Description
- The present invention relates to a washing machine with a detergent distributor comprising a drawer movable within a housing provided in the front part of the machine. For front loading washing machines, extractable drawers with a plurality of compartments are commonly known, for example from document
GB-A-1 211 560 DE-A-10 061 155 , into which the user fills the detergent, fabric softener, and bleach. After the drawer is pushed in and the program is started, the machine automatically flushes the detergents into the soap container of the machine at the right time. The guide of this drawer in the corresponding housing or box, into which the drawer is pushed and which is responsible for directing the water into the individual drawer chamber, consists typically of grooves on the left and right side of the box, into which two corresponding ledges of the drawer are slidably inserted. There are also models with a rib in the groove, onto which a corresponding profile of the drawer slides and along which the drawer is inserted into the box. - Due to the large tolerances of the plastic material, the guides in both cases are not without play and it is not possible to prevent the drawer from being wobbly when pulling it out or pushing it in.
- In showrooms for household appliances and the like, customers inspect the products and they touch the appliances, trying the movable operating parts of the appliances. The appliances; and in particular the accessible movable operating elements thereof, are touched. The customers check the quality based on their perception of sturdiness. This perception is an important factor in the purchase decision. It is the perceived quality in the purchase decision.
- As for washing machines, the main elements that can be opened are the door, the detergent drawer, and the filter door, which is why they are opened and touched by the customers. The sturdiness perceived in the inspection is a very important factor for the purchase decision.
- The present invention eliminates the tolerances in the drawer guide and therefore prevents motions that are not in direction of the guide, with a predetermined spring force. The drawer can be moved only against a predetermined small resistance and the user perceives such resistance as sturdiness and therefore as good quality.
- Moreover, the present invention solves the task of preventing the wobbling of the drawer when moving it in and out, allowing the drawer to be pulled out and pushing it easily without the risk of jamming. The drawer, and in particular its guide, give the user a solid, stable, and user-friendly impression. The task is solved according to the attached claims.
- As will become apparent from the following description, the invention can provide a detergent distributor whose drawer is devoid of tolerances in its movement in and out of its'housing, which is therefore more reliable to use.
- The features and advantages of the invention will be more clearly apparent from the following description, given solely by way of non-limiting example, of a preferred embodiment, with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
-
