Definitions

  • the invention relates to a front-loadable laundry treatment machine having a housing with a substantially circular housing opening which can be closed by a door and a suds container which is fixed in a swinging manner in the housing, with a substantially circular suds container opening and a sealing sleeve which connects the housing opening and the suds container opening, wherein the sealing sleeve is slipped onto a circumferential edge around the housing opening, and this everted portion cooperates with a clamping element designed as a clamping element, and in this area a circumferential door opening directed sealing lip is arranged for the door, and a gasket for a laundry treatment machine.
  • a gasket for sealing connections in household appliances which is provided for connection between the front housing wall and the tub portion.
  • the gasket is fastened with a substantially annular clamping element.
  • the clamping element is preassembled in the interior of the portion of the gasket to be fastened in order to reduce in this way the assembly work on site considerably.
  • the gasket is slipped around the housing opening at a circumferential fold, wherein the everted portion cooperates with a clamping element designed as a clamping element.
  • the invention thus raises the problem of improving the stability of the gasket, and here in particular in the binding area on the peripheral fold of the housing opening, in order to achieve in this way an increased life and a reliable seal.
  • the advantages achieved by the invention are that the binding area of the gasket is stabilized on the front wall, whereby deformations in this area are avoided and at least reduced in the adjacent area.
  • the required radial support forces are achieved for the sealing lip, so that the force exerted by the moving sealing lip hardly affect the other regions of the gasket with respect to the deformation.
  • Another positive effect is that the new solution is visually much more appealing because the clamping ring, and the gap in which it sits, is no longer visible, because it is covered by the support.
  • the turned-over region of the sealing collar is provided with a circumferential annular support element, which covers the clamping ring radially on the outside in the over-turned region and thereby supports the over-turned region.
  • the annular support element is integrally formed or integrally formed on the everted region of the gasket. It is as Abstützring trained support member formed as a circumferential ridge, which occupies a right angle to the sealing lip in its support position in cross-section and thus acts as an abutment to the sealing lip.
  • the support member may be integrally formed with a film hinge in the everted region behind the sealing lip, so that it can be folded or folded after mounting the gasket in the support layer.
  • This solution is particularly easy to implement in terms of tools, wherein the support element can be brought by subsequent folding in its supporting position after the over-bent portion is attached to the fold.
  • the sealing sleeve of the corresponding area is formed in the axial direction above the sealing lip or integrally injection molded and folded after assembly to the fold of the housing opening and the application and tensioning of the clamping ring in its supporting position.
  • the support element is connected by a kind of film hinge to the gasket.
  • the support element has been radially provided with an undersize in the injection mold, it sits firmly in the support position due to the radial expansion even without additional locking. It acts as a tensile force in the support element. An additional positive effect is that the clamping ring disappears under the support element.
  • the radially integrally formed by a film hinge support member has a small undersize in terms of its circumference with respect to the everted region, so that it is biased in the support position.
  • the support element takes from its cross-sectional extension forth a wedge shape, wherein the outwardly facing legs in extension forms the film hinge, and wherein the inwardly facing legs with the base side of the wedge forms a support system at the upper everted region.
  • the wedge shape is stump-shaped on the support side, and with its blunt surface it forms a supporting device with respect to the lower pushed-over region.
  • a locking nose can be formed on the blunt surface, which cooperates with a locking nose which is likewise integrally formed on the lower region in the folded or in the folded state of the supporting element.
  • the invention also relates to a gasket for a front loadable laundry treatment machine with a housing and a tub for connection between a housing opening for introducing or removing laundry and a suds container opening, wherein the gasket is slipped onto a peripheral edge around the housing opening fold, and this everted region with a designed as a clamping ring clamping element is cooperable, wherein in this area a circumferential arranged for opening sealing lip for the door is arranged.
  • the gasket is characterized by the fact that the everted portion of the gasket is provided with a circumferential annular support element, whereby the clamping ring radially on the outside in the everted region can be covered and thereby the over-pushed area is sustainable.
  • FIG. 1 shows in the cut, sketched representation of a front loadable laundry treatment machine 1 with a housing 2.
