20140060122 | Laundry Machine - A laundry machine, particularly of the front loading type, is proposed. The laundry machine includes a cabinet with a front panel having a laundry loading/unloading opening, and a door for closing the laundry loading/unloading opening. A washing tub is accommodated within the cabinet and has an opening corresponding to the laundry loading/unloading opening. A drum is rotatably arranged within the washing tub in such a way that a frontal rim of the drum faces the laundry loading/unloading opening, and a bellows connecting a rim of the laundry loading/unloading opening to the opening of the washing tub. The bellows includes a first and a second lip protruding towards the rotation axis of the drum. The first lip is closer to the front panel than the second lip and is adapted to hinder the passage of foreign bodies from the drum to the washing tub through a gap between the drum and the washing tub. The second lip is adapted to hinder the passage through the gap of foreign bodies possibly trespassing said first lip. The frontal rim of the drum is located between the first and the second lips. The first lip includes a first lip end having a distance from the rotation axis greater than the distance of the frontal rim of the drum from the rotation axis, so that the first lip end is close to, but spaced apart from the frontal rim. | 03-06-2014 |
20140157835 | Laundry Washing Machine with a Water Softening Device - A laundry washing machine includes an outer casing and, inside the casing, a washing tub arranged inside the casing directly facing a laundry loading/unloading opening realized in a front wall of said casing, a rotatable drum arranged in axially rotating manner inside the washing tub and structured for receiving the laundry to be washed, a detergent dispenser which is structured for supplying detergent into the washing tub, and a water softening device which is structured for reducing the hardness degree of the fresh water supplied to the washing tub. The water softening device includes a water-softening agent container filled with a water softening agent able to reduce the hardness degree of the fresh water supplied to the washing tub, a regeneration-agent reservoir which is structured to receive a salt or other regeneration agent for performing a regeneration of the water softening function of the water softening agents, and a water supply circuit which is structured for selectively spilling/pouring a given amount of fresh water into the regeneration-agent reservoir. The regeneration-agent reservoir includes a regeneration-agent container which is fillable with a given quantity of regeneration agents, and the water supply circuit includes a first sprinkler head provided with a shower-making portion which is structured for feeding a shower of water droplets by gravity into the regeneration-agent container. | 06-12-2014 |
20140157836 | Laundry Washing Machine - A laundry washing machine includes an outer casing provided with a front wall, two side walls, a rear wall and a top wall, a washing tub arranged inside the casing directly facing a laundry loading/unloading opening realized in the front wall of the casing, a rotatable drum arranged in an axially rotating manner inside the washing tub and structured for receiving the laundry to be washed, a detergent dispenser which is housed inside the casing between the washing tub and the top wall of the casing and is structured for feeding into the washing tub a detergent, softener and/or other washing agent mixed with fresh water arriving from the water mains, a water softening device which includes water softening agents for reducing the hardness degree of the fresh water supplied to the washing tub, and a regeneration-agent reservoir which is housed inside the casing and is structured for receiving salt or other regeneration agent for performing a regeneration of the water softening agents. The detergent dispenser is provided with a first inlet which is exposed or exposable to the outside on the front wall of the casing. The regeneration-agent reservoir is housed inside the casing between the detergent dispenser and one of the side walls of the casing, and is provided with an independent second inlet which is exposed or exposable to the outside of the casing. | 06-12-2014 |
20140165665 | Laundry Washing Machine - A laundry washing machine includes an outer casing, a washing tub arranged inside the casing directly facing a laundry loading/unloading opening realized in a front wall of the casing, a rotatable drum arranged in an axially rotating manner inside the washing tub and structured for receiving the laundry to be washed, a detergent dispenser which is housed inside the casing between the washing tub and the top wall of the casing and is structured for feeding into the washing tub a detergent, softener and/or other washing agent mixed with fresh water arriving from the water mains, and a water softening device which is arranged inside the boxlike casing and is structured for reducing the hardness degree of the fresh water supplied to the washing tub. The water softening device in turn includes a water-softening agent container filled with a water softening agent able to reduce the hardness degree of the fresh water supplied to the washing tub, and a regeneration-agent reservoir which is fluidly connected to said water-softening agent container and is structured to receive a salt or other regeneration agent for performing a regeneration of the water softening function of said water softening agents. At least one among the water-softening agent container and the regeneration-agent reservoir is a stand-alone modular component-part which is provided with mechanical coupling means structured for allowing rigid fastening of the stand-alone modular component-part to the detergent dispenser. | 06-19-2014 |
20140165666 | Laundry Washing Machine with a Water Softening Device - A laundry washing machine includes an outer casing and, inside the casing, a washing tub arranged inside said casing directly facing a laundry loading/unloading opening realized in a front wall of the casing, a rotatable drum arranged in an axially rotating manner inside the washing tub and structured for receiving the laundry to be washed, a detergent dispenser which is structured for supplying detergent into the washing tub, and a water softening device which is structured for reducing the hardness degree of the fresh water supplied to the washing tub, The water softening device includes a water-softening agent container filled with a water softening agent able to reduce the hardness degree of the fresh water supplied to the washing tub, and a regeneration-agent reservoir which is fluidly connected to the water-softening agent container and is structured to receive a salt or other regeneration agent for performing a regeneration of the water softening function of the water softening agents. The detergent dispenser includes a detergent container which is fillable with a given quantity of detergent, and a detergent flush circuit which is structured for selectively spilling/pouring water into said detergent container. The regeneration-agent reservoir includes a regeneration-agent container which is fillable with a given quantity of regeneration agents. The water softening device also includes a water supply circuit which is structured for selectively spilling/pouring a given amount of fresh water into the regeneration-agent container and a water piping assembly which is structured for channeling water through the water-softening agent container. The detergent dispenser includes a water delivery member which incorporates at least part of the detergent flush circuit, and at least part of the water supply circuit and/or of the water piping assembly. | 06-19-2014 |
