Definitions

  • the inventor attributes this deficiency to the fact that when the salt container from the dishwasher fills with salt, the water it comes out comes back up in the container and obstructs the flow of salt.
  • the pumped water wetting the grains of salt before entering the tank makes them adhere to each other and to the wall of the recharging device, further disrupting the flow. The rise of this water therefore prevents the proper flow of the grains of salt in the reservoir and ultimately causes a flow blockage which requires shake container, increasing the risk of spillage salt accidental outside the tank. It has been observed that this blockage intervenes more when the grains of salt have a large diameter.
  • the object of the present invention is to remedy these drawbacks by providing a novel device which improves the flow of salt through the salt reservoir of the dishwasher.
  • the invention relates to a device for recharging salt from a dishwasher water softener, including a vertical container closed at its lower part by a removable shutter and an annular body extending this container and designed to fit over the mouth of filling the salt reservoir of the dishwasher, a device which is characterized in that that at least one orifice is drilled through the annular body.
  • the annular body is intended to be connected to the mouth of the dishwasher salt container. It includes minus an orifice. Generally, this opening has the function of allow the water in the tank (and which is driven out during the reloading) to flow freely outside the device without going up in this, which avoids blocking the movement of salt.
  • the device according to the invention has the advantage of being able to use salt coarse-grained, with a diameter greater than or equal to 1 mm.
  • the diameter of the grains of salt is defined by sieving using the TYLER method.
  • the device according to the invention is particularly well suited to salt with a diameter of 1 to 6 mm. The use of large grains reduces the risks of grain entering the annular space between the annular body of the device and the mouth of the salt reservoir of the dishwasher.
  • several orifices are arranged uniformly at the periphery of the annular body, so as to improve the evacuation of the water coming up from the salt reservoir of the dishwasher.
  • the container contains a load of salt and is closed at its part upper as described in document EP 0 947 157 A1.
  • the cover can be removed and replaced, allowing multiple uses of the device. In other variants, this cover is permanently fixed by example by welding or gluing.
  • the device according to the invention can be made of many materials such as aluminum, plastics (e.g. polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene or polypropylene) or cardboard. Plastics or cardboard are however preferred.
  • Figure 1 shows a perspective view of an embodiment particular of the device according to the invention.
  • Figure 2 is a vertical section of the device of Figure 1, provided with a shutter.
  • Figure 3 is a view similar to that of Figure 1, but with partial removal.
  • Figure 4 is a view similar to Figure 2 of an embodiment modified device according to the invention.
  • the device shown in Figures 1 to 3 comprises a vertical container 1 closed at its lower part by a shutter designated as a whole by the reference notation 2 under which it is extended by an annular body 3 intended to be fitted on the mouth 8 of the salt reservoir of the dishwasher and by a hopper 4 located inside the annular body.
  • Shutter 2 is consisting of a plate 9 which slides in a groove formed between the container 1 and the annular body 3. The plate 9 is pierced with an orifice 10 intended to facilitate its handling and a safety tab 11. This tongue blocks the plate 9 in the closed position.
  • Container 1, shutter 2, the annular body 3 and the hopper 4 are made of plastic.
  • the recipient 1 is filled with a mass of salt 5 and is closed at its upper part by a lid 6 welded to container 1.
  • the annular body is pierced with 4 notches 7 at its lower part. These notches have a height H2 greater than the height H1 of the mouth 8 of the dishwasher tank (the latter not being not shown).
  • the length of the hopper is such that its opening outlet 12 is at a height H3 greater than H2. So we have H3> H2> H1.
  • FIG. 4 illustrates a modified embodiment of the device according to the invention.
  • the bending of the device at the level of the shutter 2 has been deleted. Therefore the diameter of the shutter and the angle of convergence of the hopper are larger, allowing better flow of salt.
