Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the dispensing of a washing agent in a washing machine, particularly a dishwasher.
  • the invention relates to a dispenser comprising a body in which there is defined a tub-like receptacle, having a mouth and capable of receiving an amount of washing agent, covering means, which comprise first and second cover portions and which are movable with respect to the body, between
  • washing agent dispenser of the type specified above is described in international application WO 2007/116354 A2 , in the name of the applicant.
  • the covering means comprise first and second portions of a single cover made integrally as a single piece, and the crank member is articulated to an intermediate portion of said cover.
  • the general reference number 1 indicates a dispenser according to the invention for dispensing a washing agent, such as a solid, liquid or powder detergent, in a washing machine, particularly a dishwasher.
  • a washing agent such as a solid, liquid or powder detergent
  • the dispenser 1 shown in the attached drawings comprises a body 2 that is operationally fixed, made for example of a moulded plastic.
  • This body is designed to be secured (in a manner known per se and not shown) to the inside surface of the front door of a dishwasher, for example.
  • An essentially tub-like hollow receptacle 3 with a mouth 4 is defined in the body 2.
  • the receptacle 3 can receive an amount of washing agent.
  • the device 1 comprises an articulated cover, indicated with the general reference 5, including two cover portions 5a and 5b.
  • the articulated cover 5 is connected to the body 2 and can move with respect thereto between a position in which the mouth of the receptacle 3 is closed ( Figures 1 and 6 ) and a position in which it is open ( Figures 2 and 8 ).
  • the articulated cover 5 in the embodiment shown is mounted so that it can move between two parallel raised shoulders or banks 2a of the body 2, which include respective guide grooves 6, next to two opposite sides of the mouth 4 of the receptacle 3.
  • the first portion 5a of the cover 5 has, on opposite sides, hinge members 7 ( Figures 4 and 5 ) that slide in the guide grooves 6 of the body 2. Because said hinge members 7 slide in the grooves 6, the portion 5a of the cover 5 can tilt relative to the body 2 about a first axis (the axis of its hinge members 7) which is essentially parallel to the mouth 4 of the receptacle 3, and can move in translation along said guide grooves 6.
  • the second portion 5b is connected to the side of the portion 5a opposite the side from which the hinge members 7 extend, essentially articulated about a second axis, indicated by the reference 9 in Figures 4 and 5 , parallel to the axis of the hinge members 7.
  • the portion 5b of the cover 5 is also articulated to the body 2 about a third axis 10 ( Figures 3-8 ) that is fixed and parallel to the axes 7 and 9 defined above.
  • the fixed axis 10 lies substantially at the same level as the mouth 4 of the receptacle 3 ( Figures 6-8 ).
  • the articulated cover 5 forms a sort of class 1 crank mechanism, or connecting rod/crank system, in which the portion 5b represents the crank member and the portion 5a represents the connecting rod. As the cover 5 goes from the closed to the open position, the portion 5a thereof performs a rotational/translational movement whereas the portion 5b simply rotates.
  • a spring 14 is associated with the portion 5b of the cover 5, said spring tending to make said portion tilt towards the position it assumes when the cover 5 is completely open ( Figure 8 ).
  • said spring 14 is a torsion spring, or helical torsion spring, and is mounted about the axis 10.
  • the retaining device comprises a blocking member 15, fixed to one end of a shaped shaft generally indicated by the reference 16 in Figures 4 and 6 to 8 .
  • the blocking member 15 and the shaft 16 are rotationally mounted in the body 2, about a fixed axis (reference 17 in Figure 4 ) that is orthogonal to the axis 10.
  • a projecting part 5c ( Figure 5 ) on the inside face of the portion 5a of said cover is in end-to-end contact with an end 15a of the blocking member 15, preventing the cover 5 from opening.
  • the blocking member 15 has another end 15b loosely articulated to the end of an arm 16a of a rocker 16 that can rotate about an axis 18, parallel to the axis 17.
  • the rocker 16 has a second arm 16b via which it can interact with a pusher 19 mounted with the possibility of translational movement in a straight guide 20 in the body 2 ( Figures 4 and 5 ).
  • the pusher 19 is associated with a spring 21 that tends to push it into a rest position (shown in Figures 1 and 5 ), in which one end thereof protrudes from the housing or support body 2 of the dispenser.
  • a lever transmission member 22, associated with a spring 23, is coupled to the lower end of the shaft 16 in a torsionally integral manner (see also Figures 6 to 8 ).
  • Said spring 23 is positioned so that it tends to press the assembly formed by the member 22, shaft 16 and blocking member 15 to rotate clockwise (when looking at Figures 4 and 5 ).
  • the arm 16a of the rocker 16 abuts against a stop formation 2d formed in the body 2.
  • a solenoid actuator (generally indicated by 25 in Figures 3 , 4 and 6 to 8 ) is mounted at the rear of the body 2.
  • said actuator comprises a movable core that, under the effect of excitation by the associated solenoid, is operated to impact against the lever member 22, causing it to rotate anti-clockwise (when looking at Figure 4 ), against the action of the spring 23.
  • Rotation of the lever member 22 causes a corresponding rotation of the shaft 16 and blocking member 15, thereby releasing the projecting part 5c ( Figure 5 ) of the portion 5a of the cover 5, enabling the cover to go from the closed position to the completely open position, under the action of the return spring 14.
  • the articulated cover 5 can be closed manually, in particular by bringing the portion 5a of said cover into the position shown in Figures 1 and 6 .
  • the projecting part 5c of said portion 5a of the cover thus comes back into engagement against the projecting part 15a of the blocking member 15, and the cover 5 as a whole is therefore once again kept in the closed position.
  • the articulated cover 5 can easily be opened manually by pressing on the pusher 19 which, like a push-button, acts on the arm 16b of the rocker 16, rotating the latter clockwise (when looking at Figure 5 ), causing the blocking member 15 to rotate anti-clockwise (also when looking at Figure 5 ). This causes the blocking member 15 to release the projecting part 5c of the cover 5 and the cover 5 to return to the completely open position under the action exerted by the return spring 14.
