Definitions

the invention relates to a detergent dispenser for a household washing machine with a chamber which can be adapted by means of moving parts for the use of washing powder or liquid detergent.
Such a detergent dispenser is known from DE 36 08 619 C2.
a bulk boundary wall is guided as a movable part in at least two substantially vertically oriented sliding guides on the two side walls of the chamber, so that it can be pushed to the bottom of the chamber.
this bulkhead In a raised position this bulkhead is adapted to the use of washing powder and in a lowered position to the use of liquid washing aids.
this bulk boundary wall In order to adapt the detergent chamber equipped with it to smaller portions of washing powder or liquid washing aids, this bulk boundary wall must be repositioned from one sliding guide into another sliding guide. It is first completely removed from the detergent drawer. If the operator is called up during this process, the bulkhead wall that has been removed from the detergent drawer can be lost.
the handling of such a bulkhead wall is cumbersome when inserted into the slide guides; the respective slide guide can be missed when it is inserted, so that the bulkhead wall occupies an unsafe position and - if this was not recognized - can be rinsed out of the detergent drawer to the rear during the next rinsing process.
the bulkhead wall can be flushed into the washing machine's tub with the detergent. If this bulkhead wall gets caught inside the tub, e.g. the radiator can even damage the radiator, its fasteners or the temperature sensor.
the invention has for its object to provide a detergent dispenser of the type mentioned above with a movable bulkhead wall which can neither be lost nor get into the washing machine's tub as a loose part and which is easier to handle without the risk of unsafe positioning.
the movable part is a bulkhead wall held on a thrust guide oriented essentially transversely to its main extent, which wall is adapted to adapt to the use of washing powder a rear raised position of the drawer guide and for adaptation to the use of liquid detergents is adjustable in a front lowered position.
the new thrust guide of the bulkhead wall Due to the new thrust guide of the bulkhead wall, if desired, it can be positioned in any number of positions of the drawer guide and even serve as a bulkhead wall for the use of liquid detergents in at least one front lowered position.
the pouring restriction wall according to the invention no longer has to be removed from the chamber for the purpose of adaptation, but is only moved in a slide guide within the chamber and, if necessary, lowered or raised again from the lowered position. The disadvantages associated with the removal of the known bulkhead wall are therefore avoided.
the bulk boundary wall has at least one additional latching position on the guide path between the rear raised position and the front lowered position for adapting the chamber volume to different required amounts of washing powder in the raised position.
the bulk boundary wall is attached to a slide with lateral guide elements which are slidably guided in the opposite guide elements on the distance between the rear and the front position and are rotationally guided in the front position for lowering the bulk barrier wall.
the bulkhead wall according to the invention can also be removed from the chamber so that both parts can be cleaned independently of one another. To do this, the detergent dispenser tray must be removed from its housing.
the detergent drawer shown in Fig. 1 has three chambers open at the top, 1, 2 and 3. On its side, the drawer carries guide rails 4 and 5, by means of which the drawer is moved in guide grooves of a housing, not shown, in the pushing and pulling direction 6 can.
the front bar 7 is used to mount a handle plate, not shown.
the chamber 3 of the detergent drawer is equipped according to the prior art with a fixed bulkhead 8. It can only be used for powder detergents - here for prewash detergents.
the chamber 2 is provided for liquid washing aids, preferably for fabric softeners.
a known siphon system 9 is installed in the chamber, which has a non-visible stowage wall at the rear, which is not shown in detail here.
the front chamber 1 is used to fill and store a dose of a main detergent, which can be in powder or liquid form.
a main detergent which can be in powder or liquid form.
the side chamber walls are stabilized by a bridge 11. Below that are attached to the chamber walls extending to the front guide rails 12. Together with other, but not visible in Fig. 1 slide guide strips, these strips 12 hold a frame-shaped slide 13 which carries the bulkhead wall 14 at its front end.
the bulkhead wall 14 has a handle 15 on its front surface.
the bulkhead wall is shown in Fig. 1 in the rear raised position of the drawer slide and is set in this position for use with a large portion of washing powder.
