[0004] Além disso, tais gavetas são geralmente providas de travas que tem a função única e exclusiva de impedir sua remoção e/ou desacoplamento involuntário, o que poderia causar danos às peças de roupas a serem processadas, além de outros transtornos diversos. Para tanto, sempre que o usuário precisa remover a gaveta para fins de manutenção ou higienização, ele deve acionar as referidas travas ao mesmo tempo em que puxa a gaveta para fora do local de instalação e, para tanto, deve utilizar as duas mãos para simultaneamente liberar as travas (geralmente existe uma trava em cada extremidade posterior da gaveta) e puxar o compartimento para fora de sua região de alojamento. [0005] Nota-se, portanto, que no atual estado da técnica são necessários dois (ou mais) componentes distintos para possibilitar a dosagem de insumo e para garantir o adequado acoplamento da gaveta em seu local de uso, o que requer processos e técnicas de instalação e montagem mais complexos, onerosos e demorados. In addition, such drawers are generally provided with latches which have the sole and exclusive function of preventing their removal and / or unintentional uncoupling, which could cause damage to the garments to be processed, as well as various other disorders. To do so, whenever the user needs to remove the drawer for maintenance or cleaning purposes, he or she must engage the latches at the same time as pulling the drawer out of the place of installation and using both hands simultaneously. release the latches (there is usually a lock on each rear end of the drawer) and pull the compartment out of its housing region. It is therefore noted that in the current state of the art two (or more) separate components are required to enable input metering and to ensure proper drawer coupling at its place of use, which requires processes and techniques. costly and time consuming installation and assembly.
[0006] Nota-se, portanto, que o atual estado da técnica carece de soluções que consigam agregar, em um único elemento, as funções de travar o compartimento e dosar insumos, de forma simples, prática, versátil e eficiente. It should be noted, therefore, that the current state of the art lacks solutions that can aggregate, in a single element, the functions of locking the compartment and dosing inputs in a simple, practical, versatile and efficient.
Obietivos da invenção  Objectives of the invention
[0007] Portanto, a presente invenção visa, basicamente, solucionar o problema técnico da complexidade de produção, montagem e manuseio das gavetas ou compartimentos de dosagem de insumos de lavagem providas se elementos de travamento e de meios para orientação da quantidade de insumo a ser armazenada. Therefore, the present invention basically aims at solving the technical problem of the complexity of production, assembly and handling of drawers or dosing compartments of wash inputs provided with locking elements and means for guiding the amount of input to be used. stored.
[0008] Assim, o principal objetivo da presente invenção é revelar um dispositivo de travamento para aparelho eletrodomésticos que compreenda, também, um elemento para dosagem de insumos. [0008] Thus, the main object of the present invention is to disclose a locking device for household appliances which also comprises an input dosing element.

[0023] Descrição Detalhada da Invenção Detailed Description of the Invention
[0024] O objeto da presente invenção passará a ser mais detalhadamente descrito e explicado com base nos desenhos apensos, que possuem caráter meramente exemplificativo e não limitativo, posto que adaptações e modificações podem ser feitas sem que, com isso, se fuja do escopo da proteção reivindicada.  The object of the present invention will be further described and explained on the basis of the accompanying drawings, which are merely exemplary and not limiting in nature, as adaptations and modifications may be made without thereby departing from the scope of the present invention. claimed protection.
[0025] A presente invenção refere-se a um dispositivo de travamento 1 que está detalhadamente ilustrado na Figura 3 anexa, o qual compreende uma estrutura unitária definida, basicamente, por ao menos uma superfície 10 compreendendo indicações de nível de insumo 1 1 feitas por ao menos uma dentre as seguintes formas: moldagem em alto ou baixo relevo, gravação, pintura ou pela cooperação - por soldagem, interferência, acoplamento, colagem ou com o auxílio de elementos de fixação quaisquer - de elementos contendo grafismos indicadores de nível de insumo. The present invention relates to a locking device 1 which is illustrated in detail in the accompanying Figure 3 which comprises a unitary structure defined basically by at least one surface 10 comprising input level indications 11 made by at least one of the following forms: molding, embossing, engraving, painting or cooperation - by welding, interference, coupling, gluing or by means of any fastening elements - of elements containing input level indicator graphics.
[0026] Na concretização preferencial ilustrada nas Figuras 1 a 3 anexas, o dispositivo de travamento 1 possui uma única superfície 10 que coopera com um compartimento interno 21 central delimitado por paredes internas 23 de uma gaveta de armazenamento de insumos 20 a qual, por sua vez, coopera com a tampa fixa 30 de uma máquina de lavar roupas M. In the preferred embodiment illustrated in the accompanying Figures 1 to 3, the locking device 1 has a single surface 10 which cooperates with a central inner compartment 21 enclosed by inner walls 23 of an input storage drawer 20 which in turn cooperates with the fixed lid 30 of a washing machine M.
