using the system, before actuating a washing cycle a user must fill the compartment 70 with detergent (soap powder or liquid soap) of his choice. When the user turns on the machine and the washing basket 6 starts being filled by communicating vessels system, water begins to fill channel 74 and when it reaches rip 75 the first dilution of the detergent stored in the compartment 70 occurs. It is worth to mention that after the machine is filled, the water level faces the upper edge of the rip 75, represented by a dashed line, depicted in Figs. 3 and 5.
However, it occurs that only this filling is not sufficient to fully dilute a detergent in compartment 70 such that a residual amount thereof will still remain after the water exits by gravity or inertial centrifugal force. In order to just improve and optimize the use of detergent that the back-and-forth movement of the agitator 8 (and more specifically its orthogonal wall 85) causes turbulence in the water, which is impelled upward (see arrows in Fig. 5) the channel 74, consequently entering the compartment 70 under certain pressure to reach any detergent which still remains therein, thus diluting it. Alternately, instead of impelling water, the opposite movement of the agitator 8 then suctions the fluid through channel 74, thus pulling out water containing the already diluted detergent when water enters the compartment 70 (seed dashed arrows shown in Fig. 5).
It is thus noted that the system of the present invention permits that only the motor rotor movement that causes the equipment to operate is sufficient to the functioning of the product dispensing device 7, thereby merely and simply benefiting from physical laws to generate turbulence and direct the fluid flow through channel 74 connecting the washing area of the basket 6 with compartment 70 which stores the detergent.
Therefore, it can be assured that the object of the present invention practically, efficiently and economically solves the state-of-the-art problems once the use of additional physical and/or electrical electronic component to dispense the washing products during the equipment operation is not required, thus resulting in a system that can be incorporated in any type of equipments without increasing costs and therefore it can be used in low cost equipments
which can also be purchased by the population of low purchasing power.
It should also be pointed out that in the preferred embodiment shown in the accompanying drawings and description above, the present system is used in removable washing compartments 6 but it is worth to mention that same can be used provided that it is immersed in other types of compartments irrespective of their dimensions, capacities or geometrical shapes, without departing from the presently claim scope of protection.
Additionally, attention should be drawn to the fact that in an alternative embodiment of the invention, the product dispensing system 7 can be optionally used in the own main basket 10 without departing from the presently claimed scope of protection.
Furthermore, it should also be emphasized that the description above only intends to describe in a exemplificative form some of the preferred embodiments of the present invention. Therefore, those skilled in the art will understand that many construction modifications, variations and combinations of elements having substantially the same function to achieve the same results will be within the scope of protection as limited by the appended claims.