  • a door 3 which includes a sight glass 16, a substantially circular housing opening 4 is closed.
  • a tub 9 is mounted swingably, in which a driven by a motor 11 and rotatably mounted drum 10 is arranged with an at least approximately horizontal axis of rotation 10a.
  • the drum 10 in this case has a frontally arranged substantially circular drum opening 10b for introducing or removing laundry.
  • a sealing sleeve 5 is mounted on a circumferential to the housing opening 4 fold 6 Fig. 2 ), wherein in this area a circumferential sealing lip 7 ( Fig. 2 ) is arranged for the door 3.
  • the laundry treatment machine 1 has a sealing sleeve 5 for connecting the housing opening 4 with a tub opening 8, wherein the tub opening 8 and the drum opening 10b of the housing opening 4 through the sealing sleeve 5 can be reached.
  • the gasket 5 is slipped onto a circumferential around the housing opening 4 fold 6, said over-turned portion 12 cooperates with a tensioning ring designed as a clamping element 13.
  • the sealing lip 7 directed towards the door 3 is arranged in this area.
  • the support member 14 is formed as a support ring in the form of a circumferential ridge 15, which occupies a right angle to the sealing lip 7 in its support position in cross section. It goes without saying that the support member 14 adjacent to the cover of the clamping ring 13 and the forces acting on the predetermined bending points 7a forces the sealing lip 7 receives, so that caused deformations in the over-protuberance 12 and in the flat area avoided or at least kept low. Further, the sealing lip 7, which lays against the sight glass 16 of the closed door 3, supported rearwardly, the movement of the sealing lip 7 is thereby limited to the sealing lip 7 itself.
  • FIGS. 4a and 5a is a further embodiment of the invention is shown, in which case the support member 14 is configured such that it is integrally formed with a film hinge 17 in the everted region 12 behind the sealing lip 7, and it folds after mounting the gasket 5 on the fold 6 in the support position - or is foldable, as in the FIGS. 4b and 5b will be shown.
  • this formed by a film hinge 17 support ring 14 is provided with respect to its circumference with respect to the everted portion 12 with an undersize, so that it in the support position - FIG. 4b and 5b - Is biased by an expansion and developed a tensile force that pulls him into the supporting position or in the covering position.
  • the support member 14 takes from its cross-sectional extension of a wedge shape, wherein the outwardly facing leg 18 in extension forms the hinge 17, and wherein the inwardly facing leg 19 with the base side 20 of the wedge a support system on the outer edge of the everted region 12 forms.
  • the tip of the wedge shape is stump-shaped on the support side and, with its blunt surface 21, forms a support against the outer surface of the wedge
  • the wedge shape fits in a form-fitting manner into the formed groove of the recessed edge region 12.
  • a locking lug 22 is integrally formed on the blunt surface 21, which cooperates with a locking lug 23, which is likewise integrally formed on the over-turned region 12, in the folded or folded state of the support element 14. As a result of this detent the overlapping wedge undergoes an additional support in its supporting position.
  • the locking lug 22 is arranged circumferentially according to an advantageous embodiment in sections or in a further advantageous embodiment.
  • the invention relates according to the FIGS. 2 to 5 also the gasket 5 as such for a front loadable laundry treatment machine 1 with a housing 2 and a tub 9 for connection between a housing opening 4 for introducing or removing laundry and a suds container opening 8, wherein the gasket 5 can be slipped onto a fold 6 surrounding the housing opening 4 is.
  • This überstülpbare area 12 cooperates with a clamping element formed as a clamping ring 13, wherein in this area a circumferential door opening directed to the sealing lip 7 is arranged for the door 3.
  • the invention proposes that the überstülpbare area 12 of the sealing sleeve 5 is provided with a circumferential annular support member 14, whereby the clamping ring 13 radially on the outside in the everted region 12 can be covered and thereby the everted region 12 is supported.
  • the annular support member 14 is integrally formed by means of a film hinge 17 on the überstülpbaren area 12 that it generates the corresponding clamping force here after folding due to its undersize in terms of its circumference with respect to the everted region 12 here.
