20090276966 | Washing machine with hollow agitators - A washing machine includes a horizontally rotatable drum having a drum shell. Hollow agitators are disposed on the inside of the drum and have a base as part of the drum shell and at least one inlet opening to allow lye into the hollow space. Outlet openings are located on a top region of each agitator for allowing lye to pour out upon rotation to an elevated position. A fixed barrier located in the hollow space of each agitator serves to divide the space to define a chamber such that upon rotation from a lowest position, the chamber fills with lye, and upon further rotation the lye flows out of the outlet openings. | 11-12-2009 |
20090301143 | Front-Loading Laundry Treatment Machine - A washing machine includes a liquor container suspended for oscillating in a housing. A washing drum is rotatable within the liquor container. A material-elastic collar is connected for establishing a liquid tight seal on the edge of a front-side loading opening of the liquor container, connecting with a housing-side loading opening, and with a door mounted for sealing the housing-side loading opening. A filling element is located on the door and has a curved outward portion in the shape of a truncated cone. The filling element has a surface area with at least one recess commencing close to a largest diameter of the cone portion, and forms a rising surface of sickle shape in the direction of the interior of the drum and toward a smallest diameter of the cone on the surface area thereof. | 12-10-2009 |
20090308109 | Modular System for Drums of Laundry Care Devices - A modular system for drums of laundry care devices including at least one of washing machines and driers, the modular system including at least two similarly configured base bodies for securing to a respective drum, wherein the at least two similarly configured base bodies are configured for mounted receipt of at least two different functional parts, with the at least two different functional parts being interchangeable on a respective one of the at least two different base bodies. | 12-17-2009 |
