Definitions

  • the invention relates to a metering memory according to the preamble of the main claim.
  • Such a metering memory is known from EP-A O 248 341.
  • the filling / dispensing openings are formed in the flat, large-area bottom area of the lid.
  • the air emerging from the openings when filling can impair the filling process.
  • the stability in the lid area is not very high.
  • the laundry treatment liquid initially runs out of the filling opening when the dosing reservoir is embedded in the laundry and circulates within the washing machine drum or the like.
  • this even leads to a maximum non-uniform delivery of the laundry treatment liquid in such a way that in the beginning the amount flowing out per unit of time is a multiple of what is still flowing out of the dosing reservoir when the liquid level is in the overhead position of the dosing reservoir the content falls below the level of the filling openings.
  • the liquid is again released in a manner similar to pouring out from a normal bottle neck.
  • the filling and running-in of liquid is not optimal. Splashing of liquid easily occurs during pouring. The filling openings are too central for water to flow in to flush out the storage tank.
  • the object of the present invention is to design a metering store of the generic type in such a way that, in addition to the advantage of dispensing quantities as uniformly as possible in an improved area distribution, on the one hand the inflow of liquid is optimized, be it for pouring in the laundry treatment liquid and / or running in water during the work process, and on the other hand a residual start of the laundry treatment liquid is promoted by the optimal storage position.
  • a metering store for holding and dispensing a laundry treatment liquid in a washing machine or the like, in which, in addition to a convenient filling / running in through the openings, there is also a uniform dispensing over time, with a favorable area distribution.
  • the central elevation avoids a completely free straight connection between the openings. It not only prevents the openings from being closed by items of laundry, but also promotes the distribution of liquid during the circulation movement during the workflow.
  • the dispensing dosage can even be adjusted well via the dimensions of the openings without impairing the filling advantages.
  • the dome-shaped elevation also favors filling; the increase causes a distribution by draining the liquid and promotes a laminar, vortex-free running-in.
  • the liquid flows out of the dome without vortexing, so that openings to the outside are never completely filled with product and air can escape there.
  • This flow movement of the liquid to the holes optimizes the liquid passage in such a way that in particular no splashes, bubbles or the like occur.
  • the risk of overfilling is extremely low. It can be seen in good time that the liquid level is now approaching the height of the floor area.
  • the dome-shaped shape of the elevation serves to even out the rolling movement in the washing machine or the like, which also contributes to making the dispensing amount even.
  • the rest of the dome remaining in the dome provides an orientation with its weight parameters to favor the optimal storage location for the remaining spout.
  • this shape also offers that of the optimal stability of the storage body against deformations under loads caused by the laundry or centrifugal force; Even metering memories made of relatively thin plastic material can withstand relatively high loads due to their corresponding shape. If the gutter and dome are provided on a separate cover part, the remaining container area can even be deformable, be it by pressure in the hand or even deformable under the workload inside the washing machine or the like. The fact that it protrudes from the top of the dome is favorable from a dispensing point of view; especially for unrolling.
  • the metering reservoir has the storage container 1. This has the openings 2, which are arranged in the bottom region 3 of an annular trough 4 which has the same cross section.
  • the ring gutter 4 extends concentrically to a dome-shaped elevation 5.
  • the dome apex 5 'of this dome-shaped elevation projects beyond the gutter apex edge 3'.
  • Trough and dome are provided on a clip 1 'clipped onto the storage body 1'.
  • the snap-in projections 6 shown in FIG. 3 on the pot edge serve for clipping on 7 of the lid 1 'in cooperation with counter-projections 6' on a collar-shaped circumferential step 8 of the container part 1.
  • the dosing storage container also has the dimensional markings 10.
  • the storage container 1 is essentially designed as a ball.
  • the lid attachment joint 11 for part 1 'sits above the center of the sphere KM. It extends in a secant plane to this sphere.
  • the bottom area of the channel is also on such a secant level.
  • Number and dimensioning of the openings 2 depend on the one hand on the consistency of the laundry treatment liquid, e.g. Liquid detergent and on the other hand essentially according to the intended dispensing amount per time.
  • the conditions for the filling process can then be adjusted via the size of the trough, in particular its cross section, or it is provided that the cover is removed for filling, which of course enables the fastest filling.
  • the lid 1 ' is equipped with a gutter vertex edge 3a, which runs in a relatively large, almost uniform curvature - comparable to the inside dimension of the gutter 4 - from the circumferential surface of the accumulator into the bottom area equipped with the openings 2 .
  • This brings with the transition area U a good roll even if the dome apex 5 ⁇ does not protrude from the top edge 3a deviating from a dosing reservoir according to claim 1.
  • this also brings enlarged run-off surfaces for the laundry treatment liquid after it has passed through the openings 2. These extend on the outside of the gutter to a higher level N than on the inside facing the dome apex 5 ', 5..
  • the cover with the stabilizing collar 12 can be put on.
