Definitions

  • FIG. 1 shows in schematic perspective a detergent dispenser for home washing appliances, comprising a magazine with ball-shaped bodies of detergent.
  • the magnet coil 11 When an electric switch 12, forming part of the automatic program controller of the washing appliance is closed, the magnet coil 11 is energized and pulls the armature 13 to the right, as indicated by an arrow 13a, in opposition to the force of the spring 14, thereby pushing a single tablet from the magazine through an opening 17 into the washer space enclosed by the sheet metal housing 17a of the appliance, the opening 17 being normally closed by a sufiiciently sealed lid 15. Thereafter the magnet coil 11 is de-energized .by opening of the switch 12 so that the armature 13 with the pusher rod moves to the left and is ready for the next dispensing oper ation.
  • FIG. 5 shows a washing machine of the drum type.
  • the drum 30 is rotatable within a sheet metal housing 31 and is to be charged with laundry through a lateral opening 32 which is closed during washing operation.
  • the drum 30 is fixed on a drive shaft 33., .Mounted above the shaft 33 is a catch sheet or tray 34.
  • the detergent 4; tablet 1b is supplied from a dosing device of the type described above and passes through a pipe 35 onto the sheet 34 where it is ground to particles between the sheet 34 and the adjacent wall of drum 30.
  • FIG. 6 shows several stacked detergent tablets 51 in a tube 53, the tablets 51 each having protecting sheets 52 provided only on one side.
  • the tube 53 may constitute the container for the tablets 51, and may be secured as a magazine to a machine at the tablet entrance.
  • an automatic washing appliance having a washing chamber, means for supplying water to said chamber and control means for controlling the washing operation of the water, in combination, an apparatus for sequentially issuing shaped portions of additive substance to the water in dependence upon said washing operation, said apparatus comprising a magazine having a magazine space dimensioned for receiving a total number of said shaped portions beside each other and having an inner cross section substantially matching that of said shaped portions, said total number being sufiicient for a plurality of complete washing operations, and a dispensing device engageable with said magazine and connected with said control means to be controlled thereby for dispensing during each washing operation a number of said portions from said magazine and granulating means communicating with said water supply means for comminuting the dispensed quantity.
  • an automatic washing appliance having a Washing chamber, means for supplying water to said chamber and control means for controlling the washing operation of the water, in combination, an apparatus for issuing additive substance to the water in dependence upon said washing operation, said apparatus comprising a magazine having a storage capacity for a total quantity of additive substance corresponding to a plurality of complete washing operations and containing when in operative condition, said substance in at least one coherent piece of a given spatial shape, a dispensing device engaging said magazine and connected with said control means to be controlled thereby for dispensing upon each control operation from said total quantity a given shaped portion of said substance from said magazine, said means for supplying water to said chamber including a pump, and granulating means for comminuting the dispensed quantity, said granulating means including said pump.
