Definitions

a dispensing device of the same kind is known from the document EP-A-213.385, whereby appropriate conduits are provided in the door for feeding water coming from the water mains to distinct compartments of the washing agents, and a nozzle for the inlet of water to such conduits, movable under the control of the machine.
Such solution also, even though better than the other, has the risk of blockage and it is however shown to be complicated and expensive for obtaining a satisfying removal of the various washing agents.
the geometry of the superior part of the laundry washing machine has been chosen so as to allow its use for the simple gathering of dirty laundry; in particular the size of the element 11 and the flaps 8 and 9 (such flaps are of different lengths), the disposition of the loading aperture 4 and that of the seal 10, are chosen so as to allow the closure of the door 2 even when the opening/closure flaps 8 and 9 of the basket 7 are raised (as can be seen from the dotted lines of figure 4); such measure therefore allows, when the machine is off, to introduce to the basket, over time, the laundry to be washed, without having to always leave the door 2 open, or without the necessity of having to open the door 2 and the flaps 8 and 9 every time.
the door 2 is vertically open. In such position, the dispenser 12 is facing upwards, with the small flap 14 open, so as that the compartment 13 for containing the detergent, also facing upwards, can be easily filled by the user, in the sense indicated with the arrow A.
