Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a washer/dryer that is prevented from being damaged during transportation.
  • the drive group composed of movable components such as the electric motor, the drum and the tub is fastened to the body by elements that attenuate the movements thereof during the spinning and washing steps for preventing the motion to be transmitted to the outer body.
  • the drive group not being rigidly fastened to the body, presents problems during transport, therefore safety means are used that secure the movable components to the body during transport for preventing them from impacts.
  • Usually systems that temporarily secure the drive group to the body for transport safety are used and materials like Styrofoam are placed between the motor under the tub and the base of the body. Washing machines are produced with a closed lower surface to provide sound insulation and waterproofing, in this case the base of the machine has to be dismounted for placing the support elements under the motor and the balance weight.
  • the aim of the present invention is the realization of a washer/dryer that comprises a support means which can be easily mounted, dismounted inside the body thereof.
  • a support means is placed inside the body such that the movable components such as the motor and the tub are prevented from impacting to the body while oscillating during transport and the support means is inserted into the body through a preferably rectangular shaped opening at the base for mounting or dismounting.
  • the support means has the dimensions for passing through the opening and preferably is configured in a rectangular shape, and during transport after inserting through the opening, is placed over the opening by rotating by an angle that prevents coinciding with the opening, approximately at ninety degrees to maintain, for example a plus (+) shape together with the opening.
  • the washer/dryer furthermore comprises a lid that is mounted to the support means from outside the body such that it is aligned with the support means and after the transport operation the same lid is used for closing the opening by changing the transport position, for example by rotating approximately 90 degrees and positioning right over the opening. Sound insulation and waterproofing is provided since the opening is closed by the lid after the transport operation.
  • the support means is placed between the base plate of the body and the motor and is comprised of a buffer and a holder that supports this buffer.
  • the holder is fastened to the lid by means of a rod that extends from the center downwards and passes through the opening.
  • the holder stands on legs over the opening for spreading the load to the sides of the opening and thus to the base.
  • a barrier that surrounds the opening and extends upwards is provided on the base of the body, the water accumulated on the base due to any reason is prevented from leaking out of the opening by means of this barrier.
  • a recess is provided on the lower surface of the holder, that is seated on the barrier when mounted to the body by passing through the opening and maintains the support means to remain stationary.
  • Figure 1 - is the schematic view of a washer/dryer.
  • Figure 2 - is the exploded view of a support means and a lid.
  • Figure 3 - is the perspective view of a support means while inserting through an opening and being placed inside the washer/dryer body.
  • Figure 4 - is the perspective view of a support means seated on the base of the body by rotating after inserting it through the opening.
  • Figure 5 - is the perspective view of a lid in transport position mounted to the base of the body.
  • Figure 6 - is the schematic view of a holder after the transport operation, with the buffer thereon removed and the lid mounted to the base of the body.
  • the washer/dryer (1) comprises a body (2), a drum wherein the laundry is emplaced, a tub (3) in which the drum rotates, a motor (4) secured to the tub (3) that drives the drum and a support means (5) that is emplaced inside the body (2), preferably between the base of the body (2) and the motor (4), such that the movable components like the motor (4) and the tub (3) are prevented from impacting the body (2) by oscillating during transportation and an opening (6) that is formed on the body (2), preferably on the base plate of the body (2) for the support means (5) to be mounted, dismounted inside the body (2).
  • the support means (5) is placed over the opening (6) transversely after inserting through the opening (6) by rotating with an angle such that coinciding with the opening (6) is prevented.
  • the washer/dryer (1) furthermore comprises a lid (7) that is mounted to the support means (5) by seating on the sides of the opening (6) outside the body (2), in alignment with the support means (5).
  • the lid (7) is used to close the opening (6) after the transport operation by changing the position of fastening during the transport.
  • the lid (7) is used for securing the support means (5) to the body (2) during transport as well as increasing the strength by acting as an element of the support means (5) since it is fastened from outside the body (2) in alignment with the support means (5), thus assisting in preventing damage in the event of a fast release to the floor or crashing of the transport vehicle.
  • the lid (7) is furthermore used to close the opening (6) after the transport when the support means (5) is detached; in embodiments wherein the opening (6) is at the base of the body (2), if required, the edges of the lid (7) can be covered with insulation elements such as a gasket, providing silent operation during use and preventing leakage of water to the floor.
  • the support means (5) comprises a buffer (8) that can be mounted, dismounted by passing through the opening (6) for contacting a movable component such as a tub (3), preferably produced of a material such as Styrofoam and a holder (9) that supports the buffer (8), preventing detachment of the buffer (8) during transport, seated on the sides of the opening (6) by turning after inserting through the opening (6), secured to the body (2) by fastening to the lid (7) on the other side of the opening (6) and preferably produced of hard plastic.
  • a buffer (8) that can be mounted, dismounted by passing through the opening (6) for contacting a movable component such as a tub (3), preferably produced of a material such as Styrofoam and a holder (9) that supports the buffer (8), preventing detachment of the buffer (8) during transport, seated on the sides of the opening (6) by turning after inserting through the opening (6), secured to the body (2) by fastening to the lid (7) on the other
  • the support means (5) comprises a receptacle (10) situated on the holder (9) for placing the buffer (8) thereon and preventing sliding out of place during transport, more than one leg (11) to be seated on the sides of the opening (6) and spreading the loads affecting during transport on the sides of the opening (6) and thus to the base of the body (2), a rod (12) that extends from the center downwards, passing through the opening (6) for the lid (7) to be fastened to the holder (9) by an element like a nut.
  • the holder (9) furthermore comprises holes thereon for reducing the weight of the material.
  • the holder (9) has the dimensions suitable for passing through the opening (6), is turned after inserting through the opening (6), and is emplaced such that the legs (11) are seated on the surfaces of the base of the body (2) on the long lateral sides of the opening (6).
  • the holder (9) after passing through the opening (6) with the buffer (8) thereon, is placed by rotating approximately by ninety degrees to form a plus (+) shape together with the opening (6).
  • the lid (7) is mounted from under the base plate of the body (2), beneath the base plate of the body (2) and aligning with the holder (9) such that a plus (+) shape is formed again together with the opening (6) by means of the rod (12) having screw threads thereon.
  • the legs (11) on the sides of the opening (6) apply pressure on the base plate of the body (2), however since the lid (7) is mounted under the base plate of the body (2) in alignment with the holder (9), helps in supporting the load.
  • the support means (5) is removed from the opening (6) by rotating approximately by ninety degrees, after the lid (7) is detached and the lid (7) is mounted on the opening (6) to completely close thereof.
