| 20130042653 | DEVICE FOR DISPENSING AN ADDITIVE IN AN APPLIANCE - An appliance has a dispensing device that is configured for self-cleaning. In one embodiment, a flow regulator is fluidly connected to the dispensing device. The flow regulator has a first state in which a washing fluid is dispensed into the dispensing device and a second state in which the washing fluid is evacuated therefrom. To facilitate cleaning, the washing fluid flows through a spray device that is configured to direct the washing fluid onto a peripheral wall of a compartment in which an additive for the dispensing device can be disposed. | 02-21-2013 |
| 20130036772 | METERING SYSTEM FOR RELEASING AT LEAST THREE DIFFERENT PREPARATIONS DURING A WASHING PROGRAMME OF A WASHING MACHINE - The invention relates to a dispensing system for releasing preparations in the interior of a washing machine comprising at least one dispenser and at least one cartridge couplable to the dispenser, in which the cartridge comprises at least three chambers, which contain different flowable preparations, in which the first chamber stores at least one enzyme protein, one enzyme stabilizer and one surfactant at a pH value of 6-8, the second chamber stores at least one bleach, one complexing agent at a pH value of 8-10, the third chamber stores at least one scent and/or one optical brightener at a pH value of 6-8. | 02-14-2013 |
| 20090158782 | Methods and Systems for Water Delivery in an Additive Dispenser - A washing apparatus such as an automatic laundry washing machine includes a wash agent dispenser drawer including an additive compartment for storing various additives such as detergent, bleach and fabric softener. One or more water inflow tubes may extend downwardly into the additive compartment and may be configured to deliver water for diluting the additives contained in the compartment. The inflow tubes are of sufficient length to reach a sub-surface portion of additive held in the compartment. Water may simultaneously be delivered to the surface of the additive. Furthermore, inflow tubes have their outlets positioned adjacent to the base(s) of one or more siphon post/cap assemblies located in the additive compartments, such that a churning effect is produced from the injection of water through the tubes and the siphoning action of the siphon post, whereby mixing is enhanced and additive buildup may be avoided and/or removed. | 06-25-2009 |
| 20090288452 | Detergent supply apparatus and washing machine - A washing machine according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes a washing tub that washes laundry; a storage drawer provided under the washing tub; a detergent bottle seat provided inside of the storage drawer, a detachable detergent bottle containing a liquid detergent being seated on the detergent bottle seat; a detergent bottle connecting part connected to the detergent bottle, the liquid detergent flowing into through the detergent bottle connecting part; and a detergent pump that supplies the liquid detergent to the washing tub. | 11-26-2009 |
| 20100139328 | METHOD OF CONTROLLING A TUMBLE LAUNDRY DRIER - A laundry washing machine ( | 06-10-2010 |
| 20110067456 | WASHER EXTRACTOR WITH IMPROVED CHEMICAL DISPENSER - A clothes washing machine having a dispenser for directing chemical additives, such as fabric softener, bleach, or the like, into the wash water during a washing operation. The dispenser includes a siphoning device having a water inlet, an upstanding siphoning tube, and a chemical additive receptacle about the siphoning tube. Upon the direction of water into the siphon cup from the inlet, water is directed both downwardly into the siphon cup for raising the liquid level above the top of the siphoning tube while simultaneously being directed through a plurality of relatively small substantially horizontal passageways that impart a plurality of pressurized liquid flow streams or sprays across an upper portion of the liquid within the siphon cup for further intermixing the water and chemical additive and for preventing the buildup of chemical additives on side walls of the siphon cup. | 03-24-2011 |
| 20100000265 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING BULK DISPENSING OF WASH AID BY SENSING WASH AID CONCENTRATION - An automatic treatment machine includes a treatment chamber, a bulk treatment aid dispenser fluidly coupled with the treatment chamber, and optionally a water supply fluidly coupled with at least one of the dispenser and the treatment chamber. A method for dispensing a treatment aid from the bulk treatment aid dispenser into the automatic treatment machine in accordance with a selected treatment cycle includes selecting a treatment cycle, determining a concentration of the treatment aid, determining a volume of the treatment aid to be dispensed based upon the determined concentration, dispensing the determined volume of the treatment aid from the bulk treatment aid dispenser, and initiating the selected treatment cycle. | 01-07-2010 |
| 20080302139 | Ozone Laundry Systems - Ozone laundry systems are disclosed. In one system, a tunnel washer system generates ozone and dissolves the ozone in water at various stages of the tunnel washer, such as with a Venturi injector. The ozonated water may be stored and recirculated/re-ozonated to ensure that a desired level of dissolved ozone is present in any water delivered to the various zones of the tunnel washer. The ozonated water provides maximum cleaning efficiency and effectiveness at cooler water temperatures, saving water and energy costs. In some systems, controlled safe application of gaseous and/or dissolved ozone may be made to laundry in a washer. Ozone levels may be monitored and precisely controlled. The application of ozone using some embodiments allows the ozone to treat materials and articles of clothing such as jeans to achieve a desired look and feel, such as an appearance of having been worn. | 12-11-2008 |
| 20100095712 | FLUID DETERGENT AND FABRIC SOFTNER BOX ASSEMBLY FOR LAUNDRY MACHINE AND DETERGENT DISPENSER HAVING THE SAME - The present invention relates to a detergent supply apparatus for a drum laundry machine, and more particularly to, a fluid detergent and fabric softener box assembly which can be attached and detached to/from a detergent supply apparatus, and temporarily stores a fluid detergent and a fabric softener until they are selectively introduced into a washing room in water supply. A fluid detergent and fabric softener box assembly includes a cap which can prevent a fabric softener and a fluid detergent from being splashed into another section in a barrier portion between the fluid detergent and the fabric softener due to a fall head of water supplied from a water supply inlet of a dispenser. | 04-22-2010 |
| 20120090359 | AUTOMATICALLY CONTROLLED LAUNDRY TREATMENT MACHINE HAVING A DETERGENT FLUSHING DEVICE - An automatically controlled laundry treatment machine includes a detergent flushing device arranged in a machine interior and having a receiving chamber configured for receiving a transportable storage container for a supply containing a plurality of doses of liquid or gel-form treatment agent. The receiving chamber is accessible from outside. A device for automatic dosing of the treatment agent forms a component of the storage container and operates purely in a fluid-mechanical manner. The device is equipped with a hydraulic siphon system, said device. | 04-19-2012 |