[0027] Ainda nessa concretização exemplificativa, pode-se observar que cada uma das extremidades distais da superfície 10 são solidárias a hastes longitudinais 12 simétricas que apresentam extremidades livres compreendendo acoplamentos 13 - que, por exemplo, podem ter forma de ganchos - cooperantes com a parede posterior 22 da gaveta 20, e que são os elementos responsáveis pelo acoplamento do dispositivo de travamento 1 à dita gaveta 20, sendo que carnes 15 existentes sobre a superfície superior das hastes 12 cooperam batentes 31 solidários à estrutura que alojará a gaveta 20. Assim sendo, ao inserir a gaveta 20 no interior do alojamento correspondente, mediante leve pressão as paredes laterais anguladas dos carnes 15 fazem com que as hastes 12 se comprimam até que os ditos carnes 15 ultrapassem os batentes 31 , momento em que as hastes 12 retornarão à posição de repouso e os carnes 15 se manterão bloqueados pelas paredes 31 impedindo que o dispositivo de travamento - e consequentemente a gaveta 20 - sejam involuntariamente desacoplados do alojamento.  Still in this exemplary embodiment, it can be seen that each of the distal ends of the surface 10 are integral with symmetrical longitudinal rods 12 having free ends comprising couplings 13 - which, for example, may be in the form of hooks - cooperating with the rod. the rear wall 22 of the drawer 20, and which are the elements responsible for coupling the locking device 1 to said drawer 20, with meat 15 existing on the upper surface of the rods 12 cooperating stops 31 integral with the structure that will house the drawer 20. Thus whereby by inserting drawer 20 into the corresponding housing, under slight pressure the angled sidewalls of the meats 15 cause the stems 12 to compress until said meats 15 exceed the stops 31, at which time the stems 12 will return to the rest position and the meats 15 will remain locked by the walls 31 preventing the locking device - and consequently drawer 20 - are unintentionally decoupled from the housing.
[0028] Neste aspecto, cabe esclarecer que as hastes longitudinais 12 simétricas também perfazem, em sua porção medial, concavidades 14 destinadas a prover grande ergonomia ao dispositivo de travamento 1 e, assim sendo, facilitar seu manuseio para acoplamento e remoção da gaveta 20. Assim, para remover a gaveta 20 de seu alojamento de utilização, basta o usuário posicionar os dedos polegar e indicador de uma única mão ao redor das concavidades 14 e pressioná-los um contra o outro conforme indicam as setas da Figura 3 anexa, até que se liberem os carnes 15 dos batentes 31 e se consiga, enfim, puxar o dispositivo de travamento juntamente com a gaveta para fora do alojamento, completando sua remoção.  In this regard, it should be noted that the symmetrical longitudinal rods 12 also comprise, in their medial portion, concavities 14 designed to provide great ergonomics to the locking device 1 and thus facilitate its handling for coupling and removal of the drawer 20. Thus, to remove drawer 20 from its use housing, the user simply places the one-handed thumb and index fingers around the recesses 14 and press them together as indicated by the arrows in the attached Figure 3 until the cams 15 are released from the stops 31 and finally the locking device and the drawer can be pulled out of the housing, completing its removal.
[0029] É importante destacar que esse procedimento de remoção da gaveta 20 pode ser feito de forma muito fácil pelo usuário com apenas uma de suas mãos - o que revela claramente sua praticidade e ergonomia. Vale esclarecer também que as extremidades livres em forma de ganchos 13 podem conter meios quaisquer de travamento à parede posterior 22 da gaveta 20 sem que, com isso, se fuja do escopo de proteção aqui reivindicado. It is important to note that this drawer 20 removal procedure can be done very easily by the user with just one hand - clearly revealing its practicality and ergonomics. It is also important to clarify that the hooked free ends 13 may contain any means of locking to the rear wall 22 of drawer 20 without thereby escaping the scope of protection claimed herein.
[0030] Uma concretização opcional da invenção está representada na Figura 4 anexa, na qual o dispositivo de travamento 100 contém diversas superfícies 101 interligadas entre si por braços 102 ou outros elementos afins, de modo que com uma única peça seja possível prover meios de dosagem de insumos para todos os compartimentos internos 21 da gaveta 20. Cabe enfatizar, porém, que se trata de uma concretização exemplificativa de uma das diversas maneiras possíveis de se interligar as superfícies 101 , de modo que os técnicos no assunto certamente compreenderão que as variadas soluções voltadas a esta característica não são capazes de interferir no escopo de proteção aqui reivindicado.  An optional embodiment of the invention is shown in the accompanying Figure 4, in which the locking device 100 contains several surfaces 101 interconnected by arms 102 or other like elements, so that one-piece metering means can be provided. However, it should be emphasized that this is an exemplary embodiment of one of several possible ways of interconnecting surfaces 101, so that those skilled in the art will surely understand that the various solutions devoted to this feature are not capable of interfering with the scope of protection claimed herein.
[0031 ] Nota-se, portanto, que o objeto da presente invenção soluciona os inconvenientes do atual estado da técnica de forma totalmente inédita, prática e eficaz, com grande ergonomia e com processos de fabricação e montagem ágeis e económicos.  It is therefore noted that the object of the present invention solves the drawbacks of the present state of the art in a completely new, practical and efficient manner, with great ergonomics and with agile and economical manufacturing and assembly processes.