This is indicated by the side wall marking, which contains an arrow 16 and a stylized representation 17 for a large portion of washing powder.
the markings 18 are provided for the front raised position of the drawer guide for using the chamber with a small detergent dose and 19 for the front lowered position for using the chamber for a liquid detergent dose.
the slide 20 is shown in its three positions provided in this exemplary embodiment.
the rear raised position for adaptation to washing powder use with large doses is shown by the single-dot dashed representation.
the lateral guide element 201 is - as will be explained further below - a pot which is open to the side and whose circular shape forms a swivel joint for the lowering in the front position.
the frame 20 of the slide 13 is supported on the one hand on the lower slide guide bar 21; because of its overweight to the front, the frame is held upwards at the rear end by the pot 201 on the upper slide guide bar 12.
the bulkhead wall 14 can thereby be transferred from the front raised position according to arrow 22 into the front lowered, triple-dashed position and can be held in this new position in that lateral locking grooves on the frame 20 of the slide 13 align with the lower thrust guide -Lock bar 21.
the side strips 202 on the chamber wall between the guide strips 12 and 21 serve to lock the pot 201, which pulls on the slide 13 to the front bumps against the end faces of the strips 202. These end faces lie on a cylindrical surface which corresponds to the outer surface of the pot 201. As will be explained further below, the pot 201 can be lifted over the strips 202 so that the slide 13 can be completely removed from the chamber. This makes it easy to clean both the slide and the chamber.
FIG. 3 clearly shows that the upper guide bar 12 and the lower guide bar 21 guide the frame in the vertical direction.
the frame 20 is guided through the strips 202 in the horizontal direction.
the strips 202 on the right in FIG. 3 are continued on the rear part of the chamber, so that the pouring boundary wall 14 in the lowered position is not obstructed by the sloping side of the chamber wall on the right.
the slide 13 is shown enlarged compared to the previous representations in FIGS. 4 and 5. Its frame 20 is stabilized by means of rib-shaped reinforcements 203 on the side of the bulkhead delimitation wall 14 and carries one of the pots 201 on the outside at the rear ends of the side rails 204.
such a pot 201 is hollow on the inside and has two parallel ribs 205 which retract obliquely backwards.
the pot strikes with its cylinder part 206 against the end faces of the strips 202 (FIG. 2) when the slide 13 is pulled and prevents the slide from falling out of the slide guide 12, 21, but when the slide 13 is reinserted, these oblique ribs 205 slide from the inside onto the strips 202 and briefly force the ends of the frame bars 204 together until the pots 201 have been pushed past the strips and fall back into their original guide position between the guide strips 12 and 21.
the latching bar 206 which is attached to the outside of the spars 204, slides along the entire guide path with its latching lugs 207 under the upper guide bar 12.
the latching lugs 207 stop the movement of the slide 13 by abutment on the rear lower edge of a further bridge 211 between the chamber walls, which is part of the guide strips 12, so that this respective position is defined in a tangible manner.
the slide 13 can be pushed into the front lowered position.
a force must be overcome, which is given by the chamfered section 208 of the lower edge of each spar on the lower guide bar 21.
the spars 204 in this section 208 must withdraw from the lower guide strips 21 until they fall into the locking grooves 209 which are provided obliquely in the spars 204.
the frame 20 is rotatably guided on the end faces of the strips 202 by means of the pots 201. In the lower, lowered position, the frame is finally held in the locking grooves 209 by the guide strips 21.
the latching groove also has a chamfer on its lower edge, via which the guide bar 21 can be lifted out of the latching groove again and guided under this spar via the outside of the spar 204.
the frame 20 of the slide 13 has finger loops 210 on the inner sides of the ends of the frame bars 204, which are pressed together with the thumb and forefinger in the forward, raised position of the slide 13 can.
the spars 204 bend elastically inwards and pull the pots 201 out of their guiding position between the guide strips 12 and 21. Then the slide 13 can be pulled off to the front, the pots 201 being raised above the stop on the end faces of the strips 202 and slide over these ledges.
